Le Carinval

"I'm game for that." I put my sowrd away keeping my hand on it. Then pull out five gold "hows this?"

 

[Rhiannon Star]

Rhiannon looks to their guide questioningly, waiting to see his opinion on the 5 gold.

 

[PsicrystalAffinity]

"I don't know. We've never given less then the requested amount. Normally we just put the payment in that pot over there and then leave. It's always empty when we come again. This is the first time I've seen these two here." Mr. Jean quivers out in reply.

 

[Rhiannon Star]

"Well, how much does he usually request?"

 

[PsicrystalAffinity]

"Depends. this time he wanted 5000gp. We simplely don't have that much. Without it he theatens to destroy us all!"

 

[confused_child]

"Ok got the destroy us all part. Lets just try with the five and see what happens. At worst it will make him mad and he destroys us all; which he was doing anyway. Maybe at best they take the bucket back to castle and we can at least find out were the guy is and kill him"

 

[Rhiannon Star]

Rhiannon nods in approval. "Be alert, Akashia." She takes the gold and begins to walk towards the swaying figures.

 

[confused_child]

I follow close behind with my hand still on my sword ready for an attack.

 

[PsicrystalAffinity]

The coins land in the bucket with a clink. One of the zombies reaches out with arm. His hands wrap around the handle. The skin looks like leather pulled lightly over bony fingers. Still holding the bucket in front of it with an out stretched arm the two corpses turn and shuffle off into the woods.

[Confused child: Do you mind changing your colour? It is a little hard to read on my work computer screens. Thank you.]

 

[Rhiannon Star]

Rhiannon nods to Akashia and begins to follow them as quietly as possible. She grins, thrilling inwardly at the beginning of an adventure.
