[QUOTE="LazarusLong42, post: 1045622, member: 9620"] Those of you coming into Alten's Rock for the first time will notice that, even though it's relatively small, it's highly cosmopolitan. The main square, a large grassy field, is lined with shops of every type--including, of course, the Hog's Back Inn--and the city guard seems--well, if not lax, at least a bit diffident. If you're not making trouble, they're not going to make trouble for you. The Hog's Back would seem spacious if you were here at noon, but it's early evening, and the place is packed. There are several dozen tables, and half a dozen barmen and barmaids harriedly serving the customers. Nojin, Grunlor and Arkan are being served by Cala, a human girl of--maybe--15 years. Kelta remains at the actual "bar" or back in the kitchen, overseeing everything that happens. Those of you (almost all of you) who have joined, at one time or another, the throng surrounding the posted message, notice an interesting timbre to the mutterings of the locals. "A great reward, but my farm needs tending..." "If only my wife would let me look into it..." "Right, and give up the business?" Many of them seem to think that Alten's Rock is, perhaps, not the place to advertise for adventurers. Tuli looks around, seeing if there are any purses that are obvious targets, but notices none. However, someone notices [i]her[/i]. Tuli feels a hand on her shoulder, and turns around abruptly to see Kelta standing behind her. Kelta isn't a large woman, but given Tuli's stature, she certainly [i]seems[/i] large. She smells of a host of good things--meat, potatoes, and ale. "I saw you sneakin' around, lass. You don't want to get yourself caught with your hand in someone's pocket. Besides, people around these parts keep their purses pretty close. I--" Kelta looks at Tuli queerly, steps to her side and looks at her in profile. "I could swear I've seen ye before. Have you been in Alten's Rock before?" [/QUOTE]
