At last, Edelle and Logan return. The elf maid is seen helping the jungle elf down the stairs to the common room. She has a contented smile on her face. Logan does not look as if he has slept since you saw him last, and is obviously exhausted. He is covered in scratches and bite marks, and his clothes are torn.

He looks quite pleased with himself.

Gathering up your goods and chattels at last, you load them onto your mounts, toss Logan onto his, and set out.

Wizbang and Callie, who seem to be the only ones with any clue as to where you are going, point you down the Amlad Road.

Yesterday the weather warmed up to a more seasonal level, but overnight the temperature plunged. When you set out it is perhaps 10F, with a cold wind blowing out of the north making it feel like it is below zero. Grey clouds overhead flurry snow on you occasionally throughout the day.

A brisk ride takes you across eastern Milkland to the Canabar River. This forms the eastern border of the Halfling lands. It is a large river and major tributary of the Mississippi, perhaps a third of a mile wide at this point. It is spanned by an ancient stone bridge. On this side of the river is Burl Grav, a halfling thorp (population 30). There is an inn here called the Burrow (for it is built into the river bank), and based on your enjoyable time in Hobbitown you opt to stay here for the night before entering Amlad in the morning.


next day...
