VoH: 1. Prosperous Farm Cottage & Large Barn
This wood and plaster house is well kept, and the barn beyond is bulging with hay, grain, and so forth. Several fat animals are about. Two large farm dogs bark at your approach, and a rosy-cheeked goodwife appears at the doorway.
Purpose / Function
- There is nothing here of interest to the adventurers.
- Other than feed grain or hay, the farmer has nothing to sell or trade.
- However, the wife is chatty and if engaged she will say she doesn't like the merchants.
Entries
- The large goodwife is friendly, greeting all who call, while her four children look on.
- Inside, a young girl and her old granny do various chores.
- The lintel over the front door is carved with acorns and oak leaves. If politely asked, any adult in the family will state that the family is of the Druidical Faith.
- The head of the house and his two full grown sons are at work in the nearby fields.
