 _setting_desc The warehouses are the largest structures in the port, rising well above the adjoining buildings. Constructed from virgin timber, the beams overhead support lofts that are filled to capacity with boxes, crates, and barrels full of goods from all over the world. Carefully checking each parcel that crosses the doorway, the warehouse manager knows exactly where everything belongs inside.

 _self_persona I own this land that the indolent soldiers are camping on. They have been here all summer. If I had known, I would not have sown any crops this spring. Now we are approaching harvest time and my fields are trampled. I am not sure how my family will survive this fall. I have worked my whole life for this land, and now it is ruining me. 
 _object_desc a Overalls : They are made of denim. They are rough and have smooth, metal buttons. 
 _object_desc a Jacket : This jacket is the warmest jacket money can buy. 
 _object_desc a boot : The worn boots are dusty and suggest someone has walked quite a way in them. 
 _object_desc an a tattered map : although one might notice it's an old map, you can tell what time period it's from. although the writing is smudged, you can make out letters. 
 _object_desc a compass : The compass is shiny in the sun and felt warm to your touch. Your very survival depends on it for navigation in unknown lands. 
 _self_say Sailor, I am in need of work, my crops have been trampled by the army men.  A curse upon the war! 
 _partner_say Hmm. Do you know your way around a boat? 
 _self_say I do not but I am a fast learner.  I must feed my family this winter and the army is taking all of the rations! 
 _partner_say I respect that. I have a wife and three children myself. 
 _self_say As a sailor that must be tough.  I cannot imagine being away from my wife and children for so long! 
 _partner_say Well, you better start imagining it soon if you want to work for me. 
 _self_say I must do what I have to.  Please, take me on as part of your crew, I can do anything you teach me. 
 _partner_say You look strong enough. I should be able to find work for you.

 _self_say Thank you, sailor.  Please, let me say goodbye to my family before I go with you.  They shall miss me dearly. 
 _partner_say Ok, but we leave tomorrow. 
 _self_say I only need until sundown, thank you, thank you.  Shall we get a drink before I go?  We can discuss the terms of my payment mayhaps?  
 _partner_say just a drink and yes, let's talk about the terms 
 _self_say Are you sure you don't want to have a lot of drinks?  You seem like a heavy drinker, no offense intended.
