Brian Skies Posted April 18 Author Clone Share Posted April 18 With all of its passengers aboard, the ship sets sail. For one week, the ship sails along the western coast of the continent until it reaches Port Hadr. There is occasional rain, but conditions remain fair for most of the voyage. Lady Amina has food and drink prepared for herself and the adventurers, so no one has to eat with the crew unless they want to. At night, the crew sometimes play dice or card games. One night, they played drinking games, however they had a limit to how much they could drink. Built along the rocky coast, the small port of Port Hadr welcomes the ship into its docks. It is a steep climb from the docks to the city. Most of the buildings seem to be built with some sort of sandstone. There are many larger buildings, although the smaller ones are separated by narrow streets. Travelling through the streets, the adventurers come across multiple shops looking to sell what appear to be large gray lobsters as cuisine. Lady Amina spends about a day in the port. The next day she hires a few experienced guides for the trek to Mar'Qedir. It is a long journey, but the experienced guides are able to cut the trip down to two weeks. There are sightings of massive sand worms and sand sharks, but with guides are able to guide the party safely around the creatures to make their destination. Every couple of days, the party stops at an oasis to rest and get out of the blistering sun. And before too long, Lady Amina and the adventurers arrive at Mar'Qedir. The large walled city provides refuge from the Living Sands. Buildings of various sizes fill the city, with several distinct districts. Lady Amina leads the group through the gates and into one of the wealthier districts. She welcomes everyone into her mansion, stating they are welcome to rest and eat the food here until the request ends.

miteke_mw Posted April 19 Clone Share Posted April 19 (edited) Melnop, wanderer Melnop enjoys the travel, even the hot sands part, though Plinth (his unshod horse) is not nearly as fond of it. "Anyone have one of those weather spells. I'm worried Plinth might go lame." Regardless, Melnop fashions some kind of booted protection. Talon, on the other hand, being reptilian, seems energized by the heat. The arrival at the city excites the wanderer, and he makes a request of his employer. "Mind if I explore the city for a bit after we eat? Any rules here different from what we are used to?" Melnop finds city rules distasteful, but a necessary evil because they aren't going away.

Brian Skies Posted April 20 Author Clone Share Posted April 20 Lady Amina looks puzzled as she ponders for a few moments. "I don't know about how it differs from Venza, but Mar'Qedir is different from other cities in Rhat'matanis for a few reasons. First, it is an adventurer's city. Mar'Qedir is a wealthy city, and there are may opportunities and activities that attract adventurers and refugees." "Secondly, there is little need for a standing army here. The relatively large population of adventurers helps keep the nearby monster population at bay. But don't get carried away by the lack of guards. Many adventurers enjoy a lot of the frivolities and pleasures of Mar'Qedir, and they tend to make sure things in the city don't get out of hand that would draw the ire of the officials. Some adventurers go as far as policing the others in the stead of an actual guardsman. With little need to oversee or protect the city, bureaucratic officials grant plenty of autonomy to this city and its citizens, and many citizens and adventurers want to keep it that way."

In the port Quentin makes it a point to try the local cuisine and see the sights, though he is back at their lodging early enough to be up with the sun the next morning. During the caravan to Mar'Qedir Quentin quietly treks along with the others, conserving his energy and keeping out of the sun underneath then new silken desert clothing he purchased in Port Hadr.
