While the group is at the mansion, inquiring the latest news and managing the horses, Rowan and Marvin arrive, catching up with the others. Rennell commands a group of ten trained men to accompany the caravan from here on. Two pack horses and enough food to last to Zangher are also provided. The soldier that welcomed them, merely gives them a nod as they leave, before returning to his daily tasks.<br/><br/>The group travels for a couple of hours, gaining some speed now that everyone is on horseback. A fresh breeze blows in from Lake Kobal, which is running right along the road, though the cliffs reach a good ten yards down to the waterline. The westside of the road is decorated with grassy plains, as far as the eye can reach, the ground practically flat. After traveling for a few hours, the group can see what appears to be a cow laying on the side of the road. When the group comes closer, any suspicions that the animal is dead are confirmed, though only for a few hours, as decay barely sat in. The only wounds it seem to have are at the stomach, which is for the most part missing, while the remaining organs are hanging out in one big bloody mess.
