You return to the army camp set up on the square in front of the palace. It is growing ever larger with those who are displaced. You find the tent your companions have taken up as the site of the new Broken Oak. Nothing remains of the old but the tavern's half-charred sign and its remaining patrons. Greycane, Midge and Bram beam as you enter the tent, any lingering feelings about your abandonment North of the river have been set aside as you see hope fill their eyes. Bram brings you a drink and you are relieved to have made it back as you unsling your packs and fall into your seats. You see your own relief magnified on the faces of those around you as they watch. That relief comes with great expectations as you can feel the weight of the city's hopes being placed squarely on your shoulders.
