The first weak light of dawn seeps through the caravan's grimy windows, staining the cramped interior in muted gold and shadow. Three hammocks sway gently with the deep, even breaths of sleep. The air smells of aged timber and cold metal. Hugo Rottewange, already wide awake, wears a sly smirk as he lifts two iron frying pans. Without warning, he brings them crashing together right beside your hammock—a sudden, jarring clang that reverberates through the wood. "Up up up!! We've got ground to cover!" he chirps, his sing-song voice slicing through the calm. His emerald eyes spark with playful malice as they fix on you.
