The Road to the Well of Souls

Saying goodbye to the snow, ice and cold was the easiest part of their departure from Platara. The last battle that they faced in the Ice Spire still caused their bodies to ache as they bumped along towards the Well of Souls. The information that they had gathered from Lucile and the map was that it was located in a sunken forest, well a swamp really. But like the Ice spire it was apparently a place of interest, and the phantom of Andrasa that they had seen in the aftermath of the battle led them to believe that the wards there were also failing.
But for now they smiled at the fresh air and the distinct lack of chaos or impressing doom that was waiting to drag them down. For now the sounds of other travellers coming along with them to the Port town of Jandarl was refreshing. In the town they would have a choice, travel by sea on a merchant boat that stops at a few port towns along the way or travel by land which is a direct route to their destination. The ship is just as fast as a Sled and wagon due to the stops but gets out of the cold a little bit quicker.
Entering Jandarl they were greeted by friendly faces of Jardi and Hisha, both were trading with some locals near the docks. “So you made it. When we left camp we believed that we would see you again.” Jardi said with a smile. “I had a winter wolf visiting me and let me know you all were safe.”
“We can’t thank you enough for rescuing our people from those creatures in the ice caves. They spoke highly of your bravery and determination to save them.” Hisha added with a bow, “but once you do know where you are heading please let us know. We would like to pay your way to your next destination, wherever that is. It’s the least we can do.” Both Jardi and Hisha smiled warmly at the adventurers before ushering them to a tavern nearby.
Warm ale and food was quickly brought out and it wasn’t long until everyone knew of the conquests and actions of the party as they sat down and enjoyed a moment to rest.
Another decision for the party to make that will help shape their experience of the next leg of the journey. But don’t fret young DM as we do have ways to cater for a moment of sandbox thinking. As the saying goes, all roads lead to Rome, and I have implemented this approach many times. So don’t forget to come back each day this week and as always, don’t forget to roll with advantage,
