They are standing on the lower slopes of a hill, about 10 ft. above the level of the surrounding forest floor. The hill rises behind them to a height of 200 ft. and is covered in dense woods. Straight ahead and to the right are more dense woods, but about 25' to the left is an area of rough open  ground. About half a mile distant, they can see a large shell keep rising up out of the forest. If the party eventually travels to the keep, they will find it in disrepair and completely deserted.About 50' ahead of the party is a patrol group moving stealthily on foot through the dense woods.
