On The Road Again

After dinner, everyone settled in for an early night, prepared to get as much sleep as they could before the long bus ride ahead. 

The borders weren't the only dangerous areas, and some of the areas that they had to pass through had recent monster incursions. They were at the Common and Awakened level, but that didn't really matter if they had damaged the roads, or attacked the buses before the passengers could stop them.

The plan was for the buses to keep moving constantly until they arrived, and lunches had been packed for everyone, while dinner would be made on the bus, should they still be moving at that time.

Given that the roads were previously soft dirt for much of the last portion toward the border, Karl didn't have high hopes that they would actually get there in one day, but he might get to let Thor out to help pull a bus convoy.

A little extra traction was all that they usually needed, and Thor could provide that for them.
