<p><quote>I was hoping the King would send a large search party,</quote> says Captain D<ch.apos/>Val wryly, now having fully recovered from his exhaustion. <quote>I was beginning to tire of this town.</quote></p>

<p>He asks you about your mission, and you recount the events that have led you to this meeting; the ride south, the loss of your company, your passage through the Maaken Mines and the bandits.</p>
<p><quote>Yes, the bandits<ch.emdash/>Barraka<ch.apos/>s men,</quote> retorts D<ch.apos/>Val, his gruff voice conveying his contempt for them and their leader. <quote>It seems we have both suffered at his hand. A month ago, he and his Vassagonian renegades ambushed my troop on the Ruanon Pike. We were sorely outnumbered and the fight was indeed bitter. But we broke free from them and escaped here to Ruanon. We have been beleaguered ever since and praying for help to arrive. We have enough weapons to resist them, but we have barely enough food and water to survive.</quote></p>
<p>You ask what has become of the people of Ruanon. <quote>Most are now slaves. Barraka has taken the mines and he uses the Ruanese as forced labour. Other than yourself, only one man has escaped from the mines and survived the Warhounds and the bandit snipers. That man is Baron Oren Vanalund. Come, I shall take you to him.</quote></p>

<p>The ceiling of the cavern is so low that you are forced to all press yourselves against the bottom of the boat to avoid head injuries. For nearly an hour the boat is swept through a maze of underground waterways before coming to a sudden halt; you are grounded upon a bank of shingle. You are in a section of the tunnel that is much higher than any you have previously travelled. To the south the river continues into the rock-face, but to the west you notice another shingle bank and a land tunnel beyond.</p>
