Strike Out For Fortune

After a night spent safely tucked within the Mithril Docks encampment, the adventurers rose at first light on the 37th day of Springwise to gather with the entire camp around Skiff, the company's steward.
Skiff announced that the groups were tasked with scouting the area surrounding the camp and finding signs of a village rumored to be nearby. Skiff warned that the groups must return with a report in no later than one month or be considered deserters, a crime punishable by death.
Cautioned by a grateful prisoner the night before, the adventuring company of Morvil, Asrack, Anduin and Milren struck out on the western trail, leaving the orcish party and their elven prisoner to head north.
The first days of travel over the low lying grasslands turned out to be uneventful except for the flash storm that washed out the party's camp the first night. The fortunes of the party began to turn toward favor as Asrack found a trail to a river bank. The party returned to camp, deciding to take up following the trail of the river further west the next morning. Unfortunately, Morvil slipped in his diligence keeping watch while the others slept.
A wild boar crashed into the camp, gouging the dwarf before he could raise a defense. The ruckus roused the peddler's companions and luckily, they were able to down the beast before more damage could be done.
As dawn breaks on Sunday the 39th, the adventurers gather their meager belongings to head back out to the trail.
