We were two eight-days getting down from the mountains, taking it in stages easy enough not to founder our horses. The mules were better in the heights and took the down-gradient easily but Kyriala's mare picked up a stone and almost went lame. We shifted things around as best we could, putting Ky up behind Ailadas and re-packing things to let the mare be led unburdened to the next town.
