Arl Rendorn nodded when Cecelia asked about transportation. [color=lightgreen]"As you know, we do not have many resources at our disposal, but it would be impossible for you to make the deadline without horses. So, you will each be given a horse for this assignment. However, do note that the horses would slow you down in the marshes, so you'd do well to leave them somewhere out of sight."[/color] He pointed at a part of the map just outside of the Wilds. [color=lightgreen]"Once we are finished here, we will travel to the Wilds and settle in this location. We will await word of your success from our camp there before traveling to Astrid's Vigil. Be careful. The wolves aren't the only dangers in the Wilds."[/color]

[color=gray]"Forgetting something?"[/color] Loghain asked from his corner of the tent. The Arl seemed a little peeved at Loghain judging by the look he shot him. They must have had a contentious relationship. 

[color=lightgreen]"Thank you, Loghain."[/color] He said in a tone dripping with sarcasm. The Arl looked back at you. [color=lightgreen]"Loghain will act as your guide. He and Maric have... "traveled" the Wilds recently and he knows of the place you need to go."[/color]

[color=gray]"Just don't get in my way."[/color] Loghain walked towards your group and stood with you. [color=gray]"Let's get going. I don't fancy freezing to death in the winter."[/color]

-------------------------------------

And so, once you have gotten your horses and your supplies, you set off for the Wilds.
