The first half of the journey was relatively uneventful, though progress was much slower than planned. After slightly more than a full week, the party was just crossing the Nentir River, the half-way point of their journey to Winterhaven. Things went downhill from there...
Day 2 - Arrive at the edge of Harken Forest
Day 4 - Emerge from Harken Forest
Day 6 - Stay overnight in Fallcrest
Day 7 - Crossing of the Nentir River
Day 9 - Light rains begin
Day 11 - Heavy storms
Day 12 - Heavy storms, mudslides hamper progress
Day 13 - Heavy storms, slow going
Day 14 - Wrong turn towards Gardmore Abbey
Day 15 - Double back towards King's Road
Day 16 - Back on the right path towards Winterhaven
Day 17 - First attack by small band of Kobolds. Scared off with no combat, due to being outnumbered.
Day 18 - Wolves invade camp. Stuck in a tree for a day and a half.
DM Note: None of this played out. I simply filled these events in on the campaign calendar, and related them at the table in order to deflate character egos, and introduce a feeling of exhaustion, frustration, and aggravation towards Paget. There was some eye-rolling, grumbling, and giggling from M, Z and X, so it worked well.
Incidentally, the Cairngorns are a real place. Check out this panoramic picture! (Click the thumbnail to enlarge... at least, as much as Blogger will allow.)
