Answers and concerns

Calamir, keeping her eyes on the men across the room, answered her companions, &quot;Aye, Beregond, they speak of gold. Gold that is not theirs for the taking. As for your questions, Valdavar, you are right to be wary.&quot;

She lowered her voice considerably as she continued, &quot;These barrows are less than a day's ride from this village. At one time they were the resting places of great men. Many things turn evil with time and lack of care, however, and these graves are no exception. More should not be said in mixed company, but I do say this: Beware the barrows and those who live within.&quot;

With this comment the lady raised her wine goblet again and settled back on her bench.
