Welcome back, we’re going to go to our correspondent Arty who had a chance to day to speak to a few of the locals about the effects the Tournament has had in Marketon.

[Tiermann]

Thanks Vanidel, I’m here with Executioner Larry. Tell us Larry, have you seen any increase in business with the Jousting Tournament in town?




It’s been a wee bit busier than usual Arty.  Of course I’m not the only executioner in town these days, there’s been a real influx of new faces of late. Splits things up a bit, but I’m not losing my head over it of course.

Yes, of course

[Tiermann]

How has the tournament been looking for you Father?

Oh, tis horrible when that sinful Krull Ale comes to town. Why sales of our local brew drops for weeks

We do love to see the jousters pay us a visit of course. They drink everything within sights and all.

Hello Madam, how has the business in pots been for you lately?

[Tiermann]

Oh why it had been terribly slow the whole tournament until yesterday. What with Sir Barry losing and everyone being so upset why there’s been quite the rush today of people getting replacement pots.  I believe there was a bit of breakage last evening. Such a terrible thing but quite good for business really. There aren’t any more locals left in the tournament though so I expect things will be back to normal from here.

Hello Miss, how has the flower business been this tournament?

Oh it’s been wonderful, what with that lovely JustFred being such a lover of flowers and that new de Fleury gentleman why he’s quite captured the ladies notice he has and they all want to send flowers and of course then their gentlemen admirers like have to send flowers to catch the ladies attention back but of course half the time they just throw the flowers at that lovely JustFred who’s quite the appreciator of flowers you know the ladies I mean not the gentlemen not that there aren’t a few of who do as well but of course…

Yes, I see –

The Nobility though oh you must see the sorts of things they get up to with flowers why it quite takes my breath away it does with all those poseys and buckets and little frufifi thingys and the big vahses they send to their favorites not their wifes of course you know the other kind of favorites and of course when it comes to kind there’s that lovely JustFred who’s just the nicest flower loving gentlemen and with always a kind word to say even about some of those ladies you know the type who become favorites if you know what I mean and..

Yes, yes, um

Back to you Vanidel!

[Tiermann]
