Relsyn asks "How are we getting to Malta?" Wrinkle looks at Relsyn and whistles- "haave oou been paying assenson? fee are oing to assash oorselves oo aa arafan aas aan escort or someting." It takes Relsyn a moment, and a whisper in the ear from Inwe, to understand what Wrinkle said.There is a natural pause as each looks around, lost in their own thoughts of how a new beginning is being made for each.For Relsyn, it is leaving the quiet cloister and security of library for the unknown.For Airith, this is perhaps a job that can release him from day-to-day worry about the next job.For Inwe, it is a journey to discover a balance in herself.and for Wrinkle, perhaps a way to move on afer losing his voice.The moment passes, then all move toward the door and into the street with packs in hand, weapons stowed [there is a law against wielding weapons in the holy city]. They head North to the center of town, through the park, past the museum, and finally into the eastern side of Antioch.  All is quiet around the city. Your party, talking quietly to each other about how you are going to join a caravan, is the only sound other than church bells tolling the quarter hours.The sky is very clear this morning, and your breath hangs in the air with the end-of-winter chill. Here you find a large square, surrounded by warehouses and shops. At various places around the square, horses shiver a little while eating their grain or drink from the ice skimmed troughs. Three or four people are passing by on the Eastern street, and a few workmen are going about their business.On the South side, there are two different stables. The first, with a sign identifying it as "Bernies Beasts of Burden" has the barn doors open and the sound of an anvil and hammer working somewhere back in the darkness. The second is the "Royal Trading Company-livery." Its doors are still closed and there is a painted sign hung on the door, just out of reading sistance.To the West, there is a series of shops where you can buy tack, traveling gear, weapons and armor, post mail (a courier service), as well as a general trading post.On the North and East sides are warehouses, identified as The Royal Trading Company, Middlebrooks Trading, Caldwells, and Youngblood Supplies.The center of the square is open, with low stone walls to identify a central path surrounded by three staging areas for caravans and four aread for individual wagons and horses. There is a vendor, dressed in the local farmers garb, standing in the middle of the circular path with bags of grain on a hand-pulled cart. Apparently he just sold a bag to a large man who is carrying it back to an individual wagon parked just off the street.One staging area has four wagons.  A guard posted there is watching you, as well as the other activity in the sqaure. The workmen you have noticed are unloading these wagons and bringing the supplies into Middlebrooks.Another staging area has five carts in it, all empty. There is no one around these that you notice.After walking into the south-west corner of the central plaza, Wrinkle stops and stretches his legs and arms while scanning the area.</blockquote>
