Among many others, a small oxcart arrived in Vallaki today. The hackman was a couple of heads shorter than an ordinary man, and wore a deep cowl. In the wagon itself were three figures more, all bundled in blankets: two small children, and a Barovian man attending to them. The little ones looked quite thin and anxious.
The wagon trundled towards the Residential District, and after, to the Warehouse District, sans cargo.
