The Black Pig~
The noise and furore dies as you enter the tavern. All the patrons turn and
look at you. Then, as suddenly as it all stopped, the frenzied activity starts
up again and you are ignored. Looking around you realise just what a vipers
den you have stumbled into. The floor is covered with foul rotting rushes,
stained with blood, vomit and many other indescribable fluids. All around the
room degenerates from every race and corner of the world vie with each other
in grim competitions of depravity. Several sullen, sullied lasses flounce
about serving ale and trying to stay (mostly) in their clothing.
At the back of the room you can see a staircase leading up to a balcony.
Lounging around the balcony are several bored-looking semidressed women.
Occassionally a drunked sailor will stumble up the stairs, to be led off into
the shadows by one of the women. A hard nosed bartender watches you carefully
and yet somehow manages to never take his eyes off a small door leading north.

A deserted crossroads is probably a better description for this lonely

all around you hem in the square. A strange grilled door is sunk deep in
the city wall and seems to provide access to a dark tunnel. There is a small
water fountain set in the middle of the square splashing water onto the
dingy flagstones. One of the flagstones near the fountain is much different
than the rest. It is an upraised squarish block of polished granite.
Examining the stone carefully, you find a small map inscribed on it. A road
runs east from here, while a shadowy lane extends to the west. Wharf Lane
lies to the south.

The Troll Ghetto~
You are standing at the entry to the troll ghetto. Trolls provide most
of the unskilled labour force in town, especially on the waterfront. The
ghetto consists mainly of houses with open doorways and no windows, and holes
cut into the sides of the massive city wall. The old saying 'you can take the
Troll from the cave, but you can't take the cave from the Troll' seems to hold
true. As they provide a valuable service, by doing jobs no-one else will touch,
they are left to pretty well live as they choose.

Your average troll isn't one for creature comforts. In fact, if he didn't
break a chair by sitting on it, he would probably just eat it. The Troll Hole
is big, but barren. There is a firepit near the center of the cave, the lack
of adequate ventilation, however, means that the wholecave is full of smoke.

Few of the dwarves actually live here permanently, usually they come as young
dwarves sent to the big city to make their way in the world, earning their
fortunes and hopefully sending most of it back home. The dwarves usually
stay in one of many dwarf hostels, run by elderly dwarven ladies of good
character. Skree street is lined by these hostels, accessible by small
doorways on either side of the road.

Cooking smells overwhelm you as you enter the kitchen. Looking about
you realise you have entered the realm of a true master cook. All about there
are bundles of herbs and spices hanging, along with bundles of dried rat
and other dwarven delicasies. The cooking of Mrs Jarosite, proprieter of the
Schist Hotel in Lamman, is famed the length of the land.

As you enter this small shop, the stench of rotting fish pollutes the
air leaving you gasping for breath. The wooden floor is wet and slippery
with water and slime leaking from several display cases and a dirty wicker
basket on the floor. Nearby, you see a massive wood cutting block where the
fishmonger can `dress-up' your fish after its purchase. You see blood and
guts, fish scales, and bones strewn all over the floor beneath this slimy
block of wood.
Through a large open window at the rear of the shop, you hear the sound
of the surf crashing onto the piers and the cries of seagulls in the air
as they home in on the stench which emanates from this quaint shop.

some of these fish have cloudy eyes, pale skins, and emit very disagreeable
odours. In large open barrels, there are tiny sardines and pickled herrings,
although available for purchase look quite disgusting. There are some
equally revolting fish in wicker baskets. It may be a better policy, safer
at least, to buy only the fresh fish.

Coutts' Office~
This cavernous office is twice as large as it should be. Coutts spared
no expense in decorating it. The walls are covered with expensive mahogany
paneling and the floor is of a highly polished parquet. Conversation echoes
off the bare walls and hard floor. In the center of the room is a large
desk, behind which Coutts usually sits. On the wall behind the desk, is a
tremendously gigantic painting. A red brick fireplace is in the middle of
the north wall providing warmth. The entire southern wall is dominated by a
bay window overlooking Lamman's great harbour. The only exit from the room
seems to be the large oak door in the center of the east wall.

commissioning. The subject of the painting seems to be of his royal majesty
and Coutts signing the charter in which the king agrees to use Coutts' bank
as the exclusive royal treasury. Although the painting was painted by a

Lime Street is somewhat of a quaint little road running along the banks of

and lit at night with oil street lamps. This would be an idyllic part of
Lamman, if it were not for the banging and clanging coming from a red brick
building on the west side of the street. Occasionally the noise ceases and
the quiet returns. A soothing zephyr breezes from the north past the shop
and continues along Lime Street to the south.

leagues away from royal city of Lamman and was buried with honor on the field
of battle where he fell. Over time the vault was forgotten by all, but a few
shadier individuals who used the space as a secret storeroom.

As you enter, you are overcome by a powerful stench that reminds you of
dung, rotting seaweed, sulfur, and several other unpleasant odours that you
have smelled in the past. Strewn about on several slate work tables is a most
impressive collection of vials of brightly colored powders, flasks and
decanters filled to the brim with shimmering liquids, rust-covered tongs,
forceps and spoons, piles of worn parchment covered in arcane symbols, and a
few other tools that, as far as you know, have no name.
Along the eastern wall, there is a large rack of glass beakers and flasks
connected together with an bewildering array of glass tubes and metal joints.
Ominous snapping and crackling noises spurt forth from the device at all too
regular intervals. Etched into the glass of one of the biggest flasks, you
swear that you see the symbols for lead and gold!

The Quay~
The Quay is roughest part of Lamman and is where some of the shadier
businesses and commercial transactions take place. One of the more notorious
shops is crammed smack dab between Wharf Lane and the Great Western Road.
From the gaudily painted sign hanging above the door, you find that it is a
tattoo parlour. With all the sailors and mariners on the Quay, it would seem
that this is the perfect location for such an enterprise. The Quay continues
to the east and west.

Louie's Tattoos~
Although a tattoo shop is not surprising to find on the Quay, such a clean
and orderly shop is unusual. White ceramic tiles cover the floor and half
way up the walls. Where the tile ends, glass shelves begin. Hundreds of
jars and vials full of coloured inks and dyes rest upon the shelves, the
pigments for Louie's body art. In the middle of the room is a large cushy
chair with a nice leather foot rest. A smaller chair and a bench are next
to the door with a few sample books showcasing Louie's art.

Moby Dick's Fish-n-Chips~
As soon as you enter the shop, the smell of boiling fat and crispy fried
fish fill your lungs, and make you feel instantly hungry. Two large vats
sit behind the greasy wooden counter, smoking and bubbling away as
the owner takes the orders of his customers. There is the customary board on
the wall with notices about recent events, advertisements for goods for
sale and services for hire, as well as the price list.

vat vats~
The metal cooking vats are about four feet high, and filled to the brim
with some boiling liquid, presumably cooking fat.~

Grease seems to have dripped down the wooden counter, and set in streaks
across the varnished front. Presumably somewhere behind it is the cash
box.~
