Walking throught Armet is a study in bleakness and despair. Everywhere there is bare ground, deserted houses and emaciated people who all watch warily as you walk through town. It is quite evident that these people have lost nearly every material thing that they own and are beginning to lose hope. There are few people left in town and most of those are beginning to pack up their things to look for "greener pastures".
A short walk later brings you to the outskirts of town and, off in the distance you can see a collection of buildings, the training grounds. Several of the buildings look to be intact but most are just piles of stone and wood.
OOC: There are 9 buildings that you can see, only 3 of which seem to be in safe condition.

"I had expected worse conditions. We may be in luck." Tyler says. "Swipe? could you take a look into some of the more dilapidated buildings? Your natural grace and small size make you the most likley candidate. don't go too far in though. just a short recon."
Aleran keeps his cloak wrapped tightly against his body, in an attempt to keep himself warm. He glances around at the ruined buildings, this was a waste of time, he knew it but there wasn't much he could do about it, there was no way he was about to go wandering around alone.
"How long will we remain here? The longer we stay the better chance of getting caught in the storm." He says glancing over at Tyler

Looking around, there is no sign of a "main" building by appearance. This was a military training grounds and, apparently, those in charge wanted to live in the same conditions as their men.
"Surely." Swipe makes his way towards the nearest building/pile of stone and wood. He'll look for anything interesting, then move on to the next, and the next.
Wriggling your way into the ruins of the nearest building reveals a jumbled mess of broken furniture and rusted metal. It seems likely that anything of value would be long gone. Rapidly moving on to the other broken shells reveals much of the same: Broken furniture, rusted metal, a few poor quality weapons (mostly longswords) that look like they would have been practice swords, etc.
Uri will look around the area with Swipe, looking for any recent tracks or signs of things, "out of place". From the outside, There is really no way for Uri's large frame to get into the interior of these buildings, they look like what they are: Buildings that have definitly seen better days.

Out of the corner of your eye, you see a dark form hovering around one of the intact buildings, but when you turn to look, it is gone...
Seemingly improbably, as Aleran mentions getting caught in the storm, snow starts to gently fall.
OOC: As reference, this area was initially patterened after the NewYork / New Jersey area of North America. It is currently the equivilent of August, and it's snowing... Hopefully this will give you an idea of how "off" the seasons are.

Uri curses under his breath. "Damn," he says as he looks at the flurrying sky, "this is work for a holy man, not bladesmen." Seeing that Swipe has found nothing, Uri looks around to see what people are doing, and says, "We've not yet lost an hour yet. Shall we make off before the weather worsens?"
