Among the Barbaric Huts 
  The village looks different from this perspective than it did standing on
the hill. For one thing, it is obvious how different the huts are from one
another; some are sturdy, stone-framed dwellings, others are thatched oak,
and still others little more than tarpaulins on a tent-pole held down by
rocks. Another thing is the smell, and the decor. Each hut has in front of
it a trophy -- a testament to the prowess of the one who dwells within.
While some trophies are animal in nature -- several wolf skulls here, a
gargantuan bear-pelt cloak there -- others are (or were) obviously human.
Most of the humanoid corpses are wrapped in flowing robes, often decorated
in archaic runes. All trophies are in various states of decay, and the
odor can get a little overpowering at times.

An Opening in the Forest Trail 
  You come to a wide opening, barely enough grass to even call a meadow.  
Great trees stand at a distance from a city to the south, silent observers
to a great fortress of ruined rock and stone.  Not a single creature appears
to be heading to the south, along a small path through the forest.  To the 
north, you can see the dirt of a wagon-marked road.  Perhaps you should turn
back and head there.

are distinctly those of giants, and probably lead toward the ruins further to

A Secluded Forest Trail 
  Here the trail appears to be less dense.  Large trees form a small canopy of 
shelter from the harsh environment that dwells outside of this forest.  The
ground has small patches of grass and moss, most of which has been trampled
in its attempt to grow on this traversed ground.  Dead leaves, both brown and
orange litter the path here, as if fall is an eternal season this far south.
You can continue along the path further south and to the north.

The Gates to the Streets of Anguish 
  Great gates of iron mark the entrance to the city streets.  This is
the flank end of the ruins, where the merchants and often allies of
these looming giants enter the city streets in comfort.  Guards walk 
the ramparts and you can easily note the glares you get upon entering.
There is a lack of wood on these buildings, much of which are solid stone
that make the foundation of this stronghold.  Great spires reach into
the air toward the east, shadowing you as well as most of this narrow
street.  You note the sounds of pain that come from further along
the street.  There are also cries of hatred and anger that come from 
some of the nearby shops and alleys.  These streets were aptly named,
as anguish seems to be the only emotion in the air.

The Gates to the Streets of Anguish 
  Rusted gates of iron mark the entrance here.  An eerie silence is all that
you note while walking through the gates.  Dark shadows serve to remind you
that there could be some form of life hiding among the wreckage here.  Some
pillars of stone remain here to serve as signs that this was once a city,
or stronghold of sorts.  The ruined gates sit to the north of you.

The Breaching of the Walls of the Ostalagiah Ruins 
  You climb atop the pile of rubble and ash which once stood as the
western wall of Ostalagiah.  It served its purpose well, but not well 
enough.  It now stands in ruins, smoldering remains of what was once a
mighty city.  After many years of war the united fronts finally destroyed
the wall, through which a flood of dwarven, elven and human soldiers came. 
After freeing the slaves, ransacking the city and turning the walls to
rubble, the united front turned around and headed back to their respective
homelands to the north.  While that ancient war is over, the sight of 
distant burning fires and a village settled to the west of here gives one
reason to believe that it is not the only war that occurs throughout these
ruined buildings.

Before a Fortified Hillock 
  A large mound of earth has been pushed up here, forming a strategically
planned barrier to the village just beyond. Behind the earthen barricade
stand the gates -- heavy, massive, fortified iron gates that require much
muscle-power to move -- and beyond them you can see the faces of numerous
huts, most looking as rugged as the hills before you. In the distance,
people move about within the secluded village, and smoke drifts up from
various campfires and cookstoves. The gruff sound of barbaric voices drifts
to you on the wind, as does the occasional burst of laughter and clang of
metal.
 
[Exits: east west]
A massive giant stands here, prepared to sacrifice himself for the village.
A massive giant says 'Welcome, great warrior.'

wilderness <198hp 440m 970mv 11752tnl (22.68%) 12 PM> Among the Barbaric Huts 
  The village looks different from this perspective than it did standing on
the hill. For one thing, it is obvious how different the huts are from one
another; some are sturdy, stone-framed dwellings, others are thatched oak,
and still others little more than tarpaulins on a tent-pole held down by
rocks. Another thing is the smell, and the decor. Each hut has in front of
it a trophy -- a testament to the prowess of the one who dwells within.
While some trophies are animal in nature -- several wolf skulls here, a
gargantuan bear-pelt cloak there -- others are (or were) obviously human.
Most of the humanoid corpses are wrapped in flowing robes, often decorated
in archaic runes. All trophies are in various states of decay, and the
odor can get a little overpowering at times.
