[Town Square, Small Park] A small, shaded park fills an old vacant lot behind a row of buildings, the bright lamplight from the square filtering through the passage to the north to illuminate the area with a soft glow. A weatherworn grey marble statue of a stocky human in pioneer's clothing overlooks the park, his stone hat encrusted by the gifts of decades of passing birds and his right hand half-upraised as if it once held some now-missing object. You also see a large trash can. Also here: Lylonna, Paulaina who is sitting, Lady Hunny who is sitting, Lady Eldawyn, Aedrik, Alazzri who is sitting, Fenwyr, Arcalimon who is sitting, Vro who is sitting, Lord Trollusk who is sitting, Sethannon who is sitting Obvious paths: north, south, west
