The party sets up camp in the dark without issue, while observing the city below. As soon the wave hits the city, it seem to scattered into small groups setting up camps judging by the campfires.

One by one, everyone takes a turn watching and observing the army from a far distance. It's Gotch on the last shift as the day is peeking through the horizon see an small unit (about 4-5 individuals) breaking from the small army, marching pass the city walls towards the mountain paths. 

"Time to go." Gotch says, waking everyone up and getting them moving.

Onyx gets up quickly and grabs his stuff. 

"I think we better hurry then." 

Quickly packing up the camp in the training sun light, the party head down the path toward Caelfalls. 

What the pace?

Lyrant packs up her gear and picks up her warhammer and shield. She will move along with everyone else.

"Do we wish to take that artifact back?"  Gotch asks.  "We don't even know that much about it yet.  Sure we shouldn't study it first?"

As he packs his things away Raynor will ask "Should I try and learn what school of magic the object was created using?"

As they continue heading away from the knights Gotch nods to the others.  "I can also cast a detect magic spell if we need me to do so."  He glances to Onyx.  "Are you going to scout as we move out, or what do you think is our best option?"  He sends his familiar out to look out from above, but continues walking away from the oncoming knights.

Gotch is talking as they move...

„Onyx would suggest, we make haste and move as fast as possible. We can examine the object when we make a break. The familiar could scout ahead to avoid ambushes.“

Perception (8&21)

Onyx sets off at a fast pace, hoping to escape the scouting unit from the Knights. The pace while is simple it's very uneven and rocky, making attempts to examines the relic, while flat seems very hefty, very difficult to do while on the run/power walk. 

Through familiars and spot checks, the party see unlike the main force, the scouting party is quite swift and made it from the base of the mountain to plateau they had set up camp in in half the time they took. They can see the scouting party seems to be investigating the site thoroughly but they set off down the path you're taking at a fast pace. They're about a step slower than the party is going due to their heavy armor, they're seems quite unyielding as they continue down the path.

 The scouting party seems to consist of five members, all in heavy armor but without getting closer, it's hard to tell what kind. Three wielding lances, one a mace and one, a pair of swords. They move in formation with the three lance wielders in the front, the mace wielder in the middle and the swordsman in the back. 

Does the party continue it's pace for next two days to Caelfalls?

(I think we need a response to Gotch's question on if they should bring the relic there or not first.)

"Onyx thinks we should bring as much distance between us and the army today, and tonight i rought them up a litle bit. As fir the relict, yes we bring it to Caelfalls, thats the whole reason we are out here anyway." 

"I just think we need to know more about this artifact before we go handing it over to anyone."  Gotch says with a shrug.  "If you want to just hand it over, then fine, but feels like a mistake to me."

While walking Raynor will quietly cast Detect Magic
