[QUOTE="Mal Malenkirk, post: 4860831, member: 834"] The Fisherman's Alley market had sprung illegally in the most convenient location; it was officially a public square dedicated to Arek Steelsheath, one of the Five, the heroic swordmistress. A magnifient statue, 20 feet high, still reminded everyone of the place's original purpose. But the location was ideally located near to the docks and on a well travelled street toward the heart of the city and so soon vendors and peddlers were squatting the square. No effort to clear the square had ever been successful and soon the authorities just gave up. Now it was a sprawling affair with stands and tent everywhere and a thick crowd that made navigating the area difficult at best. It was bordered by worn out apartment buildings that rented cheap due to the persistent odour of fish driving down the value. This was a problem that Harann, a somewhat well known elderly retired adventurer, had used to his advantage. The sophisticated and cunning half-orc barbarian had bought for cheap a location near the market and had opened a restaurant without kitchens! His waiters had arrangements with the nearby vendors. He even mitigated the odour problem with the use of a curious enchanted statue of a sea gull that acted on the mind of people to convince them they were smelling and hearing the sea. His ancient partners had thought he was crazy to claim it as part of his loot instead of an enchanted weapon, but now he enjoyed a much more prosperous retirement then they did. He had named his establishment, logically enough, the Raging Sea Gull. [sblock] Okay, why are you in Fisherman’s alley? Obviously I spent so much time describing the Sea Gull because it is a good option. We likely have a few of the PCs who are simply enjoying one of the more unusual restaurant in the city, and one serving damn fine sea food to boot. Of course, most of you are almost broke and it’s a lot cheaper to buy the same food from the stands without paying extra for the service and ambiance. Some of you are probably just wandering in the market for that reason. Speaking of almost broke; surely at least one of you could simply be living in an apartment nearby and be home. They are dirt cheap and nobody really lives in the Hanging Man Tavern, no matter how it may seem at time! If none of these reasons appeal to you (You aren’t broke and you don’t eat fish), you can simply be passing through. The market is near a busy street. Do not all choose the same option, I want you scattered accross the map at the beginning. Maximum of 3 in the Sea Gull, 2 living in the appartments, 2 shopping in the market and 2 passing through (Yeah, that's more than 6, I know, I don't want to completely dictate distribution either) --- 1 Montroya (EvolutionKB) Deva Invoker 1 2 Matlal Atzintli (Ecce) Human Barbarian 1 3 Tor (powerofbaka), longtooth shifter ranger 4 Mesa (Stringbean2142) Razorclaw Shifter Druid (Unaligned) 5 Jarel-karn (Velmont) , Genasi Swordmage 6 Andrec (Tomolak), Warlord 1 You can start posting IC to describe what your PC is doing.
