"Lillian is probably one of the few that isn't concerned about marriage and family," Ladonna says.

"Oh, right," Liala says. "But isn't that why nobody knows who you are? You have no family at all, right? I can't imagine growing up so alone. Didn't you like live in an inn room for most of your life?"

"Oh, right," Liala says. "But isn't that why nobody knows who you are? You have no family at all, right? I can't imagine growing up so alone. Didn't you like live in an inn room for most of your life?" “That is true,” Lillian replies. She speaks no further on the subject. |

"And she apparently wants to keep it that way," Ladonna notes as Lillian gets quiet.

After a full day of walking along the road, they find that they are only about half-way to the Sunwoods at this point. So they have to make camp just off the road. Once the camp is set up and everyone has had something to eat, Ingot speaks up. "What sort of...watch should we...set up?"

"I can take the first watch," Ladonna offers.

"By yourself?" Liala asks. "There are six of us, so that should be enough for two people per watch, for three watches."

"My father can join me, then Lillian and Finbul, and finally you and Ignot," Ladonna says.

“I have no objections,” Lillian says.

The night passes without incident. The following morning, they set out again. They travel for the whole day and finally make it into the Sunwoods, but don't make it to the warden's cabin yet, despite the trip only being fifty miles. But Finbul's slow pace ensures they will have to camp again that night.
On the morning of the day after that, though, they finally reach the cabin. Lillian, who did not think to bring any rations, feels weak with hunger by this point. Everyone else, however, is in good spirits and Jonas' injury seems to be healing well.
The weather is nice and plenty of sun shines through the canopy, hence the forest's name. Not too long after breaking camp, they spot a cabin just off the road. It would appear, at long last, they have reached their destination.
==========
It is now Dymin 28th at 10 in the morning.
I've set the watch order below. This will be the default for this chapter unless someone specifies otherwise:
Watch Order (3 hrs each)
Ladonna and Jonas
Lillian and Finbul
Ingot and Liala
Jonas is now lightly wounded.
Lillian is suffering from hunger. She now suffers a -1 to attack and saving throws.

"That must be it," Ladonna says as she approaches the cabin.

"Stay on your guard, though," Jonas warns. "This is a forest warden, so he might be a little..." Although he does not finish the sentence, he does make a twirling gesture next to his head. "What do you mean?" Liala asks. "Think about it. He spends everyday watching over the Sunwoods, far away from civilization. Sometimes he may go months without speaking to another person. That'd make anyone a few swords short of an armory," Jonas explains. Ladonna, the party tailing her, approaches the cabin. It's quite rustic and simple in design, and fairly small--maybe one room meant for a single person. The door is simple wood. There are no windows whatsoever, or any other means of letting light inside.  |

"This place could use some windows," Ladonna comments quietly before she knocks on the door. "Hello? Anyone home?"

“Whoever built it probably didn’t want people seeing inside,” Lillian suggests.

After a long wait, they hear several bolts and locks being undone, before the door opens only a crack. It is completely dark inside, and the man within stands in the shadows to avoid being seen. "Who is it? What do you want?" he asks in Tardish with a Ruaran accent.
