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!

Sansa Stark | Game of Thrones | OTA

01. Settling In

Sansa had been trying to familiarize herself with her new situation as quickly as she possibly could. It was necessary for survival and after everything she had been through in the past years, she would do anything she needed to do to survive. Though, part of her felt as though she must be stuck in some sort of dream or nightmare because everything she'd been told thus far just seemed too outrageous.

She lifted her chin as she moved through the city wearing the clothing that she'd first arrived in, her coronation dress. While it was a beautiful dress, the first thing she would need to do was to find some cloth, thread and a needle. She couldn't wear this dress forever. She wasn't certain what she should do in a place like this but at least sewing would occupy her time and her mind for a while.

She paused for a moment as she turned and headed west, her eyebrows furrowing slightly as she walked. She eyed the various vendors that called out to her and even offered a small smile to the few who didn't seem overly pushy. She hadn't seen a market this big since her days in King's Landing. She paused beside on of the carts that was selling some sort of trinkets.

When she sensed someone beside her, she bit her lip harshly to keep from saying anything but the words tumbled out anyway. "What do you do think these are for?"

02. Exploring - Vasari Forest

In King's Landing, she had often sought comfort in the Godswood. The trees, after all, didn't talk back nor would they bother her. It had been one of the very few places she had been able to go when Jeffrey and Cersei would leave her be. Much the same, she found herself at the edge of the forest, taking comfort in the fact that the trees asked nothing of her and for a while things were quiet and there didn't seem to be anything near by that might shock her. She leaned against a nearby tree and closed her eyes just enjoying the moment of solitude.

She heard footsteps behind her and tensed, not wanting to deal with anyone at that moment. Perhaps if she ended up not saying anything, they would pass by and be on their way without even realizing she was there.
