(YBA) Drax in Wicht's Lair

[Wicht]

Drax sees several bars, shops, and houses. There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason to where anything is placed. Next to the pillar on either side is a house. Across the street is a tavern, next to a shop selling meat, next to a shop selling armor and weapons. Clearly, whatever Drax had the money for, he could find here.

All the buildings are crowded next to each other, no space between them. The street runs to the left and right. Down the street to the right, at some distance, the street seems to end at an impressive looking house.

 

[Dalamar]

Drax heads for the tavern.

 

[Wicht]

There is a figure in a red robe standing outside the door of the tavern. As Drax approaches the Tavern, the other stops him with a hand that is swathed completly in cloth.

"Can you sssing?" asks the figure in a raspy, hissing voice.

 

[Dalamar]

"Wha...? No, not really. Can you?"

 

[Wicht]

The other hisses at Drax, but allows him to pass, accosting instead the next person with the same question.

Inside the bar is a rowdy collection of what appear to be cut-throats. As Drax enters he sees a fight in the back of the room, and another over to the side. Nobody seems to be paying much attention to these.

As in the street, the people seem to be an odd mix of races.

 

[Dalamar]

Drax goes to the barkeep and tries to start chatting.
"So, what's the current news?"

 

[Wicht]

The barkeep gives Drax a funny look, almost as if to say, 'do I know you.'

However he replies, "The big news is that there's some sorta commotion going on at the castle. Someone escaped or something. The guards are everywhere asking funny questions."

That done, he goes elsewhere to fill an order.

 

[Dalamar]

An escapee? Now that might be interesting to find out.
Drax goes out and tries to find his way to the castle.
I'll be off until next tuesday. See you then.

 

[Wicht]

Looking for the castle, Drax wanders out of the bar and to his right. He comes to an intersection. Looking to his left he thinks he can make out the turrets of what might be a castle in the distance, but there is a building far at the end of the street blocking a better view.

 

[Dalamar]

Drax takes a quick look to his right and, unless he sees something that looks more of the castle than the turret to his left, takes the path on his left to see if it is the castle he sees.
