After a few minutes, Verna heads off to the quartermaster to collect supplies.  She returns some time later to lead the group to the city gates, where a group of horses and a wagon waited for them.  "Everything should be all set.  You'll find a few barrels of supplies, food and water, mostly.  The trip to Carthridge should take about four days.  Remember to meet with Cardinal Nadia as soon as you arrive, she should have further arrangements for you there."  Turning to Tess, she pulled a scroll out from a bag she was carrying.  "We were able to get this for you.  Two Sending spells.  Use them wisely," she warned, before sending them off.<br/><br/>The first day of travel seemed rather ordinary.  Several other people were traveling as well, on foot, on horses, or with large wagons full of merchant's supplies.  The next day, the group reached the main crossroads, where the path thinned to a much smaller road, though still large enough to let two carts pass without difficulty.  Unlike before however, this road seemed almost deathly silent, the group going the whole day without seeing more than half a dozen people.  After another night camping, they came to a large forest, though there was enough clearing to not cause difficulty; this road was obviously well-traveled, though it didn't seem as such now.<br/><br/>((Perception checks, everyone))
