The trail is passing through wooded hills, but is keeping to the lowlands between them, making the going easier for the carts.

On Fireseek 5, 567 CY

The day was cold, overcast, and a biting wind cut through the travelers’ cloaks as they made their way along the muddy road toward Hommlet. The road was flanked by dense woods on one side and a meandering hills on the other. The tranquility of the journey was broken only by the rhythmic clatter of wagon wheels and the occasional lowing of oxen.

As the caravan approached a narrow, winding section of the road, the dense woods seemed to close in, casting long shadows. A man stepped out blocking the road, “Surrender, in the name of the Abbey!!!”

The group chooses not to surrender.

After the unexpected resistance, the bandit leader orders a retreat, jumping on horses to escape.

By the time the mist cleared and the dust settled, three ox cart drivers lay dead, and two bandits from the Abbey of the Elemental God of Water had been killed. The surviving members of the caravan were left shaken and wary as they continued their journey to Hommlet, now fully aware that they were not the only travelers on these treacherous roads.

The bandits have the garb of The Elemental Water God
