This path is much smoother and less steep than the slope that, now, curls
up behind you back into the wilderness.  Wheel marks have been imprinted in
the ground; they continue north along road, headed in the direction of one
the many active mines in the area, most likely towards the processing plant.
From this vantage point it is possible to make out the towne's square and
the flow of large figures bustling in and out of the adjoining stores.  
Something that looks like a bald-headed monkey twitches as you approach.
