His gaze shifts back and forth, scanning the streets for any signs of the shadow creature he’s been charged with defeating. “Gods, what am I doing…”   He thinks to himself as he continues moving towards the town square. He looks to the sky and sees Strieg making tight circles overhead a short distance off. From their many years training together, Valryc knows this signals danger ahead. “Well nothing to do now but face the damned thing.”   He tightens his grip on his sturdy bastard sword and continues moving until he finally makes it to the edge of the town square. He spots the thing well before though, a hulking figure standing at least 8 feet ...

A small village tucked between the river winding its way towards Wrennsfall and a dense forest that covers the western fields. “Surely they’ll have a horse that I could borrow for the rest of the journey. At least some food to replenish my stocks for the remainder of my journey. Its still some days before I will reach Wrennsfall on foot, but luck ...

He still gingerly places his foot down, as his ankle still throbs with a low ache from the sprain yesterday. The ointment he used would ease the pain, but it would not heal the injury overnight. He grips his walking stick to steady himself as he makes his way on, more slowly than he started yesterday. More caution. More awareness.Yet still he finds there is a feeling of peace on this journey, even with all that has happened and all that he still must do. The silence is broken only by the sounds of the forest. No one else is around, a blessing he doubly counts as he continues to keep his eyes peeled f...

He has spent some time there, though it felt as if he had spent far more time than seems to have passed. With all the newly acquired information making his head buzz, he took a deep breath and whistled up towards the trees. A few moments later, Strieg’s form flaps through the tree branches and comes to rest on Valryc’s outstretched arm. “We’re heading home now Strieg. I’ll need your eyes to be mine on this journey. There are definitely Shadiri between us and Wrennsfall. I need you to help me spot them before we stumble right into the back of an entire troop”  With that he makes a circular motion with his finger pointed towards the sky and then points in the direction he intends ...

In the early morning sun, he quickly pulls out some rations and breaks down his small camp after eating. “I have no plan on staying here another night. I’ll need to make my search quickly and begin the trek back to Wrennsfall” He thinks to himself as he works. He begins studying the surrounding area more closely, looking for any signs of recent activity in the area.
