Elfride smiled momentarily as she heard Hama and Mayonette give just about the same instructions to their immediate companions more or less similtaneously... if the situation weren't so serious she might have found it amusing to watch the two vie for the leadership of the expedition the claims of rank vying with thouse of blood kin. But the situation was serious and she wondered if they would have avoided some of the strife if the chain of command had been clearer. Her musings were interrupted by Hama's question about the pack.

"That .... belonged to the man Zach... in the circumstances I don't think we need return it to him" She grinned at Hama. " but ... I think, I think he said something about a map ... he might have been bluffing but Mayonette had a blade at his throat so I doubt it".

Hama opened the pack cautiously but he had no need to investigate too far. a folded piece of parchment was near the top. Opened out it was a map of the Harrowdale, cruder than those they had studied at Elfride's house, but it was fairly clear. Ther was the Snowbourne running the length of the valley, the long stretch of woodland to its west that reached up the lower slopes. The villages were marked and more significantly the property near Upbourne whence Sandrina had been taken. This had been drawn on later.

Through the wood were traced paths; Hama guessed that it was a map devised by a forester and adapted by samuel and his henchmen for their purpose. There were some further additions at the southern end of the wood, more remote from the village and closer to the entrance to the paths of the dead. There were some extra tracks and a symbol that might well be meant to represent a building.

"It seems our friend may have been telling the truth... Mayonette, what do you think, you interrogated him I believe?"
