	[i]As mentioned in my updates, we usually run die rolls and the like in our Discord.[/i] That said, I do not want to put introductory character stuff behind the firewall of a die roll. Regardless of rolls or lack thereof, Aric will get pointed in the direction of the Rose River Vineyard. Now, if you want to have him hear rumors about what went on over Harvestide, sure. Keep the roll open-ended, meaning, you roll and information will be more useful depending on how high you get it. If you want to use Arik's passive Investigation, we can work it that way. 

	Road conditions aren't great. Fresh snowfall om top of heavy snowfall and a partial melt make for a less optimal road. Instead of making it truly difficult terrain, it can be traveled at 1.5 times the speed without worrying about skill checks. Being out in the freezing temperatures without appropriate gear or some other countermeasure for a good while will require a Survival check. It takes about eight hours to reach the Vineyard from the Avonshire Township, so we're looking at twelve hours at safe speed. This is travel by merchant wagon, mind you. It is going to be a jaunt. It is not snowing presently, wind is more or less calm. There are villages along the way if a stop is needed.
