Turn Thirty One"Would it be possible to get one of my crossbows enchanted to shoot better, sir? I would, of course, be willling to pay a good sum for this."
”Eeerm, well, no. Least, not by me at any rate. I’m a shopkeeper, not an enchanter. You’d have to go see one of the three official mages of the town for that, I don’t think anyone else’d be powerful enough, and for that you’d have to have the good word of the town – or themselves, I guess, but anyway, an introduction of some kind, and then it’d probably cost you a fair pile of Yuros you know. Let me tell you this – I once had a +1 Crossbow of Accuracy, as they likes to call it, and I sold it in this very shop for five hundred gold Yuros! Yes sir – real gold, too. You’d be better off just taking me fancy bolts, if you ask me.”… … … … … …
Start crawling back a ways, see if ghost follows.
Action: Shuffle alongside messenger some more.
Follow along. Try not to step in the diplomacy.
Chase after the ghost, aiming to capture it. Mind the traps. Actually... not getting shot in the arse is preferable to catching ghosties.
…In the dark temple tunnel across town, Gervedder Vietzo successfully crawls backwards a bit next to his colleague and, he’s happy to say, good friend Lady Foxglove Vainglorious III, who also successfully crawls backwards a bit,
…so hard she bumps right into Tackov Cedtry’s face, which is slightly awkward.
…Medha points and giggles, folding up and laughing so hard she turns red, nearly chokes, starts hiccupping, and completely forgets what the point of this crawling nonsense was, and daintily steps over the crawling bumping threesome and prances off, still hiccupping and red, down the tunnel.
As she gets to the door the evidently bored ghost vanishes back through it, opens it up, and ushers through two human sized skeletons!
Behind there comes a strange skeletal yapping, and a nastier, deeper growl.
There’s just enough room for the two skeletons to attack two abreast, and they do!
…The three combatants fall over in a tangled heap, one bony arm flying out of the scrum with a crunching snap, one pair of broken guts horribly sprained with a piercing wail, and the wolf skeleton leaps over, dashing forward and into the attack!
…It gnashes its teeth harmlessly at Gervedder!
Behind Medha and her two skeleton friends, the looming form of a large rotting humanoid figure shuffles through the doorway.
Follow along with the party.
…Seemingly oblivious to the outburst of commotion, Bukkar strolls along behind his crawling companions, comparing ales he has loved and lost in a world of his own.
