Into the Wild

The four companions continued to travel northwest, guided by their newest member, Clemm. He moved easily through the trees, as is he did it every day.
Borri and the Elf handled the hike pretty well but the Dwarf struggled a bit. His short legs and heavy load making his journey a bit more difficult than the others.
He did not complain at all, in fact he trudged forward humming to himself.
Clemm stopped occasionally, looking about. He pocketed some plants or berries in his pouch which hung around his neck. Borri also drifted off the path a few times,
Placing herbs or berries in his small bag. He showed them both a plant that he called "Assurian" and that the leaves had a healing property." Nora will trade room and board for these." The Halfling added. The Dwarf looked surprised, but pocketed a few for himself with a chuckled.
Many hours passed and the sun moved across the sky, They had traveled
About six hours when Clemm stopped and walked back to the others.
" We won't make it to the River tonight, we should start looking for a campsite"
The old man huffed. " If you all moved faster weight have made it, but it will be dark in a few hours." He added. "I know a place not too far from here." He turned and walked northwest again.
