[QUOTE="doghead, post: 6281375, member: 8243"] [b]Day Five, the Baron's residence in the Ducal capitol of Hesse[/b] [sblock=Ullara - Earlier that Night.]Between Herr Bourn's residence and the tavern Ullara spots several rats. They are mostly on roofs and walls, clear of the ground and deep in shadows. They are elusive and quick. Bran is unable to flush any out into the open. Ullara never quite gets a clear view; she cannot say if they it is one rat, or many. But if it is one, it would have to move with great determination between sightings.
