Ashes, all [closed]

[PierceSG]

Ashurn walks to the side of Bree as the farmer and his family walks away, "Well, that went well enough. I thought there would be more crying and screaming."

Penton continues to keep to himself, walking back to the wagon silently.

Heron thanks them for their generosity, and adds, "We'll let the next farms know too."

He then hops in the back with the donations. Once they are on their way, he opens the box to see what has been offered.

Climbing up into the wagon, you settle back into your chosen spots and get eh wagon moving again.
A brief look into the chest reveals some clothes and a few blankets.
A look into the the wicker basket reveals some delicious looking rolls that are still warm, a small slab of cheese and a brown pottery jar.
The next farm, that of Kremen Yesley, is several hours down the road.
Bree

Spoiler

you would know that Kremen is a irascible old codger and need to be dealt with with a cool head.

"Strong people in this parts, farming is hard work and well loses happen, you won't hear much crying and screaming from these people"

She takes her place on the cart.

"If we get a move on we can be to the next farm in a few hours."

Heron hops into the cart. Once they are underway, he points to the warm rolls, and asks the others if anyone wants one.

After hearing what Bree had to say, Ashurn hops onto the cart. But not without grabbing a warm roll and stuffing it into his mouth.

The rolls are buttery, sweet and delicious. It turns out the small pottery jar contains some wonderful strawberry jam, making for a nice snack on the way.
Several hours pass bouncing along the worn road before the Yesley farm comes into view around mid-day. The property is marked with an enormous tree and a fence, about 3 feet tall, surrounds the house as well as a small patch of poorly tended yard. This farm appears to be mostly crops; wheat, corn and, in the distance, what appear to be apple trees.
You do not see any movement in or around the house or barn.

"Looks too quiet.", says Ashurn as he dismount from the cart. "Let me go take a look?"

With the greatsword in his hand, he waits patiently for the rest to decide on what to do.

"Let's stick together for now," suggests Heron, wiping a bit of jam from off Ashurn's chin.

"Head to the house?" he asks, his short sword by his side and his hands obviously empty.
