Re: HEADING OUT...SEEING A BIT OF IRONMOUND>
The walk west, up the docks until the docks end an a small path leads to a street a few yards away. The group notices several other Inns as they walk up the docks, some to the East of "the Plank" the one they past to the west is called " Dockside Rest" it sits on the other side of the small street Wave St. ,Inn St is to the east of The Plank, where "the Bronze Goblet" sits ... Music and rough singing can be heard, even at this time in the morning. Looking towards the River they see a number of Ironmound Regulars armed with Heavy Crossbows. An Elf with a Longbow, wearing the same uniforem stands near the path, his bow nocked as his eyes scan the bank...on the bank are several halflings with chins about thier ankles hefting huge stones to place onto the bank. other have sledges that that smack down onto the snones to set them firmly in place.
One of the Halfling Look up and shout something at the group, questioning everything from thier birth, to thier manhood, to thier choice in lovers...One of the troopers walks over to him, smacking him hard on the back with the butt of his crossbow, the HAlfling falls, the elf's Bow and the other troopers crossbows come up in unison...the rest of the priosners go back to work while the loudmouthed hlafling tries to shake off the pain. reedrick shakes his head,should just be usin' them for serpant bait!
a small sign on the street that they now walk up says Ware St. the past a shop called " Ships Ahoy" that appears to deal in items for use of fishing and pleaseure vessels..below, on the bank are many colored rowboats and skifts that seem to be for rent....another shop, Call ed " Furs " is on the south side of the street. There a re three North Men unloading pelts from a back of a two wheeled, horsedrawn cart...some might notice, there are pelts form Cat folk there.... As the near the Bigger Avenue, there is a shop called " LAmps and LAnterns" to the north side of the street are many fine looking houses with iron or wood fences and some clumps of trees that streets encircle..finally at the end, that meets the Huge cobbled Aveneue is an Inn on the corner called "merchants Rest"..the Huge avenue is called North west ( or north east depending on what side of the drawbridge you are on) Way..here there are dozens upon dozens of folks walking ,riding, ot gathered about talking...wagons , carts and Buggys go by, horse soldiers..adventure folk on horses and nobles ride up and down the Avenue ..Good..its not crowded yet... the elf says, The dwarf nods as he shoulders through some Adventure folk who where gold armbands with a red star on them...they part ways when they see the Dwarf, and deciede they have other places to be..........
