There's plenty of wood to be found in the monastery. Much of it's rotted from exposure to the elements over many rainy seasons, but there's still a lot of smashed furniture to be found in rooms with intact walls and ceilings and for most of the year the climate here is arid.

OOC - Do we know what the old shrine is at this point?

None of you has heard anything about it. Almah is quite curious, though, and is willing to pay you an extra commission to explore it - to ensure that there's nothing there to threaten her Battle Market once she gets it reestablished.

ok, I am at the coffee shop and am finally able to see the map of the vally. i have aa couple of questions to ask:

1)what are the Pesh fields? is that the name of the location or is that the name of a crop?

2) To the ssw is the Sultan's claw. What is th at? a natral formation or ...?

3) there is a road to the south that heads to the east and looks to cross the river. May be we cna check that out to see what kind of forces are there? or maybe even take that and have almah's forces hold it?

control of a bridge is considered a strong strategic holding when there is an attack in progress.

1. Pesh is the biggest export from Katapesh. It's a narcotic extracted from the juice of the Pesh Cactus.
2. The Sultan's Claw is the site where you initially met Almah, and put out the caravan fire.
3. The road and bridge are really too far away to be useful in the taking of Kelmarane - the action should be on a small enough scale that the road won't really come into play. But you never know . . .

OOC: thank you. that puts some dimension to a possible plan forming in my mind. Now we know about the pesh fields, right? and what are the effects of Pesh and is it water soluable, or does water destroy it? is it taken orally, injected or smoked?

Tsadok's sister, Lerissa, was addicted to it and he might know more...or maybe it's common knowledge. DM?
