[Quickleaf]

Really appreciate you sharing your work here [MENTION=12731]CapnZapp[/MENTION]! Very useful for establishing the wonder of Chultan markets.

Have you given any thought as to what might be sold at the Hall of Gold (Waukeen's temple) in Port Nyanzaru? The sources I have on Waukeen go into scant detail of her church & specialty priests.

Lock lurkers do seem to be associated with Waukeen. And back in AD&D lock lurkers were an ingredient for oil of etherealness...which can't be found elsewhere in the adventure and could come in handy facing the Sewn Sisters earlier on (before getting Strawbundle's Charm).

Elsewhere (Peril at Port D&D Epic), Mother Sibonsensi – head priestess of Waukeen – is described as having the largest mercenary army in Port Nyanzaru, so much so the merchant princes must sway her captain for critical support in fending off a pirate attack.
