Nightstone is a ruin. The people who lived here are gone. Maybe it's time we were too.
Tactics
- Quick search
- Grab any obvious loot
- Look for the horse whistle
- Don't linger
- Search the keep
- The guards are dead, but they might have left notes or maps
- Check for supplies before leaving
- Pick a direction
- Where did the Nightstone villagers flee to?
- Is there a larger town nearby?
- Follow up on any leads about Kella's contacts
- Travel
- With horses if we can get them back
- On foot if we must
Pros
- The snake escaped - whoever Kella reported to knows. Best not to be here when they respond.
- Gets us out of a ruined town with no resources
- Moves toward civilization and answers
- Less chance of another ambush here
Cons
- Leaves questions unanswered
- Might miss important clues
- Without horses, travel is slow and dangerous
Best If
Nightstone has nothing more to offer and we have a lead to follow.
