[QUOTE="howandwhy99, post: 2786545, member: 3192"] The shortcut was far narrower than the main road. And it led steeply up hill too. After an hour the hills were so tall their tops were nothing but barren black rock. Ahead, the mountains loomed. Wind swirled down from the peaks chilling the travelers. Nothing but scrubby bushes grew in the crags. Most of the day was gone and long shadows stretched across the land. Dalin tried to take his mind off the road by practicing with his dice. He had learned the night before they had an odd tendency to roll whatever number he last called out. Then he decided to test the rod he had won in the MidSummer’s strength competition. Rose was finally awake and saw him playing. “Let me see,” she called out. Dalin was unsure, but remarkably Rose had no aversion to the bar’s metal. She held it up in the air and said, “Hold!” It dropped to her lap. Rose handed Dalin’s rod back to him. Kayla’s curiosity was piqued however. She pulled the mug out of the cloak. It was full to the brim with beer. She dumped it out. “Heeey!” said Dalin in protest. Kayla called out names of different drinks, but the mug did not refill. “It must only be once per day,” said Kayla. Rose nodded wondering what she could possibly be talking about. The wagon lurched to a halt. The shortcut had joined back with the main road. “We may want to rest here for the night,” said Gwenna pointing to a large campsite nearby. “There’s nowhere else until we reach the Keep.” “How long is that?” asked Dram. “Another four hours up to the mountain pass.” As the sun set behind their backs it illuminated a thin ribboned road between two mountain peaks. The second caravan was already setting up camp. Gwenna steered her wagon away from the other two for some privacy. Rose got out and stretched her legs. She searched the ground around the campsite for tracks. Several horses had passed through a half-day ago. “I bet that damned witch set off that avalanche,” spat Dram when he heard. “Tankurd is close! I can feel it!” “Hmmm??” said Darius. He had been distracted. “Yes. I can feel my mount too. It is very close now.” His eyes searched the starry sky above. Rose heard the horses neigh. She went over and talked with them. They were scared. They smelled cruel two leg scent on the wind. “It will be alright,” said Rose. “I will return later to sleep nearby. Stay calm for now.” She walked back to the fire Gwenna and Miklesh were building. She sat down and contemplated all that had happened since arriving in Kera. She was now ‘wealthy’ as the others called it. When the rest of the team sat down for dinner she struck up a conversation. [/QUOTE]
