The crew have opened the cargo hatches and are busy lowering and raising crates. Captain Aust is speaking with an older dwarf with a black beard streaked with gray. You overhear them discussing the cargo manifest as you approach. The captain informs you that the ship will only be in dock for five hours this evening before they are ready to depart. A sailor holding a clipboard is on duty at the gangway. He checks off your names on his list and reminds you to be back in time for the ships departure. From the docking platform you have an excellent view of the dwarven river city. On either side of the river are massive dwarven statues built into guard towers. Between the two statues stretches a massive metal chain. To your amazement, as the sun lowers in the sky the arms of the statue lower slowly bringing the chain down closer to the water. Seeing your stare, one of the workers stops to comment on it. "That there are the Sentinals of the City. They lower the chain at night to keep ships from entering the city. Not that any raiders these days would be foolish enough to try! Ha!" He picks up the burlap sack he was carrying and goes back to work stacking supplies.</blockquote>
