Hello Effendi, I am a Shanty Pass Assistant. I see you're new! Make sure you read the poster before going into the desert.

-What is this place? This is the pass of Shantay. Mr Shantay guards this area with his men. He is responsible for keeping this pass open and repaired. He and his men prevent outlaws from getting out of the desert. And he stops the inexperienced from a dry death in the sands. Which would you say you were? -I am definitely an outlaw, prepare to die! Ha, very funny... Guards arrest him! (The guards arrest you and place you in the jail.) [[[you can

You can be transported to a maximum security prison in Port Sarim. Will you pay the five gold pieces? -Yes, Ok. No coins on you Good, I see that you have come to your senses. You don't have that kind of cash on you I see. But perhaps you have some in your bank?

Ok then..., you'll need access to your bank. (Bank interface opens) Money is not actually taken fromyou -I'm not paying the fine! -No, do your worst! -I am a little inexperienced. Can I recommend that you purchase a full waterskin and a knife! These items will no doubt save your life... A waterskin will keep water from evaporating in the desert. And a keen woodsman with a knife can extract the juice from a cactus. Before you go into the desert, it's advisable to wear a desert
