Coenwulf looks ahead to try and find any sign of his cousin. He meets up with Ragnar, saying, "Do you see that over there? It might be tracks."

They search and find only signs of small animals and old traces of humans on foot around the camp. No dog tracks, no horse prints.

With nothing to go on they can only continue or brave the deep forest on foot.

Rosamund, Hecate

The fight with the kobolds was ferocious and quick. The half-sized fey never had a chance to put up any resistance before half of them were bleeding on the ground and the other half were fleeing south.

The grateful hermit emerges from his hiding spot and nearly shouts, "Praise Christ for sending you, Sir Knight." Peeking around to make certain the kobolds were indeed dispatched, he offers the knight a smile. "Come, you must be famished from your travels. I've got a nice stew going," he says while gesturing back at his house. "And I'm sure you have questions."

Once inside, the hermit doles out the stew and pours them each a drink, allowing Sir Rosamund to ask of him whatever she might like as he sets to work rousing one of the kobolds' enough for him to be interrogated. When that's done, the hermit makes himself busy tidying up his house, leaving the knight and dog in slight privacy.

However, try as she might, she can't ignore a faint sound of whispering tickling at her ear.

Adele, Dagobert, Leufroy, Rashad, Shadi

Lady Ermeline laughs with joy at Sir Dagoberts' reaction to her presence, waiting for someone to assist her in getting off her horse. When she hears what the knight has to say, she wrinkles her nose in distaste. "If these woods are as dangerous as you say, and the robber knight was last seen nearby, would it not be best for me to stay with you until you can be certain you can escort me safely?"

Her handmaiden starts babbling about how angry the Lady's uncle will be at her sneaking out the way she did, but one stern look from Ermeline cuts her off.

"Going in the forest is foolish." Renier shakes his head in worry, "We are no Dagobert nor are we familiar with this area. But if Rosamund is in there..." He clenches his fist. They should have tried to stop her from going forward with her plan. Now who knows where or in what condition she's in? He pulls himself together and looks at the others.

"She's no weakling, and she has Hecate. We need to have faith in her and move on. We will be of no use to her or the villagers if we get ourselves lost. We should tell Sir Wulfram to keep an eye out and go to the hamlet he told us about. We may understand the wolf-knight better there. Your thoughts?"

Rosamund

Concentrating on the distracting murmuring, Sir Rosamund can make out her name among what mostly amounts to babbling excitedly in a language she doesn't recognize. Her intense focus draws the attention of the hermit, who clears his throat loudly in an effort to get her attention. "Er, you alright, Sir? You looked as though you were someplace else for a moment, there."

Renier, Ragnar, Coenwulf

Rosamund's squire is sent back to the hunting lodge to inform Sir Wulfram of the situation. Without her knight she will stay there so that the party is not burdened with extra horses and not enough hands.

About an hour out they approach the side track that leads up to the hamlet where they encounter a pilgrim.

He is resting on a fallen log by the wayside when he looks up at the sound of approaching horses. He responds by taking up his walking stick and satchel and knuckling his brow.

With a tug of a forelock he gives an unpracticed bow and calls out.

"Good sirs, might ypu spare alms for a pilgrim on the road to Liege?"

You are free to give as much or little as you like. If you give nothing you check selfish. If you give a solidus you can roll generous. If you succeed it gets a check.

Ragnar nods somberly.

"It seems the wisest course," he agrees.

My sheet appears to say I carry no money whatsoever. Is this correct?

Bachelor's from wealthy families have 10-11 solidi in pocket money for the year. Its largely in silver denarii with maybe a few gold solidus coins and another solidus worth in smaller change.

Ragnar grimaces - he personally feels that pilgrims should stay home and do something sensible instead of gallavanting around the world; God surely hears your prayers no matter where you are - but being stingy is hardly noble. Thus, he fishes a small coin out of his pouch and grudgingly hands it to the fellow.

Renier gives the pilgrim a solidus while cautioning him, "These lands are dangerous, my man. Strange wolves are about. Take care and get to a safe shelter at night."

Coenwulf offers the man several denarii. "Go, my friend. May god bless you on your journeys."

"Grace follow you, good sirs," the pilgrim says in thanks before heading off on his own way.

Free to continue once more the three knights pick up their pace as much as they can. The road here is more of a rough track and while it is largely free of stones and divots it winds and twists considerably to avoid hills, rocky outcrops and massive trees.

An hour or so later of the track winding beside the River Ourthe it takes a sharp turn away from the banks into dense woods and the group is left with the choice to either dismount and walk single file or to search for a better way.

If you want to find a more suitable path roll Hunting+5 (because this is your home county)
