Overview

The Crossing Town Green Pond is a place of gathering in the center of the bustling port city of The Crossing (map link). In the winter time the pond freezes over and frequently hot chocolate and ice skates become available. While frozen it is possible to ice skate on the pond.

The Pond is safe from pickpockets - it is a designated no-steal zone. However, violence is still possible.


Harvey the Gelapod

A domesticated gelapod lives in The Crossing pond during most of the year other than Winter. Though given many names by many different people, the most commonly used name is "Harvey." Harvey has the unique talent of eating any item that is fed to it.

Locksmith Union Headquarters and Box Raffle

Since November 2001 the pond has served as the headquarters for The Locksmith Union. Locksmiths are frequently found "hanging out" at the pond and many adventurers know to check by the pond when boxes are in need of opening.

The Pond served as the principle location for the Locksmith Union Box Raffle in 2001, 2003, 2004, and 2006, but beginning in 2007 the Box Raffle has been moved to a wedding event area accessible by wedding portals.

The Locksmith Union considered the pond an ideal headquarters because of several factors:

  • It is out of the way - less chance for accidental maimings from people passing through
  • No guards patrol the pond (many locksmiths find themselves involved in criminal enterprises)
  • Harvey the Gelapod will eat all the trash leftover from boxes
  • There is quick access to nearby Thief Passages for disarming room effect traps
  • There is quick access to nearby non-violence rooms for disarming Reaper traps.
  • The pond is a highly urban local in regards to effecting the Thief bonus.


Normal Room Description

[The Crossing, Town Green Pond]
You stand on the bank of a tiny pond in the middle of the square. Cool water laps against the soft, velvety silt that covers the shore, and in the distance you can hear the bustle of the town. Sitting in the middle of the pond is a massive gelapod, looking content and not the least bit aggressive. You also see a domesticated gelapod.


Winter Room Description

[The Crossing, Town Green Pond]
You stand on the bank of a tiny pond in the middle of the square. A thick layer of ice seals the water, and in the distance you can hear the bustle of the town. The smooth ice looks very inviting, and quite safe!
You also see a large wooden barrel, a pale pine ice skate rack with several things on it and a small fire with a pot of hot chocolate on it.
Obvious paths: out.
