Fisherman's Quay

[Solhaven, Fisherman's Quay] Room: u4902035, RNUM: 1548
Crates are piled high atop this end of the Quay, and the sloshing sounds of the bay against its thin supporting timbers mingle with the sounds of many travelers across its planks. Many skiffs and other small vessels are moored further to the west toward the end of the small dock. A small shack, its roof draped with numerous fishing nets and other odd implements of the trade, stands at the northern edge of the Quay. You also see a mangy red-haired man.

A small shack is located at the end of the pier. Inside, caught live lobsters can be cooked via the huge cast iron pot set upon a bed of coals. Cooked lobsters are scripted food that can be cracked open an eaten.

The mangy red-haired man rents row boats for 500 silvers and sells lobster cages for the same amount. Renting row boats will allow you to ROW around parts of Solhaven Bay, including all the way north to the base of the Cascade of Tears.

Rental Boats

The pier juts out to the west, and the thick wooden poles liberally coated with barnacles upon their lower ends mark the end of the 'Quay. The soft sounds of the waves against the pier mingle with the cries of gulls above and the yells of fisherman unloading their haul. You also see a bunch of small boats arranged in neat rows alongside the dock.
Obvious exits: east

After paying to rent a boat and arriving at where they are docked, you can simply GO BOAT to automatically sit down and move to the first navigable room in Solhaven Bay. From there, you can ROW {DIRECTION} to travel from room to room. Rooms in Solhaven bay are anti-magic, and familiars will not follow; the only way to return to shore is to ROW back to Fisherman's Quay.

If you have purchased a lobster cage, you can DROP it in a room, provided there aren't too many cages set out already. Dropping a lobster cage will leave behind a long (color) rope-line, which is attuned to the character who left behind the cage. Only that character may draw it back out again. Lobster cages are reusable. Cages should be left out for several hours to a day at a time. When retrieved, they can have up to 25 items inside, including live lobsters and trash.
