Finding the Inn 8 hints left
Woman: "Follow the drystone wall for half a mile - when you reach Bewlay, go straight ahead to find the market square."
We're in town to meet a man named Leonard Shoulder, but can't remember where his letter said he'd be.

What letter?

Thankfully, Miss Bateman still has the letter in her inventory - you can access it by moving your mouse to the top of the screen.
From there, right-click on the letter in the first inventory slot to read it.

What did it say?

The letter made it clear that Mr. Shoulder is waiting for us at the 'Plough and Furrow Inn', somewhere in Bewlay.
Note that you can see all of the exits and interactable objects in the enviroment by holding down the space bar.

Where is the Plough and Furrow?

There's no point in wandering around aimlessly - try asking someone.

Who should I ask?

After reading the letter, a woman appeared on the other end of the platform.
Try asking her about the Plough and Furrow.

What did she say?

Click the signpost icon to see her directions.

What now?

We know where we're going - leave the station and follow the dry-stone wall.

Tell me where to find the inn.

Exit the station via the gap near the sign, then proceed right a few times.
You'll find the Plough and Furrow on the far-right side of the market square.

What now?

How you deal with the drunkard outside is ultimately up to you - once inside, though, we'll need to book a room.
