Swims grinned. "I look forward to it. A nice drink after good success sounds great. I also brought an empty bag to carry whatever we find in the ruin. We should make sure to get as much as possible to make the most out of this expedition. I think the town of Blankenmarsh is closer to the ruin than Leyawiin, so we might be able to sell some of our findings there."

The pair continued to walk along and chat for a few hours. Swims had hoped to make it at least most of the way to Blankenmarsh by the end of the day, but by noon, it became apparent that wasn't happening. Veria looked to be moderately tired, but Swims was pretty much exhausted. He had been training to fight in heavy armor, but he hadn't actually thought to train walking in it. His iron armor was rather heavy, so it exhausted him to walk so long in it. He stopped at the side of the road for a moment, panting for breath. "Hold on a moment...I just...I need a break." He said, sitting down on the muddy ground and leaning against a tree next to the road. "This armor is...heavy." He commented between breaths. "I think...we should maybe...slow our pace...a little. I'm exhausted." Swims leaned his head back against the tree and looked up at the clouds, still breathing heavily.
