Alarei pulled the reigns of his horse to the right, turning to face the Paladin describing his strategy. The Hunter then chimed in afterwards. “We are likeminded, Hunter. Goblins aren’t ones to be reasoned with – and even if we were to speak to them, they instigated this raid” Alarei paused before continuing, “They sealed their fate.” He turned his horse back towards the city gate and began rummaging through his equipment, making sure that he had everything he needed. The Warrior retrieved his sword from its scabbard, examining the blade delicately, pushing two fingers upon base and front side of the blade and then dragging them to the tip of the blade. Satisfied with his steel, he brought it back into its sheath. The last part of his equipment was the newly gifted shield; it was rather weighty, bulky but made from strong steel. The inside had a leather strap to fit his arm, and around the front of the kite-shield it was gilded with a trim of black, whilst the design upon the shield was a wingspread Raven upon a grey field. Alarei tugged at his armor, and nodded with prideful confidence.

“Aye, I’m ready to move.” 

He kicked the stirrups against the hide of his horse and it responded with a canter, the guards let him pass through the city gate, and the walls of the city of Titania opened up into a rich and verdant landscape. He was taken aback that that some of the party didn’t own a horse…which was quite unfortunate. He circled back and made the horse trot alongside his companions. “As there are three of you without a horse, I recommend that the Bard and I scout ahead, make sure that we avoid any danger upon the road until we reach the Amalthea forest.. “ 

Alarei looked beyond the horizon towards the direction of the Amalthea forest, shielding his hand upon his eyebrows to avoid the glare of the sun. "It should take us about four days on foot to get there, we'll have to make camp in between." He rubbed the sweat from his brow, "We should keep an eye out for somewhere reasonably safe to camp...and then we can divide up our watch routines."
