Chapter 17

Cormac

I alternated between jogging and walking all night. Even though two healing potions returned my health – HP 100 – it didn't take long before my legs grew heavy, my feet ached, and I got a stitch in my side. I kept my energy up by eating some of the jerky I got off the bounty hunters.

Every time I thought of the bounty hunters, I grinned. I wished I could've been there to see Yank's and Furman's faces when they respawned to find I really did knock them back down to PL 1. Since skill levels couldn't be above the player level that meant all of their hard fought for Skills were back to level 1, too.

"I love my Sword of Kiantor," I said, glancing at the ring.

Normally, I wouldn't want to do such a despicable thing to another player, but those men deserved no less. Even better, during our long trek the previous day, I'd learned that both Yank and Furman were trapped players like me and Elky. They had to live with what I'd done to them, and it would be a long road back to their former levels. Who knew, Furman might level up faster and end up bossing Yank around.

I worried about what happened to Smokey, and to a lesser extent, what happened to Hoss. The big centaur wasn't friendly, and I suspected he was just as evil as the bounty hunters, but I still didn't think he did anything to me to deserve death. Hopefully, he escaped and was free again. I didn't see his body anywhere. Then again, Smokey might've ridden him away.

"Surviving is what Smokey does best," I muttered, more to reassure myself than anything.

Reaching the edge of the forest surrounding Zoss Ford, I stopped in my tracks. Despite being pre-dawn, the town was lit up by torchlight, the gate stood open, and people swarmed all over the place. I hesitated. That place looked like boiling trouble. Worse, my map didn't show any of my women in town.

"Why are they all off to the west?"

I couldn't find them on the map, so they'd traveled many miles. I only had the magic pull from Kahlan's tagging. She'd tagged all four of us, giving each of us the ability to find all of the others. My map would only designate friends and foes a few miles out, after that sentient beings were just a yellow dot. As some point, all dots vanished as well. I had no way of knowing how far away my women had gone.

"What's keeping them from coming to me?"

And that brought me back to them being sold into slavery. I assumed their captors sold them to slavers, who took them away to be sold in another city. Hopefully, they stayed together long enough for me to catch up.

"I'm not going to catch up on foot," I said. "Been there, done that. Don't want to do it again."

I needed to go into Zoss Ford, but the chances I'd be recognized and killed looked bad.
