[QUOTE="talien, post: 4288606, member: 3285"] [b]Baumann's Prize: Part 2a – Main Smoking Den[/b] As Sebastian walked into the smoke-filled room, a pungent odor assaulted his senses. The windowless room was quite dark inside, with only a few dim candles held in sconces along the walls to illuminate the room. Scattered about were a few couches and chairs. In the room’s center lay three round, cushion-lined depressions. A few patrons sat here and there, smoking or drinking according to their preference. There were six curtained-off cubicles along the back wall. Sebastian spotted a bald, older man behind a counter to his right; the well-dressed man held an exquisite quarterstaff across his lap. A small, barred window sat behind him next to an ironbound door. An extremely tall woman, arms crossed in front of her, stood before the door. The dark-kin made his way over to the man. “I’d like to buy some drugs,” he said stiffly. The old man chuckled and abruptly turned to face Sebastian. His eyes were milky white. “That depends on what kinds of flavor you’re looking for. Snakeweed will cost you three silver, ghoul juice costs one doubloon, and abyss dust costs two doubloons. Sebastian pretended to think it over. “Two vials of ghoul juice please. One for me and one for my friend.” He slipped two gold doubloons onto the counter in front of the man. A young man stumbled out of one of the cubicles and collapsed on a nearby couch. The Well-Dressed Man felt in front of him for the coins. He rubbed each coin between his fingers. Nodding to himself, he turned and slid the coins through the grate behind him. A few moments later, gnarled hands handed him three vials. He spun back to place the vials before him. “You’re blind,” Sebastian said out loud. “I am,” said the Well-Dressed Man. “Is that a problem?” Sebastian shook his head. “Not at all. It’s just that you gave us one too many vials.” He could feel Beldin tense up behind him. “Quite the contrary,” said the Well-Dressed Man. “My sense of hearing is very acute. I gave you the correct number of vials. One for you, one for your dwarf friend…and one for the fellow in the swishing overcoat trying to sneak past me.” “Sarish’s ass!” swore Kham. Just then the alarm went off. [/QUOTE]
