[QUOTE="fireinthedust, post: 6280267, member: 51930"] [color=pink]Oh come on, guys, it's not so bad! I mean, look at that view. It's... it's fantastic![/color] The ardent named Elandra sighed deeply. It was the sort of thing, she'd learned, that people do when watching stars. [color=pink]I mean, sure we nearly died and all we have to show for it is a scrap of paper... but it's a prophecy! We're going to get rich just by standing here, the paper said so! I think we've lucked out: most adventurers have said they have to slog through danger, and monsters, and traps, and watching all their friends die horribly on the fangs and spells and weapons of peril... and all we have to do it stand here and we're done! I bet they'd feel pretty stupid that they're downstairs drinking and eating next to a fire, while we're up here on a roof waiting for treasure. I mean, if they could see us. If they knew. A bunch of people would feel like chumps if the people downstairs knew what we're doing up here.[/color] Elandra was gorgeous, and tall, and usually better at helping her friends feel like... well, like not wandering off bitterly in all directions.
