	Kyra just smiled at Sona, she seemed happy to get the music sheets. At least they had finally found a home where they would be put to use in a good way instead of just as kindling if it came down to it. Gathering her things she hefted her pack onto her shoulder and picked up her bow. With a quick whistle Ash rushed over to her side and she motioned for the door.

	[color=a187be]"Alright folks, let's get packed up and ready to head out. We have a long road ahead of us. Let's get as much of it out of the way before the rain sets in,"[/color] she said as she motioned towards the clouds outside of the window.

	Stepping outside she tossed her pack into the back of Cremwise's wagon and stepped over to the merchant who was already seated up at the front with the horses reigns in his hands. He gave a smile, he was ready to go. He wasn't looking forward to having to get through the orc territory but with this group at least he stood a good chance of getting through without incident. Hopefully the orcs would just let the merchant get through without issue, they weren't military it was clear. He was even thankful for the Half-Orc; maybe that would buy them some [i]kindness.[/i]

	Kyra knew better, Orcs and Half-Orcs did not get along. She was figuring there would be at least one or two scuffles during the trip. Maybe if they made a strong enough showing during the first it would make the orcs back off enough to get through without any others but Orcs were not known for baking down from a fight. And if they were working with the same goblins that had attacked her adopted home, it would make things even worse. This was going to be anything but an easy walk through the woods. She would have rather gone on foot alone off the main path but it wasn't like the wagon could handle the hilly terrain, if heavy rain set in on the dusty path that alone would cause some issues. Least they had a brute or two in the group to help get the wagon out of any mud problems.

	"So, how do we do this?" Cremwise asked.

	[color=a187be]"Ash and I will scout ahead of the main group. The rest will stay with you. If anything happens, I'll signal; Lob should be able to pick up on it with his senses,"[/color] she said before looking over at Lob. [color=a187be]"Keep an ear out for me but stay with them Lob,"[/color] she instructed as she pulled the hood of her mantel up and patted Ash. Unslinging her bow from her back, she knocked a bow into place and ran off through the south exit of town - the only exit and made her way along the path north until she ducked off the path and into the woods with Ash taking the lead.
