	Chalker goes to the temple of Gauder and gives observance; he can feel that this temple is sacred to Gauder. Addressing the war god as he paces in front of the altar, he says, "I have a concern; it falls in your purview. I have a question about war. I think it's going to be a big war, and I want counsel."

Addressing the war god as he paces in front of the altar, he says, "I have a concern; it falls in your purview. I have a question about war. I think it's going to be a big war, and I want counsel." A priest with the build and demeanor of a military man approaches and says, "I sense you have a query for our Lord Commander." Chalker: "I'm about to start a war in the Calventine Empire, and I was trying to get some guidance." Priest: "How may I help you, my child?" Chalker: "This is above your pay grade. It'll be the Calventine Empire versus... I don't want to say." Priest: "War strengthens Erethel." Chalker: "No, it does not." Priest: "I'm sure the Lord Commander will honor your desire, though perhaps not at this time.... Warrior, you are a very strange man." With permission, Chalker and the priest read each other's auras. The priest is a tough, callous, dangerous man who has killed multitudes; he is devout to and blessed of Gauder. The priest blinks quickly and takes an involuntary step back. "You have been touched by many but blessed by none.... We can entreat him to grant you a visitation tomorrow at dawn." Chalker: "Believe me, if he desires it, he can always talk to me." Priest: "I will have the acolytes raise their prayers at our end-of-day devotions."

			The next morning, Change Time 6, the group sets out. Shawna has agreed to accompany them to Sapphire. In a caravan behind them, Shawna recognizes three mercenaries that she had helped put in prison ten years ago; they are disguised as merchants. One of them wears some kind of magic item to cover the brand he had received on his cheek marking him as a felon. Shawna and Chalker ride back, and while the false merchants try to bluff and bluster their way out, Shawna calls two of them by name. Chalker eventually lets them go with a warning.

			That evening they stop in a town called Verde. Shawna says there is a good road between Verde and Sapphire.

About four miles west of Winslow, Rory, Trace, Chalker, and Striker approach a deserted village. The aura of evil deeds is so palpable here that Rory shudders; he ''knows'' that people have died here, in fear and pain. Something big and bad must have slain them. Chalker remarks, "I wasn't expecting to talk to Aaoo so soon. It's the pain and insanity, not the death, that bothers me." Trace says that there is a gate between the old mill and what looks like a receiving building; the gate is 40 feet from the creek bank and 30 feet down. Chalker hears a faint splash from the creek.

Trace begins to Shape Earth; he feels a creepy, "squishy" taint to the mana here.

Chalker sees eyes glowing an eerie red in an upper window of the mill. He taps Rory's shoulder and points to the eyes, then waves at them. The mill's front door opens and emerging from it is a scarecrow, nine feet tall, glowing eyes, and ragged clothing. Chalker drops two coppers into his lantern.
