                       THE COMING OF THE ZIOTH
                          TURN THIRTY-SEVEN
                         SAHLMAN'S ADVENTURE


   "HA!" Sahlman let out with a loud cry to his restless steed, leading
the other two men back toward Maelbourg. At the next possible chance,
Sahl would cut back on a different road toward Grenzig. He didn't know
what Ziedon was up to, but trying to take a town by storm with an army
of three didn't seem like a good plan.
   The sun was setting before he saw Maelbourg in the distance. As soon
as he spotted the town, Sahl slowed and stopped, wheeling his mount to
speak to the two soldiers, "Bahlban is to speak. It is to Grensiig. For
go to Maelbourg, will not be good. Yes?" The men stared at the idiotic
foreigner, trying but failing miserably to understand what he was
trying to say. Sahl could clearly see their incomprehension, and tried
again, "Go to Maelbourg, Gahlguu has men to kill us. Go to Grenzig, let
Bahlban fix." The soldiers seemed to more or less get the gist, so Sahl
didn't press his luck any further. He'd begun to think that the less he
tried to speak the wetlander tongue, the better of he'd be.
   Waylad was the only one who could offer a suitable response. "Are
you saying that we're not going to Maelbourg? Ziedon told us that was
our job."

I had to change your post slightly so it would make sense, given the
map. Did you get the copy of the map I sent you?
