She mouths the words "Thank you" to Laravier.-- A short time passes --The forest is upon you now and the rain has not stopped. The wagon's wheels now sink and dip in the mud on the road. As you pass the first cluster of trees a feeling of dread over takes you. Shadows blanket the ground and the overcast day does not help with illuminating the forest road. The taskmaster remains at the head of the column. A group of teamsters move ahead clearing the road of debris. The guardsmen seem very tense their heads swivel back and forth. It is apparent to all of you that this level of high alertness will be difficult to sustain for the entire trip through the Dim Forest.Two hours of travel pass when the sounds of the caravan are drowned out by a call from the taskmaster. "Stop! Stop the column!" As the wagons stop many guardsmen lean and twist trying to see what the problem is. Mallie climbs to the top of the cargo in her wagon and then calls down to your group. "I think something is dead on the roadway... It looks like... like something large..." She strains her neck trying to see what it is. The taskmaster then calls again. "Lets get some strong backs up here to the front!" Rowan's companion Tiki raises her nose to the sky and sniffs. Her attention then turns to the forest North of the wagon.</blockquote>
