AAAA

The streets were loud that day. Orgol was a particularly dark region of the Ring, and more often than not seemed rather silent. This day was different.

The people coming out of their homes, or looking at it from a balcony would see the fairly respectable Mr.Crabmaster run past Avras street, and into central Orgol. Crabmaster was exactly what his name suggested. A large crustacean lower half, skin made of gray rock and covered in moss. A muscular human torso, and a human arm a swell, also made of cracked rock. The other arm ended in a large pincer, whereas his face had a pair of chelicera, at the edges of the mouth, with long, green hair (or was it just algae?) growing out from behind.

Crabmaster was a renown salesman of various goods that he acquired from his trade with an Avatar crew, the Cauldron Hunters. Specializing in goods that were extracted from the bodies of slain Cauldron creatures, these fellows had a very specific and regular clientele. Rather popular around Orgol of course, they were apparently considered odd around other parts of Dormina and other Avatars.

Firing at people that were running his way, with an antiquated hand-cannon (perhaps it was meant to be used with two hands, but Crabmaster was larger than a human), loaded with...skulls, it seemed, the skull of creature. He had a bag, full of them holding it over his back. The people were wearing dark clothing, and had the lower half of their faces covered. Some carried rifles. Others, pistols and even bladed weapons. More than one knife, coated in some thick ooze. As they struck the wall,the ooze ate through the brick like it was nothing.

Crabmaster fired his cannon once,as the skull exploded on contact with a wall across the street, releasing an explosion of green smoke that seemed to choke the men out for most part. Crabmaster then ran further down the alley, deeper into Orgol. Now there was a separation even within such a dark alley.

Orgol was built right next to a large rock formation very close to the edge of Dormina. The edges were uneven, and sometimes they ate into the city a bit. Not noticeable in the grand scheme of things, barring that one neighborhood that gets built right next to it. Worse, the space right next to it was a large pit, and that is exactly where Old Orgol was built in. As new settlers were forced in, from the constant conflict in the nearby Varesh, buildings were placed on top of the old ones, forming a new layer of the area.

New Orgol. And that is where these events were happening, a nicer area than what was below. Tradesmen like Crabmaster or the Cauldron Hunters found themselves in a lovely position, as the economy of New Orgol was relatively stable. Most of the population either lived there from the start, or had done whatever it could to move  from the Old to New. Visiting the darkness below was considered unpleasant and was to be avoided.

Crabmaster, however was running straight at the entrance of Old Orgol. The last few people who saw him on the surface
