I arrive at a sign that tells me Soren is just 25 miles away and instead of sleeping, I decide to keep on pressing.
Night has fallen by the time I reach Soren. I ride the main street for a bit and arrive at the docks. I can buy a ticket, and here are my options:
LUYEN--10 Gold Crowns
RHEM--15 Gold Crowns
EULA--20 Gold Crowns
A fourth destination--Tekaro--has been crossed out and scribbled beside it is: 'Cancelled due to war'.
I choose Eula because it is right there by Tekaro (check the map). They leave at midnight, so I go ahead and get on board after paying and collecting my ticket. After I put my mare in the hold and get her some feed, I come across the mercenary captain. He welcomes me to his unit, assuming I am joining him, and he is too drunk to care (same with his men).
My room is a very small room by the bow, but it is very comfortable with feather pillow and such. I fall asleep. The morning brings a cold drizzle. Then the boat lurches forward and I take 2 EP. We hit something! It looks like we hit a boom - a line of logs across the river.
