Thoronmir rode into the Rangers' camp early the next morning. He got off his horse and walked over to Thorgil's tent.
"Thorgil," said Thoronmir. "I have some news from the scouting mission that you might like to hear."
"Very well," replied the older man. "Let's hear your report."
"The hillmen have a fairly large encampment in the southwestern part of the hills. There weren't many warriors there, and I thought they might be spying on the village. I would have stayed longer, but one of the hillmen saw me and I had to get away."
"Spying, you say? That's what we'd been thinking all along," Thorgil said. "Maybe you should go to the settlement and help out the other two Rangers there. If the hillmen are spying on the settlement, they could use someone with your experience."
"Very well," said Thoronmir. "I'll leave this afternoon."
