Out in a snowy forest deep in Snezhnaya, far from the kresnik torches reach that the group carries mini kresnik heaters to stop from freezing, an expedition led by her Majesty the Tsaritsa herself with everyone involved being hand picked by the occasion. Each person having their own skills to give.

Of course first and foremost her harbingers were here, Pierro, Arlecchino, Sandrone, Pulcinella, Pantalone and Tartaglia, then the two people closest to her, Vesna the leader of the druzhna and Danica her head maid. Of course there were a few others beyond this, including Mitya, Alyosha, Valeriy, Odette, Vodyanitsa and of course, you..

Night was settling in and Pierro began setting up a portable stove as the Tsaritsa stopped, gesturing that this clearing was perfect to rest for the night as everyone stopped to settle down, the first night of this expedition.

Vesna: "I'll scout the Area and make sure we're in the clear for the night, your Majesty"

Tartaglia: "In that case I'll come too, I've been itching to fight something for a while."

The two depart to scout the surrounding area while everyone else remains.

Tsaritsa: "Danica, why don't you help Pantalone, he looks as if he's struggling with those tent poles."

She speaks quietly to Danica who nods moving to help Pantalone.

Pantalone: "I can assure, I do not need assistance." He insisted.

Pulcinella: "By the state of our tent, I'd strongly disagree."

Alyosha: "I'll hunt some game so we can eat tonight." With a nod Alyosha departs.

The group quiets down a bit as everyone does their part either setting up shared tents, scouting, hunting or making sure everything is in working order. Mitya was focused setting up the Kresnik heaters around the camp. Alrecchino and Sandrone chatting idly amongst themselves, Odette and Vodyanitsa doing the same.
