The cabin is as sturdily built as you remember it, even though it shows all the signs of years of serious neglect. It is a larger building than most that are found in this part of the world, and you have been told that in better times the cabin had served as the summer hunting residence of a Kalborean noble. These days it is nothing more than a convenient shelter for those few travellers who know of its existence. Made completely of stone and roofed in slate it will make a good campsite for the night. Cautiously you peer in through the open doorway and see that little has changed since your last visit. One half of the structure stands as a large, one-roomed living area, the other half lies segregated to the rear as a stable. As you remember it that part of the building runs as a line of stalls and a number of tack and work rooms. Years of harsh weather and harsher use have worn its edges, but it appears as solid as ever.
For safety reasons you do not camp in the main living room, there are simply too many ways that anyone wishing you harm can enter unnoticed. Instead you make your way through to the main stable and into a small area at the back of the cabin that once was used as a tack room. Here there is one door and no windows. With night now upon you, you lead Pallenten into the tack room and close the door behind you. A large piece of timber provides a good way to jam the door shut and with Pallenten at your side you get settled for the night. Even though you could very easily fall asleep from the fatigue of the day you will have to think about an evening meal first.
