Page 2 of 17 "So Geleshmirk-you recieve funding again for you’re talents" "-ehe- enough
for ale(sniffs)- i smell goblin!" "Yeah we found 3 but they ran to the forest"k
2 "Should’ve chased them"takes off hat wipes sweat and hair returns the garm
being contrived. "no no they’re trouble and the forest is- but they did have
apparently a treasure chest"K 1 "Apparently-...?!" "Well at least they were’nt
chained to the tavern like the last 4 we found!"K 1 "Hhmmm I’ll say spent and
confused you are - about how to deal with the beasts Vaerheszee has,well just
tell me if you need assistance"-Geleshmirk going to the tavern a bit from the
discusion. Night settles across the city-village the simple lights and torches
make alive and negotiable such crudeness as this mid-evil place,though now too
the tavern is met with the estranged foulery of the second half of the day.4
arm’n’arm singing drunk coots have a go while some occasionaly get a lyric in
as well,the wizard at the bar has an entire wine bottle and says one word with
the rile moderatley then laughs about it. The 10 tables and 7 booths have
patrons at the windowless tavern with candle chandelierish llighting.A built
man garbed with leather,metal studs,a warrior looking outfit and 3 swords
strapped to the back walks in.The song stops and he aproaches the bar next to
the wizard. "Best ale!" "Sure can get clean having 3 weapons
eyhe-mate?"Geleshmirk "Awe(waves arm)the trick is to be good with 1 the others
are for-..greater wars-you know when some fighting needs more spirit" "Well
you’ll get the best spirits here" "Do i have to pay a fealty to stay in the
city-awhile-quite a castle?" "You’ve never been to Vaerheszee?" "No i’m from
far away" "No,there’s no rulers here,just nights,and innkeepers bickering
amongst themselves"Drinks last of wine and sets bottle on bar "I’ll tell you
wizard the sword is a fine way to keep the world for what it should be,if a man
such as yourself had technique,one such as that could be a legend"turns to
finish ale and sets on bar The 3 goblins from before are now with a
wilder-beast(oxenish with a leather strap attached leading 7 feet to the chest
opened and glowing green).1 goblin whips it ,in distance are 6 trolls in
tattered rags standing at a fire.The goblins laugh as the beast carries it to
the trolls who jump back. "Magi!!!""No green nasty!!!"they yell as cover arms
across faces "Dark magic,-fine magic"a goblin contorts "Look at the trolls
-they know not what to do"goblin 2 "No!! take box-it with human?!!"1 troll
opens eyes and sketches "Close box!Close box!" "You get box!" "Danger box!"a
goblin announces as they appear "What troll want to put hand in evil fire?!"
"You!! goblin-magmonster"troll responds "get box from here or else!!!"
"No,no(goblin stepping towards one of them)evil box stays!" The trolls start
away from the campfire,and the bit now pleases the goblins who show they were
hamming a bit and presume some laughter for their victory. Two tiger looking
beasts only with horns,seroius claws,and teeth,and green fur,preft with scale
faces and tales too appear from a warp evisement,ethereal and great.Following
is a black haired witch,with a silk black hair cover and a clothing of black
dress of the nature of witches.The place is the castle hall,an abondened
castle,dark at night and mysteroius. Next Page Copyright © 1999, 2000, 2001 Rick Cheezey, sffworld.com. All rights reserved.
