[QUOTE="Pure Puppet, post: 3305693, member: 23019"] Hmm. Overview. Hmm. Do I have such a thing? Why, yes, yes I do. Lakefleet, The City of Rafts Lakefleet is actually a series of houseboats connected by collapsible ladders - a floating city. The population is mainly human, with a few elves and halflings as well. Lakefleet is a center of trade - if prospects are bad in one area, they can simply sail to a new one, and this flexibility gives the merchants unrivaled opportunites. As might be expected, the primary diet in Lakefleet is fish, as fresh as it can get. As a result, aspiring chefs from all over the country travel to Lakefleet, hoping to learn in the kitchen of Kevin Bluefin (LG Human Expert 17), the greatest chef in all of Lakefleet. The leader of Lakefleet is Corselia Seneca, a former navy tactician who's getting on in years. Despite her advancing years, her mind's still sharp, much to the chagrin of a few of Lakefleet's overly-ambitious merchant princes. Corselia is expected to retire soon, and there's quite a bit of a jockeying for power among Lakefleet's elite in preparation for when that day finally comes. One of the most famous structures in the City of Rafts is Blue Mermaid Inn, run by a family of shoal halflings (Stormwrack p.45) named the Waverunners (Singular Waverunner). The inn is built on a fairly large raft, rather than a houseboat, and extends below the surface of the raft, allowing aquatic races to use the inn as well. There are several stories told in Lakefleet centering around the Inn as a place where human and merfolk lovers meet - these stories range from the baudy to the romantic. Talia Waverunner, the clan's only bard, knows all of these stories by heart and is currently working on turning one of them - a tragedy - into a play. Adventure Hooks: -Kevin Bluefin might hire the PC's to track down his wayward daughter, who has run away from home to avoid being tied down to the restauraunt... - ...what he doesn't know is that she's actually a sorceress, capable of using [I]alter self[/I] to disguise her appearance. -Any one of Lakefleet's merchant princes might be willing to sponsor the party in an attempt to earn prestige and respect among his peers... - ...conversely, they could also be willing to manipulate the party in an attempt to make their rivals lose face. -A human noble hires the PC's to escort him to Lakefleet as bodyguards so he can meet his merfolk lover at the Blue Mermaid... - ...oh, but it's a secret, and there would be a scandal if it got out, so could one of you please disguise yourselves as me and act as a decoy? Reply if you like it, ignore me if you don't. [/QUOTE]
