[@Shorticus] I'm thinking northeast, actually. No clans control that territory according to the map so there's little chance of running into folks that don't like Clan Aonghus. As far as the group's composition, I'm thinking Maire, her thrall, and maybe two or three kerns. It's really more of a scouting expedition to see where this grass might be found. As an alchemist who knows quite a bit about herbs, Maire knows where this grass WOULD grow back in Urland. Obviously, just because an area in the Hidden Valley has similar conditions doesn't mean sweetgrass will necessarily grow there. Also, Maire isn't the adventurous type so she's going to stick as close to her clan's territory as possible. No running off into the wilds like some people *Eyes Eliz*
