Nights in Nehwon

   In moments, the aromas of the nameless City of Thieves, assaulted their nostrils. A mockery of Lankhmar’s Plaza of Dark Delights lay before them, wide caverns, oil-burning lamps adorning the earthen walls, ancient stone statues lying crumbled haphazardly, men and rats scurrying all about.
   
   Most impressive of all was the Souk itself. A hundred stalls manned by a hundred different hawkers-- foodstuffs, weapons, cloaks, astrolabes, idols, fetishes, maps, illicit goods of all kind, from the four corners of the world, and more. There were in fact more people here buying fenced and stolen items, Fym thought amazed, bartering in the dancing shadows of the foul-smelling blubber-lamps, than there were in the Souks above-ground in Lankhmar proper.  Among the “shoppers” Fym could spy the Ratfolk and the Ghouls of Lankhmar, bizarre men and women with transparent skin.

   
   
   It took a few moments for the eyes to adjust to the opulence of “Refuse-Town.”
   
   “We need to find Wissif or Hoarse. One is a fat thief, so I been told, the other a ghoul. Good luck with that one, I wager. We can split up about the Souk. Mayhaps do some shopping as well, if possible, find something out about the Eye of Vood, in our own way, and reconvene in a few hours…”
   
   Fym trailed off. Perhaps one or more of them could have a talk with someone and get some answers.
   
   “How are your powers of persuasion?” he finally managed to address both the Mingol and Raelef of the Torturer’s Guild directly. Then again, Fym thought to himself, any of these people; Geswald, the fish-man, the necromancer from Ool Hrusp, could potentially be excellent "persuaders".

   To this question, Raelef merely smiled a very crooked smile, his hand reaching up to tap the symbol carven into his brow. "It is not my primary duty, but all Her Servants are quite skilled in the arts of... persuading the unwilling. I merely ask time, without interruption." A small, dark chuckle, as his crooked smile widened. "It is... a most enjoyable act of worship, you see."

   Geswald flinched inwardly at Raelefs' comment.  Many indeed knew of his talents and those of his order.
   
   He diverted his attention to the area, looking upon the chaos with the eyes of a befuddled tourist.
   "Okay, that sounds good to me, though a bit like looking for a needle in a pile of ... needles." And with a quick word of magic, Geswald became a needle.  His scholarly robes were replaced by the tattered cloths of a street person, and his features obsured by dirt and ragged bandages.
   
   Affecting a limp, he moved off to blend into the crowd.

   After making his way to an even darker corner, having satisfying himself that it was unoccupied, settled into the shadows and waited.

   LOVED this game. Why did it stop again?  :P

   I think because our NPCs all stopped.  I'd be happy to play if restarted...
