I thought the boneyard pass was safe, but "Lupa" has all trade routes in an iron grasp! They jumped out from behind a rocky pillar, rabid and wild. Trembling with rage. They recognized my face... found the "Nursery Supplies" in Surat's Rest. I knew they'd be my demise one day.

Catherine was right — there's no slipping through the new patrols. They are everywhere. They've confiscated almost all of my wares... At least I hid my chest before they caught me. But just how can I make it out of here now?
