The party settled into camp with Captain Herreman and his men, and Winry suggested they all play a game - two truths, one lie. Each member participated, and the companions learned more about each other. Here were their truths:
Bryn has a son named Keth who is 19, also parents and a brother and sister, is separated from her husband, and is 40 years old.
Jack can play 8 instruments, has 5 siblings, performed in a circus multiple times, and is 125 years old
Winry didn't pass the entry exam at the Monastery of the Two Winds, she can't roar, and loves to swim.
Rayland is double jointed (can pop his shoulder out of socket), and has been a footman for "The Ming" for a decade. He also didn't kill a man when he was 12 years old (can you imagine?)
Myetharia doesn't know how many cousins she has, can terribly play the piano, eats meat, and her last name is Faewarin.
And finally, Torrent has naturally white hair, trained under a druid, and has seen the Wayfairers perform a few times.
After a rest, the party separated from Captain Herreman, and made their way through a mountain pass, headed to the Fire Forest. While traveling, they were ambushed by more of the horse-head armband thugs, and a battle ensued. The violence mightily turned against the party, and things seemed quite dire. In the midst of the fight, a horseman escaped further down the pass, blaring his horn and warning other members of the gang that the party was on their way.
Struggling to keep the villains at bay, the party dug in their heels, and prepared to defend themselves against this onslaught of evil.
