*As the five adventurers, plus Vrina, Alton, and Lena, sit in the waiting room, waiting for the mayor to finish his earlier appointment, they hear a loud shouting voice with a slight goblin accent that sounds like Jiigral.*
"How dare you! I should burn down the other half of your village and take the rest of your women!"
*There is a pause, probably a response, and then Jiigral growls angrily.*
"Your militia doesn't scare me! I will be back with more of my people, and then we will have this little 'discussion' again! I want the rest, down to the gold piece!"
*There is a heavy slamming of a door, and the group sees Jiigral from the waiting room window walking out of the building carrying two huge fifty-pound clinking sacks, bulging with coin--those in the group who know these things estimate somewhere between 2,000 and 3,000 gold pieces would fit it even one of those sacks, giving a grand total of around 5,000 gold.*
*Lena looks a bit spooked by the hobgoblin's shouting and threats, but she tries to smile as she says:*
"Well...uh...looks like the mayor is done with his last...uh...'guest'...Please, friends, please come in," and she opens the door to the mayor's office and gestures inside, where the group sees a still-handsome middle-aged man sitting behind a desk with his hand over his face and a 'what am I going to do?' expression.
