Emerald sticks his head outside and looks around. He hears what sounds like arguing a little way away, but he sees no pony around.

Emerald darts his head back in and goes to the table. There is a map here, and it seems to be of the "Witherwaters Kingdom". Well, good to know where he is, Emerald Jewel guesses. The letter contains summons for humanitarian aid to Trotton. Apparently she was stationed and sent from "Northpoint Guardpost, which unsurprisingly is just north of here.

Emerald turns to the mare's rucksack, and after glancing at the tent flap one more time rifles through the bag. It's mostly filled with clothes, but there is also a small knife, three bits, and a pencil and a notebook with torn out pages in here. Emerald contemplates taking the bits, but he doesn't have anything to hold them in. He'd either have to empty out the sack and take it probably.

What does Emerald do?
