With the sounding of the bells, the sleepy backwater community takes on an entirely different air. Instead of panic there is an organized process. people are moving around leaving the center of the streets open, shopkeepers are closing their shutters, taverns are being closed, individual homes are being shuttered, large farm wagons are being moved to cross streets and other preparations.
On the green way in frontofthe castle (norhtside) troops and milita are being assembled. A few quick questions leads thepart to belivethat the captain will be in the map room. Directions are easily given to it and soon you find yourself in a very large basement room in thekeep perhaps some200 feets by 150 feet in lenght.
the walls do indeed have numerous maps but what is most interesting is a large 100 by 50 foot scale model of the entire region set into the center of the floor.
As you suspected, the captain is there talking with several people.
