The moonlight provides some illumination, but there are still many places where it doesn't seem to be quite enough.Eventually with time, the sun starts to overtake the surroundings and things are quite a bit brighter. After a few hours you pass by a farmstead.Herald's Homestead<--- (West) Drellin's Ferry 22 Miles<--- (West) Skull Gorge 48 Miles---> (East) Terrelton 10 Miles---> (East) Nimon Gap 31 Miles---> (East) Brindol 100 MilesFurther, as you pass the home itself you find blood on the road. The ichor is black, the color of the dragonspawns blood. There are no signs of any bodies or corpses, however, and there doesn't seem to be any sign of what exactly happened here.At roughly two in the afternoon, you come into the city of Terrelton. Terrelton is in poor shape. It looks like much of the city has already been evacuated. There are still many here, and by a very rough estimate it seems two-thirds of the towns population have left.Many of the buildings have been boarded up, or locked and emptied. It seems some people are convinced a few planks of wood or a simple door lock will keep such buildings safe from prospective looters. It seems obvious to most with some common sense, however, that anything left behind is likely to be burned to the ground.After a bit, you arrive at the only Inn not yet locked and bolted shut. Some unscrupulous individuals have taken over some of the abandoned buildings since their original tenants have left, but this place is still under it's proper owner. The River Eagle Inn is a fairly normal seeming place during the evacuation. It's one employee and owner, Lianna Horak is kept busy with two clients: Warren and a Lion of Brindol.[sblock=Warren]You would have arrived at roughly 9:00 AM, so you may be asleep at this time. I just put you in the Inn so that everyone can find you at first.[/sblock]The Lion is a black-haired woman, her face streaked with the dust of the road. She wear's a soldier's tunic of blue and white over a shirt of mail, with the stylized image of a golden lion over her heart. She's drinking ale almost as fast as the innkeeper can pour it, and it's still early in the morning.When Lianna (the innkeeper) notices your arrival, she explains current circumstances. "If you're travelers, you're welcome to stay here overnight. Drink as much of my stock as you can, and feel free to resupply yourselves with any of my food or anything else I still have around here. In exchange, all I ask is a little help moving tomorrow morning, if you're willing to suffer it. It's difficult getting everything together when you live alone."Lianna is an unusually tall and lean woman, roughly six feet from head to toe. She has short brown hair and not much in the way of jewelry or decoration. Her attitude seems honest, and she does seem to be working towards emptying out her inns supply room as quickly as she can.It seems her inn is still fairly well stocked, and includes quite a bit of high-quality food that will likely go to waste soon given the circumstances. Her ale and wine is also fairly well stocked, but of only mediocre quality. Still, she has enough of it to drown in, and it's being offered for free.</blockquote>
