Morning came and did another great breakfast, this would be something missed. It has been 2 years since the last time Krono had spent a long period of time on the road and that was an unforgettable experience.

Heading into town confirming all would be ready for the last pickup and to pay for all the goods. Also spoke to each manager of the breweries with the news of future contact for trade talks with one of the great dwarven houses. All managers promised a great life commission if trade was established, that alone would make for a great income for future projects. 

Knowing that his equipment was a tad worn he decided to trade in his old bow for aome credit to get a a new bow, a Yew wooden bow. This is the tyoe of bow he had wanted for some time that he would be able to afford. Due its cost insted of changing his sabre, he got a sturdy long dagger of iron. He felt confident with this. 

He returned home to finish packing and make sure he would have everything needed if he had to travel back solo. Feeling comfortable and later in the day he went to see his mother to talk about the trip and hope to see his father come back from work. They had spoken in the morning about making the needed room for the wagons to come in and pick up the last goods, yet he wanted to say a proper good byebefore the trip.

After an early dinner, he said his goodbyes and headed back. To The Shepherd
Kimberly
Rawntha was waiting at the Shepherd, with a map of Hearthstead unrolled on the table in front of him. He was studying it, wondering which direction they were going to take. After pleasantries, he would ask Kro where he thought his giant friend was, and what route he would recommend. Rawn was hoping it would be a fairly direct trip, but also knew that Kro had said that he thought, he knew where one of the giants were. 

Bik and Bek would not be joining the party tonight. They were busy back at the camp, making sure everything was ready for the morning roll out.

Rawn also wanted to talk with Jeri and Lucile. He had made sure there was a cart with room for any personal supplies the pair may want to bring along. Also, he wanted to let them know that a dwarf named Ulfrig would be giving them lessons on dwarven scouting tactics, as well as combat. Rawntha would introduce them first thing in the morning. Training for the scouts would begin immediately upon setting out. Ulfrig would be teaching them what to look for,, what to notice is there... Or isn't but should be. The travel time would be a perfect introduction to the craft.

"I hope we can find him here where the Southern End. We will start to signal when getting close." Pointing this finger to the map then he slides to another point. "If not we will have to go out our way to try at this valley"
Kimberly
"It would be best if we could find him before heading west into the valley. However, we don't really have any say in where he is now do we? Well then master merchant
Goldie
"The road will help most the way. We will have to trevel into the valley for about a day. I would say 7 to 8 day but this large caravan may add 2 more days there. Tonight however we can still get a nice ale dinner today."
Kimberly
"That sounds reasonable" The dwarf responded. 
And with a grin, "To Ale and to Dinner!"
