Needing to Move On

The Black Void - Episode 3300

"It might be a good idea for us to leave this town in any case," Teran chips in. "Someone at the Silver Dragon who has seen the anklets, and who draws the obvious inference that Hari and Moula are runaways, might hope to get a reward by reporting what he has seen. Apart from the smith, I doubt whether anyone will have been able to read the inscriptions, but before long gossip is likely to reach here that Madam Scarlet has had two girls go on the run. It's a sensational enough story to spread fairly fast. So he would know then who he ought to contact."

"Mightn't the same thing happen at the next town, unless we can get more modest clothes?" Moula asks.

"It's not impossible," Teran admits, "but without the anklets and being that much further out of the city would make it significantly less likely."

  1. We manage to hire a carriage.
  2. The only place that hires carriages is the Silver Dragon, and they are unhelpful.
  3. Seeing a mule-drawn barge coming up the river, we have another idea. Going to the next town by boat might be slower, but it would be more comfortable, given the roughness of what pass for roads around here. It might be cheaper, too.
