The sailors tip their caps at you as you take your leave of them. You still feel a little flushed from the sudden attention given to you by the other sailor. who returns your polite smile.
Exploring the city, you could end up practically anywhere. There were many districts, ranging from rich to poor. Some of the buildings look incredibly ancient and others look incredibly new. As far as Human beings go, the city had a large variety of scenery. You express interest in the bridge, but you also see a lot of bustling taverns.
(D100 = 1-50 visit the bridge, 51-100 visit a random district)

Your curiosity of the bridge overcomes your curiosity to see other parts of the city. You head north away from the Docks and quickly find the crowds dissipating. No traffic really seems to head toward the bridge, oddly. After passing through a gate, you find yourself in the shadow of the bridge itself. The structure is immense, and looks half finished. Whoever was building it, it certainly wasn't likely to be Humans, and what's even stranger is how it stretches out toward the ocean, as if someone was attempting to build a crossing for thousands of miles.
This part of town, Underbridge, seems to be in a constant shadow, at least at this time of day. The buildings and businesses here are all patchy and in dire need of repair. You few people you do see look suspiciously like gangs eyeing you up and down with a look of lust.

Just as you're looking for a way to actually get up to the bridge, you hear growling. You turn slowly and see a large wolf, nearly as big as a horse, with black fur and scarlet red eyes. It's in an alleyway, but it stops dead in its tracks, looking you up and down with a strange gaze, not entirely of fear.
Just as this happens, you see four Humans, dressed in ragged leathers, approaching. They all seem to be young, between 18 and 22, and they stop dead in their tracks as well upon noticing the worg.
One of them says, "Lady, that's a big fucking wolf. I don't know what it's going to do to you, but I suggest you come this way.. toward us."
A few of the others chuckle. It was little mystery what 'help' they might try to offer after getting away from the worg, but it seems you would have to either take your chances with them or the magical wolf, who hasn't yet made a threatening move, but seems very on guard.

The bartender scoffs and says, "Musicians aren't too rare around here, hate to tell ya."
When you ask about what's been happening lately, the bartender says, "No drink? Bah, I should start chargin' at the door on nights like these."
He wipes down the counter around you as continues and stacks glasses on the shelves behind him for ease of use. A dozen more people shuffle in behind you, eager to grab tables and quickly ordering food and drink alike. Three sailors take stools next to you on the bar and you certainly receive more than a few glances at your impressive bust.
"Things have been stirring up... Talk about Elves visiting, some kinda envoy. Bringing news of Orc armies and what not. Not really our problem... but also had a lot of local disturbances lately. Might be because of that envoy. Who knows. Orcs have been spotted in the frontier farms. Then, don't even get me started on the monsters showing up on the coast. That's a snake nest of hearsay and who knows if it's true."

Edric opens the chamber door as you get dressed. From the angle you're dressing, you're not visible to whomever may be standing there, so the King likely assumed you wouldn't mind. The King makes no effort to change and answers in a mere white loincloth wrapped lightly around his unique packages.
You hear the voice and identify it as sounding female.
"M-my King... you're not dressed!"
Edric ignores her, "What is it?"
"E-Elven Envoy.. umm, my grace, they are here to see you."
The nervousness of this female guard, or servant, was noticeable without seeing her.
"Tell them Eliandra will see them shortly. Is there anything else?"
"N-No, my king! I shall not disturb you further. Please, let me know if there is anything you need."
Edric nods and closes the chamber door. He walks past you into the bathing room and says, "I'm sure you heard all that... I suppose it's time then."
