The Plan Unfolds

The group meets up in the Beholder and the Butcher to share what they have found out. Beckett is worried that the leader of the mysterious group doesn't like him. After talking to the outsiders in their camp, Eliwick is convinced they are harmless. They have stopped in Freystrand to gather supplies and rest before continuing their journey to Varenholm Peaks. The adventurers decided after much discussion to head to the mill and retrieve whatever portion of their wood order is complete. They will then plan to head back on the main road into town in an attempt to draw out the bandits. Having some rather intimidating looking members, they decide it would be best to hide some in the back of the wagon among the wood and to gather some cloaks to hide their armor if needed. Beckett heads to the see the Sherriff about borrowing some cloaks and returns with some plain traveling cloaks along with a new face. The group is introduced to Bash Underheel who is keen to join the adventure.

With their plan sorted the group heads to the mill. The owner is surprised to see them and immediately is concerned we have arrived too early and informs us the order is nowhere near complete. We convince him we are fine taking what they have finished thus far and will return in a few days for the remainder. The wood is stacked up to hide Kin and Bash inside the wagon. Eliwick grabs the reins as Beckett sits next to him leaving Amos and Rivvikyn to walk along the wagon. The group quickly realizes they are shit at geography and nowhere near far enough out of town to attract the bandits. Instead of wandering away from Freystrand in search of bandits, they decide to head back into town to gather more information.

Eliwick heads around asking merchants about where they were when the bandits ambushed them and pieces together there is a small path north of town heading into the mountains where the bandits are most likely to attack. Kin goes to investigate the robberies of the local food stores and finds out multiple cellars have been robbed of supplies.
