In the prison you hadn't much things to do so you followed with questioning Shasad.
- You said, you were passing by here with the caravan? - Shasan noddled - so the bridge on the direct road had been already ruined, when you were going to Aron-Iton. Why didn't you warn about it?
- Oh, to be honest, I didn't think it was important. When I was on my way to Akrulaban as a migrant, the brige was intact, but it was long time ago. The traders seemed to know about it and turned north without a stop.
- They risked traveling close to goblins. - you asked mistrustfully.
- They had a guard actually, also some more warriors joined them. Think they could care about themselves.
The rest of the day you spent talknig about world around: Shasad told that earlier she lived in Akazgtrid - a prosperous mountain home to the east from here. She also gave you a small geography lesson. You, in turn, told Shasad a story of Assarotung's fall and journey to Ladtakomage, but didn't mention about friendship with Likot and inprisoning in Arol-Iton for now.
All that time Tomod was sitting quietly. If even Shasad couldn't get him talking it is worthless for you to even try.

In the evening humans brought a bowl of pottage for everyone and escorted each of you "for a walk". The maypole was guarded by three at once, so there was no opportunity to escape. Then most soldiers dispersed to their homes and only watchmen left on the street. One of them was sometimes passing by with a torch near the wagon, where you were kept, and another one, looks like, was keeping watch on the bridge.
Suddenly i heard a rustle. It faded for a second, then the wagon sweng a little and you saw, with your accustomed to the darkness vision, the kobold's muzzle showed up in the window.
- Nux - you barely shouted but started to whisper in time - I wasn't hoping you come back.
- Quieth! - the kobold said excitedly - Who is sat dwarfess, can you tfust her?
- Yes, she is an ambassador from Akrulaban - you answered.
- And you are The Kobold-Guide? - Shasad asked.
- We haven't much time, the guard will came back soon. I have a message for that giant - Nux turned to Tomod - The Crow is back into the pack - the kobold said the memorized phrase - and I must go or I'm gonna be caught.
- Wait! - you snuggled to the bars simultaneously with the human.
- What does it mean? - you asked.
- You are from Thor? - Tomod added. His behaviour changed in a moment.
The Kobold looked around nervously, after making sure no northmen are around, he began his story.
- I was walking around for a while, wondering they can release you. I hid in long grass, waiting for the evening. That moment i was surrounded, never thought humans can ambush too. They started to interrogate me. I thought they'll skin me. But when they found out I was with dwarf that was cought by villagemen they deliberated and ordered me to deliver that message.
