The Palisade is said to lie beyond the
Wind Gate (4)
, the northern gate that leads outside of town. The
gates have been sealed and guarded since the goblin attack, and no one may pass until they have obtained
permission from Lord Ulbrec... and serve in the Targos Guard.
Just east of the Wind Gate lies a
strange ship (5)
with a balloon on the top. Hedron knows very little about
it, but you both caught a glimpse of it as the Wicked Wench sailed into port. It must have arrived in Targos
recently, but who flew it here is a mystery. It bears checking out.
There is a
teamster’s house (6)
in the eastern side of the town, but, like the carpenter, Hedron says that
the teamster and his family have long ago left for Bryn Shander, so the house is likely to be empty or else is
serving as a boarding house for some of the Targos mercenaries who have nowhere else to stay.
Hedron says that you should head for
The Town Hall (7)
when you get into town and meet with Lord
Ulbrec to start earning your pay as soon as possible. Lord Ulbrec Dinnsmore and his wife Lady Elytharra, an
elven enchantress, are said to make their home in the Town Hall, and despite Hedron’s contempt for lords
and ladies, he grudgingly admits that Lord and Lady Dinnsmore “aren’t a bad sort.” Still, he has warned you
that Ulbrec’s known for his short temper, and tells you not to be surprised if he barks orders like a dog when
you meet with him.
