When they are done they are lead into the main house where there is a large table laden with warm black bread, a hot broth, potatoes and a number of cooked chickens. The lady of the house adds "Eats up and my youngins will shows ye where ye can bed down tonight. My husband will be in around sunset with the herd." She then returns to her kitchen and leaves the heroes in peace to eat. The food is quite good and filling. After eating their fill the two children lead them to a side house where eight cots have been set up. The room smelled freshly cleaned and appeared to be mostly usage for storage when not housing guests. As the sun is setting the rancher and his two lads appear at the stockade with a couple of dozen cattle. Just as they are leading the animals for the wooden palisade's gate the sounds of drums begin to echo over the hills. dum, Dum, DUM... dum, Dum, DUM they beat. It sounds like a far ways off...</blockquote>
