<![CDATA[This is the ferry to the Zaskiva Isle, a smaller island to the northeast, where the capital of Morrow's Isle sits, secure and protected. There are a good number of guards, checking to make sure that nobody unwelcome manages to use the ferry.]]>

<![CDATA[When you try to take the ferry to Zaskiva Isle again, grim faced guards stop you. "Sorry, but we aren't letting anyone through. Since Lord Volpe's assassination, the isle is cut off from all visitors."]]>

<![CDATA[The ferry ride is quick and uneventful. They aren't letting many people go to Zaskiva these days, what with the rebel activity and all. You're practically the only people on the ferry. Soon, you land.]]>

<![CDATA[When you're almost to the ferry, you notice that a large group of woodsmen has caught up with you and now surrounds you on all sides. One of them gets close to you and hisses, "What are you doing? Do you want to get killed? Come with us!"]]>

<string id="12">
|

<![CDATA[When you hesitate, she says, "They're questioning anybody trying to leave. Hard! This isle has been closed off. Lord Volpe is dead. We're with the Hill Runners. Come with us, and we'll get you off the isle."]]>

<![CDATA[You look at the dock. Sure enough, it does look like the guards are interrogating a group of terrified merchants. Still, it could be a trap. Do you go with them instead of going to the isle?]]>

|
|
<string id="17">
|
|
<![CDATA[Escaping the woodsmen, you move on to the docks. Unfortunately, the guards have a description of you as "suspicious people seen placing a box near the explosion." They don't even ask you any questions before they seize you and start the beatings.]]>

<![CDATA[Unfortunately, by the time Jaen finds out where you are and what's happening to you, it's too late. In rational times, you might have been held for questioning and put on trial. These are not, alas, rational times.]]>

<![CDATA[The rebels take you north, to a concealed, leaky rowboat. From there, two of them row you across the water to an isolated beach north of the ferry dock, and, without a word, head back.]]>

|
|
<![CDATA[When he sees you aren't going to butcher him, he scuttles up to you. "Welcome to my humble camp," he rasps. "I am Bartholomew, a traveler down on his luck. I would offer to share my food, but I have no food to give. I have something else, though."]]>

</string>

|
<string id="31">
|
|
<![CDATA[Taking the bait, you ask what he has. He removes a small, wooden wand from his rags. "This is my only possession, but a valuable item it is. It's a wand of massive, searing fireballs! It can be yours for only 500 gold."]]>

<![CDATA[You examine the wand. It's hot to the touch. Clearly magical. Still, this guy might be a con artist. Do you buy it?]]>

<![CDATA[Ecstatic, the man takes your money and runs off through the woods (giving you the wand first, of course). The wand is a beautiful piece of finely carved wood. You hope it's worth what you paid.]]>

<![CDATA[That's why, when they see you approaching, they don't hesitate to come out, welcome you, and invite you in for pie. They ask you for news from the rest of the isle - not many people come out here now, so they take what they can get.]]>
