They've got a couple of half-orcs and even one guy rumored to have some hag blood, so they're always a good show."</strong></div></div><br/>*** AFTER SUNSET ***<br/><br/>When the characters finish up any activities they needed or wanted to before meeting at the Docks Ward City Watch Station, they make their way there. A middle-aged, bald, burly man with a bushy gray beard and a battle-scarred face meets them as they arrive.<strong>"Oy there, I'm Brace Ulmemur, Lt. of the City Watch here in the Docks Ward. Ye're the bunch the Captain sent down here to help with tonight's work? Good to see ya."</strong>He pulls off a leather glove and offers a handshake to each of the adventurers.<br/><br/>The Docks Ward City Watch Station is a small building consisting of little more than a desk and chair, a bench, and a few cramped holding cells. With most of the on-duty City Watch on foot patrolling the city, there's no need for a building as large as the Headquarters in every city ward. Outside is a horse-drawn paddy wagon, though no horse is currently pulling it.<br/><br/><strong>"The fires mostly started about an hour or two after sunset, so we've got about an hour to get into position 'fore we should hunker down and wait for the arson to make his move,"</strong>Brace says. A well-worn club hangs from his belt, along with a more lethal short sword in its scabbard.<strong>"You lot and I will be stationed near The Copper Cup, the largest festhall left in the ward. The top few stories are for tenants and the bottom two are the festhall and inn for short stays. I'll have two squads of Watchmen in the nearby area and a squad of City Guard on standby, waiting for my signal to approach. We'll be hiding in the shop across the street. Got any questions, ask 'em now."</strong>
