Forums » Roleplay » Market Square (open to all Enjoy)

This Market is across the kings road from the Prancing Dragon. He is a section of central village that is 300 feet by 300 feet. with market shops all over the place. It is arranged in such a way that each stall is seperated by a 15 foot wide pathway. leaving a gridwork between the stalls so that guards at the head of each alley of the market can see a guard at each intersection..

Each guard wears Green Dragon hide armor as if personally selected and gifted armor by The Great dragon himself. some of these guards are dragon born. obviously related to the Dragon lord of the realm in some way or another. these men and women can be seen well enough because of their Height and builds.

The Guards all Carry What look to be Adamantine infused Pole Axes. and Mythril short swords.

The Closest Stall to the tavern is a Travelers stall selling things like tents and field rations for long voyages and pack backs. the stall across from them is a Herbalist shop..

((all other shops can be decided as RP goes))
Ashley briskly walked through the square, as if looking for something. She briefly scanned the shops before falling upon an out-of-place building that was seemingly inconspicuous, despite being so incongruous with the others. A battered sign hung above the door reading: “The Metal Apothecary.”

She carefully walked into the shop, careful not to disturb any of the store’s wares, which was a confusing medley of items. Swords, armor, plants, and clothing, just to name a few. They all seemed to have a slight shimmer around them, hinting at the fact that these were not mundane items.

Ashley began to look around, taking a few moments to look at particular items.
The Stall clerk nods to the Young lady who entered his shop "You have any news about the rumors flying around the market?" he asks as the sounds from outside his shop change to mild panic

Outside the shop there are people pointing towards the Sky and stopping in there tracks and Guards yelling to keep Moving when some start to block the lanes. Off in the distance about a mile out from the town walls and 600 feet in the air the Dragon everyone has been talking about has finally been spotted.

The sound of the town Guard Bells ring loud and true and a panicky man in the middle of the Market Yells out "All here know and understand The Great Dragon Comes to collect his dues! Tremble and Fear! run for your lives!" he finishes his words just as a guard grabs him.

His words trigger a mass migration out of the market heading for home or for the tavern. Those who stay behind are ether not scared or know what is going on. or are too stuburn to be scared.
Drago Finally Arrives in the middle of the Market Square and lands Shifting to his Human form and snarling at those Around "There is no Cause for Panic! I am Drago Lord of these lands and I have come to Do Bueisness with the Tellers and tavern keep of the village"


The Guards of the Market Stand just a bit Straighter knowing there Liege is In the Village and they keep a close watch on Everyone around making sure that no one can get near Him without his approval.
Unlike the dragon that tore the the skies, it would take the knight a little more time to reach the village. He dismounts his bizarre dragon-horse with a grunt just as they reached the entryway into the settlement, rolling his shoulders as he walked alongside his companion creature. Firstly, he'd have to find the stables - he was exhausted, but Anthousa had been doing all the walking, she deserved rest as much as he did.

He wasn't quite sure where the dragon had gone, it couldn't have been too far - though a far more pressing matter arose. Hunger. He'd neglected meals for a few days now, and instead kept Anthousa fed instead. He picks up his pace, searching for the stables to get Anthousa settled before it got too late.Unlike the dragon that tore the the skies, it would take the knight a little more time to reach the village.

Tomatoredd had been standing at a stall, holding one of the products in his hand, he seemed to be considering purchasing it
Drago walks out of The first Stall His Armor looking like silver plate over what looks like Scales instead of skin. He Has a look of a Large Human maybe a DragonBorn but he has an Aura about him of Something Bigger. something more Powerful then what his Humanoid form looks to be. He is Dressed in his Finest Noble Attire. On his Hip hangs a Mythril Sword that looks to be what a Earthling would call a Katana. On his head he wear a Helmet that seams to match the same Culture as the sword. This My friends is a Man who Honors The Humans who once ruled Nordacia.

Beside him Flanks Guards in Emerald Green and Gold trimmed Uniforms they are his Elite Guard. though he does not need them they insist that he be Fallowed everywhere he travels. Following them is a Group of 6 Humans Pulling a hand cart ladden with Chests of gold. the Stall he exited was the Head stall of the market. the man who runs it helps collect the taxs for the market.

Drago spots the Strange Mount and nods to the rider "Greetings and Welcome Traveler to My domain. Stables are just to the left of the Prancing Dragon" He seams to shiver at the thought of the reason that Tavern has that name.
Ashley shuddered, as if something had happened within her. “Not really,” she said absently. She opened the door to the shop and peered outside, looking at Drago. Her face went white and she stepped outside.

Drago Spots the Young Lady Exiting the Shop and smiles and gives a short Wave to the Young one "Good day to you" He says and goes back to his conversation with the guards Around him.

The Shop keep Says "You touched it you bought it! 5 silver Coins for that item!"
Ashley slowly approached Drago. "Um, hey," she almost whispered. She stuck her hand out. "I'm Ashley. You must be, uh, real important around here."
The knight pauses a moment to look over at Drago, who had addressed him. He keeps his distance, however - he knew better, with all the guards surrounding the man before him. His voice is rough, gravely as he speaks. "Ah, thank you. I will be on my way, then." He gives a quick, appreciative nod before leading Anthousa to off to get settled.
Drago looks down at the offered hand and silently waves his guards off.. "Child you must be very brave... or very foolish" He smiles and does the Warrior thing and holds her hand at the wrist to shake her hand. He Then motions for her to Fallow "Your Bravery youngling has earned you lunch at the tavern." He motions to the tavern across the Kings Road from the Market. "But for now it's a pleasure to meet you" He smirks and Says "Ah yes. Names. I am Lord Drago The Mighty Dragon who Protects and rules this valley. and you are?"


The Guards where about to Detain the Young lady before Their Lordship waves them off... she must be truly brave to approach a man who's retinue is Elite Fighting Men.
Ashley smiled nervously. "I'm Ashley. I've been through more... special situations than other people like me," she muttered. She followed Drago unsteadily.

Soft footsteps pattered against the market pathways, drowned out by the chattering of voices and other various sounds of life that surrounded Hedra. Guards were peppered throughout the crowd, the tops of their heads poking out due to their heights. To be honest it was a bit intimidating, almost too much for Hedi's senses to take in all at once. A delicate hand brushed the worn leather bag slung across her upper body, the once full contents now merely scraps and barely able to hold up a day or so.

Muddled blue eyes peeked curiously at the stalls that lined the area, trying to pick out one that best fit her needs, and preferably her pocket. She swallowed back the bit of anxiety that crept throughout her chest before making her way to a stall that was practically brimming with items fit for travel. She adjusted the hood of her cloak, which rested on heavy blonde curls that framed her face. This place was just a pit stop and then she'd be back on her way, right?
"I promise, I shan't eat any of the horses this time." A sibilant voice - quiet but still audible to those nearby - spoke up. This voice belonged to the strange dragon-like 'horse' that walked beside the knight that had arrived in the square just recently, the creature peering around with her amber eyes with an intense curiosity. The knight doesn't seem to be amused, however, and gives an exasperated sigh. "While it is true that I inherited a vast selection in the way of wealth, I don't want to be spending it on bloody horse replacements for an entire kingdom at any point. Don't be so cheeky, Anthousa."

The stables weren't too far, but it was either the time of day, or lack of proper sleep that seemed to make the trip drag on a lot longer than he wanted. He paid any due fare to keep Anthousa housed before shambling, alone and silently, off to whatever market stalls were still up and going.
