The journey ahead once the group had left the hamlet's remnants behind took a turn for the worse as a lightning bolt lit the skies in the distance, and by the dark clouds that were advancing, they would soon find themselves under a severe rain. Following the road didn't take too much work thankfully, but whoever ended up on the rider's seat would get practically soaked alongside anyone riding besides the wagons. The ones inside at least had the protection of the simple cloth stretched out over the two thin wooden archs.<br/><br/>The rain hammered them and the lightning above lit the terrain, but at the same time it made everything beyond a short distance seem like blurred shadows. Still, the path was easy enough to follow until they reached the crossroads between the path to the forest and the path around. They'd have to make their call, on one hand the forest would offer some shelter from the rain but their sight was already limited in the rain, going around the woods would take a little longer but avoid any trouble that might be waiting in there. Either way, once they'd be past the forest it would be a relatively short run to the Kalem-Vor in the hills. Yet the woody hills were not particularily welcoming, the large trees towering high, offering some shelter but a lot more of shade.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Survival Check results for Tracks</div><div class="spoiler_body">The hamlet had simple, hard-packed dirt roads that didn't help with getting any clear tracks, but by the looks of them the orcs went from an x-marked house to another, until another set of tracks came from one of the buildings. Based on the impressions, the person must have been swift on their feet. <br/><br/>Crossing the distance in a straight line, the tracks ended roughly between the orcs, the two orcs having fallen besides the tracks. Those same footprints then made a direct line to the old road they too were travelling on, but the tracks were lost there. Any that might have remained the rain was sure to ruin.</div></div>
