For the Map Group: You've been banished from the town that wasn't. But there's always a bright side - this area is much nicer than the canyon, and looks like an ideal spot to set up camp. A barrier of fog is keeping you from re-entering the town.

For the Compass Group: After your rest, you've managed to get back to the town where you met the mysterious woman. Everything's exactly as you left it - except now, there's a tower in the middle of town? You should check it out.

[ mission: map group: rest. compass group: investigate the tower! ]

For the Map Group: After taking down the assassin, morale is teetering and everyone is weary. At least you've finally reached the village, which doesn't look at all how you might have imagined it: everything is bright and tidy, and the smoke you'd seen from afar had been nothing more than the bakery's chimney. As you enter the town, you notice there are people walking around, seemingly oblivious to the carnage in the canyon.

For the Compass Group: You're tired of walking. There's a long stretch of orc and corpse-free land, and it would be a perfect spot to camp. After the beating you endured in the caves, there's no way you could keep going without taking a break.

[ mission: rest and recuperate. ]

For the Map Group: You lost the orcs for now, good job. Your next stop is the burned out village. But not so fast, your past is about to catch up with you again. Maybe you should do a better job of cleaning up your messes. There's a person laying in the middle of the road and they're definitely alive if the gurgling noise is any indication. You can see the village in the distance up ahead, but it's a long distance and you should really help this poor dude.

For the Compass Group: If you keep following the canyon pass trail you'll come upon the village. It's burned down. Some of it's still smoldering, but there's nobody in sight. Well okay there's bodies. But they smell. There are banners and burning arrows lodged in buildings and the dirt that suggest the orcs raided this place and left it in the condition it's in.
