[Alkanoonion]

Carl Hoarwell rose early the next day after spending a restless night in the Green Dragon. Leaving his room Carl made his way to the common room to see what meagre food was available. For breakfast Carl had leftover Vegetable soup that looked closer to water than soup served with a crust of bread. After the less than satisfying meal Carl made his way to the stable to purchase a pony for the long trip along with what little feed could be spared for the poor beast.
Examining the last pony in the stall Carl thought that she looked half starved but he knew that she was in better shape than many of the shires inhabitants.

On the pony Carl strapped his camping kit, which included his spare cloths, what food could be purchased from the Green Dragon; a first aid kit, his bedroll and a spare cloak. On his person Carl kept his Dagger, Bow and a pouch full of tobacco and his new pipe purchased from the Green Dragon and lastly his flint and tinder. Carl was ready for the trip.

Making his way back to the Took House Carl saw the others preparing to leave, nudging the pony he moved to join the group.
