I imagine Aerynnel is going to be traveling along the road on foot when she meets up with the others. She doesn't come out of the forests much, but there is something on the wind that isn't "right," tiny whispers of impending doom, makes her uneasy (perhaps she's having nightmares, maybe there are stories the animals are telling her) which drives her out of her sanctuary. She's off in search of a reason or some relief. I don't know what would drive her to join the others, but she can be convinced to travel with them if she feels it is necessary, especially if they are going the same way.<br/><br/>A point of interest would be good. The dead body was a nice idea, or signs of a struggle perhaps from a previous ambush? Which puts us all in the right place at the right time for another ambush. ^_^ Aerynnel would of course have to defend herself, and it's possible she would help the others. Nothing like danger to bring people together.
