Although the carriage's warhorses were strong, and their endurance enhanced with magic spells, they were still overcome with fatigue sometimes. So, after every four or five hours of non-stop traveling, the three companions would take a break and rest.
They traveled during the day and rested in their tents at night, maintaining the horses' strength and good form as they traveled further away from Wissen Town.
Despite the heavy snowfall, the three companions still encountered mercenaries and merchants along the road from time to time.
A few enterprising fellows had established commercial trade between the still-developing Black Water City and Wissen Town, selling little toys to the Beastmen living along the Black Water lakefront in exchange for local specialty items.
