As Jabbar predicted, several more bandits emerge, weapons raised, and attempt to surround you. Shafi waves his arms in a panic. [B]Shafi:[/B] [COLOR=#808080]"Leave them be!

The bandits look to each other and smirk at Shafi.[COLOR=#A9A9A9] "You're a disgrace!"[/COLOR] They mutter, but they let you pass. Once you are through the other tunnel you find another secret door dug within a thicket of blackberries behind a farmers storehouse on the northern hill. Jabbar releases Shafi and shoves him back down into the tunnel. [B]Shafi:[/B] Shakes his finger at Jabbar [COLOR=#808080]"You'll be sorry for this!"[/COLOR] He warns. [B]Jabbar:[/B][COLOR=#996600] "Not as sorry as you are already."[/COLOR] He chuckles and shuts the hidden door in his face. He looks to the pair of you and smiles. [COLOR=#996600]"Well that was interesting! Lets make our way to this inn with haste. If nothing else, it will be good to have a drink even if Burrai isn't there. Lead the way Avar."[/COLOR] He says pulling his hood back up to hide his face as his breath turns into vapor in the chilly evening air. A wide path from the tall double-doors of the storehouse cuts across the hillside, wide enough for a single wagon, weaving itself between the farmsteads into the town proper. There is also a smaller foot path leading directly down from the thicket, as these berries are very popular with the locals. Avar raises his hood as well and starts off down the footpath. Dark grey clouds hang ominously over the town, seemingly fed by a hundred smoking chimneys. A few curious onlookers peer out at you from farmhouse windows, but quickly close their shutters as you pass. From the hillside you have a great vantage spot overlooking Cabarda. Most of the buildings here are made of brick, stone and mortar, or adobe. Rooftops are typically clay tiles while the poorest shacks have thatch-roofs. Some of the fanciest buildings use large sheets of bronze or copper. Streets are packed earth with drainage ditches over a buried sewer system. The tallest structure in the town appears to be the Vulkyrie Tower, erected just behind a massive arena. The tower is approximately sixty feet high. [B]Jabbar:[/B] Notes your eyes lingering on the tower. [COLOR=#996600]"That's where our winged masters, The Vulkrie, roost. Take care to always grovel before them and never look them in the eye.
