In today's "Dreams of Erthe" session, the PCs:
Slew a snake charmer's cobra when it got out of its basket and threatened to bite the townsfolk
Paid 150 gp to a shady guardsman to replace the cobra (he said the owner was pressing charges, and wanted a bribe on top of the cobra replacement cost)...

Were hired to take out the half-orc barbarian leader and his command staff (two ogre mages and a half-orc cleric) and return the ring of the Pomarj...
