Small House
The whitewashed interior of the farmhouse is bare, with only the bare
necessities at hand. There is a stove for cooking and a hearth for warmth.
Wooden blocks have been stacked on the wall next to the hearth, ready for
use. A shelf contains a few well-read books. Two doors lead away from the
living room into two bedrooms and a trapdoor allows access to the attic. A
few pegs hang by the door, hung with coats, cloaks and shawls.
A sign hangs on the wall.

Like many who live in the Two Rivers, Tam al'Thor is a simple man making due
with his share of life as a sheepherder on a stretch of farmland outside the
village proper. And yet, like the many here of the ancient Manetheren
bloodlines, he is much more. Famous throughout the entire district as a
superb archer, he is rumored to have developed many skills in the outland
exploits of his youth, when he brought back a new wife and son.

Tam al'Thor is in excellent condition.

Tam al'Thor is using:
<worn on head> a straw hat
<worn on body> a green shirt
<worn on hands> a pair of leather half-gauntlets
<wielded two-handed> a quarterstaff
<worn about waist> a leather belt
<worn on belt> a soft leather pouch
<worn on legs> a black pair of pants
<worn on feet> a pair of light leather boots

The al'Thor Farm
This small farm lies in the heart of the Westwood. A small farmhouse with a
peaked, thatched roof lies to the north and crops grow in the fields
surrounding the farmhouse. A small vegetable garden can be seen near the
back of the house. The yard contains a stonewalled sheep pen and a small
barn, which contains two stalls. A wooden chopping block lies awaiting the
next time wooden blocks for the hearth need to be chopped.

Quarry Road
The Quarry Road passes by a small farm that lies to the north. A wooden
farmhouse with a peaked roof, a stable and a sheep pen surround a yard. A
field for crops lies beyond the farmhouse. The road is rock-strewn and
overgrown and only the fact that the trees of the Westwood have been
cleared suggests there is any road at all.

Bend in Quarry Road
The road bends westwards and northwards, around a particularly thick stand
of trees that lies directly to the east. Old boles of oak and beech grow so
thickly together that little light reaches the ground, causing the ground
to be devoid of any underbrush worthy of note. A small farm lies to the
south, its outline clearly visible due to the lack of tree coverage.

Bend in the Road
The trees almost seem to give way to the road, although the stretch of
rock-strewn grass that snakes wedged between the Westwood trees is barely
recognizable as a road. There are no ruts and no path has been worn out in
either the grass or soil, suggesting the road is used infrequently at best.

Quarry Road
The Quarry Road runs past a large farm which lies directly to the north. A
white wooden gate encloses a small yard before the house. Above and beyond
the peak-roofed wooden farmhouse and stable, a rectangle of open sky is
visible between the encroaching treetops of the Westwood. Just to the west,
the road curves out of sight towards the south.

Quarry Road
The road is nothing more than a grassy lane between the trees of the
Westwood, with only a few patches of bare earth exposed due to wear. It
bends out of sight to the east, and passes by a large farm to the west. The
farm looks carved out of the Westwood, and the trees appear to have been
cleared for quite some distance to allow for farming.

Bend in the Road
Rock-strewn and uneven, the Quarry Road that traverses the Westwood is not
so much a road, but a track that has been cleared of trees. On the side of
the road, a snarl of last year's bramble spreads brown webs over stone
outcrops under the trees. Nettles number most among the few weeds; the rest
are the sorts with sharp burrs or thorns, or stinkweed.

* HP:Healthy MV:Full >
Tam al’Thor says ‘See what, Rand? It’s just us on this road.’

* HP:Healthy MV:Full >
Rand al’Thor says ‘Did you see a strange man on a black horse, whose cloak didn’t move with the wind?’

* HP:Healthy MV:Full >
Tam al’Thor pats Rand al’Thor on his head.

Tam al’Thor says ‘It’s getting dark, let’s keep moving. You must just be tired and seeing things.’

Bend in the Road
The road twists through the expanse of the Westwood, bending north and
east. The surrounding forest consists of thick trees, tall shrubs and thick
undergrowth, clustered together tightly. Only a few patches of constantly
moving light reach the ground, even on the road.

Quarry Road
The Westwood hedges in the Quarry Road on both sides, as if it were a
living, green wall. To the south, there is a break in the canopy, marking
where a tree has gone down. There are openings into the forest towards the
north and the south, allowing for travel deeper into the woods.

* HP:Healthy MV:Full >
Rand al’Thor pulls his cloak tight and grips his two-rivers longbow, knuckles turning white.

* HP:Healthy MV:Full >
Rand al’Thor says ‘I’m sure something is out there… I sure wish I hadn’t wasted all of my pracs on these crummy bows.’

* HP:Healthy MV:Full >
Tam al’Thor frowns.

* HP:Healthy MV:Full >
Tam al’Thor says ‘You should have listened to me and maxed out your pracs in longblades. Bows aren’t even implemented properly.’

* HP:Healthy MV:Full >
Rand al’Thor says ‘I realize that now. And it cost me three whole points per prac!’

* HP:Healthy MV:Full >
Tam al’Thor peers closely at Rand al’Thor, trying to figure him out.

* HP:Healthy MV:Full >
Tam al’Thor shrugs.

* HP:Healthy MV:Full >
Tam al’Thor says ‘Look, Rand, let’s continue to Emond’s Field. We’ll be safe there and we can relax at the Inn for the night.’

* HP:Healthy MV:Full >
Rand al’Thor nods slowly, not looking convinced.


* HP:Healthy MV:Full >
Rand al’Thor says ‘I… I am sure you’re right. I am just tired from a long day in the orchard.’



There's lots more written but not finalized or fleshed out, sadly. Only just realized the deadline for the roleplay competition was upon us and I wasn't able to get the rest together in time! I'll likely finish this at a later date, so here's the teaser!
