[QUOTE="Aura, post: 6595009, member: 6747658"] [b]Endgame[/b] With Falcon in tow, the group heads back to Tritower to finish their task. Several travelers on the road give you an odd look as they pass in the opposite direction, but none approach or speak to you. However, upon arriving in Tritower, the local town guard is quick to recognize Falcon, even in his battered condition. You learn he is something of a local nuisance, and they are more than happy to take him off your hands. In fact, judging from the number of extra guards arriving as you explain your case, you quickly come to realize they are not asking you to relinquish the prisoner. Rather, it is a respectful version of a demand. However, for those that believe there is a silver lining to what would otherwise be a dark and dreary cloud, the captain of the guard asks you to the garrison where you are each paid out 50 gold crowns -- a 200 gold reward split four ways. He halfway thanks you and halfway hustles you out because he has other things to attend to. Upon meeting the priestess, she has each of you recount parts of the story. She seems to understand the situation with the guard and mentions she will inquire about the situation with him, since he singled out her mission. However, she doesn't seem too upset over not having him directly delivered--she has little desire to keep a prisoner, anyway.
