That being said, I can use my two CLW's upon two of the wounded as long as you join me at Sunrise to adore the sun barefoot and create a lei wreath of vines to hang on a nearby branch in honour of the continuing provisions of the God's of earth, wind, fire and water ... or ale, Bacchus being the astrological constellation sign of the month.
If a character posts joining me they can take one, otherwise an npc. Failing that I will bless myself.

Hex and Raffi will take some lunch and then prepare for the day ahead. They will ensure they are packed and unencumbered between them, just incase the company decides they are setting off.

Healing on himself:

CLW: [1d6+2]=6+2=8

CLW: [1d6+2]=6+2=8

Boocob is obviously in a good mood.

Two more spells to whoever claims them first.

"I will take the healing Garrant."

Not taking the healing from Siouxsie so she will heal herself.

Nah Olos will keep watch while the others prepare spells and heal - pacing just inside the illusionary forest border [ if still up ] otherwise 90' out in a circle.

In the Jotens - After Mid-Day.
Sunday, 9th day of Planting, 597
4th day since leaving Loftwick

Qleceec (AC 1, HP 54/63)
Androgost (AC -6, HP 56/65, Armor 22/26)
Nah Olos (AC 4, HP 47/53)
Siouxsie (AC 2, HP 47/48)
Garrant (AC 8, HP 41/50)
Hex (AC 0, HP 25/27, Armor 8/8)
Raffi (AC -1, HP 17/21, Armor 8/8)
Boff (AC 5, HP 50/61)
Franny (AC 4, HP 26/26)

Garrant cast three Cure Light Wounds, two on himself (+16 HP) and one on Qleceec (+5 HP). Siouxsie also casts two Cure Light Wounds on herself (+13 HP) with no other volunteers. (Totals reflected - don't forget to mark off the spells including the others already cast today.)

The group is about 6 miles from the lands claimed by Preblshienchiashav (assuming the crystals are the border). It is about 1 PM with a slightly cloudy Planting day. The temperature is a mild 73 degrees and there is a slight breeze from the west. The sounds of the mountains abound. Any actions for now? If not, what is the plan for the group for the rest of the day?

"We should head to the settlement we set out to arrive at. We have done enough and seen enough to report to the authorities there."

"Probably a good idea Siouxsie."

How much further is the settlement (in time of travel)?

"We would need to avoid the realm of
Preblshienchiashav. It's unclear how big it is and how much extra time that would take. If we are lucky then the border is marked by those crystals for its entirety."

Here are the directions, the bold stuff you completed before picking up Hex in North Reach.
Exit Loftwick from the east gates and take the New Road (with the High Crags on your left) for about 10 miles.
At the first branch, take the northern road (again with the High Crags on your left) eventually you will reach Emberton, it is about 25 miles.
Exit Emberton from the north side of the city and after about 35 miles you will reach the North Reach. North Reach is the last town in the Yeomanry League. Recommend you stay away from the sewars. With hard riding and pushing your horses you can reach this in one day, but it will be several hours after dark when you get there.

You will find a wide trail out of the North Reach to the north that will go for about 60 miles into the Jotens. The trail will head toward the northwest and it should take about 2 1/2 days to reach these cross roads since you will be much slower in the mountains. At that point the trail will have an intersection of four trails. You will want to take the trail that heads the most to the east.
Take this trail for about 65 miles to get to Silver Spring which should take another 2 1/2 days.
After exiting North Reach you travelled about 50 miles to get to the dragon's territory and then you have marched back about 6 (1+5) total miles. So net there is about 16 miles to the intersection and 65 miles to Silver Spring. On foot, assuming that everyone can make a 9" move the team should travel about 15 miles per day on this trail. This 5 days travel plus another 6 miles to work into the mix.

"Oh, a long walk. Well, a journey of a thousand miles or even sixty five starts with a single step. Let's go."

"Um, doesn't this mean walking through the dragons territory?"

Sorry if I've completely misunderstood the route.

Hex nods in agreement with the tall wizard. That was my understanding also

The path given is through the dragons territories - yes

I think we need to re-think our plan.

"I only see only two options
  1. Follow the path and go through the 'so called' dragon's land.
  2. Forge our own path, which will take longer, but be safer.

If only we forge our own path the challenge that we have to over come is we do not know the exact directions and we could walk in the wrong direction. But I hope that would be a problem our Ranger and Druid can to solve."

"It depends on how far these scry crystals the dragon uses reach. Are they all along the border or just where the trail enters and leaves. Siouxie, would you willing to scout ahead? ."
