Kildea shook her head 'no' at Kaihel.<b><span style="color: Red">"Thank you, but I'm good for now.  I have a few other matters to attend to before heading North myself.  I may be increasing my distance from the royal family to lend aid where it's needed more urgently.  I wish you all safe travels."</span></b>With a smile and a wave the warrior girl left the group to speak with the village elder about matters pertaining to their town's relations with Hyrule Castle, a veritable city itself.<br/><br/>The evening came and went with the adventurers dealing with their own tasks.  Rumsey showing some of the farm hands how to use a pitchfork like a spear amongst them.  Even with training it gave the heroes a full night of rest and recuperation.  Some well deserved downtime before their journey began anew!  The following morning held time for Calypso's self proclaimed babysitter to return for a brief farewell and sendoff, the cook gave the heroes each a loaf of bread for the road.  The look in his eyes conveyed he did not expect to see them again...<br/><br/>Once on the trek the next day they found a trail Kildea had tipped them off about that was less traveled but more direct.  Grown over by grass in several places, it was more or less a dirt worn path trampled into the wild grassy landscape.  As they passed the more mountainous terrain there were several rock formations to pass.  Something to break up the scenery mostly.  Or provide quick shelter against storms or other traveling inconveniences.  It was amongst these stone outcroppings that the heroes spied a group of octorok below a hill they peaked.  The creatures were an evil breed that had come with the invaders.  Much like those Calypso had tried to thwart, now here were another example.  Slowly roving together with a pack like mentality their short tentacles carried them across the grass in a seemingly random direction.  The heroes could either try to go around them, or through them on their way to Darunia!<br/><img alt="[​IMG]" class="bbCodeImage LbImage" data-url="http://hdwpics.com/images/0D9E5521188D/Rock-Formation-at-Sunset.jpg" src="http://hdwpics.com/images/0D9E5521188D/Rock-Formation-at-Sunset.jpg" style=""/><br/><img alt="[​IMG]" class="bbCodeImage LbImage" data-url="http://snipehuntmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2012/01/zKU9W.jpg" src="http://snipehuntmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2012/01/zKU9W.jpg" style=""/><br/><br/><div class="ToggleTriggerAnchor bbCodeSpoilerContainer">

As for the rest, you're not forced into a group for this, you can individually choose to fight or veer away.  Those who wish to fight should roll initiative, those who wish to pass by and head straight for town may make a skill check to do so without drawing attention to themselves!<br/>
