Send for more men for the next leg of your expedition.

You travel with Margust to the main junction on the main road to your fort. Margust continues along while you and Stilgard wait. You have decided to send for twenty men. Margust should be back in three days so you set up a camp site off of the road and wait.

After a day of waiting, Stilgard spots a falcon in the sky. “I could be wrong, but I think that is a message bird.”

“The Singh Palace couldn’t possible know which way we have gone.” You say. “That is most likely an ordinary falcon.”

“I hope you are right,” Stilgard said.

An hour later Palace soldiers surround your camp. You count fifteen men.

“How did you find us?” You ask while throwing down your sword and daggers.

“An eyewitness thought they saw someone leaving the Palace after the break in that looked like they were from these parts,” the captain explained “It was a mistake to steal from the Palace of Singh.”
