Finished my Toll Booth.
It sits on the north road from Heiligsheld, manned normally by 2 men from the Counts fortified manor.
Out the front on a bodged old sign are the blurred and worn toll fees, some less than generous road users say the signage is faded on purpose so the prices can be inflated.
As for the Toll Booth itself, whilst study with a single arrow slit to discourage people from trying to batter down the door, it is otherwise unremarkable.
Mostly the lads who are on duty linger about outside, hence the barrels.
On one barrel we see a bottle of cheap rotgut and the skull of the very first Toll Keeper, Jan Tresor. People say he drank and smoked so much that his mouth became rotten early on in life, but somehow even as a lowly toll keeper he managed to find the money to have gold teeth made to replace his own.
He was quite lucky like that, so the lads who are on duty keep his old bone box around as a good luck charm, hoping his fortune will rub off on them.
On the wall are some posters, one of which is of the famous fiddler, Anna-Sophia Muter.
She is a very accomplished musician, made more popular with bored toll keepers due to her tight clothing and bawdy songs.
The other posters are about codes of conduct for games keepers and road wardens by Herr Doctor Stillman, and the last a poster detailing the most recent hangings in the nearest town.
Below we see the brothers ‘Spider’ and Heff.
Once part of Martyn Hauer’s mercenary company but now in service to Count Halven.
