[QUOTE="GlassEye, post: 6270116, member: 40413"] Elderia points out a trail heading eastward into the woods near the village. "Follow the trail. It leads all the way to the keep." Mihai intones an invocation of blessing and the group sets off. The villagers of Krivstad, pragmatic as ever, watch briefly then head off to make up for the lost morning's work. Under the boughs of the forest it is dim and quiet as the creatures of the wood still themselves at the intrusion into their realm. It is easy to see why the villagers find the forest ominous and threatening even for one experienced in woodcraft as Siva is. Despite the trail, the going is rough and by the time the group pushes through the last of the forest's overhanging limbs the sun is directly overhead. Before you is the keep. It squats at the top of a low, craggy hill, its walls of toppled stone and massive granite blocks hinting at forgotten battles and the clash of mighty armies. Now the ruins seem host only to creeping vines and the foul miasma that drifts down from the keep. Fat flies bite at you incessantly, and clouds of small black insects choke your every breath. The long-abandoned land is choked with thorny vines that have even taken hold on the ruined walls. A sight gives you pause: the ragged banner spotted in distant Krivstad high atop the ruined walls unfurls in a momentary breeze revealing a crimson skull worked upon its black field. The trail, now overgrown with weeds and sickly vines, continues eastward along the south side of the keep before disappearing around the hill and presumably to the causeway that leads up and into the keep. The west wall of the keep, near to where you came out of the forest, has collapsed spilling cyclopean stone blocks down the rocky slope. The blocks are precariously balanced atop one another, like a titan's game of dice. [/QUOTE]
