notice is at the front of each of the wagons,
there’s a figure with the reins that is in the
process of sitting there and occasionally making
sure the pace is kept relatively steady forward.
You do see by the long robes and ornate silk
mantles of the highwaymen that are holding these
reins, you get the impression that they probably
are from the Menagerie Coast. You two in
particular recognize, it’s not well-off mercantile
clothing, but it looks like it’s not rags for a
person that makes this trek up and down the Amber
Road. Looks like they’re heading southward,
probably returning after completing some sort of a
trade run up to either Zadash or Rexxentrum and
spaces nearby. As the gap begins to close, there’s
a brief moment of chicken to see who’s going to
avert the path as it’s only about ten foot wide.
It would be a pretty tight fit to get both your
troupe and their wagons past. Do you guys yield or
do you continue to push forward?
TRAVIS: I would just like to suggest we might give
way. There are six of them.
TALIESIN: I’m fine with that.
MARISHA: Yes, agreed.
LAURA: Yeah.
MATT: You guys skirt your single horse– poor
thing is pulling this cart on its own.
TRAVIS: We’re going to kill it.
MATT: It’s not going any faster, really, than you
guys walking, necessarily.
(laughter)
LAURA: But we get to be lazy.
TRAVIS: But we’re not walking.

MATT: Because it is not a riding horse, it is a
beast of burden, so it’s about the same pace that
you’re going. As you guys pull slightly off into
the grass, the cart bumps as it hits some rocks
and patches of dirt and thick grass. They continue
to pass, and as they do, you see the individuals.
The one in the front has what looks to be a thick
scarf tossed over the shoulder obscuring part of
the face, and she gives a hand salute up to you as
it passes and a bit of a head nod. As you wave your
hand frantically, a bit of eye contact is made and
continues past.
LAURA: Are you going to Nicodranas?
MATT: No response. The first cart continues past.
LAURA: Hi. Hi, are you going to Nicodranas?
MATT: The next one looks over to you for a second,
the head cocked a little bit. “No, we are on our
“way to Port Zoon.”
LAURA: Oh.
MATT: “By way of Nicodranas.”
LAURA: Oh! Did you come from Zadash?
MATT: “We briefly did, yes, but we are returning.
We have finished our wares and we have things to
"bring back to sell.”
LAURA: How far is it to Zadash?
MATT: “Uh…” At this point he’s passed by you and
his voice gets a bit louder over his shoulder and
