[Location] Lily Hopper Rafting

[Creeper]

Outside of The Spires, on the forest floor, a popular amusement location resides in and on the water. Hidden by thick foliage, there is only one entrance: a beaten path. The place was founded by a Charoda in 487 AV who stumbled upon the area accidentally. She had been amazed by the clear pond emptying into a fast paced river. Strangely, everything seemed to grow bigger in the pond; including the lily pads. Taking the initiative, the Charoda figured out the secrets to producing more lily pads. Soon enough, she was offering rides to others and opened shop. A customer is able to pay a small fee and receive a lily pad in return. The pads are nearly five feet in diameter and can hold a large Jamoura’s weight. Shiana’s assistant takes the money and directs the individual down the bank to where Shiana awaits at a wooden gate. The lily pads line up in the gate and, one at time, leave as Shiana allow them. There is generally a five chime wait between pads leaving the dock. From there, the lily pad moves lazily down the winding river. The first curve throws the lily pad off balance moving from slow to fast in a matter of seconds. The rapids take over from there and, if a rider is not careful, they could be thrown from the plant. This rough water continues on and off for the next half mile. There, the individual is met by another assistant and another gate. The rider must make their way down a dirt path and decide if they wish to go again or return to the city. The forked path has a sign up: left for city, right for the Lily Hopper. Jarringly, the lily pads follow a man-made distributary back to the Lily Hopper Rafting and the process repeats. Shiana is able to tell who has already been in the water not just by their appearance, but by the fact that the water will stain them orange for five bells. The Lily Hopper Rafting offers the hosting of parties. If a PC goes there on their birthday, they receive a day’s pass to the amusement ride.   Shiana Name: Shiana Race: Charoda DoB: 477 AV (35) PoB: Charbosi Title: The Lily Hopper Skills: Swimming 64, Botany 58, Agriculture 52, Riding: Lily Hopper's Lily Pad 43 People rarely see more than the upper body of Shiana, unless an emergency has occurred with her rides and cannot be fixed without leaving the water. When she does, others are often surprised by the fact that she can walk on land with two feet. Shiana has no modesty and is just another naked body in Southern Taldera. Her skin is the color of the water that surrounds her and some believe it is because she rarely leaves the liquid. As with all Charoda, Shiana has dorsal fins for hair. Toes and fingers are webbed. Shiana is a peaceful person with a bubbly personality. She enjoys showing off and has been known to ride one of her lily pads standing up to display her skills. Extremely friendly, if not a touch perverted, attractive men have made claims that Shiana felt them up when helping them onto the lily pad. This statement is rarely believed.   Products 1 Ride- 5 sm 5 Rides- 1 gm 10 Rides- 5 gm + 1 Passenger (1 ride) - 7 sm + 2 Passenger (1 ride) - 9 sm Day Pass – 10 gm   Employment Lily Hopper Rafting Assistant – 4 gm/day Clerk - 3 gm/day Moderator's Note: Hiring requires Moderation, everything else requires no Moderation. *Full Credit goes to Lixue
