Luckily Thane's family had ran an inn about halfway there. And Timmay was originally from Glen. So the party had a good understanding and some political contacts once they reached the town. Bartol and Thane once again provided most of the diet from the wilderness.But the trip was not without peril.Late one evening Amy, Bernedette's cat familiar, was prowling around hunting for some field mice. She was supposed to be on guard duty. Or at least that is what Bernedette had instructed her to do. When she saw some rather large figures crawling thru the brush. Upon closer inspection she discovered several humans. She quickly woke Bernedette. And Bernedette stirred the camp.Eric fired an arrow into the brush striking one of the sneak thieves. The jig was up and battle soon commenced.  Timmay moved forward and tossed some sand into the air. Three of the men stopped crawling and fell asleep. Bernedette slicked down the last one with a nasty oily spell. Bartol charged forward to menace the last awake man. They wore the crest of the Zhents."Throw down your weapons and yield to me," Bartol commanded.The lone man attempted to move and escape. Bartol severed the man in twain. Four horsemen approached. One dismounted and began to help the sleeping men. Thane and the wolverine moved closer and cast a spell to make the weeds come to life. Entangling most of the combatants. Bartol remained just at the edge of the area.Eric fired and struck one of the riders with an arrow. Timmay cast another spell of sleep. A horse, the dismounted rider, and another rider slumped. Of the 2 remaining riders, one had freed his mount and the other leaped from his mount towards Eric. Bernedette moved forward and struck at the man as did Amy and the wolverine. The Zhent ran past them. The only free mounted rider turned his horse about and fled back the way he came.Thane summoned the magic to control the grass ahead of the rider forcing the horse to veer aside. Right into the path of Bartol. Bartol's sword took the rider from his saddle. Eric fired another arrow at the last fleeing man. The Zhent would soon be clear using the cover of darkness. But he hadn't counted on the cat. Bernedette's familiar, Amy, leapt onto his back and brought him down.</blockquote>
