Longstep had perked up briefly not long prier to Elandris' statement, having caught wind of the nearby river.  The warhorse was well versed to long days of travel with few breaks but even he tired eventually and a long drink from the river would not go amiss.<br/><br/>Karrlandren, like any Knight of the Dawn that had fought at Alganiase Ford, were not fond of such things and while they did not avoid them in their travels, he at least would push on a few hours past before setting camp.  But, he was not well versed in the region, and there was a chance of Orcs being about making traveling in the dark an unwise option.<br/><br/>"Agreed.  As I understand it, there are hunters cabins scattered about the woods, although after tomorrow we are not likely to find any more.  Should be well stocked should we need anything on the return trip."  An important lesson learned during the war.  A small force could not carry all the supplies they might need, so it was always advisable to know where such things could be found.  Doubly important to deny such supplies from an invading enemy.  Should the Orc threat prove immediate and aimed for Billian's Rest, it would be a simple thing to set fire to those cabins.  The smoke would also help chase off any game animals.
