The Haunted Mountains area

A hill fort, kobold and orc villages, and a set of caves. Mostly a wild area. Merchant caravans hire many guards of various levels to cope with attacks.

Rumors of human brigands were spread years ago, but half-elf patrols found their camp. From the looks of it, orc raiders had attacked and killed them all.

Large numbers of trees don't seem to grow well in these hills and mountains.

It is unknown if the light gray mountains, or the dark gray mountains, are the originals.

There are fish in the rivers, and it is claimed they are very tasty. But don't fish alone or in small groups.

The Maidar River goes to the River Watch to the southeast.

Western Hill Fort (16)

A hill fort of half-elves. There are humans, a few dwarf and elf travelers, and a few halfling merchants. But it is run by half-elves. A small group of homes are owned/rented by retired adventurers.

1 through 5 are retied adventurer homes. Number 5 has a basement and a sub-basement recreation area so they can 'keep in shape'.

To the northwest are two small farms growing potatoes and corn. The browning field is fallow for a season or two to recuperate.

Blu's Inn and Stables. Nice place, currently owned and run by the Greenfields' family of halflings. Blu died over a century prior.

Smithy, horses and oxen shoed. Sometimes cheerfully.

Storage buildings. Lock boxes and bins. Guarded, monthly or yearly rentals.

Shops: shoes, boots, armor, arrows and bows, swords and maces. Pikes by special order.

Handcrafted items. Various items like backpacks; satchels of leather; stone daggers, stone axes ( some monsters don't take damage from metal ); boots; adventurer clothes including jackets, hats, gloves, and knit caps. Coats and other winter gear must be ordered.

Barracks, where the various military who guard this town live.

North Keep. Once the only inhabitation of this fort. A plaque on the first level tells a bit about the early defenders, and their names of those lost to orc attacks.

Jolly Keep. Not exactly a place of laughter, but more to do with it being the second defense put up. North Keep inhabitants didn't feel so alone anymore.

Adventurer house 5) first floor. a nice place to sit and chat. 7 comfy chairs, rugs, and a fireplace. The owner, one Greg the Stout, doesn't keep food here as the other adventurers would eat it up. He goes over to the Inn and eats their food. Spiral stairs connects the bedroom to the basement and the sub-basement. Also has a trap door into the basement.

Here we go. 6 maps, and 6 text files separated out.

747 kilobytes for all of it in a zip file.

You're welcome.

Looks good.

Works okay for me. I do have a new computer that is much faster than one I had last year at 3.6 GHz. My previous one was 1.6 GHz. Same memory at 8 gigs of ram. Win 10 takes about 1.5 gigabytes to operate just itself.
