"In the interest of keeping up, the horses are supposed to be able to carry two riders. So if the others are agreeable, I'm willing to let one of you ride with me. Anyone else? And then let's go."

Orion is positioning the colt at the lead of the party, well away from Taxidea's steed. He pats the horse lightly on the neck, and says, "You're doing just fine, Braveheart."
"Thank you Prim. Horses and I have a complicated relationship. I will call this one Eindride. Easy little boy. We have a long journey together." Oskar offers an apple to help calm the colt.
Okay. So, we have Prim and Grugnar on Beauty, Orion on Braveheart, Oskar on Eindride, Alora and Varnak on Trixie, Taxidea on the wolf Thor, and Kraksar on foot. If everyone is ready, you set out for your first day of travel. The day is warm and sunny, a good day for riding, but after a while the sun begins to set.
We look for opportunistic game & water on the journey but don't go out of our way figuring we have supplies for now, then look for a place to set up camp.
"None taken - it's a smart idea. I do have some meat for him - the Goblin I bought him from said to keep him fed or he might run off."

Alora can give Trixie a go.
Strength check, 10
By tightening your legs and holding onto her neck, Alora, you are able to hold on as Trixie rears up at the approach of the wolf.
"Easy girl easy."
Grugnar.,
Yes, Miss Prim?

"In the interest of keeping up, the horses are supposed to be able to carry two riders. So if the others are agreeable, I'm willing to let one of you ride with me. Anyone else? And then let's go."
"I would be pleased to ride with you," Grugnar replies.
"I'd rather walk," Kraksar says.
Varnak jumps onto Trixie behind Alora before anyone says anything else.
Alora will raise shoot Varnak a raised eyebrow.
“You sure you want on this one? Trixie here is a bit jumpy might be a bit of a rough ride. I don’t mind as long as you think you can hang on.”
Strength: 21
"I will be fine," Varnak whispers. "I have a way with horses."
The buckskin colt attempts to kick the wolf away but instead dislodges its rider Oskar. Oskar, roll an acrobatics check.
Taxidea directs Thor away from the horses. "Sorry about that," he says. "But who's a good boy? You are! Yes you are!" he says to Thor.
"...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."
Orion is positioning the colt at the lead of the party, well away from Taxidea's steed. He pats the horse lightly on the neck, and says, "You're doing just fine, Braveheart."
Prim moves into position to stop Oskars mount if it tries to run. "Easy there. Beauty, talk to your kid."
"Thank you Prim. Horses and I have a complicated relationship. I will call this one Eindride. Easy little boy. We have a long journey together." Oskar offers an apple to help calm the colt.
Alora gives a small chuckle.
”Well see then I guess. We are ready when everyone else is.”

Orion is keeping an eye out for anything amiss in the area as he looks for a suitable campsite.
As you look around, Orion, you see a large bird-like creature fly above you then dive down toward a spot just off the road ahead of you.
