Andrea massaged her neck as she jumped through the hole created by
Torrance's unwanted entry. She grabbed her boots, sword, money, pack--
everything but the adventuring clothes she had washed before she went to
sleep--and ran out the front door. The agile Jim was dancing about
Torrance, trying to lure him near the tree again or do anything to get him
away from Andrea. Andrea slipped on her boots and pack and hustled through the underbrush. Her feet hurt but she pressed forward. She cursed that Maculay's hearing was so dull in his old age that he didn't hear the fight outside. She wanted to go home. As she pressed on, the sounds of the commotion died away. Soon she slowed her pace. She now was heading directly away from Croix Keep and toward a valley of mixed kingdoms. She had heard many rumors about the bazaar there and was curious to investigate. To her left were hills where it was rumored that dwarves lived. To her right was a vast plain dotted with manors each encircled by its own wall and defenses to protect them from bandits and raiders.
