((Information in this post supercedes Info in the Previous post, in the case of conflict.))


1. City Gates
-The city gates lie open as the constant traffic of soldiers and refugees flows in and out, in a seemingly constant flow. The gates are manned from above by a skilled group of crossbowmen, and sentries ward the gate, armed with swords, shields and halberds. The Northern Gates are unmanned, but barred. There is a causeway to the north of the city that is a serviceable route across the river, and could be used to access the northern gate, should it be opened. The southern gates are now largely open, with the south-eastern edge of the walls lying open, with a large hobgoblin encampment lying just outside.

2. The Blue Parrot (Tavern)
-The Blue Parrot survived the worst of the Goblin onslaught, as the members of the local guild were regulars there, and streamed from the tavern to conbat the advance of the Hobgolblin attack. It has also invested heavily in Axenhaft secutity.

3. Axenhaft Security
-Axenhaft security, true to its marketing campaign, managed to stymie every assault that was made upon it, while the surrounding area is in turmoil Axenhaft security operates as normal. Some guardsmen and citizens armed with ranged weapons have taken up residence in the upstairs rooms, at a charge, of course.

4. Gavriel Arms and Smithy (Shop)
-Despite the protection and patronage of most of the town guard and citizens, Gavriel Arms and Smithy fell to the Hobgoblin attack, though Gavriel and his workers managed to get out, with plenty of supplies to support the defence of the city.

5. Brindol Market Place
-Is the closest thing to a battleground that Brindol has currently. It suffers under constant attacks from the hobgoblin forces, the buildings surrounding it have changed hands numerous times during the fighting and the square itself has largely been ruined, but the defenders have managed to construct numerous barricades from the wrecks of the stalls that used to be residents of the square.

6. The Marooned Schooner (Tavern)
-An active guardpost for the defenders of the city, and loaded with food, and drink. Any loss of this much loved tavern, would be a large blow to the troops morale.

7. Teskerwill Manor
-The teskerwills have left their manor, but have long ago entrusted it to the guild. It serves as their day-to-day headquarters, when the leaders of the guild are out of town, and the keep is out of use.

8. Shrine of the Open Door (Temple – Avandra)
-Never intended to be a defensive poisition, and widely open to use, the Temple was symbolically open air, with only some rooms closed off, with few valuables. The temple serves as a rallying point for forces on the north side of the city, and has a number of adventurers standing guard at all times. Possible to get a night's sleep here if you need to.

9. Brindol Gentlemen's Club (Tavern)

12. Antler and Thistle (Tavern)
-Once one of the more popular of the taverns around the city for locals, known for a particularly potent brew known as the Thistle's kiss. The tavern was lit alight however, and blazed beyond the town's fire-fighter's control, and is now mostly in ruins. The owner still survives however, and most of it's patrons man the barricades nearby.

-The home of Adonis and Hercules, and the site of the city's gaol. It was heavily contested in the last days fighting, and was only abandoned upon Hercules' death, Adonis the last to desert its walls.

19. Haskinar Mansion
-The Haskinars are just as rich as the Kaal family, but liked to spread their wealth around amongst the people much more. They had been holding well against the assault, before the defenders were forced to fall back. Nothing has been of heard of them since.

22. The Silk and Spoon (Inn)
-Notorious for being a refuge for those looking for love amongst the adventurer ranks. The silk and spoon is an area with a tavern that has mood lighting, nice gentle music and silken sheets.

23. Moondust Temple (Temple – Sehanine)

27. Chatrenn and Sons (Inn)
A family inn, used to accomodating many guests from out of town, in particular the dwarves of the mountain, and have tall enough ceilings to accommodate Goliaths. Nothing has been heard of this building or its occupants since the Hobgoblin assault.

28. Alpenglow Trading House (Shop)
-A makeshift quartermaster's store for the defenders, the owners have taken up arms to defend the city, but were later killed. They left the building to help the defence of the city. If it was lost to the defence, the defence would have a trouble outfitting any new rectuits they find.

-Not particularly loved, as it was frequented mostly by drunkards and gamblers. Nothing has been heard of this building or its occupants since the Hobgoblin assault.

30. Avandrian Hostel (Inn)
-A general barracks of the defence, of great moral importance to the defenders, as it is one of the few places in the city, where adventurers can still get a decent night's sleep. It is well stocked with food and other supplies also. The backroom serves as an impromptu short-term infirmary for those who can't (or won't) get the help of a cleric.

31. The Red Door (Inn)
