(Oceas can try to use Diplomacy to get a polite, if somewhat cold, response.  Or he can use Knowledge(Arcana), with Spellcraft for a synergy bonus, to really make good contacts.)  If Oceas is looking to apprentice himself, there will be some people looking for likely candidates.  If he is looking to purchase anything, this is a good place to find people, but nobody does real business under the tents.  You can schedule a meeting though.There are a couple of interesting games.  Perhaps one of the more interesting is a 20' ladder planted in the ground near a greased pole with prizes hanging from it.  The object is to climb the ladder, jump to the pole and grab prizes as you slide down.  The difficulty comes from ladder rungs that disappear as you climb them.</blockquote>
