Odo places a couple pieces of silver on the counter at the inn, looks to the innkeeper and says...
This should cover my drinks from earlier. My apologies for rushing out earlier. It was... unavoidable.
Odo turns to the mute...
Shall we be on our way?

Verm, Your Guide to Wailing Street
Verm motions you along and heads out. Verm sets a demanding pace, so that it is all you can do to keep him in sight. In fact, his speed makes it difficult for you to remember your route. You arrive in Wailing Sreet in about ten minutes. Verm is almost a block ahead of you. He looks back, confirms that you have made it, points to a streeet sign, smiles, salutes you, and vanishes into the crowd.

Crossing Slave Market Plaza to Wailing Street
The Adventurers now stand at the western edge of Slave Market Plaza, and large, round, cobblestoned area filled with merchants and hawkers of various wares. There is only the vaguest sense of order to the place. To the east, the continuation of what is Wailing Street to the west is called instead Festival Street. There is only one way before you to go down Wailing Street, and you can see that the street ends about a fifth of a mile further to the east. On the north side of the street you see a carpet shop in a fairly large and well-to-do-establishment. Next door to the west, however, is a Perfumer's shop that is positively opulent in its size and grandeur. Across the street to the south, the first block outisde Slave Market Plaza appears to be vacant, but on closer inspection it seems that only the business facades are vacant, and the spaces between, above, and behind them are being used as living quarters, a few qualify as actual houses, but more seem to be shanties, lean-tos, or just squatter's digs. At the western end of the first block of Wailing Street, on the south side, is what appears to be an abandoned temple of fairly large size. Odo and Shiyana both get a very uneasy feeling from the place.

Cam will look around the plaza with a slightly troubled expression when he sees the crowd. He begins to walk in the direction of Wailing Street keeping his eyes peeled for the Courtesan's Parlor. Just to be safe he'll also pull his coin pouch off of his belt and carry it in his hand.
"lets keep moving... There's so many people here..."

Crossing Slave Market Plaza to Wailing Street
When Camlin secures his pouch, he notes a shifty-eyed fellow wearing a great gray cloak that conceals everything about him but the two bright lights of his eyes. Seeing that Cam has taken this precaution, the fellow, who had been quartering up from the left rear coming toward the party of adventurers, veers off to the southwest in search of easier pickings.
In the Plaza, you see an auction being conducted for a very tall, green, trollish slave, but, as there are no bids being offered, the auctioneer is acting more as a hawker, trying desperately to drum up some interest in his wares, "Come on then, who's going to be the first to bid on this fine worker? You can beat him, you can whip him, you can stick him, and he just keeps coming back for more! Be the first on your block to have one! It's the latest thing, why this chap was wrangled in far away Sunndi, and here he is being offered to you, complete with full papers, too."

Noting the grey cloaked figure (and his exit) Shiyana wraps her billowing forest green cloak about her and holds her head high and scours the crowd with a "holier than thou" look in her turquoise eyes. She's doing her best to appear a lofty "powerful" druid.
She casts a disapproving look at the slave block and then her eyes turn to one of pity for the creature upon it.
"Deplorable practice. No creature deserves to be bartered and imprisoned in such a manner. All creatures of the Balance deserve to be free to live as the Balance wills." she mentions more under her breath than to any of her companions.
"How much?!" she calls to the slave trader.

His sharp ears somehow catching Shiyana's query amid all of the bustle of the plaza, the hawker says, "How much indeed! What am I bid for this fine specimen -- we'll start the bidding at a low price, say 20 Gold Sovereigns. Who will bid me 20?" A hand swiftly goes up from somewhere in the crowd. "There! 20, I have 20 bid, who'll say 21? Do I have 21?"
