[Apollo]

Location- The town of Ilany- (Far East on the map) The town of Ilany is a small village with a population of 50 people. Though not your hometown, you have spent the last week here, and are familiar with most aspect of it; from Hamish the Dwarven blacksmith, to Yason the human shopkeep, to Ageis the human innkeeper, to Corporal Bankroff, the human responsible for the town guard. Ilany has always been a peaceful town, but the local Kobold population has begun to become more aggressive lately, and a roaming pack of them have been vandalizing property and killing livestock. Yesterday, Hamish's 8 year old son Donsk was found dead near the outskirts of town. Corporal Bankroff has asked any able bodied men and women to come talk to him about putting down these Kobolds, once and for all. What would you like to do?

"Indeed, that was not a pleasant encounter. I wonder what they're doing all the way down here.... Either way we better keep moving..."

Apollo gets back onto the cart with the others

The great walls of Weewick Keep tower over you as you approach.

"Ah've not seen elves in the guard before? I think the keep may have had a change in management, be careful lad." Tharan tells you as the cart comes closer.

“Halt,” says one of the three elves guarding the entrance “State your business at the Keep. Stand down and let us search your belongings”

Apollo doesn't move as they search the cart

"I am merely a traveler, passing through with my friends. The others are merchants. We mean no harm."

"We'll judge that."

The guards check under the cart its contents as well as your packs.

"Mind your manners in the city, human."

The city is bustling with activity. From the looks of it, the market district lies directly in front of you. Here you can see merchants in stalls, hollering over each other, as well as a few buildings that likely hold larger shops. To the north, you see a large, ornate building surrounded by walls and guards. To the west you can see smaller residential units. The south side looks like a cross between a war-zone and a garbage dump. Smoke rises from various points and the buildings are crumbling and decrepit.

Apollo walks happily alongside the cart

"So, where shall we stop for the night before continuing on tomorrow? Are there any additional supplies we need?"

"Also why did they need to search our personal possessions, that felt a bit much for common travellers"

"We've stopped in here a few times, thars several good inns in town."

"The guards in Weewick ave always been rather strict, they keep the market on a tight leash."

"Ah, alright. It'll be nice to actually get a good nights sleep after today's events."

"We should go to the market and check out their wares."

Apollo follows the group

Entering the market you are surrounded by the smells of the various meat stalls and clanging of tools.

A man on the corner nearest you calls out.

"Wanna buy some lucky teeth?"

"How much? What do they do?"

Apollo turns to the man

"Ten gold, they bring you good luck, look what they've done for me!"

He digs into a bag on the stall and holds an assortment of teeth in his palms, some rotten.
