Sounds of an Affray
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 54950

The three rode on at a brisk canter. Astra had a horse of her own now,
Fred having bought it for her at the inn. It wasn't a very good horse,
since Fred hadn't wanted to spend too much of his limited funds, not being
sure of what further expense their mission might require. But it was
adequate.
About half an hour later, they heard shouts from up ahead. "I'll go ahead and reconnoitre," Fred said. "Now that we are deep in the forest, shouldn't you remain with Ambaric for his protection?" Astra suggested. "Why don't I go and investigate?" "But you have neither armour nor weapon," Fred objected. "It wouldn't be safe." "I suppose that you're right. I wish that I had a sword. Perhaps it would be wisest for us all to stick together anyway." A couple of minutes later, a bend in the track brought the source of the shouts into view.
