Milos ordered you to. It was in your route.

Edit: To clarify, it was the westernmost edge of the forest, along the river.

@Not Fishing
Oh I thought it was skirting the forest at a point to see the density

We are going through the edge of the forest to get an idea of it. My point was that we'd be easy to pop off on horseback and the mounts could bolt in a surprise attack, so best to walk through the worse areas.

Also if the woods are dense we would struggle to bring horses through.... Editing my post now

@AndreyichIf you leave a man to watch the horses, as I imagine you would, they are unlikely to bolt. Their Dragoon horses. You should be practicing shooting their heads while in the saddle. Have some faith in they noble steed sah!

Once the Omadon reached the bridge and Nizar split off Nyon kicked his horse into a trot and continued down the road. While traveling Von Nyon took mental notes on what he sees down to the ditches by the side of the path. As Nyon passed houses he checked for signs of life to note if there is occupants of the possible "strong holds" When Nyon reached the forest he followed his NCO's idea and dismounted for that portion of the route.

Nyon finally got where the two patrol paths intersect but did not see Konyk. The horses did require a rest and so Nyon had his Omadon dismount, seek cover under a tree and stay in a half alert posture.(one man rests while the other watches) Nyon waited till the horses were fresh, then took off at a higher tempo than before to make up for lost time.

@VoiDSo I see from the front page that this RP is open to new folks. I just wanted to check that was still the case. I thought this looked really cool but didn't have time to work on a CS before it started up.

@AndreyichI feel like you're rushing things... We only just got sent out to patrol and you're back already? Maybe the GM had an enemy encounter in mind?
