| 318 As you approach the wagon you see immediately that it is the remains of a brutal combat. Two bullocks, still in their tethers, lie dead at the front. Great gaping wounds on their backs and heads testament to the powerful strokes that felled them. All about the smashed wagon is the torn and broken remains of what must have been the property of a cloth or household goods merchant. Of the merchant there is no sign. Carefully checking your surroundings before you dismount you have a closer look at the wagon and its shredded contents. You can find no clue as to why this merchant should be here, so far from the normal trade centres and alone. Moving around the smashed remains of the wagon you find a wheel, torn from its bearings and laying on the ground. Sticking up from one of its wooden spokes there is a dagger, covered in blood but finely made and razor sharp.
| If you wish you may take this dagger. If you do record it on your character sheet. A further look about the wagon turns up nothing of any further interest so you remount Pallenten and move on. Turn to section 332.
