Walking at a comfortable pace, it is only minutes before the party reaches the somewhat plain-looking building, and makes for the door. Inside, an elderly halfling gentleman sits at an appropriately sized desk, and motions for the party to sit down on the long bench in front of him The halfling tries clearing his throat, coughs, then takes a long drink from a mug on his desk. He then sighs and smiles before saying "Good morning, brave adventurers. I'll bet my favorite pipe that you're here to register for the patrol. Well that's wonderful! I see you're all ready, but we need to get some information before you leave so we can pay you when you get back." The questions don't take long, and soon the party is directed onto a horse-drawn cart waiting outside, driven by a sour-faced draftsman. "Don't mind him. Vorbo's just a bit cranky in the morning," says the halfling before waving goodbye. "Don't forget! Vorbo will drop you off in Jalet around sundown today, and he'll drive you back again six days from now. You stay at the Stumble Inn tonight, at no charge. Fare well!" Already Vorbo has bullied his horse and cart well away from the headquarters, and the party loses sight and sound of the halfling clerk immediately. Vorbo meanwhile continues pressing through the crowds with just enough concern for others safety to avoid the attention of the city guard. By the time the party has arranged the straw, blankets, kegs, and crates to their comfort the cart has crossed the river and passed through the north gate The driver turns out to be downright surly, and does little but grunt when talked to. Within an hour the cart passes the last of the farms surrounding Antar, and the party settles in for the many hours ahead. The food and drink provided for the journey turns out to be surprisingly good. certainly not touched by the guild cooking crew. Traffic on the road is very light, and there is little to do but count the sea gulls as they patrol the coast to the west. Perhaps a half hour from sundown, the cart reaches Jalet, the small coastal city at the base of the Dead Hills. Vorbo drops the party off in front of the Stumble Inn, and moves off to finish his deliveries as the sun sinks into the sea Music, singing and a feeling of good cheer pours from the open door of the three-storied inn. Stepping into the enormous common room, the party is quickly greeted by the hostess. "You must be working for the Rangers. Please make yourself at home in our humble inn. Afraid we're somewhat busy tonight, but we've plenty of food and bedding for you. I'll have one of the serving maids see to your needs." With that the hostess hustled off, and soon the party is enjoying an excellent meal among the many people happily passing away the evening Eventually the party decides to turn in for the night, and goes to the rooms assigned them. The distant crashing of the waves puts the party to sleep in almost no time, and it is past dawn before the noise of others in the hall wakes them.

It is the wizard Glissen, and he is wondering if anyone would like to trade one mummified newt for 'something special'. Pazuzeus Gravestone makes the trade with Glissen, and is given 50 gold crowns. Glissen then politely excuses himself and walks off, disappearing quickly. Morning finds the party well-rested, and ready to go on The party proceeds down the overgrown trail, ready for anything.

Warm food and comfortable quarters await the temporary Rangers, and the party enjoys the inn and the city until Varbo pulls up to return them to Antar. The trip back is dampened a bit by a brief rainstorm, but it is only an hour or so past sunset when the party is leaving the Ranger Headquarters, walking back to the guild after just receiving 35 gold crowns in payment for the patrol duty End of Adventure Sxar gained a total of 61 EP's, 471 gold, 0 Adv.
