7.1 Tail of the Manticore /_/ Ajiwe can either march south to Fort Stoutheart and use his landmarks, or strike out for the plateau east and navigate south once he gets there More info. Is the west face of the plateau forbidding (6) or unnoticeable(1). It's a 1. Is Ajiwe aware of that? Yes and would not attempt it. So it's south? Yes and... intends to try to recruit a driver using that station. Weather; high winds, dry and clear. The moon is two days from new. Barely visible. Chance of getting lost 1 in 6, they stay on course.

6.1 Hunt day It's three days later   Weather foggy. Moon waning Crescent with four days to New Moon.   Around the lodge kennels, horses are groomed and being mounted.   Those of the party are Eryn, Umbert, Kylie, and CiedPod. The latter are pillion up behind Umbert.   Has Ajiwe got the approval he wanted yet? Yes.   Has the vicomte gotten a message back to his mystic no and it's not that sort of mystic.   Has the heir hired an Assassin specialist , no and he wants to be in at the kill   But we can't just jump to the scene Riding and hunting checks Eryn 06, 13 Umbert 12, 04 Kylie 14, 04   Eryn rides expertly but she  loses track of the vicomte Umbert misses riding by 2 but has a sense of where to go Kylie misses riding by 3 but has a sense of where to go   They are only a round late Who is with the vicomte Heir and champion (who does not plan to act) Head huntsman no but not fa...

 5.1 Brigands for breakfast Watch 3: Encounter: brigands. Are these related in any way to the false knight? No and have no idea this campfire has fought a local group.   Have they fled the vicomte? No but are somewhat aware of him.   Number appearing:  10, half mounted half foot.    Kylie hearing approaching horses (advantage owing to mounts scenting or hearing) Yes.   Does Kylie bother to wake the others Yes and warns them that she will be in hiding.     "We smelled your cookfire! Mind if we share supplies with you?"   The brigand is just a normal 1HD and fails his CHA check.   Ingle rolls just on his CHA of 12 so that's a near miss.    "Oh, are you riding for the vicomte?"     "No, we're uh... foresters... riding for Sir Jax of  Hoggrider "     "Never heard of him"     "Makes sense, if you're new to this neck of the woods."     Jack can smell a lie like this and winks to Umber...
