(Have we burned the bandit's body yet?)

 (OOC: Your party dumped the body in front of Bommie and her group, and they take care of the pyre... unless you want to do something different.)

(I'll take it!)

Reverie opens her eyes after a short rest for herself in the wagon. Listening to the incident that happens when the road is active, her blue-green eyes show a slightest of interest, and yet, she has no desire to jump into another trouble for that night. Though, she wonders what happened to those people who went missing. ”Why does that incident happens when the road is active? Also, have any people find those missing people after the event?”

Deep in thought after the encounter with the Bandit Leader, Jack accedentaly tuned some of that out. However, hearing about the road, he asks, 

"People go missing? Maybe ye have a goblin problem or something. Have items gone missing here for unexplained reasons before people start disappearing? They do that sometimes. Otherwise, I've got nothing. Maybe a strong magic user? Or the bandits were stealing people and forcing them to steal? I've really got nothing else."

"Common knowledge is the Road took them... It is wonderful, but it is unnatural." The merchant shifts uneasy, and makes a subconscious gesture that the group recognizes as a superstition to ward off celestial and infernal events. "It is safe to use, as long as you don't loiter on it." He turns to another merchant and starts chatting happily about the weather to change the subject.

"Ah, please, that's all superstition. There has to be some explanation." (Well now jack is tempted to loiter.)

(OOC: I'm trying to balance making it interesting, but not enough to get you killed. Think of it as standing at the top of a hill with a metal spear during a thunderstorm. Most of the time nothing happens, but when lightning hits, impressive but not so good for you... There will be future opportunities to do research on the Primus Road, from a safe distance.)

(ah, ok. Can't wait to research what happens if I put someone in a bear trap on the road in the middle of the night. (just kidding. maybe. ) )

(Research sounds fun :D)

Reverie starts to think what would really happen whenever they are on the road. Then she shifts her gaze back at Jack with a chuckle. ”Sounds very interesting. I do kind of want to have a experiment on that incident but I also partially want to stay away from this trouble a bit.”

"Ah, whats the harm, nothing will happen." (are any of the people at the caravan selling Hunting Traps? This sound like an investment i'd like to make.)

(OOC: The caravan doesn't have hunting traps, but the city will have blacksmiths. You can buy one later.

Let me get you to 3rd level, before you start provoking CR 20-25 opponents! Your group is still 2nd level, until you get 2 days of training to go up a level.)

(Aw... I was going to ask for that thug, put him in the trap, and cast faerie fire on him when he disappeared. But now I know. MWAHAHAHAHAH-*cough*)

 "I'm perfectly happy to stay off the road at night.  I have no desire to get eaten, or crushed, or whatever by a self-healing road..." Froskan says.

"Eh, Fine." (I'm assuming I still have the weapons I grabbed earlier and the Bag of Holding?)

”Well, if you would like to research about this interesting road, I would not stop you but do you have any plan for a research, Jack?” Reverie asks with a small smile.

"Put a criminal on the road. Tie him up. Wait. When he disappears, you use your Light powers of Light and I'll use Faerie Fire. But we... Have to get stronger. I have a feeling we won't be able to take this guy down that easily, if it is someone at all, which it is."

(OOC: I better push on the storyline, before Jack starts getting more crazy schemes...)

The next day, you can see the city of Nunkreet in the distance. The Primus Road goes straight into the northern part of the city. The city is surrounded by a low wall, but you notice that the wall has a gap for the Road. (Nothing has been built on top of the road.) There are a number of stone towers on both sides of the road, for extra security. The merchants in your wagon tell you that the Road continues past the wall, but is renamed the Avenue of the Divine, due to all the temples and churches in the city being in that area.

While you are a fair distance from the walls, the caravan halts. There are two (man-made) roads. The caravan will continue on the one headed to the suburbs south of the city. (The Harbor of Nunkreet is also in that direction, on the ocean coast.) Merle settles accounts with the guards at this time. He hands your party a stack of silver coins. One of the other guards is nearby, and coughs "ninth day". With some reluctance, Merle adds a few more coins to your pile, since the trip took an extra day to complete. That guard then adds a bag of gold, which is your share for stopping the bandit band and recovering stolen property.

You remember a few days ago that Bommie asked you to stop by when the trip was over. She and the majority of the (former) guards are heading on the other road, towards the lands north of the city.

(Everyone add 8 SP, 35 GP to your loot. Decide who adds the Bag of Holding to their inventory. Also, who gets the Gem of Brightness, since Af & Katrina will be leaving the party.)

(Ooh, can I have the bag? Please? Also, do I still have the Longsword and Greatclub I put in my backpack?)

"So, should we go meet up with Bommie, er what?"

"Yes, I guess we will since she asked us to stop by," Reverie mutters as she looks at the wall of the Nunkreet. After putting her rewards in her backpack, her gaze moves to the bag that Jack was holding after the bandits. "You know," she pauses, "I think you are using that bag of holding very well. It suits you."
