The duo (Arcata and Ironheart) agree to continue forward togetether for now at least. Ironheart is still trying to figure out the disappearance of the Living Isle while they walk. It is not terribly long before they spot a good size fort on the horizon just as the sun hits its zenith.

You spot a group of 4 carrying a large giant of a man on a litter moving towards the fort. They are heavily armed, much like yourselves. It's somewhat difficult to make out their appearance from this distance, but they are definitely all humanoid. [/sblock]
The group pushes forward, slowed somewhat by having to carry the large bulk of their sickened ally.

As you're moving towards Oleg's you spot a truly odd pair about 20 minutes away to the south. One looks like a living tree, carrying a large poleaxe in its "branches". The other is carrying a staff, a human woman by the looks of it. [/sblock]
