Getting started

When everyone had a grip on their respective luggage, Alexis began to lead her small troupe into the jungle, following Tarmen’s markings.

She took her time, giving her scout some leeway to properly get a lay of the land and also taking care that they didn’t cause more trails to cover up than strictly necessary.

Besides, this was a jungle. Plenty of dangers to be wary about even without murderous natives.

Alexis subtly watched her team, trying get an inclination how well acquainted they were with situations such as this. They weren’t soldiers, but there was
no need to patronise them if they knew what to do.

The hike didn’t take all that long as Tarmen seemed to have found a good spot pretty close by.

Alexis looked around appraisingly, nodding at her second in command.

“Good job.”

Turning around she addressed everyone.

“Alright, we’ll set up camp here for now. Remember, don’t get too cozy. Day’s still young, so we might as well get some work done.”

She went to work, giving orders and assistance if and when needed. Once the camp was up, she gathered her team around.

“So. Fortifications. You two…”

nodding at Tarmen and Hunter

“…can set up traps as Tarmen suggested, get an idea of our immediate surroundings while you’re at it. Leave the path back to the beach for now. That ship wreck is still close, we should get it of the list right away. Apotechary you’re most likely to get a read on that thing, you’ll come with me and check it out.
What about you, Arbiter? Ye think you might get something out of that wreck? Otherwise I’d like you to settle in further here, put up wards while Till sets up camp.”
