A
very
nice tree to sit
under. There is a huge
patch of shade underneath, a cool
breeze, and even some remarkably comfortable
exposed roots to sit on. Yes, this is a sitting tree for sure.

All this adventuring has made your legs tired. Just sitting under a shade tree enjoying the scenery and thinking about things sounds pretty good right about now.

From the Front Gate it was impossible to see just how expansive the grounds of Muddle Manor are. From under the tree, you can see a very impressive stone wall running from the front fence all the way down the whole right side of this field. You appear to be sitting in the most Southeast corner of the entire estate. That wall must be 5 miles long! (You can't even see where it ends.) Just how big IS this place?

As you peer down the length of the massive wall, you start to realize there might be some buildings way off in the distance. It's hard to tell from here, but if you squint your eyes real hard, it looks like a few tiny, greyish-purple blobs of foggy structures. What kinds of buildings would be located so far away? If you could just move a little closer, it would be easier to tell if they're really buildings, or just huge boulders out in a field.



Head back up the hill toward the Manor.
Walk closer to see if they're buildings or boulders.
See the Caretaker and hurry over to continue his long-winded tour. (Think he noticed you were gone all that time?)
"hmm... that looks like some sort of Maintenance Shed. Can't hurt to just take a peek..."
