[ Docks - Dock Area ]
-- Somewhere on the docks of the Port. You can be on a ship or
simply walking the docks. --
says to ALL: after leaving from My room at the Inn, I walk down
to the docks to look around, now fascinated with the goings on
there. The fishermen sorting their catch for the day, the boys
picking up and cleaning the area, the merchants and buyers,
dickering and arguing about a fair price...it's not much
different from the Plains in practice, just surroundings....

-- Somewhere on the docks of the Port. You can be on a ship or

says to ALL: I was one of those merchants... Mixed well amongst
the babble and yelling.... doing My Best to sell off the stack
of salted fish I had stored in My warehouse... One ship That had
just called in to Port had so Many passengers walking the Area
on the docks.. it was easy to spot Those who had the coin.. and
would pay a better price then others... I would watch and learn
...I could always learn.... and would snap my finger to One of
my thralls to come to me.....
"Open that Barrel and display a few fish ..." and that he did...
opened the barrel that was full of salt...Picking Out one then
two more and held all three out over his hand for the Gentlemen
to look over

eat it.....I would Look over The faces in the area... then I saw
you a nod to you in respect then I would Move towards you...

says to --| Nyah |-- -Merchant -: Tal Nyah, it is also good to
see You...I have not settled as of yet, still staying in the
Inn, but I find the accommodations to be pleasing. I have
explored the City a bit and I'm happy to say found the verr at
the tavern to be almost as good as the ale...I walk closer to

says to Razi Wandering: Oh yes he was good he Had been taught By
the best -s- well best to My knowledge......
the boy showed off the salted fish and would hold the up by the
tail explaining That that Barrel Held many fish mostly the same
size as The Ones he held....... he would sniff them and explain
That they were very well salted and if travelling far on That
ship...he Then pointed to the ship they came from.... and told
them there would be ample room and he would like to load the
barrel... and discuss where it should be put.... talking to The
crew of course .....
the man who stood and looked Over the fish...Nodded listening as
his companion Looked Over The boy... I guess she was thinking he
would be good as a stable boy or something... his worth was not
much...BUT he would remain as mine... the FW moved away the Man
ordered two barrels and waited to speak with me on coin.... the
boy moved Back to the barrel sealed it and looked to me with a
slight smirk....worth two lashings maybe.... I would Look to the
Man and hold Up two fingers ...
."2 silver "
as the Man took out the coin and placed it in my hand and gave
me a small note with his name on it.... the slave boy would go
with the man to the gang plank and follow The instructions the
Man gave Him....rolling the barrel up the plank....
"I am pleased I have been told Razi That The inn is well
situated and has Pleasing foods....The verr have been sold to
the inn from My heard....do you remember Essa....well she and I
breed the verr for There better quality meat and
furs....something Essa has Mastered well"?

says to ALL: Razi stepped forward and started to speak with one
of His guards... he was a Busy Man and when he was asked to
return to the inn on business.. he turned and offered a smile
....Offering His best and should return when business was
done.... I of course nodded.... letting Him know I was usually
here.... He left speaking with His guard....My attention Moved
to the Note the man gave Me... and then I watched as the boy
pushed The barrel up the gang plank.....reading the Note I
frowned and Looked back to that man.. and slipped The note to my
sleeve....rubbing gloved hands together slowly..... the silver
rolling in my hands....then slipping the coin in the Pouch I
moved back to the other barrel....
"SALTED FISH"... it was from the wreck but none travelling to
the Port would Know this...pure profit for me...... and Maybe a
new cloak....seen as though My old One was missing

barrels and Motioned to the open one..."Look for yourself..I
have No issue with that " and he did pulling out the fish and
checking it over..."they are all the same quality...?" he asked
as he ran the fish under his Nose...,

as the dock master called it.....-I'd laugh about that coz
saying winter just didn't seem right with this heat. When you
asked about my pride and joy I'd beam proudly-.....She's doing
well, charming as ever and learning stuff a bit too fast for me.
I don't want her to grow up Nyah!!....-I'd laugh, I loved
watching her, curious by nature and such an outgoing child. She
was a handful but I was loving the experience-

all, it worked nicely. I had my hair in dreads, and my voice
carried an accent of Port Kar in a subtle fashion. I considered
your question and nod slowly. "I am doing well enough and
