A Scraggly Trail~
|
||
|
|
This trail slopes up and away from the main road to
|
||
|
|
the west. At points the trail seems to fade into
|
||
|
|
obscurity against the grey stone and near-grey mountain
|
||
|
|
grass prevalent here. The trail leads generally eastward
|
||
|
|
and up higher into the rocky ground. There is a sign
|
||
|
|
here, seemingly out-of-place in this rough country.

A Scraggly Trail~
|
||
|
|
What could barely be called a trail leads west back
|
||
|
|
down the mountainside, and down into a very small valley
|
||
|
|
where a small house sits in the middle of a well-groomed
|
||
|
|
yard. The door to the house is open and inviting,
|
||
|
|
welcoming you for a visit.

A Groomed Path~
|
||
|
|
You are standing in the western end of a very, very
|
||
|
|
small valley, just about room enough for the one house
|
||
|
|
standing to your east. You can see from here that the
|
||
|
|
door to the cozy cottage is open and inviting, but the
|
||
|
|
interior seems very dark. A path bordered by shrubberies
|
||
|
|
leads up to the structure, and ends where you are
|
||
|
|
standing; right by the easiest path back up into the
|
||
|
|
mountains.

Outside A House~
|
||
|
|
The path you are on leads from the front door of the
|
||
|
|
cottage to your east, to the edge of the small valley
|
||
|
|
to the west. The building seems quiet...almost too
|
||
|
|
quiet. A small voice in the back of your head, the
|
||
|
|
same voice that has saved your life on countless
|
||
|
|
occasions, seems to be telling you that something is
|
||
|
|
very, very wrong here.

Devastation greets your eyes.
|
||
|
|
The forge has been blasted apart, along with most of
|
||
|
|
the back door. Hammers, tongs, and anvils lie about in
|
||
|
|
one gigantic mess, and the smith's bed smoulders yet.
|
||

This place has been utterly wrecked and blasted apart, by
|
||
|

more than one man you would think from all the tracks in
|
||
|
|
the dust...

Gabadiel's masterwork: a sword of unequalled power, and two

swords that came before, discarded as 'Not quite what I was

|

of any swords. You think you may have a motive now...

A Small Garden~
|
||
|
|
This garden was probably once kept orderly and weedless.
|
||
|
|
Unfortunately, it seems someone has been careless with a
|
||
|
|
fireball. There is nothing here now but blast-marks and
|
||
|
|
ashes, and the remains of a trail leading to the east edge
|
||
|
|
of this tiny valley.

Mountain Ridge~
|

You are standing on a ridge in the mountains, just east
|
||
|
|
of a very small valley. You spot a tiny cottage sitting
|
||
|
|
in the center of the valley, and the ridge continues
|
||
|
|
south. Looking at the sheer drops to the north and west,
|
||
|
|
you consider not taking those directions.

The Mountain Ridge~
|
||
|
|
The mountain range continues north from here, and
|
||
|
|
widens out into a small plateau just to your south. Going
|
||
|
|
east and west from here would be a bad idea, considering
|
||
|
|
the steepness of the drop. From this height, you have a
|
||
|
|
fairly good panoramic view to the south, including what
|
||
|
|
appears to be a small mountain village to your south and
|
||
|
|
west, and a tall, ominous peak westwards from here.

You are standing on a small plateau in the mountains,

just south of a ridge that leads northwards through the
|
||
|
|
rocky area. To the east, south, and west are gentle
|
||
|
|
slopes leading down into different areas of the mountains.
|
||
|
|
A giant, dark peak looks down over you to the west,
|
||
|
|
looking quite spooky indeed!

above, you see a plateau at the southern end of a long
|
||
|
|
mountain ridge. Surpisingly, there seems to be signs of
|

|

traffic in this area, leading into the large depression
|
||
|
|
here. The going looks somewhat dangerous, and you decide
|
||
|
|
to exercise a little caution.

a sheer wall of rock to the north. You can climb up the
|
||
|
|
slope to the east, or continue along the flat area to the
|

|

west. Another slope leads downwards to the south, looking
|
||
|

unsafe but climbable.

south, and a solid wall of rock to the north. Eastwards
|
||
|
|
the plateau continues, and you think you can climb up the
|
||
|
|
steep rocky slope just west of here. You are afforded a
|
||
|
|
good view of the lower regions of this depression, and you
|
||

think you spot what might be a cave south and down from
|
||
|

here...

A Rocky Slope~
|

|
|
This slope is fairly treacherous, but looks to be
|
||
|
|
somewhat safer to the north. East the slope leads down
|
||
|
|
to a small plateau that also looks considerably safer
|
||
|
|
than your other choices. The shale under your feet
|
||
|
|
slips badly, and you are almost thrown off balance;
|
||
|
|
this is no place to be without mountaineering equipment.

The Overlook~

You are standing on a point outcropping with a
|
||
|
|
beautiful view of the mountains to the north. Far
|
||
|
|
below, you see what appears to be a foot-path climb
|
||
|
|
up to the central mountain, a peak that looks dark
|
||
|
|
and disturbing. You get very bad vibes from that
|
||
|
|
mountain for some reason, and it doesn't seem like
|
||
|
|
a very good idea to try to find a way to get there.
|
||
|
|
The only safe way to leave this overlook is to
|
||
|
|
the south.

|

head down to the floor of the depression to the west.
|

You're not sure which is safer...

A small path leads south here, away from the rocky
|

slope leading up to the east. A small spring burbles
|
||
|
|
here, evidently the cause of much of the traffic.
|
||
|
|
Looking up, you see sheer rock walls surrounding much
|
||
|
|
of the depression, making an effective fortress of
|
||
|
|
this place.

The Depression Floor~
|
||
|
|
The small path you are standing on leads north, and
|
||
|
|
east into what appears to be a large cave hollowed out
|
||
|
|
of the mountainside. The whole place seems quiet, too
|
||
|
|
quiet in fact. Your little adventurer's intuition is
|
||
|
|
busily warning you of traps.

A Cave Entrance~
|
||
|
|
A cave leads into the heart of the mountainside, well-
|
||
|
|
lit by sconces upon the walls. A large rock sits by
|
||
|
|
the side here, near a small firepit. Debris litters the
|
||
|
|
area; rabbit bones, half of a broken whetstone, and random
|
||
|
|
litter. The ground is devoid of grass, and well trodden
|
||
|
|
by many pairs of boots. Strange that someone should live
|
||
|
|
so deep in the mountains...

|
|
You are near the entrance of the cave. The outside
|
||
|
|
light streams in from the west, accompanied by a slight
|
||
|
|
breeze, making the flames in the sconces flutter a bit
|
||
|
|
and throw stange shadows upon the walls. This passageway
|
||
|
|
heads north and south from here, each way seeming dark and
|
||
|
|
stuffy compared to outdoors. From the tracks in the
|
||
|
|
floor, you guess that the north is the more used.

A Cave Passageway~
|
||
|
|
The passage turns here, one end leading south, towards
|
||
|
|
the cave's entrance, and east -- that much deeper into the
|
||
|
|
mountain. The light sconces keep the area bright enough
|
||
|
|
to see, but not nearly bright enough for you to be quite
|
||
|
|
comfortable in this strange place. From far off you hear
|
||
|
|
the echoes of what sound to be voices.

A Cave Passageway~
|

This twisty passage leads east and west from here.
|
||
|
|
Eastwards you hear the unmistakable sounds of low
|
||
|
|
voices. The echoes seem to be playing funny effects
|
||
|
|
on you, however, and you are not sure from how far
|
||
|
|
off these voices might be coming.

A Cave Passageway~
|

|
The passage you are standing in turns west and south
|
||
|
|
from here. One of the sconces here is out, making this
|
||
|
|
area extremely dark and hard to see in. You do see lights
|
||
|
|
from the south, however, seemingly brighter than the
|
||
|
|
sconces you've seen along the walls so far.

A Cave Passageway~
|
||
|
|
This is a T-intersection in the cave passageway, the
|
||
|
|
north leading back towards the cave's entrance (you
|
||
|
|
think!), the west leading towards a well-lighted area.
|
||
|
|
Eastwards the passageway continues into the shadowy
|
||
|
|
recesses of the mountain uninvitingly. The echoes of
|
||
|
|
voices are confusing you a bit, and you are not sure
|
||
|
|
whether you should try to remain quiet or not.

A Cave~
|

Many sconces line the walls here, casting light on

some weapon racks and chests of armor. Everything
|

|
|
is neat, orderly, and actually well-dusted. Someone
|
||
|

The passageway you are in leads south and west from
|

|
|
here. Many large stones and rocks are on the floor of the
|
||
|
|
cave, making walking difficult in the dim light from the
|
||
|
|
sconces on the walls. You hear the continued echo of
|
||
|
|
voices, seemingly fainter now. Must be the strange
|
||
|
|
acoustics of this place...

The cave twists around like a coiled snake, leading

orientations are still correct. That worries you for
|
||
|

some reason.

You can head north and west through the cave passageways

here, both ways dimly lit by the ever-present sconces on
|
||
|
|
the walls. The echoes you heard earlier seem to be getting
|
||
|
|
louder, and seem to be coming from the northern passage.
|
||
|
|
You feeled a bit chilled from the cooled cave air and
|
||
|
|
shiver a bit in the faint whisper of a breeze. This place
|
||
|
|
is a little too eerie and dark to be comfortable in.

The echoes are growing louder, and seem to be coming

from the northern end of this corridor. Southwards you
|
||
|
|
see the tunnel continue right before yet another bend in
|
||
|
|
the passagway. You spot a small piece of red cloth torn
|
||
|
|
against a sharp rock jutting out from the passage's side.
|
||
|
|
It looks like silk, very nice in fact.

The main passageway leads south from here, and a smaller
|
||
|
|
cave tunnel leads away to the west. Two large boulders
|
||
|
|
sit against the wall, wiped clean of dirt and grime. A
|
||
|
|
paper food wrapper has been trodden under several pairs of
|
||
|
|
feet here; at best guess, you'd say this would probably be
|
||
|
|
a guard post.

The End Of The Passageway~

The cave passageway ends abruptly here to the north in a
|

|
|
large wooden door set into the stone walls. The craftsmanship
|
||
|
|
is superb! You can also head back to the main passage to the
|
||
|
|
west, where there seems to be more light than here. An echo
|
||
|
|
from down the passage makes you wonder for a moment if you are
|
||
|
|
being followed, but you see nothing there...

office/storeroom. A small brook rushes through the south

wall, and flows back into the west wall through a tiny
|

hole. Boxes and crates are stacked against the walls, and
|

a beat up oaken desk stands near the door stacked with
|

papers written upon by an unsteady hand. Some large
|
||
|
|
lanterns keep the place very well lighted.

|
|
lit along its length by the sconces lining the walls
|

|
every fifteen feet or so. From somewhere deep in the
|

|
|
recesses of the cave, you hear a faint, rhythmic thumping
|
||
|
|
sound distorted by the passage's strange acoustics.

westwards to the other side of the 'U'. The air seems

|
|
humid and hard to breathe. Some algae grows near the
|
||
|

floor in the slick spots, giving a definite subtle smell
|
||
|
|
of rot to the air.

This area darker than the rest of the passageway, due

|
to the fact that the sconces along the walls stop abruptly
|
||
|
|
here. The way to the south is completely dark, in direct
|
||
|
|
contrast to the tunnels to the west. You peer hard to the
|
||
|
|
south, but can make out nothing in the impenetrable
|
||
|
|
darkness. And still that distant thumping impinges on
|
||
|
|
your consciousness...

You are standing in a north-south tunnel carved
|

|
|
naturally through the stone of the mountain. To the
|
||
|
|
north the tunnel is lighted by sconces along the wall,
|
||
|
|
banishing the deep, deep darkness you now stand in. To
|
||
|
|
the south you can see nothing. A deep thumping noise
|
||
|
|
seems to be getting louder and louder as you stand here,
|
||
|
|
coming from somewhere deep inside.

The passageway switches directions again in the dark

gloom of the mountain, heading to the north and east from

|
|
here. As you round the corner, a trick of the acoustics
|
||
|
|
make the deep thrumming and pounding you've been hearing
|
||
|
|
sound as if its coming from two feet away! Very unsettling.

stone. Could someone be mining out the tunnel, perhaps?

A glimmer of light to the east alerts you to the fact

that something is going on in the tunnel nearby. The south

|
|
exit of the tunnel leads off into complete darkness. All

around on the ground are piles of earth and stone, making

you have to wend through the tunnel carefully. Hmm.

The End Of The Passage~

The tunnel stops abruptly here at a fissure in the stone.

All around on the ground are rocks and gravel, mined from
|
||
|
|
the fissure in an attempt to widen it enough for passage.
|
||
|
|
A few pieces of paper litter and wrappers tells you that
|
||
|
|
the work here is relatively recent.

A Rocky Slope~
|
||
|
|
This treacherous slope leads ever-downward quite a ways,
|
||
|
|
down to a valley where there seems to be a small village!
|
||
|
|
What a village is doing this far from civilization, and how
|
||
|
|
they survive you've no idea. From the smoke wafting from
|
||
|
|
some of the chimneys, it looks like this place is still
|
||
|
|
inhabited as well.
|
||
|
|
Now if you can only get down this slope without breaking
|
||
|
|
an ankle...

A Rocky Slope~
|
||
|
|
You're slipping and sliding across this slope, trying to
|
||
|
|
get to your destination without breaking your leg or falling
|
||
|
|
and shattering your head. Below, you spot some movement in
|
||
|
|
the village, giving proof the place is not a ghost-town.
|
||
|
|
The main road of the village starts at the bottom of
|
||
|
|
the slope just to the east, and the slope continues west
|
||
|
|
and up far, far up the mountain.

Main Road~
|
||
|
|
This place leaves you very unimpressed. And bored.
|
||
|
|
You are definitely bored by this place. The people are
|
||
|
|
listless, going about their daily chores with a slowness
|
||
|
|
that pains your eyes. A slope to the west climbs up the
|
||
|
|
mountainside, and two open shops made of wood and stone
|
||
|
|
are to your north and south. East-wards this road continues.
|
||
|
|
There is a small sign here.

The Mountain Tavern~
|
||
|
|
Hmm. Looks like there's no one here, not even an bartender.
|
||
|
|
Evidently you've come during off hours, since no bar could be
|
||
|
|
THIS dull. The walls are decorated with mounted animal heads
|
||
|
|
and arrows and longbows and other hunting equipment/trophies.
|
||
|
|
All of it looks rather plain.

Nothing is going on in this section of village either. To the

|
||
|
|
of the ends of this road. A large grassy area to the south is
|
||
|

fenced off for a horse corral.

The Corral~
|
||
|
|
Many horses look up at you when you enter this corral.
|
||
|
|
The horses are kept in by a big wooden fence, which they
|
||
|
|
seem quite happy to been kept in by. You don't see anyone
|
||
|
|
around taking care of these horses, but someone is probably
|
||
|
|
close by.

The Intersection~
|
||
|
|
You are standing in an intersection deep in the heart
|
||
|
|
of Stanneg by the Mountains. In fact, this is the ONLY
|
||
|
|
intersection anywhere in Stanneg by the Mountain it
|
||
|
|
appears.
|
||
|
|
There are some buildings to the north, and south, and
|
||
|
|
east, and west. None particularly stand out from the
|
||
|
|
others.

This road runs north through Stanneg by the Mountains,
|

|
if through would be the operative word for such a motley
|
||
|
|
collection of buildings. Westwards is a small, open-roofed
|
||
|
|
building that appears to be a farmer's market. The road
|
||
|
|
you are on continues north, and comes to an intersection
|
||
|
|
just south of here.

buy the food her family has grown. She looks bored, but
|
||
|
|
not unhappy... no competition!

The interior of this home is simple and rustic. A

ladder leads up to the loft, where the sleeping pallets
|
||
|
|
are tucked away. A wood-burning stove keeps the place
|
||
|
|
well heated and cozy. A homemade rocking chair stands
|
||
|
|
crooked in the corner, draped with a old looking afghan.
|
||
|
|
This home is a nice place, very comfortable.

A Private Home~

This home strikes you as unbearable warm and uncomfortable.

The fireplace is going at a full-bonfire, a mammoth stack of

firewood beside it against the wall. The decorations seem
|
||
|
|
somewhat spartan and plain; a landscape, an old hunting
|

bow... nothing much of interest.

well is a large building, with a large WELCOME mat outside

|

|

terrain in the middle of this mountain range...not very
|
||
|

on the west and north sides of this room. A few benches

and tables are clustered in the center of the room, for

the use of the locals. Fairly plain, for a frequented
|

|

a mountain hanging above the stairs that lead back

A Rocky Slope~
|
||
|
|
This slope is fairly shallow and easy to walk on,
|
||
|
|
despite the loose shale and gravel. To the east is a high
|
||
|
|
ridge you could stand on, and to the west is a flat area
|
||
|
|
near two trails leading up and down into the mountains.
|
||
|
|
High above you, to your west, is that ominous, dark peak,
|
||
|
|
which seems to radiating a sense of hopelessness...

A Ledge~
|

|
|
This ledge overlooks a small path that leads up and
|

|
|
down from here. Below, you see the path head down to a
|
||
|
|
large flat area where a small cottage lies nestled in the
|
||
|
|
mountains, smoke rising from it in a curling line. Above,
|
||
|
|
the path seems to head towards that dark peak piercing the
|
||
|
|
sky. You notice a few boot-tracks in the earth, seemingly
|
||
|
|
to lead down towards the cottage.

Outside Of A Cottage~
|
||
|
|
Now that you approach closer to the cottage, you notice
|
||
|
|
that the smoke is not coming from the chimney, but rather
|
||
|
|
the gutted ruins of the building. Something torched this
|
||
|
|
place, badly. You see no signs of life among the wreckage.
|
||
|
|
You can enter one of the particularly large holes in the
|
||
|
|
wall to the west, with caution.
|
||

The Torched Cottage~
|
||
|
|
This whole place is smouldering still from whatever
|
||
|
|
decided to try to burn it to the ground. On the floor
|
||
|
|
near the center of the ruined structure is the burnt and
|
||
|
|
dessicated corpse of a man, outstretched and blackened.
|
||
|
|
There's not much to see here; whatever decided to destroy
|
||
|
|
this place did it very well.

A Mountain Trail~
|
||
|
|
This mountain trail leads straight up into the evil
|
||
|
|
looking mountains. High above you, one mountain peak
|
||
|
|
seems to radiate danger and fear, and the trail seems
|
||
|
|
to be leading straight up to it. You wonder if it is
|
||
|
|
wise to continue this way...
|
||
|
|
The trail goes even higher up to the west, and back
|
||
|
|
down to the west.

A Mountain Trail~
|
||
|
|
The trail leads up even higher into the mountains to the
|
||
|
|
west here. You shiver as the cold mountain air washes over
|
||
|
|
you, and your back prickles as you wonder if anything lives
|
||
|
|
up here, or anything _dangerous_ for that matter. Maybe
|
||
|
|
heading back down to the east would be a good idea...

A Mountain Trail~
|
||
|
|
The trail leads up the side of the tallest mountain in
|
||
|
|
the range -- the one that sticks up into the dark sky like
|
||
|
|
a monument to death and futility. The trail leads back to
|
||
|
|
safety to the east, and goes even higher to the west.

Near The Peak~
|
||
|
|
This is as close to the peak as you're going to get,
|
||
|
|
unless you use that tiny, tiny path leading up to your
|
||
|
|
north. Up the side of the mountain you see a great cave
|
||
|
|
hollowed out, the inside pitch black. The path leads down
|
||
|
|
the mountains to your east, which seems to be the best
|
||
|
|
place to go.

A Small, Dangerous Path~
|
||
|
|
This path leads up, up, up the side of the mountain, to
|
||
|
|
the evil-seeming cave. It also heads down to the south--a
|
||
|
|
lot safer place to be. In fact, you hear footsteps above
|
||
|
|
your head...

A Small, Dangerous Path~
|

|
|
Unfortunately, you realize too late that this bigger
|
||
|
|
ledge that leads north to the darkened cave is an ideal
|
||
|
|
spot for an ambush. This ledge gives you a beautiful
|
||
|
|
panoramic view of the entire mountain range, however.
|
||
|
|
Breathtaking!

The Cave Entrance~
|
||
|
|
You are standing in the entrance of a simply huge cave!
|
||
|
|
The size is stunning! All around the entrance are burnt
|
||
|
|
bones and various types of wooden and metal debris. Giant
|
||
|
|
claw marks are all along the ground, leading back deeper
|
||
|
|
into the cave.
|
||
|
|
Two tunnels lead off from here, one up, one down. There
|
||
|
|
are claw marks leading in either direction.

A Sloping Tunnel~
|

The tunnels slopes up to the north deeper into the
|

|
|
mountain. A rather gusty breeze riffles your clothing
|
||
|
|
from ahead somewhere. The claw marks in the stone floor
|
||
|
|
continue up the passage, through the darkness.

The tunnel continues its slope upwards, and the wind
|

blows at you even stronger yet. The claw tracks in the
|

|
stone stop abruptly here, where there seems to be a lot
|
||
|
|
of unearthed dirt and stone around, heaped upon the floor.
|
||
|
|
You feel uneasy about this place.

A Sloping Tunnel~
|
||
|
|
This tunnel slopes deep, down into the mountain's heart.
|
||
|
|
The air feels still and uncomfortably warm, despite the
|
||
|
|
closeness of the cave's entrance above you. There's a
|
||
|
|
deep, musky odor in the air, and the giant claw marks
|
||
|
|
continue downwards.

A Sloping Tunnel~
|

A bright light greets your eyes from the north, in
|
||
|
|
direct contrast to the darkness of the tunnel overhead.
|
||
|
|
You break out in a sweat due to the overwhelming warmth
|
||
|
|
of the air. The musky odor has grown quite intense,
|
||
|
|
drowning out everything else in the air and making it hard
|
||
|
|
to breathe. Something in your gut begins squirming
|
||
|
|
uncomfortably as you wonder what's ahead...

The Lair~
|
||
|
|
This place is huge!!! It should be considering the
|
||
|
|
dragon's great bulk. However, instead of seeing the
|
||
|
|
customary carnage and mound of gold that one is accustomed
|
||
|
|
to seeing in a dragon lair, this one is decorated subtly
|
||
|
|
with tapestries and drapes, and other comforts of human
|
||
|
|
life. There is even a huge-dragon sized bed -- undoubtedly
|
||
|
|
conjured to life by its elder dragon owner.
