The Trouble With Trolls
New Emerald City was not the largest city in Etindra, but it wasn't the smallest either. It had all the staples of a booming town, complete with a notable crime lord and an underbelly. But this was to be expected of a settlement in the middle stages of rebuilding. Construction was part of the daily grind in New Emerald City, and it allowed for a constant flow of traffic and commerce into the city.
There were several recommended establishments for food and drink, and a number of Inns and Hostels throughout the city. New Emerald City even boasted a progressive Boudoir: Elven Whispers. This exclusive establishment, run by the Eternal Madame Meril and frequented by the local aristocracy, is the first of it's kind in Etindra: a brothel owned and run by the only legal guild of sex workers. The Sisters of the Night are the highest class of escort available and their screenings for both applicants and clients are the most rigorous in the country.
Naturally, after giving everyone some brief directions and recommendations, Chett suggests you ask the governor about invitations to Elven Whispers, if that's your cup of tea. He gives you all the address to his home near the center of town and requests that you dinner elsewhere tonight. He'll have to charm the Missus into letting the lot of you stay, after all.
With the sun bright overhead and dusk a few hours away yet, there is time to explore for anyone who wishes it. Chett does mention that the Governor's Office is only open for a couple more hours. So perhaps, lunch at Steak N' Ale and a stroll down Market street to acquaint yourselves with the town before visiting the Governor?
Other than the bustle of construction, the people coming and going on the streets are much the same as those found anywhere else. What you do notice, however, is the unusually large number of homeless. Some walk with their belongings in sacks or pulled in carts, others are huddled in alleys and against vacant buildings. Some look angry, others fearful, but all have the glint of hopelessness in their eyes.
As the afternoon wears on, it becomes apparent that a visit to the Governor should happen sooner rather than later. If the office closes before you make it there, you'll have to wait until they open again in the morning.
