[QUOTE="Lord Zardoz, post: 3681598, member: 704"] Given that Sigil is essentially a large horizontal torus that is oriented sideways on the top of a large spire somewhere in the Outlands, is there even really night and day? The sort of deals you describe probably would be in the Hive district, and happening at all hours of the day. As for encounters, I think you can probably run any sort of encounter that does not involve a direct contact with a Diety other than the lady of pain. I think that the following kind of questional deals are likely to be encountered. - Soul trading, as previously mentioned - Press gangs looking for soldiers in the blood war - Recruiters for the various planar factions (Doom guard, Xaositects, etc) - Mundane slave trading Now, my own suggestion is to run the most blatant "WTF" kind of encounters. - A young, pre-adolescent halfling girl with a voice like James Earl Jones asking the party cleric if it may lick their holy symbol. - A blind half fiendish gnome asking any player if they are willing to sign their name into "The Book", but unwiling to explain why he would want them to do so. - A starving half mad Githyanki begger who is begging the players to take some money from him. - A talking pig selling pork chops to passers by that the pig is cutting off it himself and cooking on the spot. They are very tasty. - A Seraphim offering to buy teeth from the players, holding a small hammer with which to remove them. - A shady man in a trench coat who gestures the players into a dark alley, and asks them if they would like to purchase a foot. In his coat are a half dozen feet of all sorts. The one thing that all these ideas have in common is that they probably have nothing to do with anything, and you can be sure that only the most adventurous of your players will actually go for any of these deals.
