The Grand Gate of Thalos
You stand in the archway of a gigantic stone archway. The two steel gates have
been forced open and have rusted in place. A hollow gust of wind blows by you
into the deserted, and seemingly destroyed, city.

A Ruined Trade Route
An old road leads between the thick dwarf forest and the city limits of
Thalos, the once great but now ruined city. It seems to have been left
unmaintained for centuries, slowly descending into ruin. Some animal tracks
lead into the city, and appear to be made fairly recently.

Things I should have done... not hobble a second time? I did it thinking maybe he wouldn't dodge every time.. should have gone for an overhead, shouldn't have stayed two handed at all while he was defensive (I only noticed I had disadvantage afterwords, I'm a dolt.)

Any suggestions?
