When the note is slipped back into the scroll case, one of the animals approaches, but it doesn't comes close enough for you to pass the scroll case back to him. He stares at the scroll holder for a moment, and barks until the scroll case is deposited on the ground and whoever bore it steps back. The dog moves in to collect it. But the wary look doesn't leave his eyes until he has it in his mouth, and is away. In the blink of an eye. The dog with the scroll case reappears about 40 feet way. It watches you for a minute while the other animals gather around it. Then together they dissappear from sight.They don't return, and aren't seen again.The four of you turn back in the direction you were heading and continue walking.The rest of the day is fairly uneventful. Garival can't shake the feeling that the weather is threatening ... something. But he can't work out what. Perhaps the weather itself doesn't know yet, he concludes.No one appears that night. It seems JG didn't want, or wasn't able, to accept your invitation.The storm arrrives in the small hours of the morning a few hours before dawn. It begins with a charged stillness in the air. Its not long, however, before the stars begin the disappear and the air stirs again. A short lime later it is starting to tug at your hair and loose clothing. Rain follows shortly. Its not yet a downpore, but the drops of water are fat and heavy.A bolt of lightning rends the night sky.</blockquote>
