Part 1: Setting the Scenes: Town of Hanuman

[PyroArrow]

Theodore Mumfordian (Half Sylvanian Wood-Elf) Ranger HP 8/8 AC 5):

Theodore to Dune:
"It may be something more than bandits, i sense there could be a greater danger & these folks fear to speak of it."

"Perhaps taking the shortest route to get there is best, even though it may take longer."

[Dogma]

"And don't forget that all those posting the signs have been women,"added Thifli, "Where's the menfolk? I find that to be most curious."

The dwarf gets to his feet. "Regardless, sitting here won't solve that mystery nor pay the bills. Thank ye for the information and directions."

[Dune]

Dune thinksI hope tragidore is a honey hole for some easy gold, how hard can this trip be, with my abilities hopefully this trip want take a week.

[GreyWolfVT]

Trying to think how long it would take by foot according to travel by foot for this distance in current times if you walk 5mph it will only take 7 hours..... so I guess back then and counting different races say travel on the road walking will take a days journey?

[Talmor]

"Thank you Brother, for your time, patience, and information." Eirik says, standing up bowing awkwardly to the holy man. "It appears our course is set to Tragidore, come what may." With that, he readjusts his the straps of his packs and pouches, and begins making his way out of the temple. Glancing at Theodore he says "I fear time may be of the essence, and we may be better served sticking to the main road until we approach the town."

Before exiting, he turns to genuflect before the altar, praying that not only Pelor but all the gods bless their endeavor and protect them from those dangers that lurk in the darkness, waiting for them.

[Lubidius]

Lubidius flicks and rolls his hands in an act of sanctimonious pomp, Your servent in the light if by way of sin. Ahah! Lubidius snaps his usual toothy grin as he exits with his fellow travelers. (ooc, excuse lack of coloring, entering via a Kindle tablet keyboard.)

[GreyWolfVT]

Alright assuming you all have completed your information gathering and are ready to go shall we continue on to travel time?
Dune: deduct 1sp for the loaf of bread it is exceptionally delicious and they charge a bit more than average. Didn't forget you bought that bread at the bakery

[Talmor]

I'm ready to cut to travel.

Theodore Mumfordian (Half Sylvanian Wood-Elf) Ranger HP 8/8 AC 5):

Theodore thanks the Servant of Pelor for his time & gets up to leave with the rest of the group.

Ok, so which way do we travel, the road for parts then short cuts here & there or try to bee-line straight to the town as much as possible?"

"The men of Tragidore may simply be staying put to guard the town best they can."

[GreyWolfVT]

Alright before I can move on I need to know the groups travel choice, sticking to the road or skipping the road and going straight line through the woods and other land areas?

Before you all leave the Servant hands you one last thing a map. "I suspect this will aid you in your travels, may Pelor shine brightly upon you."

[Talmor]

I vote road, assuming its quicker than going through rough country. If the direct path is faster, than I'm down with that.

[GreyWolfVT]

I vote road, assuming its quicker than going through rough country. If the direct path is faster, than I'm down with that.

Everyone please vote for the following:

1.) Road [black line on map]
2.) Straight line path (skips some road but does start and end on the main road [Red line on map]
3.) Skip the road and B line through fields/woods [green line on map]
4.) Skip the road and B line through farm land and hills [blue line on map]

Please note the faster way is going to be the road. At least that is my official DM decision.

Theodore Mumfordian (Half Sylvanian Wood-Elf) Ranger HP 8/8 AC 5):

Theodore looks at the map and says:

"Ok, i would pick pretty much going straight to, cutting out the curved roads, the big middle curved road at the least." (Red Line)

"Or through the farmland & hills." (Blue Line)

[Dogma]

"My vote is to go by the road." said Thifli. "It may be shorted as the raven flies, but tramping through the woods and wilderness is slow traveling."

[Dune]

I say we go the green through the woods route, it would probably be the most dangerous to other groups but not us, it has the most potential to make us rich, may find a underground dungeon or two. What say you guys who is with me?[/color]Dune says expectantly.

[PyroArrow]

Theodore Mumfordian (Half Sylvanian Wood-Elf) Ranger HP 8/8 AC 5):

Theodore to Dune:
"That is Exactly why it would not be a good idea to go that way as of yet!"

[Dune]

Hmm I'm willing to go the direct straight shot partial road route if its quickest then Dune suggests.red on the map

[GreyWolfVT]

If you all can just vote on the poll it makes it easier for me post final chatter and actions here and we will lock this and move over to part 2 thread.
