[QUOTE="xnosipjpqmhd, post: 3487973"] [b]Heavy Cloud No Rain[/b] [smallcaps][COLOR=Orange]Sunday, Harvester 2.[/COLOR][/smallcaps] Oberyn awoke at dawn in Ysa's bed. She stirred. "Must you leave?" she asked him. He nodded. "Will you return?" He nodded again. "I want you to know that you will always have a bed at the Lucky Monkey." He said nothing, rose, dressed, and descended to the common room. Jack and Tateland were sitting at the bar, chewing some leftover boar and making ready to leave. Oberyn purchased the remainder of the boar from Orin, and the group left the inn. Although the eastern sky was lightening, the whole sky was overcast with dark clouds, heavy with rain, yet nothing was falling at the moment. Bolgrim and the wagon-drivers had fed the draft horses and were making the final preparations for the day's trip into Adlerweg Pass. The terrain through which the trail wound became more rocky with each passing mile. The forests around the Lucky Monkey gave way to steep slopes on either side, and the trail was much rougher than it had been on the previous day's journey. Every so often, the caravan would pass a plantation or a mine entrance. Sometimes workers could be seen, sometimes the place was idle. A group of dark-skinned Olmans passed by, heading in the opposite direction. They wore tattered clothing and had few possessions. Oberyn offered a pair of silver coins to them as they passed by, and Jack translated to Oberyn the thanks offered by the eldest man. *** Instead of stopping for a mid-day meal, Bolgrim ordered that food must be eaten while moving. The wagons were a little slower in the pass, and stops had to be kept to a minimum if the caravan was to reach Cauldron Keep by nightfall. "Slow up!" called Tateland. He had caught sight of a body--perhaps a child or hobbit--lying half-concealed behind a boulder at the side of the road. Bolgrim grumbled but agreed to pause the wagons briefly while Tateland investigated. Oberyn rode his horse over as well. "It is the body of a kobold," called Tateland. He scanned the area for any sign of other kobolds. The young wagon-driver named Simon stood and looked around as well, but no one spotted anything else amiss. Oberyn rolled the body with his boot to be sure it was dead. Then Bolgrim ordered the caravan to continue, and the corpse was forgotten. [/QUOTE]
