(YBA) Diaochan in Wicht's lair alone

[Wicht]

Climbing quickly out, Diaochan sees that she in fact emerges about three feet above the ground out of a cylindrical pipe.

She appears to be in the middle of some sort of street. Buildings crowd either side of the street with no spaces between them and a short way down the street in front of her she sees that the street ends a great two story building. A sign above the building proclaims it as "The house of Haustoor." Figures in hooded robes stand before the large building, apparently guards.

The other buildings on the side of the street appear to be taverns, shops, inns, and assorted stores.

A few passerbys stare at her as she climbs out but other than wrinkling their noses no one does anything. The people are of all sorts. There are a few orcs, and goblins. A couple of ogres. Several tough looking men, each sporting assorted weapons. It is definately a rough crowd.

As she gets her bearing, Diaochan realizes that she is in a great cavernous room. The cieling high overhead is supported by four great stone pillars, each at the point of a square. In the middle of the pillars and the cavernous room, high overhead is a bright light of some sort that illuminates the whole area.

The street Diaochan is standing on seems to be at the far northern end of the cavern.

Diaochan looks around for the nearest inn...

 

[Wicht]

There is a rather seedy establishment only about three doors down from Diaochan's current position.

Diaochan puffs herself up and calmly enters the inn. She is calm but wary for danger. When she sees the barman she'll approach him and ask about prices for rooms.....

 

[Wicht]

The inside of the place is as dark as dirty as the outside would indicate. Event he innkeeper though, a fat slovenly man who smells of fried grease, wrinkles his nose when Diaochan approaches. Nevertheless he agrees to give Diaochan a room and directs her up the stairs to the second door on the right.

I don't worry about money for non-weapon items - I figure you can just purchase what you need story-wise.

Diaochan enters the room and cleans off. Her first priority is to get information about this city and it's relationship to the werewolves, orcs, and undead. She has been wandering around Wicht's Lair for a while now but still hasn't figured out much...

 

[Wicht]

After cleaning up, Diaochan mingles in the bar below.

It is difficult to learn a lot. Most of the patrons don't know much about the lair itself. Most of them seem mainly concerned with an arena in this city, which they call the city of the Bard. Some of them are fighters, some are bookies. One of them shows Diaochan a flyer advertising big money prizes for fighting in the arena, but a lot of the fighters are starting to realize that they are more likely to die in the arena than win money.

 

[tleilaxu]

Leaving the inn, Diaochan walks along the boulevard of the town looking for weapon shops...

 

[Wicht]

There are several weapon shops just on north cross street. Entering one, Diaochan sees they sell just about everything.

You can buy any style based weapon in the weapon shops but not location based weapons.

 

[tleilaxu]

Diaochan has 21 yen and sells the following: Sword x2, Leather Armor x2, Dagger +1 x2, Dagger

How much yen does she have now?

(by my calculations the extras are worth 13 yen for a total of 34)

Diaochan buys a Staff made from an Ancient Willow (Staff, +5 Willow) for 26 yen, leaving her 8?

She exits the store and makes her way toward the arena...
