This square building of stone is the home of the town militia. The first floor is a training room and the armory, while the 2nd floor is the sleeping quarters.

Orius is a unique man. He will come up the party and say "wanna see magic?" and then pull a copper out of someone ear. Dressed in garish robes, he could be mistaken for a fool. He will by all appearances appear to be a (not very good) stage performer pretending magical abilty to entertain guests. He will also try to sell fake amulets and rings of protection and other false magical goods. If confronted he will admit that he is a fake magic user.
The reality is much more darker. he is a devoted follower of Orcus, and he has come to town to spy on the town, as the party gets stronger, and closer to the Orcus levels, he will try to ask for information on where the party is going, so that he can feed that to his bosses so they can arrange a ambush.
There will be 2d6 additional patrons, plus 1d4 caravans. For the Caravans, please use the random encounter table to generate numbers.

1. outsiders camp.
Outside of the town walls lies a old ruined building. It is forgotten what it was, some say it was a large farmhouse, others say it was a inn. It is without a roof, but the 5 to 10 foot walls provide some protection from the wind at night. Those who are not allowed into the town for bad behavor or those who are too poor to own a house or rent a room at a inn are forced to live here. While there are some cutthroats here, for most it provides some protection in numbers.

A young, good looking woman with a short sword attached to her side. She can be found 20% of the time helping those in need, and 30% of the time at the Two Drake Inn (11) She is actually a spy for the Rat King, and uses her time here to make folks think she is just a kindhearted woman.
Elanor is looks like 18 woman with brown hair appears to be very attractive except for a odd nose and over sized ears (which she covers with her hair)She is skittish around horses, as they sense the fact she is a Wererat, and may expose her for what she is.

Statting out Sweetwater
I have begun to stat out Sweetwater, which is the town that the PCs will have as a home base. It is a bit of a oasis town, even if this area of the great desert still uses oxen and horses.
The town of sweetwater is a welcome, secure town in the great desert. Visitors will first notice a walled town with a 60 foot lizardman statue in the middle of town. The walls are made of 20 foot mortared stone, blown smooth by the occasional dust storm. The land surrounding the town is dry, but still enough grasses can be found for horses, oxen, and donkeys. Three large wells are the centerpiece of this town, and it exists to serve travelers and merchant caravans as they ply the Gold trail north, or head to the harbor of Gulltown to the south.
The people of Sweetwater are good people, but the hardscrabble life means that they do not accept outsiders openly until they show their true motives. and they are much more confortable with a merchant caravan then the new waves of fortune seekers who are arriving to explore and plunder the Ruins of Tlaxtza.
