Tomas' breathing was now coming short and hoarse, his body heavier and harder to carry for the bounty hunter, Jrace Bresinger. Already he'd had to stop once to catch his breath but now the river and it's great arching bridges were in sight. Bouyed up by the knowledge he wouldnt have far to go now he redoubled his efforts and pulled the merchant up the slope and towards the toll booths.
A watchman stepping out to greet them with a raised hand, "nobody goes any further without... hey, what happened to him?"
Jrace halted and managed to reply, "bandit's on the road. Was told there's no Shallyan shrine here, so we're going to the hospital."
Nodding with a frown the watchman didnt seem to be bothered by the news of brigands, "good cause, nobody passes here without paying the toll though. It'd be more than my badge's worth to let you by without."
Gawping at the fellow for a moment before remembering the necessary haste he pulled the required moneys from his pouch and handed them over. The watchman had the decency to at least wish him luck before they were off the bridge and again staggering onwards through the west side of the town.
