Gustave pauses to suck a dribble of water from his waterskin, casting his eyes across the horizon. A rumble escapes from his belly.
"I think we should pursue a course that will bring us upon tasty quarry", he says, glancing down at his waist, "though I leave it to more wilderness-wary sorts than I to deduce which route is the most appropriate."

Desmond should have the coins from the buried strong box. He dropped the box, but he took the coins out of it.

Hey... some of us came out a head.

He does. That is the "Brigands' coins (1)" listed.

The company stands surveying the lands about and scratching their stubbly chins. What to do?

There are perhaps two hours of daylight remaining.

So, do you wish to follow the river, or head directly overland, or head to the road?

Dieter would vote to follow the river.

Sure, it might be longer, but there's much less chance of getting lost. Also there's much more access to game (and/or fish).

"I'm with you big guy", says Gustave, slapping Dieter on the shoulder.

"...and I look forward to watching you fish with that", he adds, eying Dieters well-bloodied sword.

With that, he picks the last few crumbs of rations from his fingers, shoulders his pack and heads off down the river, pausing only to throw over his shoulder "Are you lot coming then?"

Desmond looks over and Mondes and then back at the rest of the group and says, "Now that I have another mouth to feed, I really need to think about where the next meal is going to come from, so I'm all for following the river, as well."
