d100 Shopping in Sewertown

Don't mind the sun it's just being eclipsed by a god of the outer void and will be normal again soon. So Shadelport has many districts and it is possible to be trapped in them especially if your poor. Usually, this means you can be arrested for being in a non-permitted suburb if you have no money or job. So you could get stuck in Scum Cove where the city's jobless live awaiting new work. Some get stuck on the bridges for years or life. If you don't want to get a job to leave you could try the sewers. The city sewers are vast and ancient and some say overlap with the sewers of Hell. Under each of the western half the city is underground settlements of people and humanoids. Knotswarren the thieves district is very gang controlled. Under the ruins of the city prehuman things stir. From giant vermin to huge reptiles to strange dungeon animals and cultists. Beings like trolls, beastfolk, goblinoids and demihumans thrive there. There are numerous underground markets and even stores in the undercity and these are some.   

I won't rest until the depravity and vice of Shadelport is exposed to the gentle public.
