The options for the free time are open to do and add onto
some go shopping.  Some go sightseeing.  One will eventually go into some caves outside of town
there are fights to watch and join in on

also I have added a little public murder even that will take place right before we land
the culprit will likely have left te planet by the time we all learn of it. But our chars wont know about that so those willing can participate in a wild goose chase to find the culprit and hear some stories about who poeple belive did this and why and more stuff for the fun of such an activity
