at 00:23 | Onyx Fountain Onyx Fountain: Temple District
A large open air plaza surrounds the fountain which is located between the entrance to 'Onyx' proper and the Livewood Theater. The cluster of performance spaces and studios which was House Phiarlan's training areas are accessed through a gate on the north-western side of the plaza.
There are also a smattering of shops that opened late to cater to rich patrons or theater-goers who attended in the evening. A few were food or snack stores, some light, open air drinking establishments. There was also an umbrella store. All of these specified an opening time of after five.
There is little at the moment in the plaza that would provide cover save the fountain itself; the black stone carved into the shape of a 18 foot high black dragon, sans wings. The wings are provided by the water jets and some shaping magic. A stone bench surrounds the dragon.
The Onyx area would be more challenging to hide in; as some of the facades of the buildings there are in fact 'facades'; illusory, and offering no physical perch to hide upon.
OOC: disadvantage to find a hiding spot, but advantage to not be notice when there.
The remaining wall were in poor repair; plenty of hiding places at ground level, but the condition of the walls an roofs preclude safe or easy positioning of ... less skilled ... operatives.
The perimeter of the plaza was largely unguarded, though City Guard patrols did occasionally stroll through, no one really expected they would act on the behalf of any but the wealthy theater patrons. Barrels and boxes and large chunks of stonework were present, but not prevalent around the plaza, all cleared away from the central portion (to keep the dragon pristine). The ground was cobbled, and some of the area had suffered subsidence, so it could be uneven.
