You then set out to see Burne on the east side of town.[sblock=OOC]Wearing armor heavier than leather or carrying two-handed weapons such as greatswords or pole arms would be considered garish and offensive to most people in town. This is a peaceful village, not a dangerous frontier settlement. If you walk around town armed to the teeth, most people are likely to regard you with guarded avoidance, if not hostility. You can have one light or one-handed weapon with you (sheathed) and wear leather or padded armor if you have it. Anything more than that will cause penalties as described above. Also, please check the <a href="http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=211034" target="_blank">OOC thread</a> as I've decided to make some slight adjustments to the campaign rules in light of this situation.[/sblock]Here are the beginnings of a smallish castle, being built around a new tower atop the low mound. A deep trench has been dug about ten feet wide and as deep, down to hard clay. They currently seem to be in the process of mortaring the foundations of the wall to be built above. Work has barely begun, but the outlines of the bastions, towers, a gatehouse, and a keep are noted.The keep is atop the second hillock, and considerable excavation has taken place. The earth from this digging has been used in the walls around the whole. Some dressed stone blocks are visible, but not similar to local stone.The tower structure on the first hillock is some 55 feet tall, a smaller tower rising inside the greater at about 35 feet above the ground. Its entrance is accessible only by going up a curving flight of stone stairs which terminate in a landing about 10 feet above the ground. The outer door is of the tower lowers to form a bridge to the stone landing. There are numbers of arrow slits around the tower, and it has a splay around the base to about 6 feet in height.The lower and upper battlements are <a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/machicolation" target="_blank">machicolated</a>, the <a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/merlon" target="_blank">merlons</a> being pierced for archery as well. Two men-at-arms watch from its roof.</blockquote>
