[QUOTE="Kelleris, post: 2159324, member: 19130"] I ought to get you to write down all these, for possible pilfering. All my knowledge of cant comes from [i]Planescape: Torment[/i]. Keys: [sblock] You rack your brains for anything that might help make sense of the situation - or prepare you for whatever dangers this place offers. Unfortunately, you don't come up with much. You do recall seeing little chapels like the one before you in other run-down areas of town, but you don't know what the significance is. You also recognize [URL=http://thebards.net/music/lyrics/Down_Among_The_Dead_Men.shtml]the old woman's song[/URL], badly whistled though it is. The "Services Rendered" sign could mean anything, though the business is likely the kind that relies on established customers. Possibly something black market, with a front shop. Or maybe a brothel or an unlicensed fortune-teller. Your sweep of the street doesn't reveal much else, other than that the place is unsually clean for such a ramshackle street - no rats, no squatters, no refuse-piles. Focusing on the landmark spike, you can read a few of the larger graffiti, though. Most are the usual rubbish, proclaiming the love of two people you're fairly sure you don't care a bit about, or cursing the local boss. Others are seemingly nonsensical, jumbles of overlapping letters written by someone with dubious skills at the writing of Common: "OGV(something like a crude lightning bolt or jagged bit of material)BYIR" or "nahwod?nyt" Some of the very largest ones are carefully-drawn and slightly luminescent sigils of some kind - you have no recollection of anything similar, but you're not really a mage, are you?
