"Hmm shame, well a deals a deal. The path to the mountains is treacherous, the mountains hold dragons and trolls and the terrain is difficult to climb, definitely not for a rookie adventurer like yourself. The plains are probably your best bet, you won't see many monsters probably only other travelers, not very exciting if you're looking for adventure but it'll get you to the next town and on your way. I don't know much about the swamps, not many people go there, it's easy to get lost and you'll probably encounter some nasty little creatures.
