A Caravan Gathering Site

Loudman is quite an odd town.  On one hand it's a proper town, but quite small (except for several large inns), and on the other hand there is a large series of light-fenced enclosures where I'd have expected farmland to be.  The enclosures are bustling with traders and their large carts, there is even overspill beyond the enclosures to the south.  It looks like the place is packed full of people, but it isn't.  All the carts and all the goods being transported make it appear as though there are more people here than there are.

Of course, it was dusk when we arrived last night, and none of this could easily be seen.  We did check-into an inn immediately upon our arrival, of course, and we cannot see any of the enclosures from the inn.

We'll be having a wander round this area today, but we really want to talk to incoming caravans.  It's hard to predict if any will be here - but it's been a few days since any came up the wilderness trail, so we might be in luck in the next day or so.  If we can't find anyone arriving soon, we'll just set off and speak to some of the locals in the area of South Caldonacia.  I've already talked to a few of the traders in our inn, but that's drawn a blank.  We need to try and locate where the bandits are hiding out.
