Sunrise, the next morning.
Your party is standing out by the stables, waiting for the owner to bring you your horses. The villagers were happy to provide you each with a mount free of charge, for your trouble. Cromwell gives an exasperated sigh. "When the hell is he going to show up?" A couple seconds later, the rotund stable owner rushes over from behind the stables. "Here you go, heroes! I'll bring your mounts out one at a time. Which one of you is Blacke?"
"That'd be me."
(Blacke rolls a 4!)
"Excellent!" The man vanishes behind the stables for a brief moment, before returning with a cream-colored thoroughbred. "This should do just fine," Blacke says, as he looks his new steed over. "Says you! I don't want to ride on that thing," comes an irritated voice from Blacke's knapsack. "You're free to walk," Blacke replies curtly. "Fine, we'll take the horse," the knapsack grumbles.

The man disappears once more, calling out, "Which one of you is Cromwell?!"
"I am!"
(Cromwell rolls a 3!)
"What the hell is this?!" Cromwell's new horse, an old nag with a coat of black and a white stripe on the nose, looks like it hasn't seen a good brushing in ages. Cromwell reaches up to pet its snout. "Oh, I wouldn't do that if I were you, sir. Duchess has got a bit of the ol' devil in her, I always say." Cromwell scoffs. "It'll be fine, I'm real good with hor- Ouch! The damned horse bit me!" Duchess whinnies and stomps her hoof.
"And which of you is Dampe Pandion?"
"That'd be me."
(Dampe rolls a 6!)
Dampe's horse is a brown, muscular horse with a white stripe down its nose. One look at the creature shows that it was bred for war. "Fortuna has smiled upon me today, gentlemen." He pets its snout affectionately, and the horse neighs.
"And lastly, the blinder of wolves? Plor?"
"That's me."
(Plor rolls a 1!)
"Here you go, the best of the bunch!"
"Hee-haw!"
"That's not a horse!" Plor looks at the donkey standing in front of him. The creature seems to grin mockingly back at him. "He may not be very fast, but what he lacks in speed, he makes up for in spirit." Plor mutters a "thanks" before going back into the inn to grab his belongings.
