((At this point, the thread's kind of died, but honestly the main chunk of it has been completed anyways. I thought I'd at least write up what the resolution was for the thread so the next one could start up.
There was miscellaneous plans for a few more encounters, and sightings of a large lizard-like Grimm, though that would be more building tension before they finally got to the village without incident; possibly another Grimm fight, but it was dragging on a little already.
Once arriving at the village, they'd be offered to go out and explore, wind down from the trip for a while as supplies were unloaded. If someone went to follow and watch the supplies, they'd notice that it wasn't just food, defenses and replacement limbs; some of the crates had still experimental equipment in them, such as weapons and variant limb replacements. These were offered to the village to better defend themselves in exchange for acting as the human tests for the devices; while technically legal, the rest of the supplies wouldn't have been received without agreeing for this part supposedly (though the Shard Inc representatives would deny knowledge of this - and possibly actually not know, being in somewhat low positions in the company) and it was hard for the village to refuse any type of defenses, being quite out of the way.
After this, the caravan would head back, light enough now to avoid most issues and get back safely.
Thanks for taking part!))
