SCENARIOS

01. Settling In

It's been a couple of days since you have arrived and once the fatigue from that multiversal travel has been fixed there is a town that you should probably get acquainted with. At least well enough that you don't get lost every time you venture away from the inn where you are likely staying for the time being.

Down the narrow streets to the south where most newcomers first enter Gazin, the tradespeople have set up their shops. Armourers, blacksmiths, bowyers and carpenters can all be found there, as well a few shady types who cannot pass up the advantage of ripping off an unsuspecting person.

Heading east, one can find the two apothecary shops, a bakery, a herbarium, seamstress and shoemaker. There is also a medical clinic set up and is equipped to care for anything up to moderate injuries.

The northern part of town is the district that most people tend to avoid. It's smelly and dark and trouble lurks in every corner. It's hard not to get an uneasiness that feels like someone is watching you. If asked, most civilians will explain why it is called The Devil's Mouth.

In the west district, it is bright and cheerful and generally happy. Music and celebration seem to happen twice daily, every day of the week with Saturday being the loudest. During that day, the marketplace comes to life with vendors selling their fresh food or wares. In the evening, there's typically a firework show and maybe a drunken fistfight or two that ends with more drinking and some laughter. Sometimes, but not often, trouble from the northern district trickles into the west. Those slow festivities but not for long.

02. Exploring

You have heard people talk about the places beyond Gazin and now you find yourself itching to get out and see them. Be it Vasari Forest or Roselake, you and your trusty legs (or horse) plan to be gone for a week or more. One must always be cautious of the dangers while travelling, however. Bandits and rogue soldiers often cannot pass up the chance to take what isn't theirs. There are also creatures and monsters hiding in wait to curiously check you out or worse, hunt you for their next human-shaped meal.

But, that's all part of the adventure! Take someone along with you and maybe some weapons, too. Make sure one is made of silver.

03. Quest

The Druid known as Bhalris has contracted you to head into the Oren Mountains to find and pass a message along to the dwarf known as Brazmas Steelbelly. What Bhalris doesn't exactly explain is where Brazmas can be found, only giving approximate directions to a certain landmark where a series of clues will be revealed that start an interesting, though perhaps frustrating adventure.

Pay attention to the white raven and other animals along the way. They may be there to help with your journey. How do you tell them apart from the other wildlife that may or may not be dangerous? You can't.

Good luck!

04. Celebration

Impromptu parties are quite the norm in Gazin and it doesn't matter what the occasion is or who it is for. There's music, plenty of drink, dancing and good times to be had.

Let loose and have some fun!

05. Wild Card!

Castiel came to a stop next to Sam, just watching much like the younger Winchester. Castiel wasn't sure how his powers worked in this place, so Sam may or may not notice the Sereph right away.

He glanced at Sam, concerned at the state he found the young man in because the last thing that he remembers is driving back to the bunker with Jack.

"Hello, Sam"

Sam turned and a look of relief crossed his face. "Cas," he says in his quiet rumble.. He couldn't help worrying every time Team Free Will gets separated. "Have you been here long? Do you know if Dean and Jack are here?" He keeps his voice low not wanting to draw attention to them. He still isn't sure if this place is safe or not. "Are you okay?"

Castiel smiled at him in return, the tightness in his chest easing slightly. He often felt that way when Sam was around but he tried not to think about that. There were a lot of things that he tried not to think about when it came to Sam, thankfully Dean kept him fully distracted most of the time.

But here... where was Cas supposed to hide? He had met Merlan and that had been an enlightening experience, to say the least.

"It depends on your definition of okay, Sam. Are you okay?"

Sam chuckles feeling something in his own body ease at Cas' question. "I'm me," he replies, unable to put into words what he's actually feeling right now. He keeps waiting for the other Chuck related shoe to drop. He's a Winchester and he can't help it. "I feel a bit lost to be honest."

Cas chuckled and shook his head fondly. He knew that he could always count on Sam to ease the tension in any given situation. It was one of the many reasons that he kept returning to the boys. They were his home.

"Who wouldn't feel that way?" Castiel said softly, laying a hand on Sam's arm. "But you aren't alone, Sam... not by a long shot, Do you understand?"

Sam smiles and turns towards his angelic friend. "I do," he replies, "I do feel better now that you're here Cas...I really was worried about everyone when I got here first."
