There in one corner lies the Estonian Bloodstone Goose Egg mentioned by the other players. He moves to examine it more closely and notices the translucent green shell is suffused with deep red speckles, giving it the appearance of tiny drops of blood.

QUACK! QUACK! [translation: Don't leave me here alone!]

*runs around in little circles*


Or is he alone? I'm having difficulties remembering which of the characters that have left...

Quack?

*grows desperate*

*remembers what the did*

*also tries to climb up on the egg to reach the logo, but has problems getting a good grip, web-footed as he is*

*makes several futile attempts*

*hoofbeats are heard outside as a horse pulls up*

*mounts up and looks up and down the road, then smiles mischievously and urges the mare on*

*the last rays of wine red light paint the clouds, then go purple and then dark*

*the only light left on the prairie is a glow through the bars of the jail windows*
