Thusly, time passed by, and the ever cheery band of adventurers traveled on, and arrived at the Valthi port of Teraka with little incident. In fact, they only passed by one or two other travelers the entire time, and they couldn't see their previous pursuer at all...either she had decided to do something else, or was being more careful about it.
Either way, they had not seen her at all, and had made it to the town. It wasn't too much of a major port, and didn't show much of the technological advancement typical of Valth, at least not once they were away from the docks. Another thing it seemed to be missing was the prejudice that was known to come from Valth...it seemed that as a port city, the population was sued to seeing all different races, and the group found themselves recieving no more than a casual glance from the townsfolk.
The town had the normal conveniences that could be found anywhere - bars, inns, potion shops, weapon and armour shops, far too many overpriced gift shops - but the thing that caught everyone's attention was a brightly coloured banner strung across the town square. "Attention! Grand Tournament, Prisoner Execution, and Military Parade, 16th day of Eme ke Eiki! Be there, for all the fun and excitement! Free admission, foreigners welcome!" Those knowledgable in the Valthi system of dating would recognize that as that night, and for those that didn't, it wouldn't be too hard to find out...
