Takal recalls often seeing dwarves traveling in a rocky region northwest of his monastary, bringing their carts to and from the Boryg marketplace with ore and goods. It's about 16 miles from Boryg to the dwarven city if one follows the roads, or 9 miles in a straight line through the wilderness.<br/><br/>The servants return with bundles of heavy wool blankets, scarves, cloaks and bedrolls. Most of them are sized for mice and therefore only useful for Sen, but a bit of searching reveals a few articles large enough to accomodate a muscular human or dragonfolk.<br/><br/>[winter gear gives a +5 bonus on fortitude saves against a cold enviroment]<br/><br/>{{it just occured to me, does Lilandra have antennae? That would be cute}}<br/><br/>The buildings Lilandra and Grai pass are empty, and the narrow street is completely unlit. Which, with the moon and stars hidden behind thick clouds, means Grai could walk into a post without seeing it; he only knows where Lilandra is by the sound of her legs and her voice. The centitaur herself is able to make out the street 60 feet in front of her with darkvision, allowing her to navigate the pair out of Rodenttown. Uphill, towards Stone Hill and the market districts, the street they are on becomes an alleyway that empties into a large, lamp-lit marketplace.<br/><br/>Or at least, it was a marketplace this morning. Now, it's a battlefield. The carts and tents which had crowded the snowed-in lot have been reduced to rubble, and the ground is covered in debris and stained with blood. Weary-looking guardsmen of every species can be seen in this area, as well as civilians working to control the last of the fires. Lilandra and Grai spot another tavern which, like the Cheddar Cellar, was requisitioned by the local militia to serve as a base of operations. Lilandra gets a few suspicious looks from the soldiers, but no one confronts her.<br/><br/>The tavern, the Blue Moose, is a two-story building with a balcony in the main room. A female human behind the bar greets Grai and Lilandra with a smile. "Don't think I've seen you folk around here before. Are you soldiers?"
