This is an adventure that took place under Fondfield.

Many of the player characters were off adventuring, when some servants disappeared, and one was found dead, in a store room under Falla Keep. This keep is the home of one of the town commanders. A ‘scratch force’ of adventurers went down to find out what happened.

What they found was, expect a tougher force than they figured it would be.

Gate at B1: West gate

Gate at F10: East Gate

Gray buildings are barracks for militia or military. Light green buildings are for merchants. Purple buildings, except the circular one, are for town leaders or wealthy merchants. There are ponds and horse troughs around the town. The very small squares are small guard towers. That is a cobblestone footpath connecting the square towers, not a wall.

The town walls are near the map border, and have round towers on them.

Some odd street names ? Yes. Why are they named Control Road, Winder Street, and Clock Road ? Because in Ancient Times, they were part of a clock. The remains are buried around 20 feet down. Clock Road covers notches cut in rock, the path for a gear… The people who lived here long ago maintained the clock.

Sometimes a person traveling through the area will dream of a giant clock ‘tick tock tick tock’. Any mention of that to a local will get a shrug and then the traveler is ignored.

Do locals dream of Giant Clocks ? Yes, but they put it to too much food before sleeping for the night.

Does the long gone Giant Clock dream ? It isn’t here to be asked questions, it has vanished from Crestar.

Smaller than Bigdale, population is 450.

The walls don’t make a complete circuit, and there are lots of thatched roof houses along the main road through town. Two large Inns, across the road from each other. Meldale does have public ponds.

There isn’t much here.

Near Groz, on the Inland Sea. North of Winifree is the Outer Ocean and the equator.

The Kukh River to the lower right has two branches coming down from Troll Mountains. They join up and head for the Outer Ocean.

The old name for the Mound Forest was Grinning Skull Forest. Somewhere in there, so it is said, is a large happy grinning skull.

The Kukh River doesn’t always flow and provide healthy drinking water. Sometimes is is very dangerous to drink from it.

The Smiling River and Kolosh River run clean and often. The rains that fall on Toola Mountains keep them flowing.

The Grand Duchy of Winifree is mostly Lawful and Good, but not Lawful Good. They are surrounded on land by Evil. The Troll Mountains are best to be avoided.

The small red squares on the map are generalized locations of castles.

Note that one end of Mound Forest is Lawful, the other is Chaotic.
