"I'm sorry," Agloval replies. "I should have said the Brock Marsh District is wedged between the River Canker and the River Tar. They merge together not too far from here to become the River Gross Tar. And Strack Island is where Parliament resides to decide the fate of New Corbuzon and beyond. I heard there's a special meeting with the council member from Hell tonight. But I, like most people, try to stay out of local politics. Bad things happen to people who rock the boat too much. So keep your noses clean and you won't end up in a Punishment Factory to be transformed into one of the Remade. There's not much hope for you if that happens unless you get lucky and you escape captivity and a life of servitude to join a band of fReemades outside the city."
When asked about the currency he says, "Well I don't know what form the currency takes on you're world but the most common currency here are Brass Sheckles." [Equal to gp] We also use a few other types of coins like the Copper Mark, the Silver Stiver, and the Guinea. You really should speak to someone at the currency exchange. You may be from a different world but sicne New Crobuzon is the greatest city in the world, it deals with currency from all over the planet!"
As you talk you all see the people of New Crobuzon. Most are human, but you do spot several humanoids who look similar to your guide. Ever so often you spot strange, small, gargoyle like creatures with grinning, scarlet, idiot faces, swoop down on a crowd of people and let loose an enormous fart then laughing manically while flying away as the crowd scatters. Agloval shakes his head and says, "Those are Wyrmen. They are typically messengers and couriers. Some even think they are familiars but if they are no one has found proof. They are a stupid but genial race, happy to serve, happy to fart, as you've just witnessed, and happy to frown and laugh as the mood takes them."
"So are their any more questions," Agloval says, obviously happy to help.
[OoC: Since you are doing some world hopping, I'm not going to make a big deal of converting the standard currency into the currency in this world. It would suck if you needed to keep track of every different kind of currency of every place you visit. When you do visit the currency exchange I will explain more about how you will pay for things.]
