Assay Office Opening Public Scales

(Crossing, Zoluren: 160 Shorka 353)

The Merchant Adventurers Mapping, Assay, and Survey Company has opened up offices. The Crossing Branch Manager, Naissura, had placed advertisements in strategic locations around town touting their new much-needed weighing service on properly calibrated scales. The fliers read:

Welcome Adventurers! Welcome Miners! MAMAS is now open to serve all your weighing needs! Our main office welcomes you check out our scales for the prices of 1 bronze coin! Come on over, we’re located near Crossing Town Hall. Questions cheerfully answered.
