Into the Woods

Miscellaneous

With Jurita in tow, the group decides to leave the path and head off road in order to better follow the map they have.

The group continues on their journey, taking their new companion with them. Eventually they realize that if they are to keep following the map exactly they will need to leave the road and head towards an abandoned church Darren knows of. After some deliberation they decide to leave their cart on the side of the road but take the remaining Ox with them through the woods towards the abandoned church. The woods prove to be smaller than they imagined and soon they find themselves on an open grassland with a few copses of trees scattering the landscape. As the sun begins to set they notice what appears to be a large bird off in the distance. The following day they spot the creature again and, that night, decide it's better to be safe than sorry, and make camp in one of the copses to stay hidden.

During the night they are attacked by a pair of Griffons looking for an easy meal. The battle is short and one of the Griffons is slain while the other flies away with severe wounds. The group collect a few trophies from the fallen Griffon and return to their beds intent on making it to the abandoned church the following day.
