A Odd Mission

To keep a record of this odd mission, I've decided to write down my observations during it. First off this is a protection mission with keeping a young boy called Xarter alive to his destination with no clear time limit. During my acquisition of supplies for Dameon’s crew, I got a map to make sure I knew the way there, additionally I've concluded if there was any opposition, the most likely point of an ambush is this point here. (With crude drawing of the trail near the Mt.)
 
For the most part the first leg of the journey was relatively smooth, not that Xavier was much help. The first kind of a bump was a dust devil forming miles out, that only through my superior scouting capabilities and excellent handling of the caravans, passed by us with no harm.
 
We stopped for a few to the Garnox under control, they are not accustomed to traversing natural storms that close as we were. Learned that Xena can actually handle animals and even help us out in taking care of them. It was at that point Xarter saw the sign about a nearby village and it has some dumb rock that can stop old world artifacts from working if near it. So naturally like any kid he wanted to see this rock.
 
Along the way to it, we got slowed down by four monks and their demands for food for their cult. Only through my draconic gifts did I discover that it was instead an attractive large spider. I don't know if I should be concerned that I'm attracted to her or not, but at the end of the day Xena convinced her to work for her city rather than being forced to beg or trap potential citizens out here, so I can cross that issue at a later date.
