The Trail Goes Cold

seven_cities.30

The column has reached the rendezvous the guides described as the gateway to the country we were sent to find. There is no gateway. The guides have either lied or been lying to themselves; the survey of the surrounding hills shows no city, no smoke, no road, no sign that anyone has been here in living memory. Target Leader writes to the crown asking for instructions, then crumples the letter, since by the time it reaches a port the column will have made its own decision. There are two options: press on into the country regardless, on the off chance the city lies one valley further; or turn the column around and march home with what we have.
