OOC: Sorry Shayuri, I should have been clearer, the hut isn't on fire, it's just smoke from his fire inside.
Anemone can see now obvious way to hide a ship or boat, as there is nothing but marsh surrounding the hut, bar the riverside, and jungle upriver.
As you get closer, you can see the man poses no obvious threat at all, and his babbling becomes intelligible, "Carvings! Hand-made items of geat value! Discerning gentlemen - and ladies!"
The ship has now reached the floating dock, and the man has run inside his hut. He comes out again, still chattering, "Yes, here we are, precious stones, unusual rocks, elegant wood!"
"Ho there, fellow," asks Balama, "What have you got there?" she says in a cheery manner.
The rake-thin man with a scraggly beard clambers on board the Starchaser. He could be any age between 40 and 60, and appears to be quite excited to see so many people. Setting down his trinkets on the deck, the riverman goes up to Anemone and immediately starts pawing her obvious items (the magic items, you dirty-minded folk!) "Hmm, yes, very elegant, lovely material. Would you care to make a trade, young lady. Indo's the name."
