"Good, seems like you all agree. Now as for how the mission will be run..." Pelaros then explain the protocols for the mission, at least on the macro scale. They will set out right after the meeting to the cliff edge between the city and the forest. There they will rest for the night and then set out at dawn to the Pyknos fort, where they will be briefed again and the cleric would join their party.
From there they will go into the forest to explore, after having been briefed on the monsters and undead common in the area. They are to return each day to the fort until they get familiar with the area around the fort, then they can start delving deeper. Each time taking their time to get used to the forest and what they should expect.
