R1: Hired Hands (nimisgod judging)

[LogicsFate]

I'll try to follow along on the map, we can talk to the farmers within a radius of the attacks

"Great story Tor, I'm impressed"

 

[LogicsFate]

Or rather, as we walk where are the first farms we get too, how far out?

 

[Dungannon]

ooc: There are farms immediately outside of Allimon, on both sides of the road. The ones on the north side appear to be mainly crop farms (wheat, corn, and the like). On the south side are livestock farms (cows, goats, sheep). If you want to wait til you get closer to the site of the attacks, the first location is about 3 hours from Allimon.

 

[Patlin]

Let's stop at the first location and see how it goes.

 

[Dungannon]

The party travels along the Western Road, passing the time with small talk and strategizing. After a few hours you come upon the site of one of the attacks, marked as such by a large patch of scorched earth just off the to the south side of the road. In the distance to the north, in the middle of a wheat field, you notice a farmstead. You remember seeing a dirt track lead off in that direction from the Road about five minutes' back.

 

[LogicsFate]

How large is a large patch of scorthed earth?

 

[Dungannon]

The patch is roughly 15 ft. square, big enough to encompass a standard wagon.

 

[LogicsFate]

"Alright, alright" He looks to the burnt area then to the farm fouse "After you gentlemen..."
Valan looks over the farm house as he gets closer, size?, is there a barn? tell-tale signs of life?

 

[Dungannon]

The layout is fairly typical. There is a house, barn, windmill (apparently this farm grinds its own) and a smaller outbuilding, presumably to house seasonal help. As you approach, you see smoke rising from the chimney and see a man and boy working on something through the open doors of the barn.

 

[LogicsFate]

Valan starts toward the farmers and lowers his voice, "who wants to take this one?"
