The plan forwards to Bregowarians

So here’s the first map of the situation, after we (hopefully) get Meghan back to tracks. Feel free to move us, paying heed to these suggestions.

There is the town of Earnanaes by the ferry. It kind of striked me a couple of weeks ago, that it would sound quite improbable, there being a ferry in the middle of nowhere anyhow. Now it fits nicely. A town by the ferry. So the history goes: first the traveling route, then the market...

You may everyone decide, what’s your characters level of knowledge about towns outside your Bregowarian perimeter. Sythric and Raedwald should have visited it quite some times (not ever so often, but still). So they would be familiar with it. And if I recall it right, it was Eostre, who had been across the river before (or do I mess things up?). If yes, she should have been in the town too. Or anyone being there before...

I quess, that as many, or at least some of us, knows about the town, we should plan to eat our lunch there (we talked about being at the ferry at noon, didn’t we?): not using our small carry-along ratios, but to buy warm, wellmade food from a tavern or something.

But alas!

The town, as we reach it, is already deserted. Empty. Apart from occasional scavengers (wild-dogs etc.), it’s totally devoid of (other) living souls. We should note first some empty farmhouses, as we approach the town.

We should take the main alley / road / street – whatever – and ride along it, through this deserted town. You just come up with anything you think your character makes of it. (I was thinking about some posts about riding slowly through the ghost-town...)

As everyone is “happy” with the situation, I’ll take us to the ferry to meet our small challenge.
