[QUOTE="Isida Kep'Tukari, post: 1157460, member: 4441"] *Winter, none of the politicos seem to be out this early morning, so you're free to wander the market a bit. The scowling dwarven gem guards only seem to deter a few people, though most of them are gawkers. You're easily able to get close to the booth, and with your elegant clothes are given a bit of respect and deference by the red and gold-clothed dwarven merchants. A simple, open-sided tent of brilliant white keeps the sun off the stall, and the gems are displayed in locked, glass-topped wooden cases lined with what seems to be black velvet.* *Most of the gems are medium-sized, about the size of the end of a human thumb. They'd make an impressive centerpiece to a necklace. You even see at least two that are indeed the size of a human man's fist; one is a faceted, brilliantly purple stone with hints of blue and red in it, and the other is a fire opal, smooth and round. There seems to be no common stone, you can see stones of all colors and types. A particularly portly dwarven merchant whose beard is braided with small gold chains with small red stones comes over to you after several minutes of looking.* "May I be of assistance, noble sir?" he asks, his voice a deep bass rumble. *Winter, you also notice that not very many other people seem to be wearing weapons. As a matter of fact, most seem to be wearing only an eating knife. You knew Mezro was considered a holy city by its natives, but in the North holy cities do not necessarily mean that one can walk about unarmed. Perhaps here it is different.* *Halark, Dorcha quietly pays a porter to take the rest of your things (and his) to an inn once you find one (he'll send a message back to the docks). He doesn't wear his armor, and carefully puts his warhammer in his backpack.* "The porter mentioned that most people don't carry weapons here sir, he said it's because the city is holy to the Chultans," Dorcha tells you quietly before taking his usual traveling position of behind and to the right of you. *After a bit of looking around you manage to find a nice-looking round inn that seems to cater to relatively wealthy travelers. It's called the Rainbow Bird, and is painted in colors that seem almost gaudy to your eyes, with bright flowers that bloom in windowboxes under each large, open window. Inside it's somewhat cooler and pleasently dim. A skylight in the center of the room lets in a brilliant shaft of sunlight; no other lights are about aside from the front windows.* *The inn's common room is about a quarter full, mostly of northerners, but a few have the darker skin of native Chultans. All are dressed well, mostly in light cotton or silk, and all with jewelry.* *A few birds, roughly the size of a hawk but with broad winds, a blunt black beak, and brilliantly-colored plumage sit on the rafters, on along the curved bar along the back or the room, or on the windowsills.
