Savage Harvest- adventure thread

Gerty glares at the man, "And how, good sir, do you know where we are heading?  And please, do not look at me like that." Gerty notices Sasha coming up behind her but doesn't change her stance as she faces off with the man, trying to discern herself what is going on

Insight for Gert - though we all know it won't be as good.. 17

Loran is surprised at the sudden intensity with which Gerty and Sasha are mean-muggin this poor farmer with. "Hey now you two cmon. We found him, he explained himself and he's working. There's no need to get all confrontational." Although Loran DOES silently admit to himself that if this IS that man, he may be a bit of a creep. Even so he just wants to move on. Lets just get going. Leave the guy to his field."

Seeing this unfold from afar, Aaron would get a bit concerned. If he were able to see Will grab for his rapier, he would get down from his seat in the wagon and get Luke involved.

Perception 8

Hopping down from the wagon, he would walk over to Luke's wagon and say, "Hey, Will's got a hand on his rapier. I think we should go back them up, just in case." 

Luke turns Brownie around and looks at the others and says to Aaron "What in the name of nine hells are they doing?! Seems like the little adventure has gotten to their heads."

As you all sort of gang up on the man he straightens himself up a bit. He is very tall and well built and currently is holding a hoe. He was leaning on it a bit, but now has taken his weight off of it. He answers in a slightly different tone, a little less playful and his eyes take on a more calculating and intense look. “ I am just a farm hand. Been working these fields since I was 10 years of age. Spent a year or two traveling then returned here to my home…my name Is Faramond.”

he again looks at Gerty and says” you might want to tend to your animals. They tend to wander …”

As he says this, Sasha notices her flock starting to go in different directions 

(  your insights tell you he is telling the truth, but not the whole story. You feel really uneasy about this man and can sense potential violence. He is a strong, fit and you don’t have a clue on his combat capabilities)

Sasha gives the man a cold glare before hurrying over to her flock, the flock of sheep that is, and plays her flute to calm and collect them again.
(Did Sasha's insight give anything at all?)

Luke yells to the group about the wandering animals “Come on! Aaron and I can’t watch them all. We have a job to do here!”

 ( yes, I combined them in post 1195 just above yours, lol. It’s about as much as you could figure out with the little information available.)

Sasha is able to quickly recollect the flock and you begin to move along down the road. And make good time. The weather stays nice for the day. A slight breeze, warm sun and little puffy clouds. You pass down through the tall prairie grass that seems like a golden sea. Eventually, the seas starts to be broken up with little islands of dirt and rock that become larger and more plentiful as you travel. You pass the last of the homesteads connected with Longsaddle and are officially in the wilds of the Star Metal hills.

( with the loaded wagons and the animals you can make a maximum of 18 miles per day without causing exhaustion)

About half way through the days travel you find a small patch of trees next to the hills with good shade and space for the animals to rest a little if you wish to do so, otherwise you can continue until dusk to find a camp spot

Aaron will wait for Luke to make the call since he's leading the caravan. 

It's still early, but we can let the animals rest a bit here.

Does it look like this place is used often as a camp spot?

"I wouldn't say no to a lunch break for me and my flock." Sasha says, the playing her flute and dancing over to the trees, the flock of sheep following her to start munch at the grass while Sasha lies to rest in the shade of the tree, drinking some water from her waterskin.

With that, Aaron would hop down from his wagon, stretching his legs and arms out, " I suppose it can't hurt to take a break for a bit."

He'd take a seat near Sasha, then take out an apple. after rubbing it on his tunic a bit, he'd take a bite and kick off his boots.

You want some cheese? William ask Aaron.

Gerty enjoys the rest under the tree, wondering what it is going to be like in Mirabar, she has never been to such a large town.  

Aaron smiles at Will, "Yeah you know what? I wouldn't mind some cheese, thanks. I'll trade you this other apple, they go well together." He tosses Will an apple. 

Sasha gives Will a curious look but then goes on to eat some simple bisquits before starting to play her flute again, this time a slow and pleasant tune suitable to calm and rest.
