In the morning, under a sunny sky and after a decent night's sleep (12sp at the inn), you pause to read the signpost in the town square -
The Imperial Road: Northeast: To Arble, Iver and Jorl
Southwest: To Vandrake, Mobile and Tybol.
South: To Lodas Clearing and Alvaran.
West: To Vomit and Tybol.
- and then ride northeast.
The traffic today is perhaps even busier, and you notice more military types. You pass several convoys of mounted soldiers heading southwest. Indeed, there are times when your progress is being hindered by the troops taking up the road.
That night you take rooms in a crowded inn.
