Ok, I need to clarify something for you two. Garrick is a hamlet. Thats small like a village. Not big like a city. Now, there are definetly places in the world where there are crowds of people, and even some metropolitarian areas where you might even see a few of the more savage races(lizardmen, ogres, orcs, trolls, etc) mingling with the more sophisticated races(humans, elves, dwarves, etc), but Garrick is definetly not that place. Nor are there enough people to get lost in the crowd coming or going.
Garrick is populated primarily by humans. There are a few half-elves, a handful of halflings, and 2 dwarves that live there permenantly. Visitors are common, but sparse in numbers, never in multitudes. There is a single inn, and a single tavern. The inn was never even properly named. Its just 'the inn'. There were 2 taverns at one point, so the BlackDog managed to get a proper name, even though the other tavern closed down.
The primary business is logging, and the most common traffic is the shipment caravans carrying lumber out of the town, and other goods in from outside. Almost everyone works at the saw-mill, or supporting the people who do work there.
You might find at most a trio of savage races in town for supplies before they head back into the forest. More common is a single member or sometimes a pair. Its practically unheard of for multiple races to enter the town because of how rarely they show up. They are usually met with curt business-like attitudes, and not welcoming smiles. They are allowed to spend their money on supplies, and then they are expected to leave promptly.
You all are adventurers. You can expect a few eyebrows to be raised when you show up in town, because nothing worthy of adventurer's time ever happens in this place. However, its unlikely that you will be turned away, because adventurers usually stimulate the crap out of small-town economies while they are there.
