Storm King's Thunder

Angel is super excited and then looks at the other members of his group

"We're keeping them; I'll name this one Cade and this one Scrappy."

He'll then take out some food for the dogs and feed them a little bit. 

//That's the real names of my dogs//

Cade and Scrappy look very similar at first glance, but you notice that each has distinctive markings on their mottled fur, and Cade's jaw is much wider and more angular than Scrappy's, whose snout is more slender.  

Rip will be on the cart again, practicing with the thieves tools.

The road from here looks fairly clear, the rain having passed over and the weather being relatively sunny and warm for the season.

The remainder of the way to Yartar is clear. Late on the second day, you pass a smashed wagon on the roadside. A trail of debris suggests that the wagon was hurled a couple hundred feet, and broke apart as it tumbled across the grassy terrain. There are no passengers or animals to be seen, and the wreckage has been picked clean of any valuables.

Later that evening, after you make camp in preparation for the final push to Yartar, you hear a distinct lack of animal noises—the silence is eerie. 

"I'm just going to say it, giants"

"You guys rest, I think your day was more trying than mine." 

Marav makes a small fire, making sure that it won't smoke and is blocked as much as possible. He settles down to meditate and prepare for the next day.

Angel is currently with his dogs. Over the past couple of days, he's been attempting to train them for basic stuff. Come when called and paying attention to him. He has been using a rope to tie the dogs to the wagon while it is parked and their sleeping so they don't wander away. There is enough slack in the rope that the dogs can sleep with Angel about 10 feet away from the wagon. Not hearing the usual noises of the night he'll stand up and strain his ears trying to listen for anything. 

Perception: 8

//Forgot the new pups.//

Marav goes over to help Angel.

Animal Handling: 16

The Cade and Scrappy, the hunting dogs, have also taken warmly to Marav, proving once again that the half-orc is much more at ease around animals than around people.

//Marav swaps out Charm Person with Speak with Animals. In the morning let's see if Cade and Scrappy want to join our fight//

// Is Boris a horse (large) or a pony (medium)? It's the difference between him fitting in the tiny hut or not... //

so long rest achieved right?

// Yup, I'm OK going forward. //

Angel will feverishly disapprove of any mention of the doggies fighting. 

"Hya  Boris!"

"Dogs aren't great for fighting, but they can help with crowd control." Marav explains. "Also, they are either gonna be loyal to us or run away when we get into a scrape. I'd prefer they knew to listen to us or we can release them someone place they won't get themselves killed."
