None of them radiated magic. The longsword did have a artisan's mark. This alone made it worth more to the party. With the natural light starting to head towards dusk the party made for the caravan.Snap stated, "Halt, who goes there? Is that you, Bartol?""Aye, we have returned victorious," he beamed, "and with many goodies."Snap looked the sword over and told the party it was of dwarven make. The craftsman was well known. However, he hadn't been seen for many years. Another Dale's local, Zanderat Wilcot, would pay handsomely for it. But his estate was miles to the East. So the guards settled back into their routine. No further trouble greeted them on the journey. A couple hours shy of Peldan's Helm, though, they did find the remains to the last caravan. The drivers, teamsters, handlers, and Snap tossed a few coppers near a small burial site near the burnt out husks."I hope Melvyn Wimbly made it safely," Snap whispered. "He was part of this expedition and a friend."Bartol hung back to check on tracks. He also collected the coins. "No use to them," he thought.The road wound around a small cliffside and then forked. One path lead upto the Keep. The Keep was on a small hill. The only visible entrance was over a drawbridge. The moat was shear dropped off to a deep ravine. The other to another of the Dales to the Northwest. But Bartol couldn't make out what the sign said. To the South was a swampy area. And to the North was a thick forest. The road ran alongside the forest for as far as the eye could see.Activity on the walls of the Keep was non-existent. Two guards awaited the caravan at the moat."Hail and well met, Snap" cried the guard. "Tis a great sight to see you and your wares."The other guard hurried inside to summon the corporal of the watch. The corporal returned and somewhat suspiciously eyed the guards."Who do you have with you? We need them to state their names and business here in the Keep."The guards quickly offered their names. And Snap vouched for them. He also filled the corporal in on the hazards of the journey, including the goblin toll bridge."Alright then, stay in the outer bailey. You have access to any of the shops and accommodations you need there," the corporal stated as she backed away.Snap laughed, "Any accommodations? There's only the one."And with that he took the caravans to be unloaded. The guard company headed to the inn to check on rooms.</blockquote>
