Smashed World, part I

[Jarval]

"Personally, I wouldn't let them to the arena. They may be undead, but they were people once. But money talks better than pride."

"Aye, I'm with you there." Lorcan again casts an eye over the imprisoned undead, a look of distaste on his face. "While the skeletons and zombies lack the wit to escape, the ghouls could cause a problem. It isn't my place to tell you your business, but mightn't it be wise to have the two ghouls in separate cages?"

"I find the entire concept disgusting. Vermin should be eradicated, not used for entertainment."

 

[Dalamar]

Alexander shakes his head in frustration.
"It would, it would. But putting them to different cages would mean putting the other to a one that has either zombies or skeletons. And ghouls have a habit of using them to open doors."

He sighs.
"If just we were attacked by another group. I could just end their existence and blame it on the undead trying to free their kin. No such luck for me."

"I could throw a rock at one of the horses if that could be considered 'attackin' the caravan."

 

[Luddite]

Zon over hears part of the conversations.

"In the end they are destroyed, then there is no problem. It is like fighting any other beast in the arena. It distrubs me not, except that I will not faces these myself. But as master says...There is always more death."

Lorcan smiles at Alexander's comment. "Well, you know, wouldn't it be handy if we were to help you stop the undead from escaping. I mean, those ghouls, very tricky things. Can't turn your back on them for a moment."

 

[Dalamar]

"If it was that easy, but I propably wouldn't get paid if there was no real proof of the attack. Meaning that I would propably need to take your body to them so they would believe. Or you would need to come with me as witnesses, but Onnikka is in the opposite direction you were headed to."
Alexander listens to the bald dwarf and still seems quite amused of the fact that he has no hair or beard.
"You have wisdom, but you haven't experienced life much have you? It isn't the fact that they are put to the arena per se, that agravates me so much, but the fact that people enjoy watching it. It is as if people had already forgotten the horrors they caused not long ago."

 

[Howling Coyote]

"It wouldn't make much difference anyway. Someone had this insane business plan and wont give up due to one lost caravan." Looks at the undead with pure anger in his eyes. "What worries me the most is that the common folk will love it, and there's nothing we can really do about it until it's too late and something goes terribly wrong."

 

[Jarval]

Lorcan nods in agreement with Horros and Alexander's comments. "I know. Although, at least they are disposing of them, even if it takes a little longer."

"Ah well, it was just a suggestion, hopefully some real reason to destroy them will crop up. Something safe, of course." Durban accepts the offer of rations and joins the caravan members in a meal.
