[Completed] - Rhodri/GoldFinger - 5 April, 1 VC

[KingOfCowards]

It sounds like South to me.
1 day of rations deducted. We should have cooked those wolves.

[Spartakos]

Southwest, really; if I've got our position right, SW would put us straight back to Vaul. We want to be sure and skirt the standing stones, as well.

[KingOfCowards]

Sounds good to me.

April 17, 1 VC - 7:00pm

The party packs up its camp, which has begun to sprawl considerably over the course of the past several days, and heads back southwest, breaking out of he forest by mid-morning. The trip is a slot, with rain driving down around them, but thanks to the trail they used to find the tree they are able to reach the moorland with no significant delays.

The rain continues unabated as the band makes it's way back to Vaul, and whether due to luck, their newfound familiarity with the terrain, or the cover of the rain, they encounter no difficulties along the way. The group passes through the gates of Vaul, white-skinned goblin head held high, to the appreciative looks of the gate guard, seeking out safe rest for the first time in nearly two weeks.

This expedition is at an end. I will make a summary/rewards post soon. Once loot is presented, please use the loot and treasure thread to do your divvying, and make sure to indicate where you're doing the divvying. The tavern, inn common room, inn private suite or private residence are all ok, but a single room is too small.

Please deduct one day's rations and one day's inn lodging cost. The adventurers will be moved ahead to April 18.
