"I know the way," Gytha volunteered, glancing first toward the man with the wolf that had posed the question, then around at the others in the newly formed company.  She was certain of the town by the king's description of their orchards.  She stepped into the middle of the group so that everyone could easily hear her,  "The town is Alpton.  I was there only a few times and the most recent was over a year ago, but the way is not hard to know.  We need only to travel north along the Kots River.  The farmers use the river to ship their fruits down to the capital, but there is also a road that runs beside the river for their beasts to haul their rafts back upstream."      

So once any last minute preparations were made, the ranger Gytha began leading them east, toward the Kots River.  

This part of the journey did not seem treacherous to her, so she fell into step beside one of her new companions.  [i](OOC- Anyone!)[/i]   "Have you been to Alpton before?  I'm nervous that if we don't make it there before the orcs, the farmers may not be able to hold them off for long, or at all," she said, her concern genuine.
