Hot in Pursuit

Skye alighted on Fred's shoulder. "Bad news, kids! Tarsa's made it to the constabulary! She beat the crap out of the town guards, undressed and tied them up, then proceeded to steal a horse. Last I saw, she was heading for the east gate, sending the townsfolk scattering in fear."

"This is bad." Fred said. "We'll never catch her on foot now!"

"We need horses ourselves." Sharon said. "Quickly - to the stables!"

They raced to the stables and procured horses - Fred a black stallion with a fire-red mane that he named Wildfang, and Sharon a mighty sorrel mare which she dubbed Weatherlance. Thus they galloped out the east gate, hot in pursuit of Tarsa. She was fairly easy to track thanks to Skye, and the trail of burning farms and shattered homesteads that she left in her wake.

1. They eventually catch up to Tarsa in the midst of some wrongdoing.
2. They finally catch Tarsa, endangered by a pack of violent bandits.
3. Tarsa's trail ends in the port town of Setrial, a common hangout of thieves and pirates.
