I want more information about how Halt smuggled TWENTY PONIES all the way from the Eastern Steppes back to Araluen
Like we know he nearly got caught when a nanny goat started eating his hair, but what about the rest of that journey? What was that like? All through Alpina and Gallica, “Don’t mind me, just passing through with my TWENTY PONIES”. Like whenever he stops in a village to restock his supplies or grab a bite to eat at a tavern for the long journey across both countries, there’s just twenty ponies tethered outside with Abelard trying to keep order
And how did he make it across the Narrow Sea? “Hello ship’s captain, yes I’m a grumpy Hibernian who absolutely cannot manage sea travel at all, can I get a ride back to Araluen?”
“Uh, I guess we have room, try and keep the upchucking to a minimum”
“Perfect. Also I’ll need cargo space for my TWENTY PONIES”
And then after getting some poor ship’s captain to agree to this he just sets off across Araluen, all the way to Saddler’s Farm - which, if we take Ruins of Gorlan at face value, is a day’s walk from Redmont, near the western border. “Oh look! It’s the Ranger Halt! Hello Ranger! And he’s got.. five, ten, fifteen…twenty ponies with him. Good heavens…”
Finally he arrives at Saddler’s Farm “Hello old bob, i’ve got the ponies you wanted”
I just imagine him having given them all names by now
“James, Russel, Tom, Henry, Trouble, Lester, Rufus, Crowley, Arthur, Pritchard, Frank, Oscar, Bob, Coffee, Benjamin, Gilan, Jack, Michael, that fat one is Arald, oh and that one’s just the worst, so I call him Ferris”
