[QUOTE="Phoenix, post: 3001542, member: 16166"] Only the Whale moved to drink Alexi's offering once he had left the table, and from behind his he could hear, "S'good y'know," as well as some sloshing and gurgling. As Alexi payed the bartender, the man looked down upon the two golden coins in awe, hardly able to understand what to do next. Just before the man dove desperately for the coins, Alexi could almost swear that the pictures on the coins were different, maybe just a trick of the eye. Each of the knights had stood and tossed a silver coin across the bar as they left, nodding to the bartender who was oblivious to the money raining down upon him. All his problems had been solved. One mighty hand dropped upon Alexi's shoulder, a spray of spittle and ale broke through the visor of the Whale. "You're a good man Stag, I like you, even ifya are a paladin." Each of the men collected their steeds from within buildings around the courtyard and swiftly mounted. Within minutes four juggernaughts of iron trotted down the streets of Metropolis, no-one daring to get in their way. Alexi noted that the other men even had chainmail barding for their horses, suitable company for one trained as he no doubt. Dragon and Boar muttered to each other through closed helms, leaving Whale to speak to Alexi as they moved on. He noticed that the rider guided his steed with his legs as he rested upon his saddle and finished the bottle of Burgi that had been opened for the group. "Y'know, you paldins're a strange lot y'know. Talkin' 'bout evil like it matters to ya, then agreein' ta kill people without even askin' the fee or yer cut. Seein' divine vishens, given' people gold, yeh, i saw ya, the others woulda killed that fella for them coins, but not ol'...", he looked at his shield, "...ol' Whale, nah, not me..." [/QUOTE]
