Kretch

"Hands where we can see them!" Town motto

Overview
Located west of Kiani Peninsula, furthest of it's point, Kretch is a walled and well guarded settlement said to be more safe than many of the cities under the control of GTU. Due it's close proximity to wilderness as well as safety provided by it's walls and guards has made Kretch popular with adventurers. At one point or other, Baron opened two businesses in town, a Hotel and a Bath house, and staffed them with his skeleton minions. Supposedly, the town was built by a retired adventurer who built the walls seven years ago and invited others to move in, who in return have provided the town with many niche services. The identity of the founder and current mayor is a mystery, since citizens of the town have been instructed not to reveal it.

Gate
Town of Kretch is accessed through it's large double door gate, which is guarded by very motivated and enthusiastic guards. Standard procedure appears to be to questions all arrivals of their business within town and warning them to behave or face swift punishment.

Sufficient Western Hotel
A Hotel ran by the Baron's skeleton minions. A room costs 50g per night.

The Sufficient Western Hotel has following rules:

'Yo! You! YEEES! YOU!"'''

DO NOT

1. Steal the gold box

2. Break into the rooms

3. Refuse to sign in

4. Engage or bother the skeleton''

Fett's Fet Bet-Bets
A Bet-Bet station run by an elf by the name of Fett who is very fond of her Bet-Bets, referring them as her babies. Fett herself no longer notices their very overpowering smell, but she does visit the local bath house when she wants to mingle with rest of the townsfolk. Bet-bets are giant bat like creatures that have hideous stench, but travel very fast, but not very far due to being fat.

Fett rent's Bet-Bets for 40g a day and requires a deposit that she keeps if the customer takes too long to get back.

Shvitzhouse Or Schvitzhouse
A bath house ran by Baron's skeleton minions. A bath costs 30g for a single person or 70g for a group. Men and Women have their own baths, which is a rule set by the town to Baron's apparent confusion. The skeleton attendant at the front desk will also clean clothes for you while you bathe as long as you do so for at least 10 minutes.

Mechanical benefit of taking a bath and having clean clothes is that you receive a temporary charm and XP boost.

The Bounty Bar
A bar for bounty hunters ran by an Mogwomp who also overseers bounties. Bar serves drinks, food and skvader pellets.

Current valid bounties are as follows:


 * Splitrock - Mad woman and a lich. Wanted destroyed or sufficiently incapacitated that she can be be put in a lich-hold. The reward on that is 80'000 gold.
 * Nameless Elder Dwarf - Got a pickaxe lodged in its head. It's been terrorizing the communities that live in nearby forests. Reward is only 5000 gold.
 * Mandus Geef - Corporate criminal. Underpaid and overworked his workers then fled to the Maja with drained company accounts. Reward is 40'000 gold with 5000g extra from the Bounty Bar.

Water Feature
A water feature located in the center of Kretch, surrounded by park benches. Many skvader, native species of bird that resembles a combination of a pigeon and a rabbit, flock around it. Since the bounty bar has a supply of skvader pellets, it can be surmised that locals spend time feeding the creatures.

House of Waffles
House of Waffles is an waffle restaurant where waffles and beer is served. While lime wdges are available due their use in drinks, they do not serve pretzel nuggets. They are a waffle house as the man manning the counter reminds those who ask.

Odette Boddicker visited the establishment last time Joey and the gang were here.

For Sale
A modern, two tone brick building with two stories, two rooms each floor and an open basement, which itself includes a vault. The property is for sale and the asking price has been set to 25000 pieces of gold by the owner, Doctor Ash, who also runs the only doctor's appointment of the town.

Inquiring further from Doctor Ash, the building is his childhood home that he moved to Kretch tile by tile and that it has great sentimental value to him. However town mayor has requested it put up for sale and Doctor has agreed on the condition that he vets each buyer for their intention for the property.

Town Doctor
A doctor's appointment of the town doctor, Doctor Jonathan Ash. Doctor Ash is a blooch with striking features and a wealth of knowledge.

Besides medical services, Doctors Ash also offers lessons on various subjects. He answers questions in an informative and entertaining manner.
