Once Karyl Crowl and his troop of men are out of sight of the bloody gate he turns to Lars. "Take half the men and ride south. Look for any goat paths into the mountain range. And if you find one send a rider back to us, we will be riding north doing the same thing. If we can get into the mountains and find a clan then we can get through to the vale." Crowl states. "If you find a clan without me just throw names around. They are bound to remember one of us from when we fought together."

"Aye, my lord. We will get behind that gate. Won't those archers be surprised to see you then." Lars says confidently. "I just hope the mountains clans are cooperative." Lars commands to half the men to follow him and heads south.

Lars heads for about eight hours before he stumbles upon a village consisting of a half dozen houses. The inhabitants look at the riders like they are huge spiders trying to collect taxes.

Lars holds his men off from the town and enters alone, trying to ease any minds from having 500 men enter the small village. He looks to find an elder to speak with him about mountain clan activity.

Karyl is hemmed in by the massive mountains the first day. He can ride on or turn back.

Lars finds an older man who talks. "What steel men want?"

Crowl rides on searching for anything he can take. He instructs his men to be as noisy as they want, to hopefully attract clan attention

After a few hours of such behavior, Karyl's men come across a burned village.

"Men, split up. Search the village, find any survivors or clues as to who did this." Crowl orders the men as he enters the village to look around.

It looks like the work of exceptionally thorough bandits. Survivors must have fled because the attack would have occurred at least a day ago. As the band searches, night falls.

Crowl has the men set up camp in the abandoned village, he has the soldiers set up a perimeter and a rotating watch to keep guard during the night.

As night falls, the men report horsemen to the west. A few dozen, at the most.

"Greetings, sir. My name is Lars. I have come here to see if you have any knowledge on the mountain clans in the area." Lars says respectfully to the man.

The man narrows his eyes. "We at peace, now. Make peace with Prince Wolf. Fifteen turns of the moon ago." He gazes suspiciously at the men.

As night falls, the men report horsemen to the west. A few dozen, at the most. Crowl sets out with 20 of his fastest riders towards the riders in the west. The rest of the men he has stay put in the village and keep on the look out for anyone approaching.
