"I'm all for moving on with all Haste. But to hedge our bets...(activates communicator) ...Hello, this is Primrose, we're a few hours from the gates of Freeport with the package, just wanted to be sure they'd open the gate for us, and maybe some archers on the walls in case we're followed, thanks"
"I'm all for getting inside the walls if we can - or at least close enough for reinforcements to be in easy reach should we need them."

"...at worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
"I will send a runner to the East Gate, Miss Primrose," a voice comes over the communicator. "We will make sure the archers are alert and the gate stays open until you get inside. Over."
You push your mounts to the limit as you race the setting sun. You all make it through the gate as the sky grows dark.
From there, you are escorted to the headquarters of the Frelian Defense Forces, where you are quickly debriefed and the orb is taken from you. Your communication wrist bands are returned to the FDF as well. You are offered a hearty meal and a place to rest for the night.
The next morning, Bolin and Deragor say their farewells and head off into the city in search of other adventures.
Prim is giddy with excitement, packing her camouflage clothes and getting into her comfortable and familiar pink outfit as soon as possible.
"We did it, WE DID IT! EEEE!", she squeals and does little bouncing jumps on her toes. "You guys are the BEST!" Hugs and kisses on foreheads follow, leaving pink lipstick prints.
"I've got to write my family, and try that Revivify spell again, and, OHMYGOSH, Read the spellbook from that hob in the orb room! I wonder if I'll have time to travel to learn "Vampiric Touch"? EEEE!"
Taxidea blushes when Prim kisses his forehead. "There's a few tricks I want to work on too. I think I can figure out how to make myself invisible so those slimy goblins won't see me coming."
"...at worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
"I'm always up for hunting Goblins - I'll take the skeleton right out of em'! Let's go get Thor!" (Taxidea will definitely go get Thor ASAP!)

(As soon as Orion mentions he senses fey)
"Sounds like our "friends" are back. I vote for pressing on till it's too dark to ride safely, then leading the horses on foot to the gates."
Prim casts Mage Armor to be safe
(OOC since it's the next day of travel, I'm assuming we have our spells back)
Orion suggests pressing on with all haste. "Surely we can convince someone to open the gate for us."

"Thank you very much."
"OK guys, let's run!"
(Note we're paying attention to light conditions & mud to be safe)
[If we are traveling through forest land, Orion can't be surprised]

Orion is sorting through his backpack, trying to decide how much money he can put together to buy a better longbow.
Taxidea, your wolf mount Thor was taken to the FDF stables. What are you doing?
Taxidea blushes when Prim kisses his forehead. "There's a few tricks I want to work on too. I think I can figure out how to make myself invisible so those slimy goblins won't see me coming."
"...at worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
"Say, anyone want to hunt goblin skeletons with me? For Spell research. After we spring Thor from the slammer, of course."
Orion says, "I'm interested. I just need to do some shopping while we're in Freeport."
(OOC Did anyone tally up the loot? I forgot to write it down & need to know how much Prim can spend on spell research)
"I'm always up for hunting Goblins - I'll take the skeleton right out of em'! Let's go get Thor!" (Taxidea will definitely go get Thor ASAP!)
"...at worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
You find Thor in the stables contentedly gnawing on a big bone.
[I likewise forgot to tally up loot. :(]
My best guess is that we collectively got about 425 gold, after paying for horses etc. That would be 142 gold each, but not sure about Alora's shre.
There was also the bug bear share. I'll calculate over the weekend
