===Shard's Keep===
*The road north follows the pass through the mountains. Ever so often a side-road leads off to the east or west, deeper into the mountains. There are plenty of travelers on the road; merchants, freeholders, guards. At each sideroad the adventurers spy stout round buildings of stone, flying the cerise flag of the Baroness Arcaphia; garrisons of troops to guard the roads. As evening approaches the pass exits the mountains and the companions find there is a large inn at the mouth of the pass: The Shards' Keep, it is called. A stone wall tipped with wood palisade surrounds the building, containing stables, a smithy, and what looks to be a basic general store. A score of wagons are in the yard, accompanied by men-at-arms huddled around campfires.

The party is told the mercenaries are willing to camp in the yard, while they can stay in the inn proper. The interior is wide open and clean; it looks as if it is peopled largely by merchants and travelers.
