The market place is the heart of Arborea, where merchants from all over the
continent can offer their wares for sale and exchange gossip and news with
customers and competitors alike. To the northern side of the place, a large
two-story building has a sign mounted to the wall above the entrance, while
roads start to the east, south and west. In the center of the market, a
large fountain offers a cool drink to the thirsty travelers, and next to it
a manhole leads down into the sewers.
There are four obvious exits: north, east[r], south[r], west[r].
Luminier is resting here, Shefford and Volog is resting here.

Shefford mentions in Common: I'm bored
You say in Common: I could tickle you again, if you would like.
Shefford mentions in Common: Oooo, no thanks
Hmmmmm.
You say in Common: Pinching?
Shefford tries to look thoughtful.
Shefford mentions in Common: Uh uh
You tell Shefford in Common: Luminier and I could start a round of Halfling toss.
Shefford giggles.
Shefford mentions in Common: Nuh uh, Luminiers nice
You ask Luminier in Common: Want to play a round?
Luminier goes hmmmm.
Luminier says deeply and quietly in Common: I don't think I should.
Shefford sighs relievedly.
You snap your fingers.

You tell Shefford in Common: It is quite an amusing game--have you ever played?
Shefford happily shakes his head in disagreement.
You tell Shefford in Common: You might like it.
You tell Shefford in Common: It involves flying through the air, and I imagine that a Shaolin would be rather good at it.
Shefford mentions in Common: Oooo
Shefford mentions in Common: But I already fly through the air!
You tell Shefford in Common: Not like this.
Shefford goes hmmmm.
Shefford asks in Common: Really?
You nod to Shefford.

Shefford jumps quickly.
Shefford asks in Common: Please?
You stand up.
You tell Shefford in Common: Only if Luminier plays.
Shefford gasps in astonishment!
You say in Common: Otherwise it might be dangerous.
Shefford asks Luminier in Common: Please?
Luminier says deeply and quietly in Common: How do you play?
Shefford jumps happily.
You tell Luminier in Common: All you have to do is catch him.
Luminier studies Shefford carefully.
You say in Common: Easy enough, no?
Luminier nods.
Luminier ascends from rest.
Shefford shouts in Common: Woot!
You say in Common: To the park then.

Traveling to the park----

Here, the garden gently rises to a low hill with an incredibly huge oak on
top of it. The whole area is covered with a carpet of soft, lush grass and
patches of colourful flowers, while the park itself expands into each of
the directions. It seems as if this is the center of the Arborea Garden.
There are eight obvious exits: north, northeast, east, southeast,
south, southwest, west, northwest.
Shefford.
Shefford jumps quickly.
Shefford jumps quickly.
Shefford jumps quickly.

You emote: Andy bends down and grabs hold of Shefford's ankles, picking him into the air, upside down.
Shefford laughs loudly.
You say in Common: So far so good?
Shefford nods wildly.
You nod.
Shefford mentions in Common: Do it do it!
Shefford giggles happily.
You emote: Andy slowly begins spinning around, arms extended, gradually picking up speed until she is whirling around rather quickly.
Shefford shouts in Common: Wooo!...Wooo!...
Luminier looks at you.
Luminier looks at Shefford.
You emote: Andy tilts her body so Shefford's revolution is at an angle, and releases him high into the air!!!!

Shefford giggles loudly.
Luminier catches Shefford!
You nod firmly.
Shefford laughs excitedly.
Shefford mentions in Common: Again again!
Luminier sets Shefford down.
Luminier says deeply and quietly in Common: With me or Andy?
Shefford tries to look at Luminier but goes cross-eyed.

Luminier chuckles.
Luminier says deeply and quietly in Common: I think he's dizzy.
Shefford mentions in Common: Uh uh! Am not!
Shefford falls on his butt after trying to walk forward.
You grin amusedly.
Luminier chuckles softly.
Shefford mentions in Common: Maybe a little! Again! Please?
Shefford smiles hopefully.

You say in Common: Alright, give me a moment.
You remove the platemail.
You drop a platemail.
You say in Common: A bit hard to spin in that.
You remove the leg plates.
You say in Common: And these.
You drop a pair of leg plates.

Shefford stands up carefully.
You ask Shefford in Common: ready?
Shefford jumps quickly.
Shefford nods happily.
Shefford shouts in Common: Woot!

You emote: Andy reaches down and grabs hold of Shefford's ankles, pulling him into the air, upside down.
Shefford giggles wildly.
Shefford mentions in Common: Faster! Faster!
You emote: Andy slowly begins to spin around, extending her arms, gradually picking up speed.
Shefford laughs loudly.
You emote: Andy spins around even faster, now rotating at an angle.
Shefford shouts in Common: Woo...This...is...soooo...much...FUN!
You emote: Andy releases Shefford into the air!

Luminier looks at Shefford while Shefford is high in the air.
Luminier says deeply and quietly in Common: He went high that time.
Shefford shouts in Common: WEeeeeeEEEEEE
You say in Common: Yes, he certainly did.
You emote: Andy glances up.
You say in Common: Taking off the plate helped.
Luminier runs to try and catch Shefford.
Shefford flails wildly.
Shefford giggles wildly.
Luminier prepares himself.
Shefford mentions in Common: Dont Miss!
Luminier catches Shefford easily!
Shefford hugs Luminier.
Shefford smiles thankfully.
Luminier grins slightly.
Shefford mentions in Common: Phew.
You sit down to rest a while.
Luminier carefully places Shefford on the ground.

You say in Common: Phew.
You say in Common: Tough work.
You say in Common: I need a breather.
Shefford falls over to the ground.
Shefford mentions in Common: Me too! That was tough work.
You nod amusedly.
Shefford giggles happily.
You ask Shefford in Common: do you need to use the bush again?
Luminier chuckles softly.
Shefford mentions in Common: Uh uh
Shefford mentions in Common: I'm fine
Shefford nods quickly.
Shefford mentions in Common: Except everythings spinny like

Shefford mentions in Common: Thats fun!
You nod to Shefford.
You tell Shefford in Common: I am sure that you can see why I like it.
Shefford mentions in Common: Oooo
Shefford nods wisely.
Shefford mentions in Common: I can
Shefford closes his eyes.
Shefford mentions in Common: Oooo
Shefford opens his eyes again.
Luminier says deeply and quietly in Common: That should help make the spinning go away.
Luminier looks at Shefford.
Shefford mentions in Common: But theres nothing to watch then
Shefford stands carefully.

Luminier tells you in Common: Shao-lin Halfling toss must be where all the record throws come from.
You emote: Andy nods in agreement.
You tell Luminier in Common: I certainly must be at the top of the list.
Shefford asks in Common: Records?
You say in Common: But only because I have got a wonderful tossee.
You ruffle Shefford's hair.
Shefford gasps in astonishment!

You get a pair of leg plates and a platemail.
You wear the leg plates on your left leg and right leg.
You wear the platemail on your torso, right arm, left arm, abdomen and neck.
