(Alrighty then.)

The group departed the tavern and was out of Aleswell in less than five minutes. From there, they needed only to follow the Red Ring Road northwest towards the Silver Road. While their travels through the Heartlands didn't seem like much, as nothing approached them other than an occasional stray wolf that drew close when it spotted them before it turned tail and fled, they could not help but feel as if they were being watched or followed. When they looked around, however, they didn't see anything or anyone tailing them. It put some of the mercenaries on edge, but with nothing showing itself, they ultimately had to dismiss it as the gently rolling hills and plains began turning into forests and rocky tors.

The forests proved a little more difficult to navigate, especially since the paths often wound up steep hills and sometimes the path wasn't easy to see, but with Ranwulf (who remarked that he would know how to get to Bruma blindfolded) leading the way, it wasn't much worse than their travels through the Heartlands. However, they still could not shake the feeling that they were being watched.

When the hills began growing even steeper and they reached the point where they could begin to see the massive Jeralls looming in the distance, their suspicions seemed to finally be confirmed. For the brieftest moment, Braum and Conall could see something moving amongst the forest before it disappeared into the underbrush. While he couldn't see it very clearly, he thought he saw it moving on four legs, but he couldn't be entirely certain.
