As promised, once they drew close, a sign pointed down the correct path to take to the farm of Asvig Longthews. It would take nearly two hours to make the journey, making it a little past noon, by the time they arrived. Along the road leading up to the farmhouse, about sixty feet out from the structure, they'd spot a ring of strange, wooden posts, surrounding it, spaced about thirty feet apart. These “animal posts” are topped with fancifully carved lion heads that are obviously the work of a woodcarver who had never actually seen a lion before. The craftsmanship, however, is of good quality, and gold and red paint highlights the seams and creases in the wood. In addition, runes have been carved running down the length of each post.<br/><br/>Ameiko would pause and consider them, briefly. "Those lion heads... they look remarkably similar to the armbands those thugs were wearing when they attacked us, the other night."
