Hama village loomed ahead of the seemingly young human woman. It was a small village with only around 200 permanent inhabitants. Not many perhaps, but Hama village was known for having an unusually high birth rate of girls. Each family often had more fair girls than boys resulting in many distant marriages to neighboring villages or traveling merchants. Perhaps it's greatest value came from the adjoining river so often used for trade ships going through. They maintained an unusually good port for such a small village with one large inn and tavern, Redīkappu, The Lady and the Cup. The village had only on true road with small cart and horse trails leading to the surrounding farms and homes.<br/><br/>Today was a fair day with large white clouds spreading across the sky and the town was full farmers coming in to sell their wears at the general store, a ship had set in at the port spilling sailors, merchants, and other travelers into the town. Most had found their way toward the colorfully painted two story Lady and Cup. Stragglers wandered the town for different reasons.<br/><br/>As the lustful spirit enters the town many take note, but three take greater care in gazing upon the beautiful maiden. A greed dressed lady who was speaking with a well dressed local, a rough faced man in leather armor with a spear decorated with a blue tuff of fur, and a slim young man garbed as a monk.<br/><br/>Above the general store she can see two signs hanging. The first is a large wood carved hammer and rope displaying the store entrance and the second is a smaller sign declaring "Mayor's Office" at the top of a external flight of stairs leading to a second story above the store.
