| Sir Azrael let out an amused sigh. He looks at the guard in the eyes with a small smile on his face.
"Well, I didn't even get around asking you, but I got most of the answers I wanted from that. And even some more..."
He trails off as if thinking about something, a frown on his face. He shakes his head and then turns to the other guard.
"However, I would also like to hear your experiences from that night, if you don't mind. Any details can be helpful." | |

| Jareth started to hear the slight sound of Chopping in the distance. "Still a few more minutes to go" he thought. Without turning his head he started speaking.
"Sir Kamos, it seems I am the only one who is affected by the cold. Are you as well from the north?" | |

| Wearing a slight grin he answered.
"Aye and farther North than this at that. Not far from Shapeshte. Doesn't take long to learn functionality is more important than style there even as a comfortable minor noble. Though I must say we were a bit more proactive and involved with the common folk than so far as I can tell about this place. Might have something to do with the constant mystmountain tribes raids."
He glances over at Jareth for a moment then continues a scan of the forest.
"But how about you? The cold such a stranger in your home?" | |

| Jareth was getting a little bit warmer from walking but the wind still send chills through his body when it caught an open space in his Clothes.
"Yes strange it was. I hail from Barclay, and the village my family lived in never saw a winter even close to this cold. There were times it didn't even snow in winter." He made a little pause and pulled his clothes tighter to his body. "Here it seems the snow never goes away. And the cold is affecting the people as well. In my village the Sun was shining and everyone was laughing, here it's always cold and the people seem cold as well." A little smile appears on Jareths face as he continues. "I hope this changes when I get to know them better, even if I will never be able to withstand this weather as they do" | |

| HH: "I'm not sure if I understand what you mean by that, sir. My experience that night was terrible, if that is what you want to know". | |

| Sir Azrael sighed.
"What I meant was what you saw during the night. You might have seen something your friend didn't." | |

| HH: "You mean Okon here? He was smacked so hard in the head he even forgot who he was for some days. About me, well, I already told you what I saw. I can’t count much further than five, but I would say there were as many bandits that night as there is people in a marriage, but less than in a caravan. There were a bunch of them, but not too much." | |

| Sir Azrael smiled at the guards. "I see then. I wish you quick recovery, but I'll be going now. Should you or your friends remember something else from that night, please come and tell me." With that, Sir Azrael leaves the hut to meet Johan and the healer outside. He turns to the healer. "You sure weren't kidding when you said they were talkative." | |

| To Jareth Sir Kamos gave a chuckle.
"The cold weather can make people frigid and on the outside true. Like their homes you see rough and plain exterior but inside waits a cheerful warm embrace... Well, that's if we can help them keep the bloody wood anyways. Ha!" | |

| Outside HH: Johan had insecure feeling in the village. Something will bad will happen to somebody but when and where was a mystery. He needed a hot drink: " Let's go back to warehouse and make a fire. I'll offer you a hot drink made from my personal stash. We also need to think nights plan, so we could do some planning before others come back."

| The Sound of Chopping became louder and Jareth could see a small Forest in the Distance,which might be only one kilometer away.
"Yep you're right, we have to concentrate on the task at hand. They don't have to like me, or don't have to like them. I will help them anyways." After a short pause Jareth continued. "Do you see the Forest there?" Jareth pointed straight ahead. "I guess we're nearly there." | |

| Woodsmann camp: The lack of trees and muddy earth give away that this is where the wood comes from. You see a three-rod fireplace and a small pot hanging over it, with what in a few hours may become the lumberman's lunch. There is a cart resting near it, which probably is what they use for transporting the wood. Further ahead there is a man chopping one tree after another. | |

| As Sir Kamos and Jareth approached the small camp they saw the man doing his work. Jareth didn't want to startle him and he didn't want get an Axe to the face. So he started shouting from few meters back between two chops.

| Adding a bit of his old home accent Sir Kamos gave a cheerful reply.
"Well my furry friend and I were hoping to get any information ya 'ave tha might be useful and perhaps offer an extra axe for awhile or at least move some you've already fell." | |

| Camp: "But that sword of yours will be blind as a mole when you are done with the trees!"He laughted. You didn't find the joke half as fun as he did. These people surely have a weird sense of humor. "No, thank you for the offer, sir, but this is a pointless job. I'm here only because Eric the elder told me to. I'm not even peeling off the bark, because I know that today or tomorrow it will get stolen. About who is doing that, I don't have no information. But I was thinking... stealing wood is not as easy as stealing golden rings - not that I know how to steal, of course. All that wood must have been gone somewhere. It can't just disappear. If we are having less, then someone is having more than they should. Have you talked to the guards already?" | |

| Sir Azrael nods to Johan. "Aye, we should go to the warehouse to see the others. Some of the information is rather worrying and they might want to know." He then falls into silence, lost deep in thought, as they walk towards the warehouse. | |

| Chuckling at the strange joke, more the strangeness of it than the joke, Sir Kamos continued on.
"A most intriguing thought indeed. We have comrades talking to your guards we will consult with once we return." | |

| "But we have as well a few things you could help us with." Jareth continued right after Sir Kamos ended.
"This Land here is to Hostile to steal the wood and then walk to the next Village. There must be some abandoned Houses nearby or Caves of some kind in which the thieves can store the wood or take a break on their way. Do you know of anything where we can look?" | |

| Camp: " I know of no abandoned shacks in the fields around here. On the other hand, this forest runs from here all the way to Uslum. There is room for hundrets of hideouts in it, and anyone who can’t deal with wolves usally keeps away, so we have no idea. If you gathered your band I guess you could cross it easily and without fear, but searching for hidden shacks there would surely cost you some weeks' time". | |

| Camp: "It's close only if you cross the forest, but we avoid that and take the longer route. If you take that in account, Fenbray would be the closest, because they have roads all over the place." | |

| Sherrif's House:
While the knights with her wait for the sheriff to answer his door, Lady Laisha slinks away from them, heading in the general direction of the woodshed. She figures the other two would be better suited to dealing with the sheriff. Instead of heading directly for the woodshed, she skirts the area, looking for the probable directions the thieves would have taken their prizes. | |

| Laisha's tracking: Outside the storage hut, footprints become completely unreadable due to heavy traffic and you spend a long time trying to decipher them in vain. However, as you go a little further downhill, you notice that there is a small depression in the middle of the path, and that it becomes pool of frozen and battered mud, a probable sign that something heavy had been transported that way.
From there on, tracks change significantly. There are deep paired linear marks going northwest, made perhaps by wheels of multiple carts, or many times by the same one. There are well as some from hooves. Very similar tracks, although more shallow, are going north, leading into the forest. One must be more recent than the other, or their cargo was lighter. Both are accompanied by some footprints.

| Jareth listened closely to the descriptions of the Woodcutter. He remembered them but he needed a map to fully understand how far it would be to the next town.
"Thank you very much good man. That would be all questions by me, do you have anything more Sir Kamos?" | |
