After escaping the spider-infested dwarf mines Nazom and Vinifera returned to the harbor town of Riva, along with Thorgrim, Boronian, and Mule-Mo.

Thorgrim and Boronian went home for the time being, and the two heros went on a shopping spree.

You have to read the inscription of the scroll. "Gardianum." It creates a bubble of magical protection around you.

The next morning comes soon enough and at last you start your long journey.

The well-paved road allows for rapid progress and soon the walls of Riva and its towers disappear behind you.

After just two miles you reach Orkrath, a village, or rather a suburb of Riva itself. The farms here mostly belong to wealthy farmers who can sell their crops at high prices in the city. Besides the farmhouses and a few guarded merchants' villas, Orkrath also has a tiny shrine to Hesinde, the goddess of magic and wisdom.

The road deteriorates significantly after Orkrath. However, it is well-trodden and easily passable.

In the afternoon you reach Ulva, a tiny fishing village with 180 inhabitants. Besides the inn, which doesn’t even bear a name, there is nothing exciting about this hamlet. There is a coal mine nearby though.

At the end of the third day of your journey you reach Trasik, which is slightly larger than Ulva and has 200 inhabitants. Nivesian hunters often sell their game here. There's a small shop where you can buy everything you need for hunting. Spelt farmers, fishermen, and shepherds live here.

So far… nothing out of the ordinary has happened.

Boronian checks his stock "No, all good. I've only used up 1 ration so far."

The two mules are holding up well, they have no issues carrying the load and the road has been good so far.

[I'm removing 1 ration from all of you and 5 silver for road expenses, like inn stays.]

The inn is a rather sad affair compared to the homely places in Riva.

There's a single warm fire place in the middle of the sole large room with seats around it. The guests sit there quietly around the oven, chrew tobacco, sip their schnaps, and talk about better times that certainly will come one day.

As the hours grow longer they even begin to sing.

The songs bring at least a little cheer into the gloomy atmosphere.

Fina seems rather uncomfortable and decided to head to bed early.

The farmers talk about the spelt harvest, the fishermen about the bad weather out at sea. At least no orcs every came into the vicinity during the great war... so things could certainly be worse.

>>553
There was only a single dorm room upstairs for travellers (which were usually merchants). Fina was sitting in the bed, reading the diary at the light of a small lantern.

Epic Mount!Hero.tYu2gCountry code: gb, country type: geoip, valid: 1  555

I knock on the door.

There's no door, just a curtain. And it's a single room for everyone. A hunter from outside of town is snoring in one of the other beds.

Fina looks up... "Oh, yes, all's good. I just don't like the atmosphere down there. Makes you throw yourself out of a window."

Epic Mount!Hero.tYu2gCountry code: gb, country type: geoip, valid: 1  558

You try some for a piece of copper. Disappointing is all you can say!

>>558
"Vinifera, I think this inn is all the village has to offer. They don't even have a temple or a shrine." she laughs and closes the diary.

Epic Mount!Hero.tYu2gCountry code: gb, country type: geoip, valid: 1  560

>>559
I chortle. "Fina, you don't need an inn or a temple to have a good time. I grew up in Aumond, it was practically a village than a town. I used to help pick the grapes from the vineyards with my sisters and help crush the grapes. I used to play amongst the woodland that surrounded the vineyard. The trees would turn from green to passionate colours of orange and yellow by harvest time."

A'ight, but let's leave some notes.

>They travelled from Riva and currently at Trasik, a fairly large yet quaint town.
>We're at the nameless tavern.

Fina shrugged. "Maybe, but then Aumond at least has a vinyard to explore. This place has nothing at all, except for this inn. Also, it's late at night."

>>561
As you explore the literal backwater you notice that there is a second building of interest except for the inn. It's a shop where you can buy all the things you could dream of for exploring the wilds. Alas, it's late at night and already closed.

Epic Mount!Hero.tYu2gCountry code: gb, country type: geoip, valid: 1  570

"Well, maybe there's something we can find with a little imagination."

(Is there like, a map, or anything around the Inn that maybe of interest? I grwe up in "boring towns" so there's usually something to do even if it's nothing fancy.)

This village is so insignificant that there's not even a map... The inn is at the center of town with all the other building in a circle around it. The shop is next to the road.

You ge another cup. Boronian in the meantime seems to have gone to bed. Fina and Vinifera notice him coming in quietly, picking a bed, and bidding you a good night.

There's coast to the west and forest to the east. There's also a river, the Nurak Transic, which flows into the sea here.
