[QUOTE="silentspace, post: 1893115, member: 14316"] The path continues up into the hills. Moving northward you arrive at the source of the stream, a pool of sparkling water gurgling up into a knee-deep pool before continuing as a stream. The pool lies in a stone basin. Upon closer examination, Dunathar sees that steps had been carved into the stone, though time and nature have hidden most of the signs. You can imagine people gathered around, sitting on its edges, filling buckets with water. There are numerous animal tracks here, and the trail, with the humanoid tracks, continues west. Manzanita and Dunathar notice some scattered stones lying about the trail, and examining them, see faint tool marks on them. While appearing to be a natural animal trail, the trail leading west looks like it may have been a road at one time in the distant past. The terrain becomes more difficult here in the hills, with steep slopes and deep gullies. The trail is still easy to traverse, though. Travelling onward, winding west and south, you make out a couple remnants of stone structures a bit off the road, perhaps once farmhouses. These are very few and far between. If these were villagers protected by Linace Keep, there were probably many more houses built of wood or earth, but these have have long since been reclaimed by the earth. After several hours of travelling, Goven notices a broken twig on the right hand side of the trail, and makes out an overgrown path branching off the trail to the right (west). The main trail continues south. TO the west, the path seems to climb up into hillier territory. To the south, the forest seems to get less hilly and easier to navigate. Six sets of footprints continue to the south. Two sets of footprints seem to have found the hidden, overgrown trail, and followed it west. You estimate you are in the middle of the western half of the forest. [/QUOTE]
