[QUOTE="FloatingDisc, post: 4370804, member: 72222"] The sun is at its peak over the city, and everywhere merchants, slaves, nobles and labourers head for the dockside taverns and cafes to escape the stifling heat. String and wind music from the cafes mingles in the narrow cobbled alleyways, and the stench of the fishmarket down the street fills the air. At one end of the street, two city guards of the Day Watch are arguing with a trader whose wagon is blocking access to an alley where a slave carting a rickshaw (literally [I]filled [/I]with an obese nobleman) is trying to get past. A small crowd has gathered to watch, and generally shout and make noise. Lacerdan crowds love a bit of noise and, with a bit of luck, violence. To your left, going on unnoticed by the majority, two thugs dressed in leathers and furs under dirty brown robes are menacing a tiny kobold in a tiny back alley. One has the kobold's wrists held over his head in one hairy fist, while the other waves a shortsword in it's face. The kobold's meagre belongings, a bedroll, a small backpack and a sack of dried fruits, lie spilled on the ground. [I] The alley is two squares wide and eleven long. Corrin is at the end of the alley, standing in the main street looking in. [/I] ______________________| |_|_|_|_|:eek:|_|_|_|_|_|_| |_|_|_|:devil::rant:|_|_|_|_|_|_| :cool: | :eek: = kobold :devil: & :rant: = thugs :cool: = Corrin This isn't an invitation to just launch into combat, just giving you the situation so you can make your own decision on how to react! Also, I probably won't make all combat encounters this way, I just thought it would be a simple way to map out a simple encounter. (Feel free to use a different smily for Corrin by the way ;)) [/QUOTE]
