The death of [28 Mercenary] Xaldon (Halfling)

in The Slave Markets

from the perspective of [25 Illusionist] Tony (Human)

<worn around neck>   a fine silk shawl
<worn around neck>   a fine silk shawl

<worn on feet>       some shimmering ivory moccasins

   Laid deep within the sand are stones that are able to support and stabilize
the weight of many caravans. These caravans house many merchants and
prospective buyers. Despite the city's devious nature, this is a somewhat
honest market. Those who buy, get what they pay for, whether or not that
merchandise is valuable is another question. Huge tents house many rich
bourgeoisie and many smaller tents house the commoners. A few stone buildings
shelter those who have been within the city long enough to amount a large
fortune and the time to construct their own dwelling. Sounds of merchants
dealing fill the air. The wind often picks up and blows the sand into the air,
creating a small sandstorm of sorts. During the day, when activity is at its
highest, the sun beats down all who are here to shop.

The Shoppe of the Merchant Lord
   Who said fat merchants can't be choosy, well this one can be about his
women. Scores of women await the loving of this fat merchant for one simple
reason, he pays for it. That's right, with success comes pleasure, the type of
pleasure that only money can buy if you're as ugly as sin. A huge, erect, pole
stands in the center of the room supporting the tent itself, with long wires
headed in six different directions for additional support in upholding the tent
also. Much of the furniture in this tent has some sort of dirt, or sand upon
it. There are no cobblestones or any type of flooring within the room. One
wonders how this man became a success, o let me tell you why. His mother was a
hooker, his father was a gambler, and his siblings were players. As a kid this
merchant was actually skinny. He grew up on the streets and became street
smart, and made many connections. Through these connections he's managed to
come up with some suppliers, and some customers. He's become a very successful
middle man in recent years, and with success comes food, a lot of fatty food.

The Slave Markets
   Slaves are pinned down by chains that are nailed into the street. These
nails are huge in size and must weigh a couple hundred pounds each. These
slaves range from minotaurs, humans, elves, flinds, and even drows. Crowded
around these slaves are possible purchasers. The slaves are known to growl and
possibly seriously injure a prospective buyer who gets too close. Tents of are
lined up all along these slave markets for this is one of the busiest centers
of the city. The sultan enjoys the commerce in this sector, it brings a lot of
people to the city to an otherwise largely vacant section at that. IT gets
real lonely during the nights for the slaves, and is very much depressing, as
they're being auctioned off for a life of hard labor.

The Slave Masters Podium
   A huge podium constructed of the strongest lumber in these parts holds
valuable merchandise to the slave traders. This merchandise is neither jewels,
clothing, or even gold. This merchandise is beings of different natures and
backrounds. All types of beings of the land stand up on the podium to be
auctioned off to the highest bidder. Human, minotaurs, elves, and orcs alike.
They are all either war prisoners or captured villagers from villages long
since plundered. The auctioneers shout out the deals to the crowd and in turn
are answered swiftly. All around the podium, sand envelopes the area, for this
is a desert city.
