Hardin informs the group that this should last about three days.Slyfen is unsure how far Tasper is. It is off the edge of the map. You have guessed that it is some tens of miles away, based on the fact that it is close enough that Kyle found it convenient to hunt in Timberway, but far enough that he had to stay at the Bluerock Lodge to do so. Your party can travel about 12 miles per day, with Belisha on foot.Although the weather continues to warm, the corpse no longer smells. On the morning of your fourth day of travel to Tasper, you finally emerge from the oppressive surroundings of the Timberway forest. Ahead of you, the road leads on to a series of hills. Under the bright sky, you continue to the hill directly in front of you.Shortly after noon, you crest the hill. Lying below you is a large, fertile valley. Farms dot the land, most now dormant for the winter season. A large creek runs through the valley, and your eyes follow the glittering waterway to where it intersects the road. There you see a small village of about 25 buildings.Most of them are small thatch-roofed houses, but there are also a few larger buildings that look like they might belong to a smith, a miller, or the like. The buildings are on both sides of the creek, which is spanned by a simple wooden bridge near the center of the village. Smoke curls from most of the simple chimneys.By far the largest building is a hewn stone church. It is larger than what you might consider a chapel, but too small to be considered a cathedral or temple. It might be a small monastery. It is simple in design, but Hardin recognizes markings belonging to the church of Obad-Hai. In front of the building is a large statue, but it is too difficult to make out exactly what it depicts at this distance.You can make out some activity in the village, people walking about, a hay cart coming in from one of the farms, etc., but it is doubtful that anyone has noticed you at the top of the hill yet.</blockquote>
