Chapter 2A - A Jaunt Into The Country

[Nocturno]

"Uh, what?" Vic looks at the thing. Unsure if he should swat it off or pet it.

[Chris1234]

Val heads to the door while Unbar starts to load paperwork into his own backpack.
Vic stares out of the corner of his eye at the creature clinging on his shoulder.

It stares back and then folds its wings and licks his ear.

Nature skill check if you wish.

[Nocturno]

"Well, aren't you friendly. Is your master down there?" He points to the hole.

"Care to come along for a ride?" Vic follows his party members to the next building.

[Chris1234]

The creature hisses and then climbs down into Vic's arms.
It has an isistant, but not threatening, hold on his sleeve that would make putting it down on the ground difficult..

"Hey now. Up on the shoulder. We are following the big one."

[Chris1234]

The creature nestlles into the warmth of Vic's elbow and under his arm as its claws engage firmly with the cloth of Vic's sleeve.
He can feel their sharpness.

[Squirrellord]

"We should get a visual on the elf. Keep together until we know this place is cleared."

[Chris1234]

Val waits outside while Unbar finishes filling his backpack and Vic fails to disengage the unusual cat from his clothing.
With the pack on his back once more, Unbar emergaes to see Val standing just around the corner.

A head, Isaril's, apprears above the parapet of the nothern drawbridge tower. [#2A] It looks around briefly an then disappears from view.

The unexplored windmill [#10] and the southwestern watchtower [#2F] lie ahead to the west of the trio. The windmill sits atop a ten foot high grassy mound. There are several more craters before reaching the windmill.

[Nocturno]

"Giants throwing rocks from a castle.." Vic will muse out loud.

[counterkid]

Let's head to 2f. Let's leave the windmill to the end.

[Chris1234]

It looks as though something like a falling rock punched through the roof of this tower, collapsing every thing but the outermost wall.

A quick search of the debris unearths the broken remains of a ladder and a battered wooden door with broken hinges. The door is six foot high.

======
There is nothing else here to be found.

[counterkid]

"There is nothing here to see let go to that windmill across the street.

[Chris1234]

Several sets of goblin tracks are clearly visible in the muddy path that leads up the hill to an the doorway in the northwest side of the windmill.
The windmill's interior is dark, gloomy, and filled with wooden gears and cogs that help turn the millstone..

[counterkid]

"I can't see in the dark. Do any of you have a spell that can light up the area? There might be some goblins in this windmill we need to be ready."

[Nocturno]

"Not me, but once the door is open, I'm sure it will shed some light on the situation."
