It is approaching 4 PM when the group finishes shopping, reading, eating, and is gathered again to head south. The Gold Road is far more trafficked than anywhere else you've journeyed thusfar and there is a steady stream of people coming and going. It is also an actual road, about 50' wide, well paved and maintained, and as such is much easier to journey on, though your pace is slowed due to the traffic. You aren't entirely certain how far you get exactly, but feel like you're making good time.

A pickpocket. Clearly an amateur. It was foolish of him to try to steal from his group. Zeiss could teach him a few tricks, but he didn't have the time nor the desire. Still, he could not let that young man continue with his plan.

He decided not to tell anyone. If that Orc succeded in his endeavor, he would take back (discreetly) what he stole. If he could not do it, he would tell the others and they would rough him up. Simple.

Zeiss:
The Orc is not that skilled, but manages to snag several gold from Sethos, Caladrius, and Kezrinthka each in turn as he makes his way down the line. Zeiss, shaking his head slightly, bumps into the lad and apologizes quietly before continuing on, glancing down. The kid had only stolen about 30g, 10 from each.

Thirty pieces of gold wasn't much. Usually, he would keep it. But now, he wanted to learn from his newfound colleagues. It would be a good idea to earn some trust from them : that could save him one day. So this is why he walked up to the pickpocket's victims and gave them their gold back. He then explained :

"You should be careful. An Orc just took that from you."

*As they walk Kezrin turns to the others and explains her findings for the day.*

"I went to the library today to see if I could learn something about that rune that was controling the abomination. I could find no refernce of any successful experiments. In fact there is a detailed history of many such experiements, and ALL to this day have failed. No creature with a soul can be controled with such a rune... or I should say no creature with a soul could be controled by it. "

*here she pauses as the rogue walks up to her clearly trying to give her something... gold?!?! why is he she listens as the elf explains why he's giving it to her hmm it seems I must be more aware of my surroundings. it has been a while since I fell victim to such an attack continuing*

"I believe that creature was created, much like a golem would have been, and that the rune somehow acted both as control and link between it and the elven woman, thus giving it some amount of sentience."

Snarg looks at the Olthoi as she finishes and cocks his head to the side in a confused way.

"How do ya turn the pages? Them library people must hate ya usin' them books." he says, gesturing at the claws.

With the incident behind you the rest of the journey is uneventful. You keep traveling past sunset, with Magicite lanterns lighting the edges of the Road allowing you plenty of light. To your amusement the traffic does not die down at all, but there is still the same steady stream of people in all directions, heading north or south.

After several more hours, your group is quite exhausted, having spent over half of today in the morning and evening traveling. Fortunately there is one of the rest Camps up ahead, and after a quick 5g per person fee the group is given an allotted spot and allowed to rest for the night. There are a fair number of guards with lanterns and Steel armor and weapons patrolling the area frequently, all of whom look like formal Naverre soldiers. The campsite is quite huge, and you have plenty of room to rest your wagon and set up multiple tents for each person.

They finally stopped to rest. Zeiss started a litte fire and sat beside it.

"I will take the first watch."

He opened his sack to get some food, water and his journal. In which he would write.

Snarg begins building a campfire and setting up some metal on top in a grill-like pattern. "Snarg'll take watch first too. Always better havin' two."

By the time the first watch is done the sky is already starting to lighten as the sun slowly makes its way towards the horizon. The fee you paid allows you to stay until the next sunset if you choose to keep resting for a while longer.

As light slowly begins to enter the camp you become aware of an incredible smell. Several troops, in uniform but neither armored nor armed, are roasting something over an open pit in the center of the camp. You vaguely recall someone mentioning that the food was free, first come first serve, to those who sought it. From here it smells like some sort of boar, with honey and figs, pears, and apricots being glazed and cooked into the meat, and there is a small area nearby the fire pit with tables and chairs, and two decently sized bowls of salad and fruit being prepared as well.

*kezrinthka stops with her right hind claw at Tabran's shoulder in mid nudge and sniffs the air. Before anyone can blink the Olthoi is several yards away dashing off toward the smell at full speed, not going after the food but to grab the cook and find out his recipe. She comes to a sliding halt in front of one of the soldiers, not out of breath in the least.*

"If you would not mind could you point me to the person in charge of this meal. I wish to speak with them."

*Afterward she snags a bite.*

After waiting a few moments for the groggy feeling to pass, Rory heads toward the smell of meat and takes an ample serving of boar, adding fruit and some salad to his plate. He knocks back a glass of his elderberry wine upon finishing, and seeks out a member of the rest stop.

"If the food is free for travelers who stay for a measly 5 gold, surely there must be an abundance of game?" he asked.

The smell was tempting. But Zeiss was too tired and had already eaten his ration. He went in the wagon to rest. Snarg's snoring was irriting. So was his smell. That wasn't tempting at all. But he would put up with it.

He fell asleep in less than two minutes.

Kolson sits bolt upright, still wearing his hat on his face, sniffing the air. "Foop?" he says, muffled by the hat.

Righting it on his head, he stood up and followed after Kez at top speed. "Wait up, Miss Kez!"

He joins her, and begins eating ravenously. "So good..."

Rory:
One of the soldiers who is helping serve various travelers and merchants nods at you. "If you head west about 3 miles you'll find plenty of wild boar, pheasant, and wild herbs. It's a bit of a trip, but we don't mind making it every day. After all," he grins, "Why bother eating rations when you can eat real food?" At this he gets himself a plate of boar as well and sits at the table to enjoy.
