(Feel free to talk amongst yourselves or to the kids, if you wish.) Then the dwarf bids them farewell as he breaks away into the forest beside the path.  [sblock=Cludge: ]Cludge finds a nice place off the beaten path to hang out with his horse.  Meliana dances around on his shoulders and tries to play games with him, tugging his ear with her spider-like crystalline legs and then skittering across his broad back to tug his other ear.[/sblock][sblock=Kurgahz, Shadya, and Conuld: ]The others continue onward without Cludge.  An hour passes.  Before much longer, they cross paths with a horse and wagon going the opposite direction.  Whatever the wagon holds is hidden from sight by a large tan cloth.  A long- and brown-haired man wearing a pointed, dark orange hat sitting on the wagon guides the horse with his reins.  He pulls the horse to a stop when he sees the large group walking.  "Whoa, whoa.  Hey there folks.  I see you've got some cuts on you.  Is there trouble up ahead?" he asks, with a wary look.[/sblock][/sblock][sblock=Lasair: ]Lasair remains behind.  She passes the time talking with Meliana, who seems to be playing with Cludge.  Lasair waits about an hour and a half.  Then she hears footsteps trudging up the road.  Soon she sees four men dressed in hides.  One of the men wears blue draperies over his clothes, she guesses he might be a priest.  The other two carry spears.  One seems like he is simply carrying out an order, and has little emotion that she can detect.  The other spear-wielder has a glint of pride in his eyes, though he also is probably just following orders.  The fourth man's hides seem to be of nice quality.  He wears a frown on his face and his ziivash is rippling with passion that Lasair reads as murderous rage.[/sblock]</blockquote>
