	For two frustrating days and nights the ferocious 
Š	storm continues unabated. Floods and mudslides render 
Š	the mountain trail impassable, and you are unable to 
Š	leave the shelter of the ancient keep until early on 
Š	the morning of the third day. Anxious to make up for 
Š	lost time, you depart as soon as the rains cease. 
	
	A further two days are spent riding the treacherous 
Š	trail. It takes you across the northern foothills of 
Š	the Dammerdons to the Lunarlian settlement of Jaroc. 
Š	It is mid-morning, fifteen days before Harvestmas, 
Š	when finally you enter the palisade wall of this 
Š	sprawling border town. Few of the people you find 
Š	here are natives. Most are nomadic horsemen from the 
Š	Great Lunarlian Plain who have come to barter and 
Š	trade their wares at its famous tented market. As you 
Š	ride through the bustling market place, you pause for 
Š	a few moments to observe a quarrel between a trader 
Š	and a nomad. The nomad is accusing the trader of 
Š	selling him some rotten food, and he demands the 
Š	return of his money. The trader refuses. In 
Š	desperation, the nomad turns to you and holds out his 
Š	purchase at arm's length.
	
	"Stranger, would y'say this meat is fit to eat ?" he 
Š	pleads, inviting you to inspect an unappetising 
Š	haunch of maggoty meat.
