Opening Credits: Rawhide and Reasons

Definitely not the voice of Barry Campbell:

This entire situation has gone a tetch out of control for the SNAFU Posse. We've got a chance at rescuing somebody from the Hell Bovines right at dawn, which was about all the plan that Ranger Horn laid out before he got recaptured. We've got three likely barns to choose from, all made of stone, all showing a lot of heat in their vicinity even before the pre-dawn twilight.

We've got our suspicions as to those things that half-fiend dryad had to say. A smart soul would not take anything she said as gospel! Then again, there is no reason Scaevola Aemula would have had to lie in those circumstances. She was taking quite the personal risk to say anything to the Posse in the first place.

If, that is, she was being truthful about her troubles!

Scaevola Aemula dropped a hint that some kind of "work" will be happening at mid-morning, with a Plant Posse or a Ragwort Raiding Party full of plant monsters all heading eastward from Oatman Pass.

Did Scaevola Aemula have a reason to want the SNAFU Posse or at least the druid Jesse Devonshire to be at a certain place at mid-morning?

Did Scaevola Aemula have a reason to want Jesse to avoid that spot entirely?

That's going to be a problem for later today.

The SNAFU Posse snagged a few hours of shut-eye in the dark between Oatman Pass and the border of Whippetal Ranch.

Just now there's the faint promise of dawn past the rolling hills of the east.

To the west -- much closer at hand -- lurks the black shape of a gigantic stone barn.

moooOOOooooo
