[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 5777015, member: 1210"] First off, I just noticed that you are a new poster- welcome aboard!- and a fellow James (we Jameses gotta stick together!). But taking the whole "entering a city for the first time with no specific destination" and a different city from my campaign as an example, I might say: "Ulborey, the City of Salt, is built along the edge of a cliff, both on top and below. Even from outside the city you can see long stairs cut into the cliffside, as well as some sort of elevator arrangements. As you get closer you see the people of the city are a mix of the sallow-skinned humans of the area, halflings and gnomes, and a smattering of others. The whole place smells very salty, and the lower part of the city runs up almost to the oceanside. It looks like the cliff is pocked with caves, and the upper level has a variety of large, fancy-looking houses on it, each with gardens and the like giving a good amount of space between it and its neighbors. The buildings on the lower side are largely wooden, small and crammed together. What are you doing?" [/QUOTE]
