The Smugglers of Ember Pass
adventure◐ MatureVesna took the money and started up the trail without a word. A deal was a deal. She'd haul the crates, collect the rest, and never see Doru again. The sled scraped over the first rise as the lanterns of the town shrank behind her.
Near the top, the sled hit a rock and a crate split open. Vesna froze. Inside, packed in straw, were rows of small sealed vials glowing faintly green. Stolen medicine, maybe. Or poison. She had no idea, and now she'd seen it.
What happens next?
1 ways forwardVesna packed the straw back over the vials, lashed the broken crate shut, and decided she didn't need to know. She hauled the sled the last cold mile and reached the drop point at dawn. Doru's partner checked the seals, paid her in full, and never noticed the crack. She took the money and left the green glow behind for good.
