You are standing on a dirt road with hundreds of people milling around you. They all talk and laugh excitedly; children run and play. Looking around, you see many booths at which people buy and sell items. It appears that you are in a marketplace or a fair. Off to one side you see a sparkling fountain. To the other you see several scantily clothed women dancing upon a stage. This seems like a pretty cool place, you think. The only problem is, I have no idea where I am.

The sun is high in the sky, and the place is hot. There is little grass, no trees; most of the green around is weeds. A lizard is sunning itself on a rock next to one of the booths. Maybe I'm in Arizona, you think.

You decide to walk around, hoping that something will appear familiar.

You start with 5 strength points, 5 courage points, and 5 luck points.
