with the bullywugs that drink beside them. The room is so crowded and smoky
that it is difficult to even notice the second room that lies further to the
north. The halfling, human, and other visitors here have a dark nature to
them, one that fits in well with the evil tendencies of the bullywugs.

The smoke here escapes slowly through cracks in the all, but not fast enough
to prevent it from building up to an almost suffocating level. The drunken
bullywugs far outnumber any of the other visitors, making them very cautious
not to anger anyone. Drunken bullywugs are a sickening sight, their waddling
bodies lose all grace upon the land in the first place, their drunkenness just
makes it worse. In addition, drunken bullywugs are even more likely to attack
others at random, it is not unheard of for bullywugs to get into a fight that
lasts until they both pass out.

This entryway has a certain forbidding quality to it, not due to its
sturdiness but rather the gloomy swamp that lies beyond. Bullywugs have made a
village here, and despite their evil, the nearby halflings are unwilling to
risk fighting them on their own ground. The moist swamp is their true home and
the bullywugs will do anything to defend it. Even without the uneasy truce
with the halflings the rickety gates would likely stand as wide open as they
are now. The gates and fence simply provide markers of what the bullywugs
consider their territory.

Standing wide open, the gates to the north reveal a clear view of the low,
swampy portion of the jungle that the bullywugs have claimed as their own.
Nobody has tried to contradict their claim, but then, few would want such land
in the first place. With their moist skins, and bulbous eyes, they are suited
for the jungle swamps, adapted to the moisture and the darkness. The fence
enclosing the village is made up only of thin stakes planted deep into the
moist ground and would be easy enough to knock down. Rather than real
protection, the fence and gates appear to be more of a territorial border, a
claim to what they believe is theirs. The jungle continues to the south,
east, and west, and the gates into the bullywug swamp lie to the north.

domain, daring one to be bold enough to enter their home. Even the stout
halflings who make their home so nearby hesitate to fight them on their own
ground. Only fools would dare to challenge such creatures in their own
domain. The gates to the village can be seen further to the west, and the

It is hard to decide which is more overwhelming, the darkness, or the dank,

Twisted roots and fallen branches line the moist ground, adding their scents
to the putrid air. A poorly constructed fence blocks passage to the north,
protecting a small swamp where a tribe of bullywugs has created a village of
decrepit buildings. The jungle stretches off into darkness to the south,
east, and west. It is clear that just to the west the jungle is more well-
traveled, and that the halflings of Woodseer extend their patrols to that
limit, but it is also clear that they go no further into the jungle.

The rumored gloom and darkness of the Rift Valley Jungle is becoming more

sinister aspect to them that is hard to explain. A bullywug village can be
seen in the swamp to the north, though the fence that surrounds it blocks
much view. Humidity and the ever present stench of rotting vegetation add to
the gloom, making this a truely unpleasant place to be. Halfling scouts will
come out into the jungle this far, to keep watch on the bullywugs, but never
travel any further. The jungle continues to the south, east, and west, and a

almost orange, hue to it and exudes the faint aroma of almonds. Monkeys can
be heard screeching to the northeast and bird calls penetrate the dank air of
the forest. The jungle continues to the north, south, and east, and a low
wall of lose rocks is to the west.

A Young Jungle
A bit more light than usual seeps in here during the daylight hours due to
the clearing to the south and the low wall of lose rocks to the west.
Everything about this spot smells of death though, and the close proximity of
the road to Woodseer doesn't provide much consolation. Dark green leaves and
stems look even darker here, taking on an almost black cast to them. The
occasional bright red and yellow flowers add some color to the
forest, but they don't make it feel any safer. This part of the Rift Valley
Jungle is quite young, something must have cleared the jungle some time ago
because all of the growth here appears to be less than twenty years old.
Despite its youth, the jungle grows quickly, and the dank air here already
smells of the rot and decay that helps sustain the huge trees of older rain
forests. The jungle continues to the north and east, and there is some sort
of cleared path to the south.

A Trade Path Along a Deep Pool
A trade path has been cleared from the jungle, which looms threateningly
to the north and east, running both west and south at this point to get
around a deep rock-lined pool to the southwest. A tremendous cliff further
to the west forms a impressive defensive wall for the small city of Woodseer
that has been built on the plateau above it. A thin waterfall shatters into
millions of small water droplets as it slaps the jagged rocks of the cliff
face to the southwest until the water finally comes to rest in the deep pool
that can be seen below it. The trade path continues to the south and west.

A Trade Path Along a Deep Pool
A narrow trade path has been carved from the jungle here, allowing
relatively safe passage to the halfling city of Woodseer. A number of stern-
looking halfling scouts can be seen wandering along the road, and through the
jungle helping to keep the road free of the dangerous creatures that make the
jungle their home. A huge waterfall to the west feeds the deep rock-lined
pool below, splashing water even out as far as this point as it plummets
downward. The trade path continues to the north where it bends around the
pool to run along the base of the cliff to the west, and to the south where
it begins to climb out of the valley through a narrow gorge. The stench of the
jungle wafts in from the east, with a smell as dark and foreboding as the
jungle itself.

A Trade Path Cut From the Jungle
Jungle vegetation of all forms has been cleared away from this point to
create a safer passage into and out of the narrow gorge that rises out of
the valley to the south. This trade path is well-guarded by halfling scouts
and sentries that do there best to keep it safe. The halfling city of
Woodseer is dependant upon the trade that this path provides and pay for all
of its upkeep. The trade path continues to the north along a rock-lined pool
as it heads toward Woodseer, and south where it enters a narrow ravine that
climbs out of the valley. The jungle can be entered to the east, for those
foolish enough to want that type of adventure.

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.

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
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
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
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.

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 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Vinestrong Way leads north and south along the Woodseer wall and Petalrich Lane

this must be the major business area of Woodseer. A wall of lose rocks and
boulders to the north blocks the way into the large Woodseer park. A doorway
to the south enters a large building built in the shade of a nearby jodani
tree. A sign over the doorway announces the store as, "Buzzle's Supplies

of wildlife. It is easy to see that the park ends to the north in a steep
rocky incline that leads up into the mountains. Some sort of rock slide once
buried the park but someone has spent a great deal of time and effort moving
the largest boulders and rocks to the edges of the park creating a wall. South
