Bardic Barge

[Bardic Barge, Barge Deck]
Guttering torches cast a somber pall over this dilapidated barge. Canvas tents, wooden shacks, and shadowy piles of junk cover the deck. The torchlight does a poor job of enhancing the faded blue paint that has been slapped on every available surface. You also see a decrepit shack, a run-down shack, a blue canvas tent, a weathered hatch and a warped gangplank.

[Bardic Barge, A Decrepit Shack]
A stout pole stands in the center of the salesroom, ropes and cords entwined with colorful ribbons running from the top to the back corners to provide a place to hang merchandise. Crude shelves, such as a weathered plank stretched across broken boxes, line both side walls. Barrels rest on either side of the door, one propping it open while the other displays more wares. Banners representing a wide variety of places clutter the walls, vying for what little space remains.
Obvious exits: none.

[Bardic Barge, A Run-Down Shack]
This sales room looks as if workers unloaded most of the merchandise straight from the cargo hold, without bothering to create displays. Bright silk scarves cover the somewhat featureless walls, adding to the confusion caused by the variety of items crowded into the small area. A single clerk stands behind a narrow counter on the far wall, while a pair of barrels and a rickety cabinet fill the sides of the room. A battered chest props open the door, allowing access to the rest of the barge. You also see a small tattered sign.

[Bardic Barge, Waiting Room]
Two long benches have been pushed up against the faded blue canvas walls. A small three-legged table and a sea chest vie for space next to a partition dividing the interior of the tent. You also see a tent flap.

[Bardic Barge, Cargo Hold]
Piles of junk line the hold, leaving just enough room to walk through. Crates and boxes are stacked haphazardly, looking as if any decent-sized wave that rocked the barge would bring the whole pile down. As messy as the hold already is, though, it would be difficult to notice much of a change. Tangled nets, presumably intended to secure the cargo, lie in a useless heap in a corner. A rickety ladder provides precarious access to the deck through a weathered hatch. You also see a large barrel.
