Smashed World, Part II

Hmm, was hoping for more posts before making an update of my own. Well...

The Coast is a beautiful city, and also one of the first to be founded after the retreat to this secluded valley away from the undead.
The buildings closest to the shore line are made of wood as it is easy to transport and still durable. As wealth started to accumulate, so have the new buildings that have rosen around the old become more expensive, especially in that they are made of stone brought from the mountain range surround the Valley.

A quick question to a passer by reveals that the Coast doesn't have any temples dedicated for the deities, but does have a general shrine next to the Kindom of Religion's embassy. Would you like to use that instead?
 



After a long walk, which includes quite a few backtrackings due to unexpected backwalls of houses, Durban and Lorcan come to the shrine.
It is quite a simple shrine, consisting of a wooden building shaped like a half-sphere. The outside is unadorned.
It is surrounded by a small patch of grass that looks very out of place next to all the buildings around it.
Two dwarves are walking along the grass, talking.

The entrance to the shrine is a strong wooden door, which is open as the two come to it.
 





Haplo finishes his drink and enjoys the warm tingling sensation at the bottom of his stomach for a while. He then heads back to the stables where Tserof is walking around its stall, obviously nervous. As he enters, however, it lightens up and tries to spread its wings only to hit them to the sides of the stall.


Horros listens to the rumour mill that is so normal for any inn.
"I heard there's a spell on the beer. Makes you horny so that the lady can have her way with you."
"...heard just yesterday that the mayor is the one behind the threats himself..."
"My cousin heard from a client of hers that the rogues are trying to take over the city."
"I heard that some of the farmers are intentionally going to raise the price of potatoes by farming less of 'em, increasing the need."
"There have been reports of surviving halflings that are the cause of all the disappearing stuff in the Coast."


As Lorcan and Durban approach the dwarves, they catch the end of their speech.
"...isn't giving in to our demands." Said by the male dwarf that is clad in a merchant's outfit.
"Then we must show him that we mean it." Female dwarf wearing a cleric's robes and carrying the holy symbol of Moradin around his neck.
As they notice you, they stop their conversation and the cleric addresses you. As she talks, the other bides farewell and leaves, heading around the shrine.
"Good day, are you looking for something or is there another way I could help you?"
