Descent Into The Depths Of The Earth - Plot & Excerpts
Forced to slow down, the Justicar cursed the mule and cart for the thousandth time as he swung them onto the new route. Hanging back as the cart blundered onward, Jus swept the new trail with a severed branch and retreated away from the main track. Escalla sat atop the cart counting a little pile of gold. She smiled at Jus, holding up one of her glittering trophies. The Justicar growled under his breath, swept the trail clean of cart tracks, then walked irritably along at the wagons tail. A mile down the track, Jus allowed the mule cart to slow to a halt. Wheezing like broken bellows, the mule staggered forward to a little stream where it stood hock-deep in water. Polk took the chance to uncork his whiskey bottle. The little man took a swig, sighed, sealed his bottle, and then sat up in his seat. “When do we go back to town? Your ruse must have worked, boy! The soldiers will be out searchin’, so now’s the time to head back and face down their leader with cold, hard steel!” Annoyed, Jus glared at the little man, half tempted to harness him next to his own mule.
