Dar'Quilyn spends 606 seconds and his senses glimmer as he begins to sense magic in the area. He looks around and towards the brambles and can see that there is magic along them and the ground beneath it. After analysing it for a few seconds, he can tell that there appears to be conjuration and transmutation magic at work there.
(To explain, the overgrown brambles appear to show transmutation magic, while the selected patch of earth and "fertiliser" beneath it seems to be affected by conjuration magic. It seems to just go across the ground beneath the brambles, and about a half-foot further our from there then stops.)
If he explains that, Johann will say, "Well if it only goes out half a foot, we can probably shove this cart through the forest right?" He looks around at the group for confirmation. He tells the hyena, "Samantha, run ahead and check for anything unusual."
The hyena disappears off into the nearby foliage, some rustling heard as it goes. After a couple of minutes Samantha returns, then licks Johann's hand.
"Well it seems fine, so let's get this cart through this little section before it's pitch black people!" Johann pats Brazzak on the shoulder a few times and says to him as he wakes up, "Come on buddy, we're probably going to need you to push when we get stuck. Are we going or not?"
(Whoever is planning to drive the cart, if they would like to make a Wisdom (Land Vehicle) check to work out getting it through the thicker parts of the plantlife. That means if you are proficient in Vehicles (Land) you may add your proficiency bonus to a Wisdom check.)
Jaylin, taking the reins, manages to navigate the cart around and into the underbrush. There are some rickety bits of unstable land off of this path, but with a few minutes of manoeuvring through the wooded area the cart is led back to an open bit of road.
"That's some fancy cart moving skills." Brom comments to Jaylin. "Guess this isn't your first time off road."
"Given our luck, it's gonna turn out to NOT be wolves, but some kinda shite-crazed druid called the 'druidoodie' or something. And I'll end up just as confused."
"Well if that happens, I will personally help you whack that druidoodie with your sword." Johann pats Brazzak on the arm, because Brazzak is huge compared to Johann. "I'm sure it's a simple case of wolves buddy."
(That wasn't my plan for this episode, however you've put the idea in my head now. Nah, j/k there won't be a doodie druid :-p )
The cart continues along the track for a few more hours. It has gotten dark as the cart progresses, the starlight illuminating the path dimly. As it seems like a good time to start thinking of setting up camp, the group spots the small glimmer of candlelight off in the distance, showing the frame of a window of a house.
“I can cast a spell that could give us some clues... but it will take time. “ says the elf.
If all the party agrees he will cast Detect Magic as a ritual spell.

“This is weird “ he says to the rest “ it’s like someone had embowed the spell to the ground and make it last longer that it should be... “
( If there is a place where there is no magic traces and we can thread trough he will say )
“I think that we could cross over there. I sense no magic there”

The entertainment stopping as Dar sits for ten minutes chanting, Warren is now in the back of the cart napping

Dar agrees and goes off the cart for it to be lighter and to help pushing if necessary, even if it isn’t his strong suit.

Johann gets back in the cart, settles in, and says, "We'd better hurry, it's getting pretty dark now. Don't want to miss the wolves do we?"
Brazzak trudges along behind the cart, sullen.

"Could that be a farm?" says Dar pointing to the light " We could share our food in exchange for shelter."
