Answer 14
Well, there's the Monster's Market, held outside the city walls next to Executioner's Gate. It's run by Mama Stink, a respected and elderly ogress who brandishes a 6-foot iron mace and wraps a silk bandana around the middle of her face to cover the scarred hole that used to be her nose.

Not as tightly regulated or controlled as the city market, it's open to anyone who can stand the smell and is willing to risk being fleeced of every last copper piece they own. Mama Stink patrols around regularly to make sure everyone keeps the peace and to collect stall fees. It's her regular contributions to the Merchant's Guild that allows the market's existence to be tolerated.

The market's open night and day, to cater for a variety of sunlight-challenged clientele, and for those who require the actual services of the more reputable merchants or craftsmen inside the city walls, they can approach one of the go-between agents' stalls that handle such transactions for just a slight commission ("say, 30% is fair innit bruv?").

Question 15:
Who polices against crime inside the city walls? Who is the head of this group, and how beholden are they to separate interests?
How quickly is a PC-led barroom brawl going to be busted up, and what kind of punishment might they expect if caught?
