[March]

(The group is leaving right now.)

[Naturegirl1999]

(Oh, in that case we should go with them for now

[March]

You follow along quietly out of town towards the treeline making a turn leftward and following it for several hours, to the point of nearly most of the day (about 9 hours of forced marching) away from the fields and past many hills till you see what looks like a ridge of land off in the distance.
Makdt tells you, "That's the lesser Midland ridge, a natural barrier that separates the Unland provence from the Midland provinces."
At the far Pas side of the ridge you can see a dilapidated structure you recognize as the brigand occupied fort.
While there does seem to be a pack animal to carry food provisions, there doesn't seem to be any equipment for making camp, you expect the temple clerics intend to take the fort and occupy there through the night.
Hedra addresses the traveling people, "We shall make for the foot of the Ridge and have a short rest, then scale it and begin our assault."
It doesn't take long to reach the foot of the ridge, (1 hour) and with everyone tired from the trip everyone collectively begins a short rest.
(would you like to do anything in the time before the assault?)

Er, that weapon box isn't still around is it? Now we've some weapon proficiencies, we could actually do with a nice maul or greatsword...

[March]

(I'll allow some retcon and say yeah you picked out a weapon because they definitely wouldn't lug a box of weapons across the countryside, so what kind of weapon would you like? it may or may not be better or worse than just using your fists)

[Superdorf]

Excellent! Let's say we grabbed a good hefty maul. Try it on a tree, see how it compares to our fists...
The damage dice should be better, assuming our fistwork hasn't improved since last time-- but you never know!

[March]

You try your loaned wooden maul on a tree to get a feel for it; (16+2hits, 6 bludgeoning), (7+2misses), (15+2hits, 12 bludgeoning), (4+2misses), (20+2crits 23 bludgeoning), (11+2misses), (14+2hits, 9 bludgeoning), (14+2 hits, 10 bludgeoning)...

You've learned two things from this, this maul is surprisingly useful for something that seems like a glorified branch (4d3+1 maul) and trees are no pushovers, the tree looks like your beating had nearly no effect on it's smooth green bark.

(would you like to do anything else during this short rest?)

[Naturegirl1999]

We were able to track Rolio's soul, I wonder if we can track Ungas's soul in a similar way? or does it only work with souls we've...preyed on?

Try this now

[March]

You attempt to locate the soul of Ungas; you fail because you don't have the necessary reagent to find that soul.

(would you like to do any final actions before the end of the short rest and the beginning of the assault?)

[Superdorf]

Nothing comes to mind.

You do nothing else for the remainder of the short rest, the assault begins in earnest when Aviial makes the announcement, "Now's the time, that I Aviial shall lead you forth to glory, onward and upward!"
Everyone begins the tedious scaling of the wall like ridge.
You look up at the ridge a two story tall difficult & rocky slope.
(would you like to attempt to scale the ridge?)

[Naturegirl1999]

try to scale the ridge

Rollo's got a nice strong husk, so we should have a decent shot at this... and it seems everyone else is climbing anyhoo. Up, up and away!
