Most bats seemed to come from random directions in the forest. These stayed high in the sky, indicating that they were the normal, insect eating variety. A few others seemed to arrive from farther downstream, but they were late arriving, and it was difficult to be certain. What was certain was that each boy killed two more bats that landed on them.Walking slowly and counting steps, the two continue westward along the river, entering the forest as it encroached upon the water. As the Daylight sinks below the horizon the second night, each boy climbs a tall tree to be able to watch the sky. Sure enough, a small line of bats is seen flying toward Bridgetown, from even farther downstream. Using the same tactics on the following night, the two think that they can see the bats coming from some stone tower, farther off in the forest. Neither has ever seen this structure before, nor even heard of one.Having the general location in mind, even though it cannot be seen from the ground level, the two proceed to make their way the following morning. As day wears into afternoon, the base of a stone structure is seen through the trees. The stones are smooth with precise edges, indicating yahdram construction. This was perhaps some type of watchtower from before The Sundering, for a flight of stairs ascends on the outside to the flat top. There is no manner in which a person could enter the very narrow tower, but periodic gaps were made into the outside of the surface.The knowledge was lost with the previous age, but the holes helped preserve the structure, for longevity, from collapsing due to the changes of seasonal temperatures, and so it had stood for hundreds of Cycles.  Surprisingly and unexpectedly as the two approach the tower, they are charged by a group of cannibals who are camped near its base. This is very close to civilization to encountering cannibals. At a distance of about 50 strides, it should take the cannibals about 5 seconds to close.[spoiler=Character Data]Jaguar: full wellnessdarts: 8 + 2 = 10Whisper: full wellness [/spoiler][spoiler=Collections]coins: 64 ocrinMuddle Leaf: 1: {muddle x2}Soothe Leaf: 1: {Soothe x2}: 2 ocrinsiron: 1: {shock x2}: 5 ocrinstin: 1: {muddle x2}: 1 ocrin [/spoiler][spoiler=People of Interest]Gastrobon: Centrin man: Plaza Tavern owner, Bridgetown.Merita: Centrin woman: Plaza Tavern cook, heartmate of Gastrobon.Grandon: Centrin man: Grist Mill operator, Bridgetown.Farlen & Hortica: Centrin couple: farmers, Bridgetown.Killian: Spiofthest man: fisherman, Bridgetown.Sheldon & Indigo: alchemists, South Road Fair.
