Having stopped upon a smalle hille, ye doth see the beast ye had been sente to killeth standing on a balcony of yonder Castle over the next hill. But the nearby Towne is interesting as welleth.
Thou hast been summoned to slay yonder princess?!
(No, I just replaced what I originally had there (bulwark) with something more possible to stand on but still like it, since google said a bulwark was a fence-like defensive thing, not a olde balcony-like thing like I thought.)
> Findeth knave who stoleth your thingse. Taketh thou thingse backe.
Thou hath tried that before, and beenest almoste quarterede by the knave's trappethed laire.
>Sirrah, methinks it most veritable to say that to assay to slay thy fellows by might of arms would make of thou a coxcomb and a braggart, for thou have not such might and, withal, to assay to slay these slubberdegullious sorts by artifice and stealth would mark thee a varlet and a knave of the most pusillanimous sort. I advise and adjure thou, for the nounce, to repair to the forest and to thither find a coney hare, strike it dead, and anon return hither with the carcass and sell it for a price of multitudious sovereigns. Be thee aware, however, lest the sheriff gaze upon thou and proclaim a deadly doom upon thy head, and declare to all that thou art a poacher and a mountebank.
After thinking for a wee momente, ye understandeth the paragraphical commandeth, and go thusly to yonder nearby foreste, striking the firste hare ye see upon its head with thy old woodene planke. Thy woodene plank breaks, but thine bounty has been goteth. Thou then sees another coney hare and thusly strikeths it withe thy firste hare. Ye then go hither back to the Towne and gain 2 golde per coney hare. On thy way to the Taverne (for it tis also the INNE), the sheriff see-eth thou and askeths why thou does not looketh drunk, yet thou is still awaketh at the hour of Midnighte.
