Between Noah's scouting and a couple of customer recommendations, Tal had narrowed down his prospects to a single building on the outskirts of the Domiciles nearest to the docks and the skyport. The neighborhood was a little on the rough side - as in, a number of buildings hadn't been repaired yet - but civilization was slowly expanding back out in that direction and it wouldn't be long before the new post office was in the middle of a bustling little civic center.
Well, hopefully. And if not, it was still on the way to the port so people would be going past it anyways with any packages they wanted to get on a ship to elsewhere.
As he'd poked around it in the rain, Tal had determined that the roof looked fairly sound and most of the windows were covered by storm shutters that had kept out the worst of the weather while it had stood abandoned. Boreal had headed up to the roof to see if the chimney held any snacks surprises, and her companion finally steeled himself to step inside and see how bad the damage hidden by the shadows was.
And promptly came backpedaling out as fast as his legs could take him over the uneven ground, barely dodging the swipe of one large, stony fist. "Hey!"
A gravelly roar followed, and a hulking, stony shape lumbered into the doorway. It hesitated for a moment, but the ceaseless rain that fell upon the Hollowed Grounds kept the sun hidden behind thick clouds, and after a wavering test of the dreary grey stormlight it emerged fully, large fists swinging.
This is a PQ to help Tal build a courier station in the Hollowed Grounds!
Round 1:
Get the stone golem out of there!
1. Tal

3. Alys
4. Open!
Stone Golems (uncommon/mythical): Large, rocky constructs, these clumsy creatures aren't too bright, and instinctively will attempt to batter or smash anything that disturbs them. They can be found lurking sometimes in abandoned domiciles. They are very vulnerable to daylight, collapsing to dust under the rays of the sun.
