#32600 Trampled Dirt Highway~ The road that led to McGintey Cove has been left behind, widened into what can only be called a highway. From the amount of tracks made from countless wagon wheels, hooves of horses and mules and the boots of hundreds of feet you can see that all different sorts have passed this way, probably more than once. You follow your gaze eastward along the highway, but you cannot see its end from where you now stand. ~ 326 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32601 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 25828 E info credits~ Army Perimeter by Kaan Zone 326 is linked to the following zones: 324 Army Encampment at 32610 (east ) ---> 32400 324 Army Encampment at 32640 (west ) ---> 32414 Links: 79e ~ S #32601 Trampled Dirt Highway~ The highway continues its way eastward toward what must be a very highly populated area. The cliff that the road ran along back near McGintey Cove has ended, the road veering slightly northward into the deep forest which will soon surround you. You sense nothing threatening in the direction you travel, however one can never be too sure. ~ 326 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32602 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32600 S #32602 Trampled Dirt Highway~ You are now entered into a forest area, thick with trees and bracken which would bar your way through the forest should you attempt to cut through without following a path. To the north of you is a trail into the forest, only visible because it is a break in the trees. The trail itself is nearly completelt covered in leaves. The highway continues to the east and west. ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32611 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32603 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32601 S #32603 Trampled Dirt Highway~ The highway heads east and west, veering slightly northward as it heads east. You are constantly amazed by the amount of traffic that passes by you, the dust from all the passing people almost annoying. To the north is a small, leaf covered trail heading into the thick forest. ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32612 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32604 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32602 S #32604 Trampled Dirt Highway~ The highway veers sharply northward here, heading deeper into the forest, away from what you know as the civilized world. There must be some sort of civilization, however, that this highway leads to, otherwise it would not be so well travelled. To the south is a small path in through the trees of the forest. ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32605 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32621 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32603 S #32605 Trampled Dirt Highway~ You may continue your way north or south along the highway. To the east is small dirt trail which runs in through the forest. ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32606 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32619 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32604 S #32606 Trampled Dirt Highway~ The way has been flooded over and turned to mud and sludge here, as a river flows through the center of the highway just north of here. From all the hooves and boots which have passed through the river and head south, the water has saturated into hard packed dirt of the highway and turned it to slippery mud. Best to watch your step. ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32607 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32605 S #32607 Trampled Dirt Highway~ A small branch of a local river runs through the highway, making it so that you will have to get your feet wet. It is not deep in the slightest, only a couple feet at the deepest point, however is does make you have to watch your step. The highway itself has been reinforced with a small stones so as not to wash out and turn into a gorge, however there are only so many stones and in many spots the road has turned to mud. You may head east or south along the highway or west onto a barely visible trail through the forest. ~ 326 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32608 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32606 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32615 S #32608 Trampled Dirt Highway~ The road is extremely wet and turned to mud in many places from the water which clings to most feet, wheels and hooves which pass this way and head east. Just to the west is a river crossing, north is a dirt trail through the forest, and east the highway continues. ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32618 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32609 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32607 S #32609 Trampled Dirt Highway~ You see a huge clearing in the forest just to east of here, what appears to be a valley, as you can see only blue sky past a certain point in that direction. Some sort of gate has been erected over the highway, disallowing passage eastward, apparently unless permission is given by the one or both of the two guards which stand at post in front of the gate. There is a small path through the forest just to the south of here. ~ 326 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32610 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32620 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32608 S #32610 Camp Perimeter~ You stand at the crest of a large valley which is home to a huge military encampment. It appears that this must be a well-funded installation as there are so many memebers of this army even at peace-time. You might head east into the valley to see what sort of army this is, if not for the gate blocking your way and the two guards which stand solemnly at attention awaiting to see your pass. You may walk the perimeter to the north or south, around the crest of the valley, but that might not be wise to pursue to any long-term degree as the archers towers that line the perimeter seem to have been designed for sight see-ers just like yourself. ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32648 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32400 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32647 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32609 S #32611 Leaf-Strewn Trail~ You are on a small path heading through the trees of a thick wood, one which is impassable in every direction except the way of the trail. You have this strange sensation of being watched, although how anyone could watch you through the tangled mess of these trees is beyond you. ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32613 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32612 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32602 S #32612 Leaf-Strewn Trail~ The forest seems to swallow you up alive, all sounds of wind and open air completely gone, just the creak and groan of the trees reach your ears now. You feel a strange presence, almost as if someone were watching you. Quite creepy. ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32615 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32603 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32611 S #32613 Leaf-Strewn Trail~ You can't shake the feeling that you are being spied upon, somehow someone or something is out there watching you, maybe from the trees somewhere... ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32614 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32611 D4 ~ ~ 0 0 32627 S #32614 Leaf-Strewn Trail~ The trail makes a turn here, heading south and east. You look one way then another, trying figure out who it is that you feel watching you. ~ 326 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32615 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32613 S #32615 Leaf-Strewn Trail~ You are completely swallowed up by the forest, almost all sunlight blocked by the tangle of branches overhead. Immediately upon entry into the trees, you sense a feeling of someone or something watching your every move. Possibly from the trees. ~ 326 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32607 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32612 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32614 D4 ~ ~ 0 0 32626 S #32616 Narrow Forest Trail~ The trail ends here, a huge tree blocking any further progress west and no other exits save the way you came apparent. You still cannot shake the feeling that someone is watching you - possibly from the trees... ~ 326 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32617 D4 ~ ~ 0 0 32628 S #32617 Narrow Forest Trail~ The path curves to the west, deadending just west of here at a large tree. To the south is the way back through the prickly bushes to the highway. ~ 326 0 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32618 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32616 S #32618 Narrow Forest Trail~ This slight trail through the forest would almost not be called a trail were it not for the half-foot wide swath of dirt that leads into the forest. The bush and bracken grows over into the pathway, scratching at your arms and legs as you try and pass through. You have this feeling, this sensation of being watched. ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32617 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32608 S #32619 Well Worn Path Through the Trees~ The forest swallows up most of the light and all of the air movement that you were getting accustomed to on the highway. The air now feels stagnant and claustrophobic, almost oppressive. To make things that much the worse, you get the strange feeling that someone might be watching you from a place of concealment. ~ 326 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32620 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32623 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32605 S #32620 Well Worn Path Through the Trees~ The forest swallows up most of the light and all of the air movement that you were getting accustomed to on the highway. The air now feels stagnant and claustrophobic, almost oppressive. To make things that much the worse, you get the strange feeling that someone might be watching you from a place of concealment. Possibly from up in the trees. ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32609 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32619 D4 ~ ~ 0 0 32625 S #32621 Well Worn Path Through the Trees~ This path seems to have been recently cleared and is well used by someone or maybe someones. The trees immediately surroung you, cutting off all feeling of being out in the open. You feel almost a presence, a sensation of being watched. ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32604 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32622 S #32622 Well Worn Path Through the Trees~ The path makes a turn, heading north and east from here. You still feel that strange feeling of being watched. Possibly up in the trees... ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32621 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32623 D4 ~ ~ 0 0 32624 S #32623 Well Worn Path Through the Trees~ The trail runs west and north from here through the thick forest. You cannot seem to shake the feeling that you are being watched. ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32619 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32622 S #32624 Lookout Post~ This is a small area, made from lengths of wood nailed into the tree limbs which support it. The wood has been painted in shades of green and browns to match the forest around it - from the ground, no one can see you. ~ 326 0 0 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 32622 S #32625 Lookout Post~ The wood that makes up this small platform in the tree has been painted in hues of green and brown to match the forest colors around it. From the ground, chances are that one would not be able to see this small post. ~ 326 0 0 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 32620 S #32626 Lookout Post~ This small wooden tree stand cleverly conceals the movement of the individual who rests up here. It has been painted in the green and browns of the forest, covered over by branches and leaves. ~ 326 0 0 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 32615 S #32627 Lookout Post~ This small wood platform was certainly not made for comfort, but concealment. How anyone could spend more than an hour cooped up in this spot is beyond you. Must be that 'high intensity' military training these guys get. ~ 326 0 0 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 32613 S #32628 Lookout Post~ This small post allows sight to the highway, making it easy for the person posted here to catch sight of any would-be attackers long before they can reach the main camp. The wood that this platform in the trees is made from has been painted brown and green to better blend in with the forest, making it virtually impossible for anyone to spot this post from the ground. ~ 326 0 0 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 32616 S #32629 Camp Perimeter~ You try to appear casual as you stroll around the perimeter, hoping that the guards in the turrets nearby don't decide to take you as a threat and use you for target practice. There is a small trail leading off into the forest to the west from here. ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32630 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32648 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32649 S #32630 Camp Perimeter~ To continue along the edge of the camp, you will need to turn east or south from here. To the north is a small trail into the surrounding forest and of course - although you cannot enter into it from here - there is one of the ever-present turrets just inside the barbed wire mesh . ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32652 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32631 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32629 S #32631 Camp Perimeter~ You continue along the rim of the valley, staying clear of the wicked looking barbed wire which threatens to snag your finery if you get too close. You can head west or north along the perimeter. ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32632 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32630 S #32632 Camp Perimeter~ You stand on the wagon trail which circles the entire valley - the barbed wire encircled camp and valley to the east and south, the forest to the north and west. A trail leads off into the woods just west from here. ~ 326 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32633 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32631 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32653 S #32633 Camp Perimeter~ You continue along the perimeter of the camp, trying to appear as nonchalant as possible so that the archers in the turrets do not take any true notice of you. To the east there is some sort of activity, lots of noise and movement. ~ 326 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32634 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32632 S #32634 Camp Perimeter~ The wagon trail leads east along the rim of the valley, encircling the entire thing. Just northeast of here you see an area which must be the logging crew's alotted space for supplying the troops with wood to build with, burn and use for general purposes. ~ 326 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32635 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32633 S #32635 Camp Perimeter~ You may follow the wagon trail along the perimeter of the camp or leave the trail to enter into the small logging area that the army uses to supply itself with wood. ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32670 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32636 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32634 S #32636 Camp Perimeter~ The wagon trail makes a bend here, following along the valley edge, the barbed wire as tall and wicked looking as ever. You can see to the north and east entryways into the logging area for the army, where a frenzy of activity seems constant, foremen shouting orders of the hack and slash of axes. ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32635 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32637 S #32637 Camp Perimeter~ The trail runs along the edge of the valley north to south. You are continually amazed at the sheer immensity that this army exhibits, especially viewed from this height. The forest surrounds the valley from every direction, small trails leading from this wagon trail every now and again. ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32671 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32638 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32636 S #32638 Camp Perimeter~ You may continue along the perimeter north to south or head off east into the woods, where a small trail cuts into the thick wood. ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32637 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32660 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32639 S #32639 Camp Perimeter~ You may continue north or south along the perimeter. Beware the looming turrets which never seem far enough away... ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32638 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32640 S #32640 Camp Perimeter~ It appears that the main highway simply left off at the valley's edge on the opposite side of here and started right back up on this side, heading off east into the forest, wide and hard packed as it is on the other end. There is a gate here which would lead into the camp, however it appears to be in some disuse, locked and shackled so as not to allow a way through. ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32639 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32677 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32641 D3 ~ gate~ 2 0 32414 S #32641 Camp Perimeter~ The wagon trail runs along north and south along the valley's edge, along the barbed wire which encircles the entire valley as well. A small path leads off into the thick woods to the east. ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32640 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32663 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32642 S #32642 Camp Perimeter~ The wagon trail makes a turn - as does the barbed wire, following along the edge of the valley. A small trail leads south from here into the woods. ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32641 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32659 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32643 S #32643 Camp Perimeter~ You may travel east or south along the wagon trail which encircles the camp. Caution is advised to a large degree along this pathway, as any lingering could result in the loosing of arrows from the guards in any of the many turrets which surround the camp. ~ 326 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32642 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32644 S #32644 Camp Perimeter~ The wagon trail curves north and west along the edge of the valley, giving you a wonderful vantage point to look at the whole of the army. It is staggering, the number of men in this outfit, at least judging from the size of the encampment. ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32643 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32645 S #32645 Camp Perimeter~ The wagon trail runs along east and west past one of the many guard turrets here. The forest to the south of you is thick and impassable, at least through ordinary means, so your choices are limited to that which the road offers. ~ 326 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32644 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32646 S #32646 Camp Perimeter~ The wagon trail runs along the rim of the valley, turning north and east with the barbed wire. To the south a small trail leads off into the thick woods, probably one of many which run through these thick woods. ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32647 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32645 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32654 S #32647 Camp Perimeter~ You follow along the perimeter of the camp, a wide wagon trail which encircles the entire valley. A barbed wire mesh runs along the roadside, preventing entry into the valley through conventional means. One could probably pass through the barbed wire with a small scattering of abrasions, but not before archers and crossbowmen from the guard turrets which also line the road, cut one down while flailing in the wire. Probably it is best to follow along the road and seek other means of entry. ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32610 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32646 S #32648 Camp Perimeter~ The barbed wire mesh which encircles the whole of the valley give you pause to think that maybe you had best gain entry through civilized means rather than trying to force your way through and risk getting cut or hurt on the wire. Of course, getting cut on wire would actually pale in comparison to getting shot with an arrow or bolt from one of the guard turrets which line the crest of the valley. ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32629 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32610 S #32649 Forest Path~ The forest cuts out all sounds of the army, immediately and completely. The path heads north deeper into the forest or east back to the wagon trail. ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32650 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32629 S #32650 Forest Path~ You stand in the depths of this forest with the oddest feeling that someone or something seems to be watching you. Perhaps from the trees... ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32651 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32649 D4 ~ ~ 0 0 32669 S #32651 Forest Path~ The trail turns east and south from here, the creak old branches and the sway of the leaves as they ride on the currents of the wind high above all you hear. You cannot shake the feeling of being watched, though. ~ 326 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32652 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32650 S #32652 Forest Path~ The path runs through the forest, branching in a number of directions here. The feeling that you are being watched is stronger than ever. Possibly from the trees... ~ 326 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32653 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32630 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32651 D4 ~ ~ 0 0 32668 S #32653 Forest Path~ The sounds of the army and the people in the valley are completely swallowed by the looming trees of this thick forest. You feel immediately isolated and alone, and very vulnerable. In fact, you could almost swear that you were being watched. ~ 326 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32632 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32652 S #32654 Path Through the Trees~ As you leave the open air of the wagon trail behind and enter into the forest, you are immediately struck by the silence that the forest has captured. With the foliage so thick, no sound travels through the trees at all, save for the occasional creak of a tree as it sways or the skitter of a chipmunk. A strange feeling of being watched also pervades the area. ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32646 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32656 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32655 S #32655 Path Through the Trees~ This is a dead-end in the trail, best to just head back toward the wagon trail. Especially now that the sensation of being watched is stronger than ever. Kind of creepy. ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32654 D4 ~ ~ 0 0 32665 S #32656 Path Through the Trees~ The path heads east and west throught the trees, the feeling that someone is watching always just behind you or over your shoulder. ~ 326 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32657 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32654 S #32657 Path Through the Trees~ The path heads east and west throught the trees, the feeling that someone is watching always just behind you or over your shoulder. ~ 326 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32658 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32656 S #32658 Path Through the Trees~ The forest itself seems cheery enough, although a bit overgrown so as to prevent any progress save that offered by the trail. However, you get the strangest feeling that you are being watched, perhaps from the trees... ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32659 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32657 D4 ~ ~ 0 0 32666 S #32659 Path Through the Trees~ The path leads through the trees deep into the forest. You may head south deeper into the trees or north back out onto the wagon trail. ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32642 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32658 S #32660 Faint Path Through the Forest~ This seems to be more of a deer run than a path, although upon inspection of the trail, you do see the mark of booted feet having traveled this way. The forest immediately surrounds you, placing you in an entirely different surrounding that of what you grew accustomed to along the wagon trail. ~ 326 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32661 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32638 S #32661 Faint Path Through the Forest~ The path turns south and east from here, south leading deeper into the forest. You have the strangest feeling, almost as if you were being watched... ~ 326 0 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32662 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32660 S #32662 Faint Path Through the Forest~ The path branches here, heading north, south, and east. The feeling of being watched is as strong as ever. ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32661 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32664 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32663 S #32663 Faint Path Through the Forest~ You are immediately swallowed up by the forest, all sound and feel of open air has been replaced by a stuffy, isolated feeling. The trail heads north or back west onto the wagon trail. ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32662 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32641 S #32664 Faint Path Through the Forest~ You have reached a dead-end in the path. Your only choice is to turn back the way you came, the forest is just simply too thick to pass through without having a trail to follow. You feel eyes upon you as you turn around and prepare to head back the way you came. Perhaps someone in the trees...? ~ 326 0 0 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32662 D4 ~ ~ 0 0 32667 S #32665 Lookout Post~ You stand in the tree on a small wood platform. It has been painted and hidden so as to bland in with the forest surroundings, quite skillfully, actually. ~ 326 0 0 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 32655 S #32666 Lookout Post~ This small area in the tree has been painted and concealed to hide its location from any would-be attackers on the encampment. It seems to work pretty well, too! ~ 326 0 0 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 32658 S #32667 Lookout Post~ This small wood platform has been concealed so as to blend in almost perfectly with the trees of the forest. From below, no one would ever suspect that this small outpost existed. ~ 326 0 0 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 32664 S #32668 Lookout Post~ The boards of this small platform have been painted in forest hues to conceal it that much the better. Branches and leaves have been draped over the tops of the post to give it a natural look. From below, no one would suspect a thing. ~ 326 0 0 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 32652 S #32669 Lookout Post~ This small post has been cleverly painted in hues of green and brown so that passerbys in the forest below might not notice its existance. ~ 326 0 0 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 32650 S #32670 Logging Area~ You stand amidst an array of stumps and burnt grass, piles of timber lying everywhere. At the edges of the area, where the army has not yet gone into to cut down these trees, lies stacks and stacks of shorn tree trunks, the limbs and bows all cut from them to form perfect logs. ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32675 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32671 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32635 S #32671 Logging Area~ You walk among the broken tree stumps, the idea that where you now stand was once a strong, thriving forest which towered high above your head only a vague realization. It is almost impossible to believe that there were ever trees here, even though the litter of stumps all over the ground tells otherwise. ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32674 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32672 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32637 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32670 S #32672 Logging Area~ You stand amidst an array of stumps and burnt grass, piles of timber lying everywhere. At the edges of the area, where the army has not yet gone into to cut down these trees, lies stacks and stacks of shorn tree trunks, the limbs and bows all cut from them to form perfect logs. ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32673 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32671 S #32673 Logging Area~ The trees here have been cut recently, you can still smell the drying sap in the air and the dust that the axes create when striking the trees so hard. You see just north of here an area where it appears the army has cut into within the last month or less - it does not seem as finalized of an area as the rest of this does. ~ 326 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 32676 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32672 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32674 S #32674 Logging Area~ The neat rows of logs end just north of here, where the forest still stands strong and thick, where the army has not yet worked their way into. ~ 326 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32673 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32671 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32675 S #32675 Logging Area~ You stand at the northwest corner of the area that has been cleared away from the forest by the army's loggers. Neat rows of logs twice as tall as you line along the forest's edge to your west, unbroken forest to your north. ~ 326 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32674 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32670 S #32676 A Large Stump~ This small area holds only one single stump. This would be odd in itself since the area al around it is so filled with trees, but the stump itself is as big around as a house. It appears that the tree that used to stand here was most probably one of the oldest in the forest and because of its immensity kept the area around from growing up too much, its roots alone must have crowded any other growth away. ~ 326 0 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 32673 S #32677 Wide Trail~ The trail picks up from the wide trail at the other side of the valley, just as if there were no huge camp seperating the two sections of road. This side seems just as well traveled as its western counterpart, wagon tracks and hoofprints galore. The camp is off just west of here, the road follows through the forest to the east. ~ 326 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32678 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32640 S #32678 Wide Road~ The road continues through to the east and west. Off to the east you see the faint sheen of smoke on the horizon, as is common with most large towns. To the west is the encampment of the Eastern Army. ~ 326 0 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 32679 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32677 S #32679 Wide Road~ The forest is beginning to thin somewhat, the trees becoming more sparse giving way to small fields of tall grass and sporatic copses of trees. The signs of traffic are becoming more and more abundant the farther to the east that is traveled. ~ 326 0 0 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 32678 S $~
