last one: (unless I have time to do a drawing for you of the kobold concertina and bowed saw orchestra.)

or this: (you know the old joke: Question: If a bagpipe and an accordian fall from a twelve story building, which one hits first? Answer: Who cares?) (I'd be amused to see what the party would do--I'll bet after your first description of the cacophany, they'd be ready to slaughter all...

Hmmm .. . . no, but picture this: You are walking through the market. There are all these gawdawful noises. The source of the worst of the noises seems to be the bagpipe stand, but there's heavy competition for the title from the calliope and the clarinet and concertina wielding buskers...

What an excellent suggestion, Spatzimaus. Much as I like the volcanic steam calliope, it occurs to me that what would be even more fun would be a series of competing noise generating things. You know, when you walk through a county fair, there's always the barkers, and the music from a dozen...

Hey. That gives me another week to dump ideas on you. (You sure we couldn't call this place "Akin Groin?") It occurs to me that the stuff that makes bleu cheese blue is basically mold. Maybe there ought to be a stall for that stuff. No cheese, mind you, just the bleu stuff. And volcanic hot...

I should think the odd thing about meeting people who live quite so far "down under" is that they've never seen the sun at all. Aeos? What's that? And why has your circle shape emblem got a jagged edge? Somewhere inthe bazzar there's a vendor of --uh--bioluminescent mold? Or, uh, a hat monger...

In case you think of a cool word to use as the first part of the name, here are some generic names for a place deep undergound where a couple of tunnels converge (since this isn't a "city" per se): Junction/Knot/Cross/Splice/'Fluence/Tangle/Groin Sump/Seep/Slough Hole/Pit/Tunnel/Fall (You...

Didn't you once have a race of rat people in your underdark? Maybe the Defenders ought to need to hire one for a guide--like that kid in the Majipoor Labrynth--Hissune? You remember--the one who charges the visitors 3 copper to get guided through the maze of twisty little passages to an...

oldies but goodies--Bard jokes Q: How can you tell when the stage an undead orchestra is playing on is level? A: The lute player is drooling out of both sides of his mouth. Q: What is the difference between a ghoulish minstrel and an anchor? A: You tie a rope to an anchor before you throw it...
