Visitors in the Night

Sometimes, I hate being right.

Sure enough, as the night passed in its journey until the sun would return in the sky, and as my meditative rest was nearing an end, we were besieged by an assault. Shu was taken out by an arrow, but we were able to rescue him and keep him well later.

A man with a large hammer came forward and was striking the manacles, finally freeing our prisoner. There was some hesitation and as I stood and woke my comrades, Shellcorman came and ran the man through with his longsword, killing him and eliminating the chance for interrogation. Our prisoner acted as though he was happy and fine with the man's death. We asked him for directions to the house, but as always, he pleaded mostly ignorance.

Our timeline grows short. This rain is likely to slow us down on our journey and we must head forth. We only have supplies long enough to reach New Creek tomorrow.
