Sorry for being slow.  Which traffic flow do you follow, the larger one to the wharf or the one to the broken bridge?

(I believe it was the wharf)

The traffic to the southwest flows past a large vaguely crab-shaped building labeled "The Brass Crab" outside its open doorway. The crowd disperses at a large marketplace where you see many varieties of goods being traded.

Any shops to look in?

Jushu would like to look specifically for a flower shop.

"Given the plethora of people here, would it be good to get a room first?" Hort asks "We could split a couple and save some coin"

"Yes, it might be wise to confirm our place of stay first," Kalindi notes in agreement, looking around for a clear path to an inn establishment. 

"Kalindi, that's probably a good idea. Now where did the letter say we are to go." He rummages around for the letter. 

(OOC - did it say where we are to go or are we on our own?)

The letter directed you to the Brass Crab and said accommodations would be provided.

Jushu sees a stall with a middle aged woman selling flowers, although it looks a little empty.

There are shops of all kinds, Tram’s eye is drawn to a booth with a kender selling intricate puppets.

Tram runs to the puppet shop. 

Hort looks for a bookstore or china shop

Jushu will walk up, and see if he can buy a nice bundle of flowers for a silver or less.

Tram: You approach the stall run by a young kender woman.  You glance at the wares which appear to be a collection of intricate animal marionettes constructed of fish bones. "Hello stranger, I'm Froswin, if you have any questions."

Jushu: You are able to find a nice bundle of flowers for 1 silver. The merchant claims to be making you a "great deal" as there are not a lot left due to the funeral today and the festival tomorrow.

Hort: make a luck check. (Straight d20, higher is better.)

Tram looks at all the animal marionettes and asks "How much?"

Tram:  "They run from a small fish marionette with an articulated jaw for a silver to 8 silver for this large sea serpent with many points of articulation."

Hort: You fail to find a dedicated shop for either but you do find a shop that has both a sampling of books and some porcelain items, kind of a catch all curiosity shop.

Hort will look for a fine stein or mug, and something with a little adventure in it... Possibly a collection of Kender tales
