13th January

The party breaks down their camp and heads out towards the town. Unfortunately, they lose their direction in the morning mist.

They notice this once they see the distinctly lion-shaped rock in the distance. Frustated and tired from walking through the swamp the five adventurers make their way there. They discuss for their options for a while, they could probably reach the town some time after nightfall if they performed a forced march. On the other hand, they would have to pass through wolf territory.

In the end they decide to do it, because they will have to cross that territory anyways.

A group of four giant dire wolves happens upon the party a little bit before night falls. The party runs and manages to reach the safety of town.

With yelling and the howls of the wolves behind them, they get the attention of the town guards. The guards shoot burning arrows to scare of the wolves.

The adventurers promise to buy them each a round of drinks in the inn, which the guards of course accept.

Exhausted from running for hours and pretty dirty from marching through the swamp, they reach the inn and collapse in their rented beds.
