There is a large, well armed guard to deter any non-members
from entering the guild proper. There is a book here hanging
on an iron chain.
There are two obvious exits: down, southwest.
A furry short-armed male gnome and a robed and hooded human.

Furry short-armed male gnome.
He is short and skinny for a gnome.
He looks nice.
He is in good shape.
He is slightly alert.
He is wielding two knives.
He is wearing an elven ringmail, a forest green cloak, a gnomish belt, an
interestingly quaint ring and a pair of gnomish boots.
The furry short-armed male gnome says: hello humna

The furry short-armed male gnome introduces himself as:
Kjalt from Marais.....
Kassandra croaks: heya, young lad.

You pat the robed and hooded human on the head.
Kassandra croaks: ooooh, that is right...
You scratch your head.

You are in the Padorn Sewer System.
You are standing inside a dark tunnel. It's really dirty here and the
walls are covered by slime. You can here some strange sounds coming
out of a tube in the wall next to you. There is a ladder leading up
and on the southern wall you can see part of a pipe.
There are three obvious exits: north, up, west.

Padorn Main Road
This is the Main Road running east-west through Padorn City. It is a
normal cobbledstone street, nothing unusual about it, but it won't get
muddy in wet weather. To your south is the Golden Galleon Pub, a place
where sailors often go to drink, and maybe even gamble. But as sailors
are rough, the place looks it, with the pub looking a bit worn and
battered. Probably like the high sea itself. To the north are offices
occupied by the harbour officials. They are, unfortunately not open to
the public. The Main Road joins the Harbour Road to the east.
There are three obvious exits: east, south, west.

Padorn Main Road
This is the Main Road, running through the centre of Padorn City. A
normal cobbled street, but nevertheless it doesn't get muddy. The road
runs straight as a die east-west right through the city. To your north
is Thariands Sailors' Shack, a small store where he sells stuff that
sailors may quite well need on their journey on the high seas. A rather
large wooden sign has been positioned right across the middle of the
street. Perhaps it states some useful information?

You are in the middle of the Padorn Marketplace.
A few people are wandering around.
The market is paved with red paving stones, worn down by many
people passing through over the years. In the middle is a large
ornamental fountain, with figures surrounding a central dish, and
water coming out of the figures' mouths. A stone bench surrounds
the fountain - a welcome rest.
To the north lies the entrance to the Dome of Padorn.
There are eight obvious exits: east, north, northeast, northwest, south,
southeast, southwest, west.

Black clouds boil in the sky, lightning arcs down to the ground, and
forceful winds drive the snow into a raging blizzard.
Kjalt says: I do apologise
@bug blaaah, remember, can't do that while sitting.
A light-haired friendly female human arrives.

A big furtive male human arrives.
Kjalt smiles at you.
Kassandra croaks: these were times.
Kjalt says: Are all the shops in this town so expensive?
The big furtive male human leaves west.
Kassandra croaks: there were still heroes. and they fought back that army
of the undead.
Kjalt says: I tried to haggle with the shopkeeper but he
is a real scrooge.....
A big furtive male human arrives.
The big furtive male human leaves east.
Kassandra croaks: oh yes, nowadays they are expensive.
Kjalt says: Undead?
Kjalt cringes in terror.
Kassandra croaks: not like in the old times.
Kjalt says: That sure sounds scary, to scary for me....
A green-eyed philosophical male human arrives.
Kassandra croaks: it was scary. My husband got killed in it.
You sigh longingly.

The western part of the market place.
The main road passes through the centre of this busy market square,
running from east to west. To your east you can see the fountain
which is in the centre of the square, and to the north you see the
cathedral of Padorn. To the northwest, is the Padorn Inn.
There are five obvious exits: east, north, south, southeast, west.

To the west, hangs the sign of the shield at Durham's Armourers.
Durham keeps a supply of most pieces of essential armour, and perhaps
he may have in stock that special piece you wanted for so long? He also
buys armours: so go in, and see what he offers for your old battle suit.

A flash lights the sky.
Cohen canters north.
There is a rolling thunder in the air.
Kjalt says: Maybe it just looks that way?
Kassandra croaks: these horses. instead of giving us a ride they're nearly
running over us.
Kjalt says: No consideration for other people....
Kassandra croaks: it may be that I'm a little bit slower than I used to be.
Kassandra croaks: the youth of today.
You sigh deeply.
Kjalt says: You think so? You look quite vigorous to me.
Kassandra croaks: but old Gulatti is still there?
Kjalt nods solemnly.
Kjalt says: just south of here?
Kassandra croaks: it will be nice to see him again.
Kjalt says: You are old friends?
Kassandra croaks: well, ...
You are blushing profusely.
Kjalt says: Lovers?
Kassandra croaks: let's say we've met a few times one way or another.
Kjalt says: Sorry, that is not my business.....
Kjalt looks at the sky.
Kassandra croaks: he used to kick me out when I couldn't keep my fingers to
myself.
You giggle happily.
Black clouds boil in the sky, lightning arcs down to the ground, and
forceful winds drive the snow into a raging blizzard.
You hear the Cathedral Bells chime for 8 O'clock.
Kjalt says: With the prices he asks, it serves him right.
Good for you!
A strong white-bearded male dwarf arrives.
Kassandra croaks: but that is long forgotten, I hope.
The strong white-bearded male dwarf leaves north.
Kjalt says: Shall we go on?

The West Road of Padorn.
Loud clashing of sword on shield, the splintering when axe meets wood,
and yells and screams come from the west. The Fighting School of
Garrathlon welcomes visitors, come rain or shine, friend or foe, dead
or alive... well maybe not dead, but the message is understood.
To the east a sign hangs on a strange little house. Gulatti, the Tailor
from the far East is open for business.
There are five obvious exits: east, north, south, southwest, west.

Kjalt slips east.
sneak east
You are in Gulattis' re-fitted tailors' store. Since his
distant uncle died, leaving him a large legacy, he was able to
re-furnish his house, and expand to accomodate the growing trade.
This legacy was not enough, and a large bank-loan was taken so that
he could cover the costs of the expansion. But with the robberies
that have been taking place lately, the banks are short of cash -
and Gulatti is a desperate man, trying to repay his bank-loan as
he tries to meet the increased repayments on the loan.
To increase turnover, he has imported a range of cheap, but fancy
goods - you might like to have a look by 'list'ing the articles!
Of course, he still offers his premium service of specialist
shirts - why not ask him about them?
Upstairs is his workshop, where more work is carried out...
There are two obvious exits: up, west.
A friendly poor male human and Kjalt.

This is a crossing of the Main Road and the West Road.
On the street, you notice tracks of a wheeled vehicle. They were
made by a gypsy caravan, with thick black smoke pouring from the flue,
and a klonking sound coming from inside... yes its the Smithy at work,
mending armours for his living. You almost miss the well in the
