== is on one of the paths around Hulneth ==
: says to ALL:.... ~Several carts, loaded by axes, saws, chains and hooks, creak and screeched as they are hauled by thralls towards the forest. Men of the island pace beside the wagons, joking and bantering in classic Torvie style. (Luckily enough, this does not include farting contest this time). Among Them walks a tall Man, less bulky than the Others, His face bearing bright red scars. The Man hums a quiet tune as the company makes its way towards the forest.~
