Butwhen his stomach starts growling, he interrupts his description. “I say, wouldyou have a bite to eat for a lonely traveling man as well?” Do you

take a look to see whether you have anything to spare?

After you have managed to dig up something edible from a backpack, your guestdigs in.

Finally, he goes off on his own travels again.

Despite a thorough search, you fail to find any supplies. Your guest talks awhile about one “old cartway” and some “barrenway”, while drawing various pathsinto the ground with a dagger. Afterward, he gets up and sets off on his ownagain.

The soup is simply delicious, and it doesn’t take long for you to empty the wholepot. The druid continues on his way, and you can return to your dreams.

You wake up totally exhausted with fierce headaches.
All of you dreamt of yourjourney, though mostly about paths and roadways you have never set foot on. Nevertheless,you have the feeling to know them down to every detail.

“I’m in a great hurry because my aunt from Lowangen is on her death bed.” Doyou

To your horror, you find that the rogue made off with %d of your gold ducats.

The druid spoons the soup into his mouth with obvious pleasure. When he’s done,he pours the rest out beside a bush and continues on his way.
