| CF | After midnight, and the beach is yours. A perfect summer night: The | ||
| CF | sky is clear, the air cool, the water warm... And you're dying to | ||
| CF | start it off with a smoke. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Verna... Verna should be around. She always is, sitting by her | ||
| CF | campfire, under the boardwalk. She'll have something to smoke--she | ||
| CF | always does, and it's always interesting. | ||

| CF | Boardwalk Entrance | ||
| CF | The boardwalk, this beach town's primary attraction for locals and | ||
| CF | tourists, starts here, ramping up until it rises one story off the | ||
| CF | beach. The gates are closed and locked this late at night, but you can | ||
| CF | head around the entrance to the northeast where a pier leads out to | ||
| CF | the sea. South awaits your beach and dunes begin to the southwest. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | An open, freshwater shower rises out of the sand, available to beach | ||

| CF | extension of the boardwalk. A vaulted hall of barnacle-encrusted | ||
| CF | pillars leads west into the underbelly of the boardwalk and east out | ||

| CF | Under the Boardwalk | ||
| CF | A gloomy sanctuary constructed by the pillars and planks of the | ||
| CF | boardwalk. The alcove is dimly aglow from a campfire flickering among | ||
| CF | a ring of shells in the sand. From here a vaulted hall of | ||
| CF | barnacle-encrusted pillars, the supports of a pier running above, | ||
| CF | heads east into the sea. This sandy patch ends to the north. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The woman sitting huddled before the campfire... Her name is Verna, a | ||
| CF | denizen of the beach for as long as you remember, and others proclaim | ||
| CF | her as old as the sand itself. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | "Wondered when you might come about," she says to you, lifting her | ||
| CF | eyes from the flames. A thin cigar dangles from her mouth, and smoke | ||
| CF | wisps with her words. "Been lonely here. Not another soul about this | ||
| CF | night. And the fire's dying." She pokes the coals with a piece of | ||
| CF | driftwood. | ||

| CF | and always has something to say." As she speaks, the fire pops and | ||
| CF | crackles. "Shame it's not ablaze like before. Maybe you can do | ||
| CF | something about it." She gazes up at you, imploringly. | ||
| CF | | ||
