Cullen noticed the crowd outside of the Inn growing. This was a small town and it appeared that word traveled fast. The gathering herd of people made him uneasy. After the surprise attack, there was no way to guarantee another enemy wasn't circling outside as they gathered things to leave. Cullen pulled up the hood to his cloak and walked back through the Inn. He could hear the conversations between his teammates and the planning of which route to take. He walked over to the pile of bags and lifted one up securing it on his back along with his own belongings and weapons that were packed. "Too bad they couldn't conjure a portal that took us right to the top of the mountain," he commented in reply to the preparedness of the master with a grin, "But enchanted bags are the next best thing, eh?"<br/><br/>He spoke freely to everyone, "Not to alarm anyone but the crowd is gathering outside and there are more townspeople coming. The longer we stay here the riskier it gets." Cullen couldn't resist the urge to look over his shoulder to see if anyone from the outside was coming in. "The sooner we leave the safer."<br/><br/>Cullen turned toward Emrin, "I'm good with the proposal. Maybe over dinner, we can look at the route again. Alternate between city and mountains just to make it harder to track our movements. I feel like we have targets on our back." he turned towards Helena, "If you don't want to climb I'll carry you on my back." he shrugged knowing a route through the terrain was safer even if it was the less desired route.<br/><br/>"Now," he raised his brows and gave a nod, "Let's sneak out the back door and put some distance between this place and ourselves" He waited for replies before heading passed the bar, stopping for a quick moment to grab an unopened bottle of whiskey that sat toggling on the edge of the counter and then continued through the back door of the Inn that led to an empty street.<br/><br/>Cullen slightly tilted his shoulder forward shrugging the enchanted back up to slide the bottle into the supplies. It might not be an essential item but it had multi-uses and he was sure it would indeed get used at some point in the trip. Looking up into the sky he noted the shadow of the sun against the Earth. Mentally noting to himself that there was still plenty of daylight left for their travels to the next city. He was a little worried about exhaustion along the way. The adrenaline that was coursing throughout his body was calming. Leaving his muscle sore and achy. He pushed that aside. There was a task to complete and that was more important than the ache he was feeling at the moment.
