Transcript
A forest gully runs between rocky slopes and trees, with a fallen pine across the path. Mara and Warden Voss approach it. Caption: Pine Gully. The only road north. Warden Voss: Perfect place for an ambush. Mara: Yes. It is. Kesh sits on the fallen pine holding a curved knife, with hooded figures carrying weapons among the trees and rocks. Kesh: Morning, courier! You left Hollowmere without saying goodbye. I was hurt. Mara: Kesh. I was hoping you'd stayed in that ditch.
