Peddlers discover dead body. Sleeping Cat opens for business.ARABEL - Guests of the Lavender Lion were delighted at the discovery of a new feature adoring its popular Spiderweb Room: a female harp spider. A priest of Malar wearing costume armor and wielding a barbed flail, with skin painted gray and sporting a white, long-haired wig kept patrons from approaching too close, “lest Lloth become angered and hunt you in your dreams!” The harp spider played several popular harp songs by rotating over the center of its web to pluck at strands of webbing, and sometimes laid flat on its belly while its eight legs mimicked a pair of harps playing in harmony. Guests were allowed to feed the harp spider by hand at the end of their paid-for hour of dancing and cavorting.BLISTER TRAIL - Yesterday, peddlers on the Blister Trail discovered the body of an outlander. An obvious stab wound to the heart confirmed the cause of death. A fresh brand in the shape of a cat was visible on the corpse’s forehead. The peddlers returned to Immersea to summon aid in the form of Purple Dragons. The Lionar in charge, Yara Breakblade, noted the clothing on the corpse wasn’t Cormyrean in origin, but rather Tethyrian in make and pattern.WHELOON - The Sleeping Cat has opened for business. Taking its name from a once-popular eatery that burned to the ground half a century ago, this version of the Sleeping Cat features booths with curtains for private conversations along two walls. Its menu is small and to the point: stewed venison, goose, and pork handpies served with vegetables, and mead and brandy served in copper cups. Haspra Taerncole, great great grandniece of the adventurer Whelgar Taerncole, runs the establishment. Haspra chose to open the Sleeping Cat while the second floor of the building is still under construction. Until its completion, Haspra and the handful of folk she employs are making do in the stables (not yet occupied by animals) and a trio of lean-tos along the back wall of the Cat. The building is guarded by a pair of zombified ettins by night. By day the ettins are used to lift wood, furniture, and slate shingles to the second floor.</blockquote>
