** There is a bounty hunting system in Carrionfields and my assassin has temporarily
** taken control of the trade, setting up a company and hiring other characters. Others
** who collected bounties were hunted if caught, as they were stealing our business.

** This shows the collection of one of my first bounties. It was a little harder than some
** because the target was a duergar, and thus able to see me in the shadows. Also, she travelled
** with an assassin who stepped in to protect her.

** I had marked the duergar earlier and my spies had tracked her to an elven settlement, where
** the duergar was busy slaughtering them.

** Because they can see me if they look around, I rush them as fast as I can, and the attack begins...

You are on a path leading away from the din of the Marketplace. All
around you are various buildings built by the few non-elven residents
of the city. Many of the elves have become more accustomed to these
urban ways, and have followed suit. One or two of the buildings are
made from stone, and the rest are wood... yet the wood is seamless.
There are none of the boards or logs normally associated with such
construction. You wonder if perhaps they were fashioned with magic,
or even... grown. To your left is a rope ladder which disappears up
into the branches of the Ironwood tree. To your east lies the
Marketplace. North, the path continues. West lies what looks like
a quiet grove.
