Being a scout recruit, im always looking for ways to
impress dedicate my life to the scouts. During the recent Minoc campaigns, ive thought that as defenders of the Minoc/Vesper area, we should really have an outpost in the area to keep an eye on the roads, and look out for loyalists.
Such a structure would do no good if it was obvious to the eye however, and so the idea for the scout lookout was born. The lookout would combine a small concealed camp with a hide, concealed in the trees next to the road, with a similarly covered path from camp to hide. In this way, the road can be observed with noone walking the road noticing.
I started by setting up the hide in a collection of trees next to the road, at a location i had decided would be best for the purpose - right next to the Minoc/Vesper crossroads. After some problems with the local snake population, the lookout was well on its way.
Using branch-lattices woven with leaves and branches, the entire hide was concealed, until it was near invisible from the road. A concealed path was set up which lead back the camp. A simple place for the scouts on duty to rest when it is not their shift. A log book was included so that reports can be made as to acvitity on the road.
I hope in the future to set up scout outposts all around the local area, up towards altmere, and even up to the Yew border, to gather intelligence on our foes.
