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
   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
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.

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.

On a Trade Path in a Narrow Ravine
   It is fortunate that this path is well-kept because it is quite steep here
and a poorly kept path could cause problems for merchant carts and wagons.
Steep rocky hills extend upward to the sides of the path, making it seem quite
cramped and uncomfortable, yet also offering a great deal of protection by
making it impossible for thieves to set up any ambushes here.  The path
continues down toward a deep valley and heads upward toward a small forest
clearing.

On a Trade Path in a Narrow Ravine
   The small hills that surround this narrow path rise up so steeply that the
path seems trapped within them.  Even stranger is the fact that the path drops
down so rapidly that what appear to be small, though rocky, hills from this
point appear to surround a very deep valley that is far, far below.  The path
continues its climb upward and heads downward to eventually lead to Woodseer.

On a Trade Path in a Narrow Ravine
   This steep path seems to plummet downward as it heads into the Rift Valley
Jungle to the north, and makes a steep climb up to the south.  Despite the
steep grade of the trade path, it has been kept quite smooth and easy to
travel.  It is clear that the halflings that live in Woodseer next to the Rift
Valley Jungle want to insure that traders and merchants can find their way to
their fine city.

On a Trade Path in a Narrow Ravine
   Imposing rock walls thrust upward along the sides of the narrow path.  The
path itself is quite smooth and, though the grade is steep, is relatively
easy to climb.  More heavily used than many paths of this type this trade
route is kept relatively safe by the sheer rock walls that surround it.  It
is also clear that the mountains that appear so huge from this low vantage
point, must have been created at the same time as the deep valley below.  The
trade path continues upward to the south and heads down toward the Rift Valley
Jungle to the north.

On a Trade Path in a Narrow Ravine
   Walls of jagged rock surround this narrow ravine and the trade path that
runs through it.  Merchants doing business with Woodseer must risk traveling
alongside the jungle in the valley below but that part of the journey is kept
relatively safe by the halfling scouts and sentries that have been posted
along the road.  This part of the trip though is somewhat tedious and boring.
Steep rock walls and the surrounding mountains block out the direct sunlight
at all but high noon making the trip gloomy and depressing, however, by the
same token, those same high walls keep the narrow path safe from thieves and
other more dangerous creatures.
