For three hours we continue along our way and we enter a small hamlet. As we do, a small bell is rung and many peasants appear out of their houses with baskets of goods they want to sell us. DO I stop to look or carry on? I stop.
Most of the baskets contain food and a few contain earthenware flasks with a local wine - Boza. I purchase two Flasks of Boza. I choose not to give any money to the beggars here, because I might need it later for supplies and such, and my mission is vital. I would totally otherwise, though.
Noon arrives and we begin to see some hills. We ride near a farmhouse and the road has a branch on it, and a main sign that point along branch saying Tahou - 95 miles. I can use Pathsmanship, talk to the farm folks, stay on the highway or follow the side track. Pathsmanship tells me the sign is pointing the wrong way. Tahou is still along the main road, not the branch. I’m going to take the track to see where it goes. Why is the sign the wrong way?
