Backstory 4: Friendly Advice

Grynn once again headed south. She stayed a night with Acaer and told him she was going walk-about. He suggested she might pick-up some extra cash escorting other travellers, and that she might get taken more seriously disguised as a man. Grynn trusted Acaer, and knew he had good advice. So she went to the market to buy some rugged men's clothes that would fit her without be revealing, and a long strip of soft cloth to pack down what little cleavage she did have. When she came back, Acaer didn't recognize her until snort sniffed her out. "Well young man, all you need now is a good cap to keep some of that hair under!" Acaer said as he handed Grynn a loose cap with a small brim that was a style many of the local shepherds favored. Grynn stayed another night and was gone before dawn, leaving three gold coins in his Acaer's boot as thanks and farewell.

Grynn liked the idea of being an escort, a protector, and the best way to do that was to learn from the Rangers at Fort Arrowglance. Which was many days ride to the east, and she had no mount so it would take weeks. She hired a wagon to Innablith which was the closest major city to the Ranger's forest fortress deep in The Chondalwood.
