-- Jaxson thinks: What was Burikal thinking? An Open-Air Wagonyard [18170] [NO_FORAGE POPULATED SAFE LIT SAVE] [N, E, Quit, Save] This huge area of land has been cleared into an open-air wagonyard and stable. The sandy ground has been covered with gravel and spent ore to provide traction for wagons and argosies that make their way into the camp. A roofed stable with many stalls has been built against the western wall, shaded by the overhanging catwalks. Wainwrights and employees of House Salarr dart about in a bustle of activity; they repair parts on wagons and argosies, saw wood and gather raw materials for transport, and haul heavy-seeming trunks and chests to and from the transports. Wooden platforms have been built around the outskirts of the wagonyard, providing easier travel for people passing through to the east and north. To the north, a cleared fenced area for sparring and training is visible. To the east, the center of the camp can be reached by wooden platforms alongside a gravel-strewn pathway for wagons and argosies. A tarpaulin-lipped stables is built against the western camp wall.

Within a U-Shaped Stables and Corral [28393] [POPULATED INDOORS SAFE SAVE] [Leave, Quit, Save] This sprawling U-shaped stable is built of wood and brick, providing a couple dozen separate stalls for mounts as small as erdlu and large as inix. A large central staging area for the mounts is replete with a small corral, allowing mounts to be separated and bred. A four-cord wide tarpaulin has been installed around the upper-lip of the structure, providing shade against the relentless heat of the desert sun for the majority of the stalls. The scent of dung and sweat and dust permeates the area, and the constant sound of bleating and insect-clicks fills the air at all times of day and night. A yellow sunback lizard is reclining here. A scarlet-striped war beetle is reclining here. The lofty, scatter-scarred man (Jaxson) is standing here. A scarlet-striped war beetle is reclining here, looking a bit winded.

(You look up at the lofty, scatter-scarred man (Jaxson).) This man has a bed of black hair atop his head which is slightly glossy and maintains a functional cut devoid of much style, avoiding his eyes and ears. Crisp, light green eyes peer out from broad sockets above a straight, aquiline nose and puffy-lipped mouth. While most of his skin is the color of caramel or copper, he is adorned with a myriad of lighter rose and pinkish blemishes that tell a tale of conflict and scarring. Broad-shouldered and tall, he is composed of defined musculature and an imposing stature, with his arms ending in thick forearms and calloused, large-knuckled hands. The lofty, scatter-scarred man (Jaxson) is in excellent condition.
