The stocks stand empty, awaiting the next troublemaker who falls foul of the law.

On route to the Healers guild, Sir Val walks purposefully by the stocks smiling, nodding in satisfaction that neither book nor any others are held in the stocks this day.

Merchants scatter as a hefty female orc carries two baskets of quivering pig offal on her yoke. Since the stocks are empty she sets down her baskets and sits down on them.

She massages her feet, greets a coupleof familiar faces then picks up her baskets and walks off to make her delivery.

Nietta can be seen wandering around , looking at stalls and chattering to merchants.
