After the reception that the party receives in front of the first farmhouse (location #1 on map), they head back onto the main street.
Such a queer response. Almost as if they don't like elves or something. Ari rubs his chin and looks around to see if the little girls have noticed, if not, he will approach them.
Stonefist follows Ari and Alessin while calling to Gideon,
"You wandering off?"
"I'll wait if you guys hurry up, and quit scaring these children". "I'm hungry and grouchy after all this time on the road, and I figure if there is an inn or something, we might find adults to talk to".
Gideon stops, leans on his hammer and impatiently taps his foot.
damn tree huggers, and dirt daubers.
You approach the whitewashed wooden farmhouse, where several cows are chewing their cud just outside of the barn. The three little girls have stopped playing and are gawking and pointing at your group. An older girl rushes out of the house as you near their property (as shown on the map) and hustles the little ones inside.
A few more buildings have come into view, as you've made it a bit up the main road.
(#6) This appears to be a large wooden inn. It is decorated with carvings of sheaves of wheat along the eaves of the roof. The inn was whitewashed at one time, but much of the paint has peeled. A sign picturing a cluster of wheat and a pitcher of beer or ale hangs over the door. A corral and stable, apparently empty, are off to the side.
(#5) A sign with a spinning wheel and a loom hangs outside this new building. Several bales of wool are stacked on the wide porch.
(#7) A gem-encrusted ring is pictured on a sign outside of this establishment. The doors and windows are open. The building is small, but looks extremely sturdy; the shutters and doors are of heavy wood, reinforced by iron bands.
A bridge crosses the stream to the north of you, heading off into a more wooded part of town, it appears.
