<p>The night goes otherwise uneventful; Watches set have no trouble, and the drizzle stays throughout the night only to be broken up by the sunrise, as if Gwynn himself decreed it to be so.</p>
<p>Your group finds itself on the second day of their journey, this time pestered by the flies and mosquitos that came out on the humid air. Soon enough, you come across the part where your old path starts to diverge, and not a moment too soon; for further along the road lies the way to the bridge the drake sacked. This route is supposed to take you north along the river a few days before crossing at a nearby church.</p>
