315 A Friend For Mary
While the Festival was in full swing for the next few days, that was not all that was going on in the Fae Forest. The next morning, the Witches sent out a Riverboat and loaded a number of returning groups with supplies for their villages and set up a second visitor's center at the downstream side of the river, where it exited the forest's southeast corner.
That completed their plans to welcome visitors and receive the scouts from outside the Forest the same as they had been all winter, and with the river as an access point, they could conveniently stock the shacks with loads of supplies for the villagers to take home with them.
