The Mayor mulled over Sorelias words, before Iulius stepped up to say his part.
Nodding, he replied “yes, it would go against more then tradition, it would put you at risk, and leave out much needed experience working together. People don't survive long out here on their own after all.”
clapping his hands, his smile returned. “now that its settled, you shall be sent to...deal with this tribe. Mr,Grimm, their supplies please.”
grunting, the behemoth of a man went into the back of the Inn, and left the group in silence for a minute, before coming back and dumping a large pile of...things, on the table, from a massive sack.
“rations for your trip, itll take 10 days,there and back, if everything goes well, so take as much as you want. These are dried meat rolled around vegetables, perfect for stews I say, although eating them dry is technically possible. Should be enough for everyone. Now I expect you already have most of your gear on you, so take what you can carry and be on your way.”
taking a moment to think, the mayor snapped his fingers.
“oh,right! Water! Water will be out and behind the shed, unfortunately we only have enough jugs for 2 gallons each,but the forest isnt without its hidden sources of such things.”

Players will need to decide what they will bring,as with 10 days rations and as close to as much water as you can hold, you will most likely not be able to carry everything you own...unless you wish to hunt for food. This can be done via a list at the end of your post, or via PM to me.

the sun, shining down from high above, hot, as the group, prepared as much as they could be, were lead through an opening in the Barricade and out to the edge of the Town.
“id say good luck” Grimm piped up as he stopped at the edge of town.
“but theres no such thing in these lands.” with a grunt, he turned and left, leaving the group to their thoughts, to push themselves to enter the forest on their own.
Slowly, one by one, they entered into the Trees, into the darkness that seemed to be more then just the shade made by the limbs up above. The undergrowth seemed intent to gripping and brushing their legs, sometimes even when it seemed to thin for such things.
Hours passed without any real happenstance, barely even a peep from birds, let alone any animals, as they drove deeper into the heart of the forest, until stomachs growled and the suns light started to fade.
Darkness was approaching, and with it howls and unnerving sounds no one could put to any known animal. Camp was needed, and some defense against the darkness, ever creeping.
The party would have to hope someone had remembered a match or two.
Just as the party started their preparations, suddenly they hear a howl, very close, and rustling in the under brush.
A shape lunges, latching onto Sorelias arm, teeth digging in. some sorta wolf, but its fur seemed to be made of dark mist, its drool black and shining against the last of evenings fading light. She grits her teeth, her Leather Gloves stopping some the bite,but she could still feel its teeth in her arm.
As everyone was in a panic, sound all around, no one could get to her,before a second shape caught Garth unawares, knocking him over, but he was able to get both hands on his face, keeping it inches from his face as it snapped at his nose.
Iulius got lucky, one allowed him a clean swing, but something under the creatures fur on its back stopped the creatures death, and it disappeared back into the undergrowth.
The Wolf also got lucky aswell, kicking one aside as it leaped, putting him in a standoff with it as it got back up, prowling around him.
She Who Walks With Thunder fired at some moving bush, and got a yelp and a thump in return, however another shape, no time to reload, so she ducked and rolled, the shape going over her and bouncing off Milo, who then stabbed at the beast, but only grazed it before he too was locked in combat.
As everyone got as in position as they could, they realized they were surrounded.
