[Act IV, Scene I] The Road Ahead
Travis crouches to drag a branch across the upturned soil to map out the path ahead for his new companions.
The elevation steadily ascends northwards, so even with the floods you shouldn't need to use the boat again.
The next settlement is Southwatch, a day's journey on the trail. It's almost certainly been overrun with orcs by now.
Half a day north from there is Bone Chasm. It was once used for executions and disposal of plague victims. There's a shrine to the Solar Faith nearby to deal with the occasional restless soul who won't stay dead. There's a stone bridge leading across the chasm.
Another half day's journey from there is a barracks that watches over the Sentinel's Tower, where wizards safeguard things the kingdom deems too dangerous to bet let free.
Beyond that is a day's slog through a swamp that contains a Druids' Grove.
Then...one more day's journey...is Castle Braunstein.
