You start moving again down the south "Road". After about fourty minutes of travel you come to a fork. One road travels Southeast and another continues south. Those who went on the long walk will realize that they are in unfamiliar territory. The fork to the Southeast looks as if it was recently cut.
*OOG: During the long walk, Giddeon used wilderness lore to cut through the woods bypassing the fork.

*Checks for tracks - ie. Which route is popular with beastmen?*

**OOG: Dallid, the trail to the southeast has lots of large beastman tracks. The "Road" to the south has wagon ruts and you are sure this is the way you went before.

Well, do we hunt down the mutated best men, or go south great leader?

(OOG: Kidwynn would have looked for the same thing Wayne, I've been swamped at work today.)
*Looks over at Sethreal, Dallid, and Kels*
Ok, two questions luv.
First, which direction do you wish to take.
Second, do you want me to scout a head for a bit luv and see lies ahead?
*Stands at the front of the group near Kels awaiting orders for the scouting.*

Very interesting. This puts a number of things in perspective. The beastmen did indeed use the new trail - indicating the Ent Wood, Dark Wood, and Keep lie in that direction.
We will, of course, continue due South, following the road. The Inn ruins, Brokehill, and perhaps the Afflicted, will lie that way.
If you are willing, Arthos and Kidwynn, we could use some advanced scouts to hopefully find danger before it finds us.

*Nods over in Sethreals's and Kels's direction.*
I will be back in a bit or if I run into trouble.
*Takes off on the due south path Dallid suggested.*

Hey now, no scouting without me to cover your back!
*darts out from a clump of bushes and follows Kidwyn down the trail*

Shale looks around at the band, and at the trees at the sides of the forked road with mild apprehension. "What's the diffrence in journy times for each path? How many hours, or days, time are we adding to the problem if we go around to the south? Or is the route away from where we attacked the beastmen the direct route to the current problem?"

*Sethreal walks to the front of the party.*
"This is unfamiliar territory. I would like to take point, just in case."

*About 20 minutes later Kidwynn quickly emerges from the woods and returns to the group.*
Sethreal, Kels, and *Looks at Ka*, Ka right, luv? I need you 3 to come with me.
*pauses for a moment.*
Actually, Corbyn luv mind coming along as well?? We need to move quickly for Arthos and Rahl are about 10 minutes ahead.
*She waits getting ready to take off again and obviously from her stance there is no time for a long conversation.*

*Kels will be following Ka, Kidwynn, and the rest in a run once she takes off to lead the others to their destination.*
