Chapter Thirty-Eight

Derren McTrewern’s farm took a lot longer to get to then planned. After they headed out onto the open plains, the sun beat down on them like a physical force, and soon they were all sweating buckets. Had they been dogs, their tongues would have been lolling out the sides of their mouths. Hardly anyone spoke for some time.

Although the landscape was mostly grasslands, there were a lot of animals in sight. Obsidian did a great job of creating a veritable menagerie of wildlife, with birds flying overhead in circles, great Vs of geese navigating across the land, and a selection of cow- and dog-like creatures stalking on the peripheries of their vision.

Only once did they have a combat encounter with a pack of plains hounds, and even then they were easily dispatched, their meat making a nice addition to Chloe’s inventory for later cooking.

After taking care of the dogs, they finally arrived at the winding creek that Jacob had indicated, although it was more of a river. The damn thing was a good forty feet wide, and the gods knew how deep its lazily bubbling center was.

They stopped to rest on the river’s banks, splashing water on their faces to cool themselves down and refilling their water skins. While the others tried to find some kind of shade among the large rocks that lined the edges of the river, Chloe pulled up her character sheet, smiling at the small increases she had gained in Cooking and Armed Combat—which seemed ridiculously tough to level up in somehow—and Herb Identification on their journey to Hobblesville and during their stay there.

“You got any ideas about how we’re going to cross?” Tag asked, interrupting Chloe’s study of the sheet. “I’m not being funny, but dwarves aren’t as buoyant as other races.”

“And there I was thinking I was going to use you as a float.” Chloe grinned.

Ben shaded his eyes with one hand, scouring up and down the river. “As far as I can see, there aren’t any easy ways to cross, not without searching for a bridge of some sort.”

“What about a boat?” Gideon suggested.

“Oh, sure,” Tag retorted. “Let me just pull this canoe out of my pocket, and we’ll be well on our way.”

“I’ve got a level in Swimming,” Chloe said, dipping her toe into the water. “Maybe I can swim across? The water doesn’t look like it’s too fast. If someone has a length of rope, we can tie it around my waist and I could fix it to something on the other side. Then you guys can get across.
