Adiós a La Cuidad

Although it takes a frustratingly long time, even the eldest residents of the village were safely escorted back to their homes. The rest of the night passed uneventfully. After first light, the Lumberjacks enjoyed well earned rest augmented by tequila.

By early afternoon, everyone was awake again -- with slight hangovers possibly. The villagers despite their age and seeming feebleness had already made surprising progress in repairs to their home. The weather was overcast with a thunderstorm brewing.

Conversations with the villagers are encouraging. The people here believe that by entirely wiping out the vampire raiders, the Lumberjacks have bought them months or maybe even years of peace. Their village is too remote for most predators to bother visiting, so it was primarily this same gang of bloodsuckers which visited them as a part of their monthly migration. Humans and other mortals tend to stick close to the river while traveling north or south, but the monsters tend to travel west through the forest from here toward the vampire kingdoms.

Ana has some insight into the manner...

Adiós a La Cuidad

"Nights before you came this here, other travelers came through. They rode metal horses. They were not the feral dead which raid our walls but the type which pass for living. We know that they were dead from the way they traveled at night and towards the kingdoms -- and by how our own animals ran away from them."

"If you double back to the north, you may be able to find the nymph's tree. She may be able to tell you more. If you want to use the cover of the rain to move through the forest quickly, the weather will keep vampires hidden. There may be other threats in the deep forest. Due west and not far is the next village: the Hollow Hill. We think it may have been some type of bunker during the Golden Age which was settled by refugees during the Dark Age. The residents there are short and strange and hate strangers, but they will accept you. Even Reid's Rangers visit the Hollow Hill no more than once per year, and they have not been this way for over two years. Do not judge the hill people too harshly for their lack of hospitality as they are the last mortal outpost between the living and the dead and suffer even more frequent attacks than La Cuidad."

"May Saint Christopher guide you."
