LUMBERYARD 'GALADON DOCKS' DOCKS (927)
The Lumberyard (Suggested for levels 1-10) is an area adjacent to Galadon. It lies 5 steps south and once east of Market Square. Most creatures in the lumberyard are non-aggressive, though it's said some of the rats there are as big as a cat and twice as mean. Most mobs in the lumberyard are neutral or good. Be sure and consider them before killing if you have a problem with killing lightwalkers. Most of the creatures there can be easily dispatched by a skilled adventurer on his own, though some of the tougher ones shouldn't be attempted until later, or at all. If you find yourself stuck there, be sure to look for the cook in the southwest corner of the yard. He sells a good selection of food (And his brownies are the kind that sing and dance in the forest- not the kind made out of chocolate). There's also a healer in the lumberyard, near the cook, who can fix you up should you find yourself feeling hurt or poisoned. The merchants in the lumberyard carry good sums of copper on them and are useful for gathering money at low levels. There are a few pieces of useful equipment in the Lumberyard. One is the green tunic, carried by the Elven surveyors, which can help increase your strength if it isn't already at maximum. The other two items, the black leather sleeves and charred leather bracer, are carried by a Dwarf named Tarus who runs the lumberyard. The sleeves are prized because they increase hitpoints and hit roll, and the bracers are known for their ability to increase hit and damage rolls slightly.
