	You wake before dawn and spend an hour cleaning your 
Š	weapons and equipment before going downstairs to the 
Š	taproom of the tavern. Behind the counter the tavern-
Š	keeper's wife is busy preparing breakfast for herself 
Š	and her family, and she bids you a hurried good 
Š	morning. Mindful of your need for transport, you ask 
Š	if there are any horses for sale at the adjoining 
Š	stables.
	
	"Only one," she replies, wiping her hands on her ale-
Š	stained apron. "An old mare called Jheni. She's past 
Š	her prime but she's strong and dependable. I can let 
Š	you have her for 10 Gold Crowns, and I'll throw in a 
Š	saddle. What do you say to that ?"
	
	You agree to her price and pay her (erase 10 Gold 
Š	Crowns from your ιAction Chartι) and she calls for her 
Š	husband to bring the horse around to the front door. 
Š	The chestnut mare is old but she is in fine condition 
Š	and you are satisfied that you have made a wise 
Š	purchase. You mount up and bid the taverners farewell 
Š	before riding out of Bavari by way of its east gate. 
Š	Your new mount lives up to the woman's description of 
Š	her and you cover the first ten miles of your journey 
Š	along the coast road with ease. As you pass through a 
Š	grove of toa trees, you see a track branching off the 
Š	main road. It descends a slope to a cluster of huts 
Š	that are perched on the edge of a cliff overlooking 
Š	the sea.
