[Kobold Village]
This part of the village is not only shabby, it's boring. Absolutely nothing distinguishes the meritless huts, one from another. The kobolds who live here must shuffle off sadly into the forest each day with little hope of anything interesting in their pathetic lives... unless they are fortunate enough to find an end to their miserable existences at the swordpoint of some Wehnimerian whelp. You also see a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold and a worthless hovel.

[Kobold Village]
The huts at this far end of the little valley are in slightly better shape and somewhat larger than elsewhere in the village. The slothful kobolds must prize the extra hour of morning shade the rubbish mound to the east provides, or maybe they just like the smell. One hut stands out from the others for its size and relatively sturdy construction. The architect was surely the only one of his brethren ever to have heard of right angles.
Obvious paths: east, northeast, southeast.

[Kobold Village]
A fetid pond of murky green slime swirls lazily around a gurgling spring at the lowest point of the vale. A circle of tumbled stones nearby suggests that this was once the site of a well, and a few scattered buckets and washboards hint that the kobolds might actually use the brackish filth here as a water supply. It's not a pleasant thought.

drag hr eThe ground slopes downward and the thin yellow mist that clings about the vale hangs heaviest to the west. Northward a wooded promontory overlooks the vale. The great splendid oaks of the Dragonsclaw lean out over the precipice as though peering in disapproval at the shabby squatters below. Some of the huts here have been built against the face of the promontory: an architectural style favored by lazy builders and maggot-hunters. You also see a kobold, a kobold, a pitiful shanty and a shoddy mud and wood barricade.

A little circle of huts have collapsed inward on themselves, leaning together for support like a group of their owners in a drunken stupor. Around them, a twisted octopus of metal extends its tentacles. The strange conglomeration of metal debris at first appears to be some hellish sculpture, but closer inspection, by sight and smell, suggests it is an animal cage. You also see a kobold.

[Kobold Village, Commons]
The village commons is a grassy swath cut into the terraced strip of land east of the village proper. The green is set down into the rich earth just enough to keep a lethargic rolton from scrambling out on a hot day. An unwholesome mist pools in the sunken grassy area, and the moist earth gives way to a quagmire at one end. You also see a kobold, a kobold, a kobold, a kobold and a shoddy mud and wood barricade.

[Kobold Village, Royal Mound]
A great mound of rubbish and filth rises up here west of the commons. Trash from every inn and tavern in Elanthia must have been dragged here to make it. High above the surrounding slovenly huts rests an even more slovenly sight: a decrepit fishing boat lies keel-up amid the filth. Gaping holes dot the rotting hull, only a few stopped with rickety shields and other scraps of wood serving as doorways and shutters. The fishermen are gone, but the smell of fish lingers on. You also see a kobold.

[Lower Dragonsclaw, Brambles]
A gnarled hedgerow of brambles marches north and south, blocking any further progress down the westward slope. The smell of homemade cooking wafts over the stubby barrier ... or maybe something died over there. A sturdy adventurer might be able to squeeze under the hedge without too much loss of blood. On the other hand, a naked march back through the briars would probably be more fun.

[Lower Dragonsclaw, Briar Patch]
Underbrush and stunted oaks twist together in a death grip as the ground begins to slope downward. Some of the nearby briars have stems so thick that, if not for their hateful thorns, you could almost mistake them for saplings. The oaks, in turn, are bent double by masses of clinging vines. The whole effect is of a nasty little miniature Dragonsclaw.

outWooden carving knives slice away the flesh of all intruders to this horrible maze, leaving rivulets of blood and sweat to trickle down the brow of any so foolhardy as to enter here on two legs. Twist or turn, but there is no escape from the dagger-spine pressed painfully into the soft flesh of the abdomen or the clump of stinging nettles thrust suddenly into the face. At times the only way forward is by scrabbling on hands and knees.

A kobold swings a short sword at you!
AS: +42 vs DS: +702 with AvD: +26 + d100 roll: +48 = -586
A clean miss.

[Lower Dragonsclaw, Forest]
There is a break in the trees here, several charred trunks bearing witness to a past forest fire or act of nature. A modwir lies across the ground, the scars of a lightning strike etched into its blackened trunk. Just near the remaining tree stump, you notice a dirt footpath leading south. You also see a kobold and a clearing to the east.
Obvious paths: northeast, northwest, southeast.

[Upper Dragonsclaw, Slopes]
The landscape is wild and challenging here, remote and forbidding. The ground dips and rises between thick, close undergrowth and rocky outcroppings. The level of the land rises to the south gradually at first, and then more sharply, disappearing up into the distance. To the north, the slope is gentler and less hazardous. You also see a dirt footpath.
Obvious paths: south.

[Upper Dragonsclaw, Slopes]
The sharper slant of the terrain causes you to brace yourself against the rocky ground at an angle. Small pebbles and clumps of dirt are dislodged by your progress. The clatter of their descent echoes off the rising rock formations to the south as you utter a low, involuntary curse under your breath, chiding yourself for your clumsiness and lack of stealth.
Obvious paths: north, south.

[Upper Dragonsclaw, Slopes]
A towering boulder stands in the middle of the path, blocking it to the south, where it splits into two forks around the southeastern and southwestern sides of the rock. To the north, the slope descends slightly, leading you back towards the forests of the lowlands. You also see a hobgoblin, a hobgoblin and a rotting tree stump.
Obvious paths: north, southeast, southwest.

[Upper Dragonsclaw, Slopes]
The surrounding area seems strangely quiet for such a cool and pleasant upland region as this. You wonder where the wildlife could have gone. Looking around, you notice something startling and disconcerting. Beneath a low-growing shrub beside the path are several carcasses of small animals and birds. They seem to be recently deceased.
Obvious paths: northwest, southwest.

[Upper Dragonsclaw, Slopes]
The two paths around the towering boulder directly to the north allow you to skirt it, but the boulder itself looks fairly easy to scale. From its top, you might be able to get your bearings and stay out of harm's way for a bit. You also see a hobgoblin, a rotting tree stump and a long dark space under the boulder.

The grass is paler green here, as though the altitude and dearth of sunlight have stunted its growth. Coarse mosses and lichens hug the ground and form powdery, white crusts upon the rocks scattered about. The steepness of the slope makes you breathe heavily under the exertion of negotiating it, and you see your breath condense in vapor clouds in the crisp air. You also see a hobgoblin.
Obvious paths: north, south.

[Upper Dragonsclaw, Slopes]
Tall, ghostly mountain peaks loom above you. Although you know they are quite far distant to the south, it feels as though you could almost reach out and touch them from here. Dark, contorted trails wind up the sides of the mountains, but they seem to be fit only for a few hardy mountain goats - or foolish climbers. The ground here is mostly bare, save for gravel, moss and a few stray weeds. The trail here winds to the east, with a high rocky ridge looming to the west. You also see a rotting tree stump.
Obvious paths: north, east.

Announcement: if you are dead now, we will revive you when we fix the problem. Log out now, please.
