Slightly Off the Western Road to Thalia Village
Day 8 - Early Afternoon

Selphie points the group to the west, having heard of some recent freak rainstorm that made the route more mud the road. As a result, a number of the wilder side roads had to be used for the time being, which left people open to being attacked. In particular, after the rain stopped almost as suddenly as it began there have been rumors of sights of strange creatures being seen in those woods.

It will take them a few days to clear out the worst of the damages done to the main road. In the meantime, having someone investigate these rumors is a priority one for anyone able-bodied who were not able to help with the mess.

As a result, the patrol group slowly makes it's way slowly through a forest still waterlogged from the rain as the cart slowly plods through the leaves and underbrush. The air is dense with humidity that makes everyone's clothes stick to their bodies like a second skin as mist swirls below them.

NMorning?

"The air smells refreshing~" Rei would say in a strained cheerful voice. Socializing was no ter strong point, but she had gotten to know these individuals a bit and valued their teamwork. The rains had stopped only recently, the air was refreshing but the atmosphere was quite damp. As Rei rode on the wagon, she would scan the area with her eyes as she made small talk with the others.

Throughout the journey Selphie had been talking quietly and making small talk with the rest of the group. By comparison to other familias, Thalia familia was actually quite large, with most adults in the village being part of the familia. She had been giving out assignments to patrol for the last couple days, but this was the first time she was free enough from festival preparation to accompany the others herself.

"Let's hope... the rumours are nothing to worry about..." Selphie said in her quiet and soft spoken voice, all the while keeping her eyes alert for any sign of danger on the road ahead, along with the sides of the road and into the surrounding trees. "Let's hope... that this will be just a refreshing chill afternoon..." Selphie said again, mirroring Rei's comments as she herself took a deep breathe.

When Alba yawned, Selphie looked towards the weretiger. "Don't be too sleepy... Alba..."

While the weather wasn't ideal, the trip with some new faces was a welcome change. Elidia was always curious to see how different people would battle, hoping to pick up what she could from each individual she encountered. The wagon slowly rolled through the rough terrain, and as always Elidia kept one eye on the road and the other on what may lurk in the surrounding forest.

The sounds of the river could be heard before it could be seen mixing with the constant thrumming of insect life. Soon enough the river came into view and with it a bridge, well maintained but aging, that was just large enough for the cart.

Luna as you approach the bridge your fox ears pick up a strange sound from the rest of the noise. A base filled Croak resonated in your chest. From how your ears pointed when you felt the sound more than heard it you could tell that whatever creature made that sound it was across the bridge from you, and it was large.

"Did you notice anything Luna?" Selphie asked the renard. The elven caster narrowed her eyes ahead, though didn't really see anything.

[kitkat27]

"I heard someone croak..." replied Luna, "...or something! I felt it and I think it was large and across the bridge from us." Luna's fox ears twitched a couple trying to make sense of what she heard.

[Kerrick]

"you heard something croak hmm what the hell croaks out here not really sure I like that you said you could feel it,I can only imagine it's something horrible out here best stay alert" kerrick pulls his bow out and knocks an arrow

Alba took a deep breath and checked her weapons if its still there.

"Alright..." Selphie asked slowly, still staring at Luna. "Is it something for us to worry about?"

With that she attempts to peer back towards them.
