Chereads / Horses in the Falcon / Chapter 159 - 160

Chapter 159 - 160

"Leading the Tribe of the Red Bear is enough drain on me," you say. "Make the cure, but one of my warriors will take my place."

You summon one of your warriors and explain the situation to him, and the man accompanies Lillian into the woods. They return a little while later, the man following Lillian, and as they reach the caravan, he stumbles and falls. Lillian turns to look at him, and a couple of your tribespeople rush forward to help the man to his feet, guiding him back to the wagons.

You ignore them and turn toward Lillian, who lifts one hand and opens it before you, revealing an acorn in her palm.

"Here is your cure," she says, as you take the acorn from her. "Drop this into Ammeldene's well and fetch a pail of water from it. Those who drink of that pail will be cured."

You thank her and turn away toward the marsh, while Lilian resumes her position beneath the leafy boughs of her tree. From your current position, you can see paths leading away to the west, to the southwest, and to the south.
