Day 28

I wonder what we'll find when we get to Pon. Will there be a pile of stones for us to freely take from? Doubtful. After having time to think about it, I'm not sure there will even be any stones at Pon. Why should there be? There aren't any left at Old Traders' Village - Humen from cities in the West came and took them all long ago. Why wouldn't they have taken them from Pon, too, if there were stones there? Surely Pon is nearer to their cities than the Dwarven Mines; it is possible that Pon had all its stones taken away even before Old Traders' Village. Maybe we should have stayed in the village and prepared for the attack. We could have trained the people to fight and defend themselves. Instead, the two best fighters have gone on a quest to find some miraculous counter to use against the Elementals, and we have left everyone unguarded and vulnerable.
