Subject: Through mud an' mire, through rain an' fire...

A large cart squeaks to a halt in front of the inn, gaily-colored pennants fluttering in the storm-driven wind as the faded lettering on its side is dampened even more by the spilling of the troupe's last flagon of cordial over the edge of the cart. A lanky, big-footpawed long-eared hare was trying to erect the cart's cover, failing miserably and tripping over everything in sight. Snupp, the hedgehog, put his head in his paws, giving Jaysoun, the hare, an exasperated look. Two burly otters unbuckled themselves from the front of the cart, where they had been pulling it through the sticky mud. Giving Jaysoun a paw, they hauled him upright and set to work, untying the rope which held the canvas down and stretching it over the metal rings which made the roof of the cart. Jaysoun poked his head out, noticing the sign.

"Wot ho, a blinkin' inn!! Jus' our blinkin' luck, wot!! C'mon, troupe, get yore tails movin' an' let's go an' perform, an' get some flippin' dinner in th' process!"

Ikye and Rigg, the two otters, helped the rest of the troupe out of the cart. There was Snupp, the hedgehog, Jain the mousemaid, and Flyp and Flye the two acrobatic squirrelmaids. Last was Sequoia, the large badger who needed no help at all to get out of the cart.

Entering, Jaysoun announced in his best stage voice:

"Preeesenting, theee one, theeee only, Spectaculare Travelling Mossflower Troooooupe!!"
