Our fourth cache had rolled down further than expected, settling in a depression near the pond's deepest point. Thankfully it didn't take too long to actually trace its path and I got it to drier land easily enough.
The fish I threw was even larger than I'd estimated - a beautiful 'northern pike' with distinctive markings and probably more than ten pounds of fresh catch. It reminded me of… what I believe would be similar to 'carp' here, that were stocked in the royal garden's pond.
"I'd always wanted to eat another one of those, but I don't think the Queen Mother would have believed it was not me who poached it again."
I still have many hours to go on the Task and the rain looks like it might pick up for a while… so it might be a good idea to take a longer break than I did after the ravine. All in all, not bad for a morning's work? Not that I've ever… 'worked'.
