I’m sure that the donkey and cart will be very helpful. Should we find our daughter in trouble for whatever reason and unable to walk, then she’ll receive an honorary seat on the cart. I’m sure it won’t come to that, though. She’s a capable girl. We’ll handle those bastards and make sure that they won’t interrupt your trade any further than they already have.”<br/><br/>The cleric left the shop after that and retrieved the donkey and cart outside the stable next to Devereux’ General Shop.<br/><br/>“Come, you all,” he said, to the party that had gathered outside. “Feel free to put your backpack and anything else of burden on the cart; it’s what it’s there for. I also got us four sacks to put those heads in and whatever else we might find. It should be enough to store whatever we gather up after we’re done with them.”<br/><br/>The cleric scratched his head for a moment, wondering what the best way would be to proceed from here. “Eh-, Selise, you’re pretty good with animals, right? Why don’t you handle the donkey? You may even give it a name if you wish. We should probably settle on a marching order, I don’t mind taking the back myself and I prefer to have the donkey and Selise in the middle. Should those filthy bandits ambush us, then I rather keep an eye on Selise and the donkey. I’m used to taking hits anyway and I rather don’t see anything sneaking up on us as we walk. Leofwine, would you mind scouting ahead with your horse along with Vara? Lyara could keep Selise company and help protect the donkey if it comes to a fight. We should be pretty well covered that way. Unless, of course, somebody else has a better plan?”<br/>
