I’m southwest of the mountains, near the shore. There's an abandoned village here.

A central square, strangely paved, surrounded by several metal longhouses and an odd tower at one end. It's been abandoned for quite some time.

Huh. [ The curve of his mouth, a lightness to the murmured syllable—that's as close as he comes to sharing in her exhilaration. ] Look like they were after something in particular, or they just take whatever they could get their hands on?

[meadqueen]

They took everything. All that remains are the empty cases on the walls.

[Abruptly; she just noticed it while looking at something else]

Oh, there's another tower!

[aluminumandash]

In jumping distance? [ Hilarious...fortunately he snaps back to seriousness almost immediately. ] Bigger, smaller? What kinda shape's it in?

[meadqueen]

[Ha ha] I could try, but I don't think I’d enjoy it. I estimate about an hour’s walk from here.

Much larger than this one - both taller and wider. It looks more like a fortress. There are several smaller thatched-roofed buildings near its base. I can't tell the condition from here, but it's upright.
