A Fork in the Trail
The trail continues its northern course up into the foothills of
the Greypeak Mountains, but it also forks to the east, heading
towards Skull Creek. The wagon tracks that have covered the trail to
this point only continue to the north, while booted footprints lead
to the east.
Exits: - North - East - South
A young man stands here.

<P> l man
Brown hair frames this young man's oval face, brushing the top of his ears.
Only the barest of tans graces his skin. A traveler's hooded cloak enfolds his
body, and hangs to just below his knees. Underneath the cloak, a rough homespun
cotton tunic and leggings can be seen. Thin arms grasp an oaken walking stick
still covered in bark. Slung over one shoulder is a small leather pack, with a
few tools and a rolled blanket sticking out from the top.
the young man is in excellent condition.

Well, that would certainly explain why they are still looking.
