Inside the Woodseer Gates
   Rusty gates are propped open here, obviously not in use for quite a long
time.  It seems the halflings either aren't terribly worried about invasion or
are a bit lazy when it comes to upkeep.  Guards patrol the wall above and the
area of the gates watching everyone with more amusement and curiosity than
caution.  An intersection of cobblestone roads can be seen to the west and a
narrow landing is to the east through the open gates.

Outside the Woodseer Gates
   Cracked but sturdy looking stone stairs lead down from this tiny landing to
the jungle valley below.  A narrow passage through the Woodseer gates to the
west leads into a thriving halfling city.  Stone walls, in need of repair,
extend along the top of the cliff to the north and south creating an almost
unnecessary addition to the steep cliff face to defend Woodseer from any
invasion. Halfling merchants can be heard hawking their wares and children can
be heard laughing from the other side of the stone walls.

On a Stone Stairway
   It is a good thing that halflings don't have any fear of heights.  This
cracked stone stairway is extremely narrow and there are no guardrails to be
seen.  The drop down to the valley below would be swift, and most likely end in
a quick and painless death.  Stone walls can be seen along the top of the
cliff above and a thin waterfall plummets over the edge of the cliff to the
south.  Cracked stone stairs, in dire need of repair, lead down toward the
jungle valley below and climb up to Woodseer.

   There are no guardrails to keep one from falling off these narrow stone
steps and making a gruesome fall to the base of the cliffs over 200 hundred
feet below.  All the same, the agile halflings bounce up and down this stairway
with little worry of falling over the edge.  To the south a thin waterfall can
be seen diving over the edge of the cliff into a small pond by the jungle far

   A guardrail would be very nice at this point.  The narrow stairway can only
fit two people abreast and is almost 150 feet above the ground now.  It is easy
to see that this stairway was originally built with security and not safety in
mind.  The only way to attack Woodseer would be to climb the steep rocky
cliff to the north and south or to come up this stairway, either of which are
easy to defend.  Stairs lead up to Woodseer and down toward the jungle below.

with little worry of falling over the edge.  To the south a thin waterfall can
be seen diving over the edge of the cliff into a small pond by the jungle far
below.  Stone stairs rise up toward Woodseer and head down to meet the valley
below.

On a Stone Stairway
   It is a good thing that halflings don't have any fear of heights.  This
cracked stone stairway is extremely narrow and there are no guardrails to be
seen.  The drop down to the valley below would be swift, and most likely end in
a quick and painless death.  Stone walls can be seen along the top of the
cliff above and a thin waterfall plummets over the edge of the cliff to the
south.  Cracked stone stairs, in dire need of repair, lead down toward the
jungle valley below and climb up to Woodseer.

Outside the Woodseer Gates
   Cracked but sturdy looking stone stairs lead down from this tiny landing to
the jungle valley below.  A narrow passage through the Woodseer gates to the
west leads into a thriving halfling city.  Stone walls, in need of repair,
extend along the top of the cliff to the north and south creating an almost
unnecessary addition to the steep cliff face to defend Woodseer from any
invasion. Halfling merchants can be heard hawking their wares and children can
be heard laughing from the other side of the stone walls.

Inside the Woodseer Gates
   Rusty gates are propped open here, obviously not in use for quite a long
time.  It seems the halflings either aren't terribly worried about invasion or
are a bit lazy when it comes to upkeep.  Guards patrol the wall above and the
area of the gates watching everyone with more amusement and curiosity than
caution.  An intersection of cobblestone roads can be seen to the west and a
narrow landing is to the east through the open gates.

On a Stone Stairway
   There are no guardrails to keep one from falling off these narrow stone
steps and making a gruesome fall to the base of the cliffs over 200 hundred
feet below.  All the same, the agile halflings bounce up and down this stairway
with little worry of falling over the edge.  To the south a thin waterfall can
be seen diving over the edge of the cliff into a small pond by the jungle far
below.  Stone stairs rise up toward Woodseer and head down to meet the valley

On a Stone Stairway
   A guardrail would be very nice at this point.  The narrow stairway can only
fit two people abreast and is almost 150 feet above the ground now.  It is easy
to see that this stairway was originally built with security and not safety in
mind.  The only way to attack Woodseer would be to climb the steep rocky
cliff to the north and south or to come up this stairway, either of which are
easy to defend.  Stairs lead up to Woodseer and down toward the jungle below.

On a Stone Stairway
   Two people can travel abreast on this narrow stairway.  The stones are well
worn by the passage of many feet and are very sturdy, but there are no
guardrails to prevent someone from falling over the edge.  At this height one
can see down into the lower branches of some of the trees to the east.  Tree
branches throughout the jungle below and to the east are alive with birds and
monkeys as well as other creatures that are not as easy to identify.  The
stairway continues up toward the Woodseer plateau and down to the jungle.

A Trade Path Heading into a Ravine
   This narrow trade path heads down into a ravine that makes a sharp drop
down into the hills to the north.  The steep descent shows that what appear to
be unassuming hills here must become some fairly imposing mountains further to
the north.  A number of small juniper bushes and a few small trees dot this
area as the path heads south toward a small forest clearing.  Dank, humid air
seems to struggle its way out of the ravine to the north, where the narrow path
makes its steep descent, but otherwise this area is quite peaceful and calm.
An unnatural darkness fills this area.
