Gryphons in Greenden

The sun is rising and you go to the window to look at how the weather seems to be. To your shock, you see a small troop of Red Guards enter the village at the far end of the street. Your will your heart to keep beating and curse yourself for a fool. Of course the local garrison would have wondered where its three goons had gotten to. This is the only village for miles, so of course they would come looking here.

You get dressed and throw all your gear together.

"Erric! Erric, get up!"

The satiated man blinks open his eyes, head turning to either side as he registers that he is indeed in bed with two supremely beautiful women. Annoyed, you start to throw his clothes at him, waking the two women, who blink owlishly at you in confusion.

"Erric! There are Reds in the street, we have to get out of here, now!"

Suffice to say, Erric is reluctant to make a swift exit, but you finally manage to get him out of the bed, into his clothes, and out of the inn. The Reds are doing a building to building search, beginning at the far end of the street. You two grab your horses from the stable and get the hell out of the village.

Your primary objective is still to look for the Princess, and the road forks up ahead. North or West?
