No Alternative

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 1813

Fred and Astra groaned inwardly. They could not afford the delay that the round trip would entail, if they were to get to Synizn in time to be cured. However, the only alternative seemed to be a trial that was almost certain to be rigged against them. Fred saw Astra nod almost imperceptibly. He could guess what she was thinking. Once they were out of the cell and had left the city walls behind, the two of them should be capable of turning the tables on the avaricious lawyer.

Fred and Astra found there was a slight complication. Rift insisted on bringing along his dwarf servant, whom apparently he totally trusted. Provisions were obtained, and soon the part set off, Fred and Astra on their charger, Rift on his horse and the dwarf on a pony.

When dusk fell, they made camp for the night. This was when Fred and Astra would have to make their move.

  1. Apparently it did not occur to Rift that such harmless-looking creatures could be a threat. Once he and the dwarf were asleep, Fred and Astra acted.
  2. Unfortunately, Rift arranged for the dwarf to mount watch for the first half of the night, with Rift himself to take over for the second half.
