     Hello and welcome to our continuing story.  You know, from the subject
title?  She has already awaken from another day in the Dragons-Inn.  Her
plans for today:  to explore Section 3 of the city.  In her mind, she has
divided the entire city into sections thanks to a map she bought from a
store.   She leaves her room locked and travels
downstairs to eat a light breakfast.  Then, it is out the door to learn
something new.  

     She is a sweet little thing.  That's how we like to portray all
innocents, you know.  Sugar and spice and all.  However, her appearance
could use some improvement.  Her hair is still messy and tangled, long and
loose from travel.  She wears all brown, animal leather, not a tasteful
dress or scarf.  Around her neck is a bear's teeth necklace.  Her father's,
 but not her real one.

     The time is still morning and the sun rising over the horizon confirms
that our clocks are still working  (if they have clocks).  She moves toward
what is known as The MarketPlace.  It is a small side street where it is a
bunch of street hawkers, travelling merchants, and peddlars all gather to
woo customers and make as much money as possible.  Here you'll also find
street musicians and performers who entertain and beg for money at the
same time.  Lesser talented beggars stay close and hope by just being there
they will also get some free money.  The business here is decent and
sometimes competitive with the more firmly fixed stores in this city.  But
anyway it is very necessary to the traders  adventurers, and travellers to
the city.  Stories and global news will be exchanged.  Strangers far from
their homeland will meet another of the same race and feel less homesick. 
 
      It is here where our heroine will make her first contact.
