Message: <blockquote data-quote="silentspace" data-source="post: 1251093" data-attributes="member: 14316">Alyssa Moonshadow had spent the days after receiving her letter getting ready.  It was just a short trip to the Rillathane Bridge, only a few hours, but she knew how dangerous the lands had become.  She traveled overland, passing several farming thorps and hamlets on the way.  It was a rainy, misty day, and most people remained indoors.  Watching the smoke rising from their cooking fires, Alyssa suddenly found herself wishing for company.  She became acutely aware that she was traveling alone, in dangerous lands, towards an uncertain future.  Then she came upon the Rillathane Bridge.  She was familiar with it, of course, but it never failed to take her breath away.  The beauty and sheer magnitude of the bridge stood in sharp contrast to the comparatively small, almost pitiable hamlet of Muck.  The waterwheel of its mill was turning slowly, powered by the Krin River.As she reached the caravan stop on the north side of the bridge, Alyssa saw that the caravan had already arrived.  There were many people about, mostly humans and dwarves.  The dwarves were employees of the Riverfolk Brewery and Inn, built below them in cliffwall.  She saw Sturdy Stalthas, the proprietor, talking to a gnome.  There were two centaurs here as well!  They were talking to a couple elves, a human, and a halfling.  Off to the side there were a bunch of armored humans tying up a bunch of what appeared to be human bandits.  Alyssa guided her mount forward, towards the leader of the humans.  Her letter had suggested she try to gain employment with the caravan as a guard, to travel safely to Carodan.</blockquote>
