A Muddy Trail~
   Your feet squish down into the mud, making each step a struggle to pull 
your foot free.  This trail looks heavily travelled with wagon tracks and 
horse hooves turning it into a thick muddy slime.  Through the thick 
forest to the east you see the western wall of Bellau City.  Through a thin 
covering of trees to the west you see a massive body of water.

East Lane~
   A battlement above the main gate towers over you to the north.  You are 
on a lane that parallels the eastern wall of this fortress.  You can follow 
it to the south or enter the courtyard to the west.  Out in the courtyard 
you see a couple groups of people talking amongst themselves.  Maybe they 
can give you some answers to what's going on.

road branches off to the east.  Several people are standing around in the 
courtyard looking at the main gate, but no one is leaving.  You notice 
guards are blocking anyone from leaving the castle.  It looks like you 
might be stuck here.

none of them are going towards the gate.  They all look at each other and

by the blade and then burying it in the middle of a bale of hay 20 feet

The ground here has been plowed and several serbs are dutifully picking 
rocks out of the field and throwing them into the lake.  You duck as they

A Muddy Trail~
   You are covered in mud from the knees down, it's almost impossible to 
keep your balance in the slimy road.  The trail narrows and the forest has 
already began to reclaim the path as it's own.  The western wall of Bellau 
City is still to the east and you hear the gentle lapping of waves on the 
shoreline to the west.
