The Albatross

[Bacchus]

So I did an ascii map. Old school mud style. This board's coding is oddly making some characters lower case but it still works. Please correct any errors.

Updated. Updated again. Re-keyed for more organization.

Happy gambling!

Nice work, man.

[Bobmuhthol]

This makes me want to use a social network analysis program to map this out...

Stealing your information for science, be back soon.

What up

[Bacchus]

1. Wehnimer's, Middle Dock

l cart
Made from driftwood, the cart is painted with a skull and crossbones on each side. Two large spoked wheels rest at the back, while in the front, a pair of handles are wrapped in blackened canvas. Resting inside the cart are a stained driftwood crate, a rotting wyrmwood coffer, and a warped ebonwood chest, with a scratched wooden sign displayed in front of them. Bands of iron, riveted with rusted steel, hold the makeshift cart together, and reinforce a small flagpole flourishing a dilapidated flag.

read sign
Hastily written across the wooden sign, it reads:
Ahoy, wares be fer sale in the crate, coffer, n' chest. In the crate, you'll find stuck-open containers with large capacities n' clasps fer lockmastery. In the coffer you'll find some of m'special containers, some weapons, n' some fletching supplies. In the chest you'll find a number of props n' bandanas fit fer a seafarer ur pirate.

Good work on the ascii map. Only bad thing about that is it doesn't show how the rooms connect in. Also, you missed the Belowdecks.

Here's a link to the map I just finished up.

Boutique
Gold and alabaster wind in sinuous loops across a dark chestnut marble floor, and gilted carvings of elegant men and women gambling and gamboling cover the rosewood walls of this boutique. A small marble-topped table sits near the arch leading out, and a mahogany cabinet is against one wall, a heady aroma wafting from its crystal doors.
