Dario shakes off the cold morning after his watch. He kicks some dirt onto the remaining embers and the finishes packing the little gear he has, his short swords, rope, hammer, and other tools for adventuring into his rucksack and then tosses the contents into the back of the cart. Dario checks the horses attached to the cart and examines their harnesses to make sure all is secured.
Dario then walks over to Val and gives him a playful slap on the back. "Good morning. How is Soodi this morning?"Dario asks. He then looks at the other adventurers. "So, who wants to drive this morning? I don't mind staying in the back as before,"Dario asks. He then goes over to Mistweaver and smiles at her. "We haven't really been properly introduced. Dario, from the Misty Woods. Would you mind letting me see that map?" Dario asks with his outstretched hand.
So I am underlining and italicizing character names so the stand out. If this annoying just let me know. Thanks.

Asher wakes up, makes sure his kimono is clean, patting it free of dust or debris where needed. He dons his armor, clips his glaive to his back before hopping into the driver's seat. "I do hope these horses behave more appropriately today than times prior."

"Come Scupper, tell me tales of your travels and revelry. You seem to be quite the weaver of tales."
Scupper rises and begins pulling his kit together. Well Asher, I can’t confess to all my crimes but I have led a -Scupper looks around him at the wreaths of flowers and the few that are being worn…He reaches up slowly to his own head and finding a crown of flowers…By Selune! Have we been touched by the fey? What dosser had the watch? He throws the crown of flowers at the ground and gives them a good stomp. Sure and they think it’s all sweet and playful tils ye wind up in a fairy ring losing 50 years of your life not lived! Feckin’ culchies with their flowers and sweetened berry wine! Slit me fecking throat next time and save me the pain!
Suddenly aware that he’s made a bit of a scene, he calms down and takes a deep breath.Sorry mates. Feckin’ fey with their ways. Me people is supposedly tight with the fey. Can’t stand the wee folk me’self. Always playing jokes when yer jest trying to get a bit of kip. Don’t think me a bad sort on that account. You’ll see if you stumble across the tiny bastards. Not to be trusted, the fey. What a way to begin the day, eh? Wee feckin' bastards.
Ah Asher, sorry me lad, where was I. Scupper packs up his kit and helps prep the cart for travel. Well I sailed on the Sea Witch. You may have heard of her and her sails the color of yer blood. Well, some fools blood anyway, haha! We had a grand time on the sea...when I wasn’t losing me lunch. And a fun lovin’ bunch were me mates on t’ Witch. Why there was this one time, I’d just finished lopping the hand off a less cooperative lad who held a bit tight on his sword after we’d boarded...and Merick, Meric’s a bit of a joker for a dwarf and he shouts to me, “Oi, Scupper, go find their captain and give him the finger!” Haha! Couldn’t stop laughing. Anyway we killed the lot of them but that joke stood strong for weeks at sea. Good times that. Such a laugh that Merick Rustblood!

Varinth and Soodi shall take up the rear as before. Taking a large swig from his water-skin, trying valiantly to ward off a smart hangover, Varinth overhears Scuppers outburst.
In my defense, I was drunk! Varinth shouts out to Scupper with a wide grin and immediately regrets it as the throbbing accompanies his own loud voice.

Eh? Scupper can't quite make sense of Strix but gives it a go. Molested by wh- Scupper shakes his head of the notion. Ah! Yer saying wee children did this? Well I suppose that's not too bad then. Still, I'd check yer purse. Make sure yer gold is still where it ought to be. I don't know what age they start to get handsy but I've lost a fair coin to those urchins when ye ain't keeping watch. Don't worry though.He puts a friendly hand toward the things shoulder. No need to worry about the wee bairn. I'm not out for blood ifn' it were jest children. Jest not very fond of all that flower folk shite. No offense. I'm sure that looks jest lovely on yer own head. I'll jest be keeping me hat on me own head.
Scupper get's back to prepping the cart and cinching up the reigns to the horses.Now I'll jest get the cart ready and we'll shove off soon enough. You eh...you have yerself a nice time with yer flowers and whatnot.

History? to see if Asher has heard of Scupper's pirate group on the Sea Witch: 5
Asher sees Scupper remove his flower garland, and feels his own head. He is surprised to find another wreath upon his head after already throwing one off during the night. He casts his aside, in front of the horses to trample on before listening to Scupper's story. "Well then. That's quite the story Scups. It would seem like you've many a tale on the seas there. I've never been out to sea myself, being more of a woodlands type. I wouldn't be opposed to it however. Maybe one day if we're lucky enough to find the Sea Witch, I would love to board the vessel."
Upon hearing Scupper's warning for Strix to check his pockets, Asher sees if he has been pickpocketed at all as well.
You get underway shortly after dawn, and in the clearer light of morning you are able to see the three small houses from the night before, standing apart from the road, and in the window of the nearest house, perhaps two small faces watching you leave.
You make good progress, and soon the sun is high in the sky and warming you pleasantly. Asher has taken the reigns once again, and has no trouble moving the cart forward; the horses appear to have enjoyed their meal of flowers and be ready for the day's journey. Scupper makes some comments about managing horses; they may or may not help. At midday, you stop to rest briefly, and a rider passes by. They are headed south at considerable speed, but they pass without coming close to you or the wagon. You don't notice if they're wearing any uniform or mark to indicate who they are.
Asher and Scupper, you check your pockets and packs; nothing has been removed or disturbed, as far as you can tell.
Asher, you've heard of the Sea Witch, a pirate ship that has attacked peaceful trading ships up and down the Sword Coast and sometimes further afield. You've heard tavern tales, but can't recall any of the specific details; you remember that the stories sounded rather implausible when the bards told them.
The rider spares your group only a passing glance, and doesn't appear interested in you at all; they continue on their journey south.

"I wonder where there off to in such a rush,"Dario says to no one in particular while watching the riders disappear over the horizon. Dario sips water from his waterskin and wipes his mouth his arm. He pours some water into his cupped hands, splashes his face, and the water washes away some of the mud that streaked Dario's copper skinned face. He scratches his head and then walks up to Strix and nods. "If you want, I can take point for the next leg of the trip,"Dario says.
When the group is ready to move out Dario will take up lead position armed with his long bow ready with an arrow and will keep an eye out for any ambushes.
Dario takes the lead in the afternoon and you continue southward in the direction of Waterdeep; you pass two groups of travellers on foot, headed to Neverwinter; they offer a greeting as they pass.
Dario, you notice maybe four deer in the grasslands to the east of the High Road (you can attempt to hunt them if you wish).
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Dario spots the deer and smiles to himself. Quickly he dashes to the back of the caravan to Strix and Val and says "Sorry to interupt," He then turns to Strix and says "Cover the front while I go grab us our dinner tonight." With that Dario strikes out to hunt the four deer.
As he sneaks up on the four deer spots the biggest buck and aims his arrow between the beasts chest and shoulder. He takes a breath, lets it out, and let's go of the arrow.
Survival: 24
I would have Dario motion towards Mistweaver to cover the front and keep Strix in the back, but wasn't sure...
On the approach, Dario sees clearly that one of the deer is larger than the others, and will provide a fine meal. He takes aim and releases the arrow, and it hits the deer in the head, killing it instantly. The other animals take flight right away, and are too fast and nimble for a second shot. Dario is able to collect the deer and recover his arrow, too.

Vaz:
About the hair? replies Varinth Not especially. If a story was told about it, it would mostly consist of it's unruly nature and innate ability to attract the young maidens to touch it. Unfortunately that touching does not extend to the poor sod beneath it.

You go, fellow Strangeman. I shall endeavor to do a better job of my rearguard duties.He makes a show of peering around Soodi's hump.

Strix rises from his contemplation and shoulders his pack, making sure everyone is wearing a flower garland.
Approaching Dario and Mistweaver he clears his throat asking
"You would care to lead? Was presumptuous yesterday."

As Varinth sees Strix trot to the back;
Glad to have some company. To be honest I'm not doing a superb job of guarding our rear
This is rather apparent as Varinth lounges on Soodi, a wet rag over his brow.
It's this giant hump you see. Totally blocks my view. Casually pointing to Soodi's Water Storage/Varinths Couch. Varinth smiles at his own humour.
Vaz guages Strix reaction You are a strange bird ain't ya. And I mean that on various levels. He gives him a wink.
