Some of the road's ancient stones are sunken in a little towards the edges, while others are cracked or sticking slightly up in places, but aside from that it seems to be in relatively good condition. Tall boulders are lined up against the mountain wall to the east, as if they have recently been cleared off the road. To the north, the pass curves slightly, blocking any view of what lies there, while to the south it leads down back towards the city of Caerlon, its gleaming walls visible in the distance. ~ 0 C road D0 A curve in the pass makes it difficult to make out where the road leads. ~ ~ Z 0 19752 0 0 D2 ~ ~ Z 0 10900 0 0 S #19752 By the Village Gates~ A small wooden gate stands at the mouth of the mountain pass, guarding the entrance to the quaint little village to the north, though in truth with Caerlon so close by, the villagers have little need of it. The cobblestone road here is better kept than it is to the south, a sign of its frequent use. The gates are open, and just wide enough for a wagon or cart to pass through.

To the east stands a modest shop, the only such place in the entire village. A merchant's wagon is stopped before the shop, half-loaded with goods brought to the village for trade. Men and women occassionaly walk past you down the road, heading towards their fields to do farm work or going out to gather firewood. The village's atmosphere is calm and peaceful, and every passing villager greets you with an open smile. ~ 0 0 city E wagon merchant~ The owner of the wagon is out of sight.

Pale curtains hang by the windows, spread open, allowing the sunlight to stream through across the living room floor. A narrow hallway leads down towards several bedrooms, their doors closed. The kitchen is small, but wide enough to fit a decent-sized oak table.

A large bed with pale red covers is placed against the eastern end of the room, rising high above the floor. A large wardrobe, along with several chests around the room hold various articles of clothing, none of which appear to be particularly valuable. An intricately carved jewelry box is placed on a desk by the bed, easily the finest object in the room. ~ 0 D inside E wardrobe chests~ The wardrobe and chests are filled with expensive but useless clothes, the kind that would impress a villager but is too commonplace in larger towns and cities to be worth much. ~ D2 ~ ~ Z 0 19774 0 0 S #19764 Down the Village Road~ The path continues through the village, going north and south. Off to one side of the path stands a huge tree with low-hanging branches. Giant roots dig deep into the ground, and the size of the tree hints that it is truly ancient, and has likely stood here even longer than the village itself. A wagon lies off to the side, its broken wheel waiting to be repaired.

Weary but joyful-looking men and women look on and watch fondly, wiping sweat from their brows and heading back to work. A modest home stands to the north, its door and windows open to allow a fresh breeze to flow through it. To the east, a tall, two-story house stands, its brown tiles glittering under the sunlight. ~ 0 0 city E men women~ The men and women watch the children carefully as they go about their work, smiling at the children's joy and enthusiasm. ~ E children~ The children run around playing games, without a care in the world. ~ D0 The door has been left open, and smells of baking bread waft through it. ~ ~ ABZ 0 19766 0 0 D1 The mayor's house stands taller than any other building in the village but the inn. ~ ~ ABZ 0 19767 0 0 D3 The main road cuts through the village to the east. ~ ~ Z 0 19759 0 0 S #19766 Inside a Quiet Home~ The home here appears to be quite modest, with only a living area, kitchen, and two bedrooms making it up. The furniture appears to be sturdy and of good quality, but the craftsmenship is simple, purely functional. Sunlight filters in through the open windows, lighting up the floor and walls with its beams. The house appears to be empty at the moment, though a woman can be glimpsed through the back window taking down clothes from a line in the yard. ~ 0 D inside E woman~ She appears to be quite young, dressed in the ordinary clothes of the villagers. ~ D2 The open door leads back out onto the path that runs between several houses. ~ ~ ABZ 0 19765 0 0 S #19767 The Entrance to the Mayor's House~ The mayor's house is the largest home in the entire building, second only in size to the inn at the village's northern end. The furniture here is of higher quality than what's found in the surrounding homes, with more elaborate carving and darker, polished wood, though it is not much finer than could be expected in a village this size. Two wide double doors lead back out to the village road, while a large, white-painted staircase leads up to a hallway on the second floor.

Cabinets built into the wall are stocked with food, and a bowl of fresh fruit lies by the end of the counter. It doesn't appear as though anything is being cooked at the moment, though the large oven near the center of the room looks as though it has seen a lot of use. ~ 0 D inside E fresh fruit bowl~ Several apricots and apples have been left in a bowl on the counter. ~ E cabinets~ The cabinets are filled with dried fruits and vegetables, as well as a variety of nuts, some of which have obviously come from outside the village. ~ D1 The dining room lies beyond the doorway. ~ ~ Z 0 19770 0 0 D2 The main living area of the mayor's home lies beyond the door. ~ ~ ABZ 0 19767 0 0 S #19769 The Mayor's Personal Library~ The mayor's library is rather humble, though it houses more books than all the homes of the villagers combined. Most appear to be adventure stories, along with a few religious texts, though those are for the most part restricted to tales of the miraculous deeds of gods and priests. A leather armchair is placed against the southern wall, just beneath a wide window that allows a lovely view of the trees and flowers in the fields just outside. A weathered book has been left on the chair, the cover so worn with age that the title has been lost. ~ 0 D inside E book weathered~ {WThe book has been left open at what appears from the various notes in the margins to be a page that has some significance to its owner. {x {DThe Order of Talath lost its main temple in the town of Sirel when it was overrun by orcs in the Month of Winter, ca. 566 by the Shalin Calendar. Although some of the townsfolk stayed to rebuild their homes amidst the devestation, the majority of the town's inhabitants settled in the village of Caerlon, which had begun construction of stone walls to defend against further attacks. The Order lost a great number of its Knights in the attack, and was never able to fully recover. The temple at Sirel was never rebuilt, and its former champions found themselves scattered and isolated across the realm, fighting desperately to turn the tide of the war. Although the orcs were soon defeated, the Order of Talath had been dealt a mortal blow and lost its influence over the land, eventually disappearing altogether. What became of the mysterious leader of the horde as well as the treasures presumably looted from the temple has never been discovered, though many theories abound. ~ D0 A tall archway leads back north towards the entrance to the house. ~ ~ ABZ 0 19767 0 0 S #19770 The Dining Room~ The dining room is fairly large, though much of the space within it is taken up by the mohagany table at its center. A dozen chairs are placed around it, and dishes have been set in preparation for the next meal. The window by the northern wall allows plenty of light to fall across the room, though there are stand lamps at every corner to be lit when daylight fails. ~ 0 D inside E chairs~ Half a dozen of the chairs match the table, made of the same wood. The rest appear to be of similar quality, but they vary in the darkness of their wood. ~ E dining table~ The bit of carving along the edges makes it appear more delicate than it otherwise would for its size. It appears to be a decent table, nowhere near fine enough for a lord's mansion but surely the finest of its kind in the village. ~ D3 The door leads back to the kitchen. ~ ~ Z 0 19768 0 0 S #19771 In the Hallway~ A fine if somewhat old carpet runs across the hallway, a dark, rich blue where countless feet haven't worn it down. A potted plant stands by the top of the stairs, thriving and adding to the bright cheerfulness of the hallway's decoration. Doors stand to the north and south, leading to the guest room and the mayor's study. The hallway continues to the east, where a wide window lets light spill across the floor. ~ 0 D inside D0 A wooden door leads to the guest room. ~ ~ ABZ 0 19772 0 0 D1 ~ ~ Z 0 19774 0 0 D2 The mayor's study lies beyond the door. ~ ~ ABZ 0 19773 0 0 D5 The stairway leads back down to the entrance of the mayor's home. ~ ~ Z 0 19767 0 0 S #19772 The Guest Room~ The guest room is rather small, though there is still plenty of room to walk around. A large bed stands by the northern wall, beneath a wide window left open to allow a fresh breeze to flow inside. Paintings have been hung on the walls, depicting landscapes and scenes of daily village life. The entire room smells fresh and feels pleasantly cool, kept spotlessly clean even though no one appears to be staying here at the time. ~ 0 D inside D2 The doorway leads back out into the hallway. ~ ~ ABZ 0 19771 0 0 S #19773 The Mayor's Study~ The mayor's study is rather plain, with quiet, soft colours and few decorations to distract the mayor while he works. A single bookshelf is placed against the eastern wall, filled with ledgers and old records from the mayor's time in office. A simple wooden desk accompanied by a cushioned wooden chair is the only other furniture in the room. The desk is practically overflowing with papers, stacked so high that a single errant breeze would be enough to send them toppling. ~ 0 D inside E ledgers records~ Simple records of trade within the village, licenses handed out, birth and immigration, marriages and deaths. It seems the mayor keeps track of everything that goes on in the village. ~ E desk stacks papers~ The desk is filled with papers, most of them dealing with issues brought forth before the village council that require the mayor's final approval. ~ E chair~ The chair appears to be quite sturdy, though the cushions don't seem like they would be enough to provide comfort on a long day. ~ D0 The door leads back out into the hallway. ~ ~ ABZ 0 19771 0 0 S #19774 In the Hallway~ The wide open window allows light to flow through to light up the entire hallway, though several lamps placed in brackets on the walls are there to provide illumination when night falls or the sky is dark with storm clouds. A single door stands to the north, leading to the mayor's bedroom. A painting hung on the southern wall in bright, eye-catching colours attracts attention. ~ 0 D inside E painting~ The painting is of a temple on a tiny island. It is bustling with activity, with men in plate armor kneeling before an outdoor altar to offer prayers before hopping onto their horses waiting nearby. A village can be seen in the distance, before tall mountain peaks. There is something strikingly familiar about the whole scene, though you can't say you have ever been to that temple before. ~ D0 ~ ~ Z 0 19763 0 0 D3 ~ ~ Z 0 19771 0 0 S #19775 A Crossroad in the Village~ The streets in the village are teeming with life. Villagers walk past you, tending to their business, shouting greetings to each other and stopping every now and then to talk. Children play in the streets, laughing wildly, and women can be seen leaning out of their windows placing their laundry out to dry. The road continues, running between the thatch-roofed houses of the villagers, while a smaller path branches off westward, leading down towards the sound of running water. The sounds of chickens and geese can be heard coming from the north. ~ 0 C city E children~ They chase each other, weaving between adults who wag their fingers at them and then shake their heads, smiling. ~ D0 Animals graze along the village green. ~ ~ Z 0 19776 0 0 D2 The road continues towards the south, running town until it reaches the village gates. ~ ~ Z 0 19764 0 0 D3 ~ ~ Z 0 19788 0 0 S #19776 The Village Green~ On either side of the road here lies the village's common area, which the villagers can use to allow their animals a little extra space to graze. Chickens pick their way across the grass beside you, pecking at the ground, and several cows are grazing nearby. To the north the road continues through the green, gently climbing the sloping hill. ~ 0 0 city D0 The road cuts through the village green, leading up towards the village inn. ~ ~ Z 0 19779 0 0 D1 Chickens peck at the grass beneath them. ~ ~ Z 0 19778 0 0 D2 The road continues south, running between thatch-roofed houses. ~ ~ Z 0 19775 0 0 D3 Animals graze along the village green. ~ ~ Z 0 19777 0 0 S #19777 The Village Green~ The grass here is soft, and is coloured a bright, vibrant green. Sounds of talk and laughter drift across the field from the villagers walking nearby. Chickens and cattle move along the grass, some searching for food, others resting lazily in the sun. The sky is a clear blue, with only a few light wisps of white clouds. ~ 0 0 field D0 A large oak tree spreads its branches across the field. ~ ~ Z 0 19781 0 0 D1 The village road cuts through the green, running to the north and south. ~ ~ Z 0 19776 0 0 S #19778 The Village Green~ The grass here is strong and healthy, a vibrant green that seems to glow with life. Small wildflowers dot the field here and there, bright spots of blue and red and yellow, and a dozen colours in between. Several cows and a calf graze at the edge of the green, occasionally looking up at you unconcerned. The sounds of laughter and chatter drift down from a small hill to the north, where villagers seem to be erecting some kind of pole. ~ 0 0 field D0 Village girls are erecting a pole at the top of a small hill. ~ ~ Z 0 19782 0 0 D3 The village road cuts through the green, running to the north and south. ~ ~ Z 0 19776 0 0 S #19779 The Village Green~ The road slopes gently upward here, leading up to the very top of the hill. This being the highest point in the village, there is a great view of its houses and shops, as well as the trees and fields that lie beyond them. The stream to the west of the village can be glimpsed through the trees, its water rushing softly. The road continues north and south through the village green. ~ 0 0 city D0 The road continues northward, leading towards a small wooden bridge. ~ ~ Z 0 19780 0 0 D1 Village girls are erecting a pole at the top of a small hill. ~ ~ Z 0 19782 0 0 D2 The village road runs southward, heading towards the village gates. ~ ~ Z 0 19776 0 0 D3 A large oak tree spreads its branches across the field. ~ ~ Z 0 19781 0 0 S #19780 The Village Green~ Chickens peck at the ground beside the road, running away whenever you approach too closely, then cautiously returning to their spots after a few moments. Several villagers are on the road, carrying buckets of water to and from the well that can be seen to the west. The road runs northward, towards a wooden bridge that crosses over a large stream running across the village. To the south, the road cuts through the village green, making its way further into the village. ~ 0 0 city D0 A wooden bridge leads over the stream towards the village inn. ~ ~ Z 0 19786 0 0 D1 Patches of lovely blue flowers grow across the field to the east. ~ ~ Z 0 19784 0 0 D2 The village road cuts across the green. ~ ~ Z 0 19779 0 0 D3 The village well stands to the west, tall and ancient with a stone foundation. ~ ~ Z 0 19783 0 0 S #19781 The Village Green~ A tall oak tree spreads its branches across the field here, providing plenty of cool shade and a pleasant place to rest on the soft grass beneath it. A wooden swing hangs from one of the lower branches, swaying back and forth slightly in the breeze. Soft rustles can be heard from the leaves above as birds and squirrels hidden from view make their way from branch to branch. ~ 0 0 field E oak tree~ The oak tree looks ancient, with its enormous branches spreading out widely in every direction. ~ D0 The village well stands to the north, tall and ancient with a stone foundation. ~ ~ Z 0 19783 0 0 D1 The village road cuts through the green, running to the north and south. ~ ~ Z 0 19779 0 0 D2 Animals graze along the village green. ~ ~ Z 0 19777 0 0 S #19782 The Village Green~ A small hill rises here, at the top of which several young women are busy erecting a large wooden pole in preparation for a village festival. Their voices rise in song, occasionally broken by laughter and chatter, and their excitement over the coming celebrations is almost contagious. Several older women sit on the grass, smiling as they watch the younger ones and talking among themselves. ~ 0 0 field E pole~ The pole appears to be made of oak, and is about ten feet in height. The women are busy tying red ribbons to the pole, which stream with every light breeze. ~ E women~ The young women sing loudly, breaking into laughter as they go about their work. The older women smile and watch them, sometimes encouraging them to dance or singing the words to their songs along with them. ~ E young women~ They are all too absorbed in their own talk and laughter to notice your presence. ~ D0 Patches of lovely blue flowers grow across the field to the north. ~ ~ Z 0 19784 0 0 D2 Chickens peck at the grass beneath them. ~ ~ Z 0 19778 0 0 D3 The village road cuts through the green, running to the north and south. ~ ~ Z 0 19779 0 0 S #19783 By the Well~ The village well stands here, a stone structure with a wooden roof and a large pail attached to a rope and pulley. The stones are slick with water, fresh and cool from a deep underground source. This ancient well provides pure, clean water for the villagers, of which they are blessed with an abundance. The bottom of the well seems to be just out of sight, though something glitters at the bottom. ~ 0 0 field D1 The village road cuts through the green, running to the north and south. ~ ~ Z 0 19780 0 0 D2 A large oak tree spreads its branches across the field. ~ ~ Z 0 19781 0 0 S #19784 The Village Green~ A large patch of blue bell-flowers grows here, adding their sweet fragrance to the air. A soft breeze ripples across the grass, causing it to sway back and forth gently. The sounds of the village seem far off here, and a sense of peace and tranquility seems to have settled here. The faint sounds of rushing water can be heard coming from the north, where a small stream rushes by beneath a bridge leading up to the inn. ~ 0 0 field D2 Village girls are erecting a pole at the top of a small hill. ~ ~ Z 0 19782 0 0 D3 The village road cuts through the green, running to the north and south. ~ ~ Z 0 19780 0 0 S #19785 At the Bottom of the Well~ The air here at the floor of the well is winter cold, and it's not helped by the icey water at its bottom. You stand along the edge of the well, where the water is only three feet deep. Towards the center, the stone ground suddenly gives way and there's no telling how deep the black depths of the water lie. The large metal pail that the villagers use to pull up water is completely submerged, though you can see the rope connected to it rise up out of the water towards the opening of the well and the bright sky above. At the eastern edge of the wall, a small alcove seems to have been dug into the wall, the stones removed and the dark hard earth burrowed into. Gold coins and gems glitter as your light hits them, stashed into the small space. ~ 0 0 inside E gold coins gems~ Someone seems to have acquired a small hoard of treasure and placed it here at the bottom of the well. For whatever reason. ~ E alcove~ It appears as though stones have been pulled out from the well, and something has burrowed into the wall there, creating a small space for itself through the earth. Gems and gold glitter in a pile there. ~ D4 Skylight fails to reach more than halfway down the well, but it is still apparent from here how far up the exit lies. ~ ~ Z 0 19783 0 0 S #19786 Over the Wooden Bridge~ The wooden bridge appears to be fairly old, though it has obviously undergone repairs recently. The wood creaks as you pass over it, though it seems sturdy enough. It is just wide enough for a wagon to roll over with a foot to spare on either side. The stream runs calmly beneath, fed by a waterfall pouring out of the mountains to the east. To the north stands the largest structure in Sirel, the village inn. ~ 0 C city E waterfall~ You can hear the soft roar of the falls if you strain your ears, though you can see even from here that the falls aren't very large. ~ D0 The village inn lies directly north, at the end of the road. ~ ~ Z 0 19787 0 0 D2 The road leads down towards the village green. ~ ~ Z 0 19780 0 0 S #19787 Before the Inn~ At two stories high, and not very wide besides, this inn would be lost and forgotten in any city, but in Sirel it is the largest building to be seen. A faded wooden sign hanging above the doors swings and creaks in the wind, the words '{rThe Wayfarer's Retreat{x' inscribed upon it, beneath a drawing of a weary-looking traveler carrying a pack on his shoulder. The door is propped open, giving you a clear view of the inn's cozy interior. ~ 0 C city D0 The door is propped open, inviting you into the inn's cheerful interior. ~ ~ Z 0 19803 0 0 D2 A small wooden bridge stands above the stream. ~ ~ Z 0 19786 0 0 S #19788 A Path by the Stream~ This quiet, tree-shaded path runs between several of the village houses, heading eastward back towards the main road, and westward towards a small stream, where a small, crudely-constructed dock can be seen. Several wildflowers grow by the path, gathered in clusters in the grass. Birds flitter from tree to tree, filling the air with their songs, and occassionaly leaves can be heard to rustle as squirrels jump from branch to branch. ~ 0 C inside D1 ~ ~ Z 0 19775 0 0 D3 ~ ~ Z 0 19789 0 0 S #19789 At the Stream's Edge~ The small, tree-shaded path from the east stops right at the foot of the stream, next to a small, crudely constructed dock by its edge. The stream's water is clean and pure beneath the slight current that drags it southward, allowing a clear view of the rocks and plants beneath its surface. Fish can be seen darting back and forth between the rocks, only the sunlight glinting off their scales revealing their position. ~ 0 0 noswim D0 The stream's water is clear and pristine. ~ ~ Z 0 19795 0 0 D1 A tree-shaded path leads back towards the village. ~ ~ Z 0 19788 0 0 D2 The stream's water is clear and pristine. ~ ~ Z 0 19790 0 0 S #19790 A Quiet Stream~ The stream here curves gently around a small hill, covered in wildflowers and tall grasses. Tiny fish can be seen swimming back and forth just beneath the surface, flashes of silver and gold that reveals themselves whenever they are hit by the sun's rays. The bottom appears to be relatively deep, the rocks and weeds at its floor only visible because of the exceptional clarity of the water. ~ 0 0 noswim D0 The stream's water is clear and pristine. ~ ~ Z 0 19789 0 0 D3 The stream's water is clear and pristine. ~ ~ Z 0 19791 0 0 S #19791 A Quiet Stream~ The stream here curves gently around a small hill, covered in wildflowers and tall grasses.

A small forested island stands to the south, tall trees growing close together and preventing you from making out what lies beyond them. ~ 0 0 noswim D0 The stream's water is clear and pristine. ~ ~ Z 0 19791 0 0 D2 A heavily forested island lies directly to the south. ~ ~ Z 0 19793 0 0 S #19793 A Forest on the Island~ Trees grow thickly on this island, making it difficult to progress forward. The forest floor is covered with ferns and wildflowers, as well as the great roots of the trees, though even these are not enough to hide the weathered stone that often juts out from it. Though there's no telling what the ruins once were, it is quite obvious that at one time in its history this island was not so overgrown. The sounds of the stream can be heard coming from the north, a reassuring presence that helps assuage any fears of getting lost in the forest's maze. ~ 0 0 forest D0 The sounds of the stream can be heard to the north, though trees block your view. ~ ~ Z 0 19792 0 0 D2 It's impossible to see anything clearly through the trees. ~ ~ Z 0 19794 0 0 S #19794 A Shrine Amidst the Ruins~ The ruins of what was once obviously a great structure lie scattered across this forest clearing, much of the stone buried deep into the earth, or crushed to pieces and battered by the elements. Vines and weeds grow among the ruins, climbing the broken statues and threatening to pull down the few scattered walls that remain standing. The forest itself seems to be slowly but surely encroaching on the ruins, threatening to swallow them up completely. Somehow, miraculously, a small altar rests among the ruins, untouched. Several fresh wildflowers have been left upon the altar, an offering to unknown gods or spirits. ~ 0 0 field E wildflowers~ Several wildflowers have been placed on the altar as an offering. They are quite lovely, with blue petals contrasting nicely to the dark green stem. Their scent is sweet, almost like vanilla.

Even the warm sun above can do little to warm the chilly water whose source lies buried deep beneath the mountains surrounding the village.

Paintings are hung on the wooden walls, depicting landscapes and scenes of daily life, all in bright, vivid colours. Matching tables and chairs of deep, red wood are placed about the common room, their tall backs sturdy despite their apparent age. Most of the tables are unoccupied during the day, as the hard-working villagers make up the majority of the inn's clientele, apart from the few merchants and travelers who rent rooms upstairs. ~ 0 0 inside D0 The door to the kitchen can be seen on the northern wall. ~ ~ Z 0 19806 0 0 D1 A fresh breeze blows in through the open window to the east. ~ ~ Z 0 19804 0 0 D2 A wooden door leads back outside. ~ ~ Z 0 19787 0 0 S #19804 A Table by the Window~ Light falls across the table placed beneath a large open window.

Chairs have been arranged by the fire in a semi-circle, set out for the patrons to gather and tell tales by the flames, though no stories are being told at this time of day. ~ 0 0 inside E fireplace~ Nothing burns in the fireplace now, and it appears to have recently been cleaned, the ashes cleared out. ~ D2 Several tables are pushed up against the wall, beneath a large open window. ~ ~ Z 0 19804 0 0 D3 A modest collection of books have been placed on a bookshelf. ~ ~ Z 0 19806 0 0 S #19806 By the Bookcase~ A small bookshelf stands by the western wall, filled with a modest collection of books. The books here seem for the most part to be works of fiction, telling tales of heroes and travelers, lords and kings, tales that the villagers love to hear, though the settings are far removed from their own lives. A single leather-bound book on the medicinal properties of herbs catches your eye, strangely out of place among the rest. To the north, a door stands open, and sweet smells of roasting meat and vegetables drift through from the kitchen. ~ 0 0 inside E book medicinal herbs~ {gThe book appears to be fairly old, and is worn from years of being handled by the inn's customers. Though not very thick, it appears to have been written by someone who has spent a great deal of time in Sirel. Almost every variety of plant that can be found near the village has been recorded. {WAlodil's Tears{x {GThis lovely blue flower is found only in Sirel. It must be in close proximity to water to thrive, and does especially well in forests. The locals claim it has special curative properties, specifically in regards to poison, but my experiments have not found them effective against the more common varieties of poison, and I have been unable to confirm their claims. The flower has traditionally been used as an offering to the gods, and is often present in religious ceremonies. The flower has blue petals, with a strong, thornless stem, which typically grows up to five leaves in addition to the petals. The scent is pleasant but weak, somewhat similar to vanilla. {WBlue Bell-Flowers{G This variety of the bell-flower, common to mountain regions, grows to approximately six inches in height. It is known for its sweet scent and vibrant blue colour, and it is traditionally woven into a garland to be worn in a bride's hair in traditional village weddings. When ingested, the flower has been known to give a boost of energy, though the blindness that often accompanies it has long dissuaded the curious from experimenting with these properties. {x {gThe book continues on, running through every plant, flower and herb alphabetically, though there seems to be little enough of interest to justify reading the entire thing.{x ~ D0 A staircase can be seen at the end of a narrow hallway. ~ ~ Z 0 19807 0 0 D1 Several chairs have been arranged in a semi-circle before the fireplace. ~ ~ Z 0 19805 0 0 D2 The entrance to the inn lies to the south, beyond some tables. ~ ~ Z 0 19803 0 0 S #19807 The Narrow Hallway~ The hallway is rather narrow, the wooden walls so close together that two men standing side by side would find their shoulders brushing against each side. To the west, a tall door leads down towards the cellar, cool air escaping through its cracks, while to the east the kitchen door stands open, mouth-watering aromas escaping through into the hallway. A staircase set into the northern wall leads up to the second floor, where the guest rooms are located. ~ 0 C inside D1 Pleasant smells drift out from the kitchen. ~ ~ Z 0 19810 0 0 D2 The common room lies directly to the south, and the entrance to the inn can be seen still further. ~ ~ Z 0 19806 0 0 D3 A narrow hallway lies just outside the kitchen door. ~ ~ Z 0 19808 0 0 D4 ~ ~ Z 0 19811 0 0 S #19808 Before the Cellar~ Cool air drifts up from the cellar, and what lies down the stairs is shrouded in pitch darkness. The voices of the inn's patrons can still be heard here, laughing and calling out for more food. Delicious smells of meat and vegetables drift down the hallway through the kitchen's open door, attesting the the cook's skill. ~ 0 0 inside D1 A narrow hallway runs between the kitchen and the cellar. ~ ~ Z 0 19807 0 0 D5 A staircase leads down into the cellar, darkness awaiting at its bottom. ~ ~ Z 0 19809 0 0 S #19809 The Cellar~ Wine casks and barrels of ale are lined up against the walls, the markings they bear announcing they have been imported from Caerlon. Several shelves are stocked with dried meats and vegetables, carefully wrapped and covered to preserve them. The air here is quite cool, and though there are several lamps placed about the cellar, none are lit and there is no light here save your own. ~ 0 0 inside D4 A staircase leads back up to the well-lit hallway. ~ ~ Z 0 19808 0 0 S #19810 The Kitchen~ With only the innkeeper's wife and daughters to cook the meals at this time of day, the kitchen is not the scene of chaos found in city inns, though things do seem to be a bit hectic as they move about trying to get the mid-day meals prepared. A large oven is set against the southern wall, smells of fresh baking bread filling the kitchen with a sweet scent. Several dishes on a table by the door appear ready to serve, fresh vegetables piled on thick cuts of meat, all looking very appealing. ~ 0 0 inside E dishes~ Expertly prepared by a fine cook, they all look quite delicious. ~ E oven~ Bread can be seen baking inside, filling the kitchen with a pleasant aroma. ~ D3 ~ ~ Z 0 19807 0 0 S #19811 The Second Floor Hallway~ The hallway here is a little wider than the one downstairs, with room enough for small tables to be placed along its length, holding vases and flowers to add a little colour to the surroundings.

At the far end of the hallway, an open window spills light across the floor, illuminating the simple blue carpet that covers it.

The room is simply decorated, with a bed pushed up against the wall, a wash basin with a mirror by the door, and a small closet to stash belongings. Soft muffled voices can barely be heard coming from the common room below, though occasionally an outburst of laughter rings clearly in your ears. ~ 0 0 inside D2 The door leads back out into the hallway. ~ ~ Z 0 19811 0 0 S #19815 A Room at the Inn~ The room here looks to be occupied, the closet filled with clothing sized for someone of very small stature, possibly a child. The bed is unmade, the covers half trailing over the edge of the bed onto the floor. The window is open, though the breeze that flows through it does little to dispel the strong smell of alcohol that permeates the room. ~ 0 0 inside E bed~ The bed cover has a large, mysterious stain on it.

The window on the northern wall is open, and the slight breeze that flows in keeps the room fresh and cool. The floor creaks slightly as you step over it, and the door hinges squeak a little whenever it is opened or closed, but aside from that, this room seems to be well kept. ~ 0 0 inside D2 The door leads back out into the hallway. ~ ~ Z 0 19812 0 0 S #19818 The Innkeeper's Daughter's Room~ Sunlight spills through the window, golden rays illuminating a floor littered with toys and dolls. A small bed is pushed up against the wall beneath the window, sized for a child. A shelf on the western wall holds still more dolls, carefully arranged to face outward, as if keeping watch over the room. A tall mirror stands opposite the shelf on the eastern wall, catching your eye. ~ 0 0 inside D2 The door leads back out into the hallway. ~ ~ Z 0 19813 0 0 S #19819 The Wanderer's Room~ The windows here are shut tight, the curtains drawn closed so that hardly any natural light falls across the room. Red candles do little to dispel the oppressive atmosphere of the room, their flames barely able to dispel the shadows that almost seem to have a life of their own. The bed has been pushed up against the wall in a corner of the room, the floorboards where it used to be placed a lighter shade than the rest. In the very center of the room, a large circle has been drawn in powder on the floor, covered with strange mystical symbols that seem to hum and pulse with power. ~ 0 A inside E bed~ The bed looks rather comfortable, but the thought of sleeping in this room sends a shiver up your spine. ~ E circle mystical symbols~ The circle is drawn in a strange dark powder, perfectly round and accurate. The symbols inside seem to have a life of their own, and you immediately sense a great deal of power emanating from them, though it is difficult to tell if their purpose is for good or evil. ~ D0 The door leads back out into the hallway. ~ ~ Z 0 19813 0 0 S #19820 A Special Function Room~ The Night Faery comes here to wear all her things.
