Dark Tides, Cold Steel

The guard who said halt stares at Nil with a confused look on his face. One of the other guards in the back says to the other two guards. "What did he just say?"

 

[Bobitron]

Kira rolls her eyes and steps up. "We got jumped by these guys on the road. Took 'em out, but a couple got away."

"Bandits you say? Well you should be taken them to the Magistrate. There be a bounty on bandits in these parts." The guard turns to two of the other soldiers. "Feric and Talwan. Escort these here people to Magistrate Olen's office and see that they don't get in any trouble."

 

[Bobitron]

Kira's eyes light up at the mention of a bounty. With a wide grin, she says, "I suppose we could take some time out of our busy schedule to make sure they get to the Magistrates safely."

She turns to the party and whispers to them excitedly. "You hear that, boys? A bounty!"

 

[Gez]

« Yes. It is a most interesting prospect indeed. A little money is always good to take. »

 

[Bront]

Zandrick nods "Aye, twas nice of these lads to offer themselves to us. Twould be nice to replenish my stock of potions as well." Zandrick follows the guard to the magistrate with the cart.

The guards lead you into the village. The streets are paved with red bricks and the houses and buildings have red tiled roofs. People go about their business though you get a few stares as you walk buy. You pass a large central square with various stands and tents of merchants and other businesses. It is fairly crowded with shoppers and other folk.

Finally you arrive at a vine-covered keep about 5 stories tall in the center of town. Next to it is a 2-story building. A sign out front proclaims it as the Magistrate's Office.

"Wait here as the guard goes inside. A minute later a balding middle aged man dress in fine clothing comes out accompanied by 4 soldiers. He looks you and your wagon over. "What's this then? Caught some bandits did you?"

 

[Gez]

« Indeed we did. The miserable wretchs are there, safely wrapped for optimal conservation conditions, though we'd like to get the ropes back once they're put in prison. Some of them could benefit from medical attentions, we had to rough them a bit in order to acquire their benevolent cooperation. »

 

[Bobitron]

Kira's smile could light up the night. "Yeah! Lock 'em up!" She walks over to the man she presumes is the Magistrate and looks up at him with her best grin, holding her hands clasped behind her back and rocking back and forth on the balls of her feet in excitement. "We heard somthing about a reward?"

 

[Bront]

"We were more than happy to help the fair travelers on the road by clearing this rif-raf up." says Zandrick. "A good upstanding town like this I'm sure does not tolerate such miscreant behavior. And a little compensation for the personal risk private citizens such as ourselves endured to bring in these ruffians would be greatly appreciated."
