[QUOTE="roversaurus, post: 117816, member: 3388"] I'm pausing before I whack :-) I haven't gone back yet again to look. So I don't know what was on the location page. But I remember several points about the location. First the boat jam itself was a novel idea. I *think* the author had text on why the jam ocurred. But there was information about all the vendors taking the opportunty to sell food and drink. There were minstrells as well. And there was a map. Which would be needed in case there was some fight. And there was at least one boat described. The one with the cleric and his entourage. Now I can't remember if the location decription was clearly seperated from the encounter. But my only point was that it *was* a location. And I think it is a very interesting one. I didn't vote for this entry, but I thought it had one of the best locations. Well one that would BREAK the rule would be one that had no location. In fact the entry I voted for (Fooled and fooled again) pretty much broke the rule. I don't recall any location. I guess there was a fountain and statue. The description of it wasn't even a full sentence. I don't see much else about the location that would be useful. The vendors selling food. The minstrells. beggars. Nothing you wouldn't find elsewhere. The travelling cleric might be interesting, but he wouldn't be there the next time you passed this point in the river on busy day. (Aside... Maybe another encounter idea is one of the vendors or minstrels or beggars is somehow causing the boat jam? Felling trees down river. putting a hole in a large boat??) hope all my attempts a quotation worked... [/QUOTE]
