?Tracking Song? (and other stories)

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Yes, Sandwalker travels to a cave on pilgrimage to meet some sort of wise
man.  Cave scenes also show up in Peace (Weer, his aunt, and Professor
Peacock rappel down to a cave with some ancient remains) and TWK book one
(the griffin etc., preceding the fight with the dragon).  I don't have any
answers on this, but I have noted a number of other common themes throughout
Wolfe's stories, particularly the inclusion of
demonic/vampiric/shapeshifting women who are occasional but not completely
trustworthy allies.

I believe this is my first post to the board, though I have lurked for some
time.  Hello, everyone!

Matt
