Late afternoon, 13th of Truces
One of the older women approaches and seizes your stirrup with a steady but withered hand. She informs you in heavily-accented Mozarabic that the Brigand holds the third village south from here. That is all she says before dropping her hand from the stirrup and walking away.
Continuing southward, you pass the orchard, and ride over the ridge of the hill, onto a highland slightly greener than the valley of goats. You ride a couple of hours to reach the next village, which is surrounded by fields of wheat and barley and has healthy gardens among about twenty huts. "Time about to rest the horses," Ogier comments. "I see here they have a well." There is no stream, but the huts surround a roughly circular yard about forty five yards across. At the center of the yard stands a tile-roofed stone cabana, under which you can see the gantry and crank of a bucket well. To the left of the well house, eastward, is a clean swept plaza paved with stones.
You and your horses also could do with an evening meal.
What do you do?
