Game Day 2
///////
Dillosel and Katten move silently into the woods ahead, almost disappearing from sight of the others. Indendien takes the lead for the group, seemingly able to follow the Wild Elf and Ranger without any trouble. The small folk remain quiet and observant. As they get some small distance from the glade, an almost-forgotten sense of contentment lessens. The residual comfort of their time there still lingers, but it is akin to the fading warmth of having basked in sunlight before returning to the shade. A strange shiver comes over Nocturno and Elden, as they realize they may never see the beautific place again without the aid of others…
As the group moves southeast, they cross the old road. The wide dirt lane had once been used frequently… so they had heard. It had never been so in their lifetimes, or at least as far back as Nocturno could recall... perhaps it had been so when he was young. Jordek recalls it being in much better repair when he crossed it to find his hermitage nearly a century ago.
It was broad enough for two wagons to pass… at least it would have been had nature not been re-taking the edges one branch at a time… Now the canopy high overhead fully covered the one-time thoroughfare. Far to the south the road wound, dozens of miles, lay Bordertown. Northward the path continued to a place all too familiar to the group, The Bridge.
Eastward for hundreds of miles stretched the Fenris forest. A chill courses down Jordek’s spine as he realizes he is moving closer to the place he had avoided for so many many decades. Though he knew it was dozens of miles off yet, the sensation still struck him.
The group plunges on into the woodlands, the scouts making good time in the familiar territory. Suddenly Katten feels the familiar Shiver that tells her she has returned to her home… her very own patch of life in this wild place. The scouts slow and the group catches up as a clearly feminine voice calls out, from somewhere far ahead. I see you have returned, my friend. It says. Briefly Katten catches the aroma of moss and the faint hint of flowers in bloom.

Nocturno, if you want to take up RP for Rivi’s char for now that works for me.
Jordek actually knows where the glade is from his conversations with Signa over the years, and might be able to figure out how to enter without the Key from various clues if he can recall them (wisdom check)
Katten recognizes the voice as Ataya’s.
