Turn 5: Gentlemen cannot quaff.1. London- Tersr
Sitting down for a moment, you think ahead, trying to formulate an excuse as to why a man should be wielding two heavy iron bars. (5) A perfect one comes into mind.
You are a banker, collecting loans, when one man could not pay his debts. Promising to pay his debts, he gave you the equivalent amount in iron; the two bars. However, since you have not heard from him in a while, you are going to collect the loans, using his iron bars as enforcement. How IRONic.

4. Cardiff- Riccto
As night falls, you prepare to break in. Seeing no-one come out from the shop, you assume the shopkeeper must sleep inside the shop, making your job a lot harder.
When the streets are empty, you slide up to the shop, and look into breaking the lock. (5+2 intelligence bonus) After a close examination, you realise there is no lock. The door swings open at a touch, and you see lines of guns along the walls, and blades strewn across the counter.
LUCK ROLL OF DOOM:
(5-1) You avoid making any noises as you slink around the shop, taking anything that is not nailed down.
You steal up to 3 of the below things:
Dagger
Sword
Pistol
Musket
Grenade (will involve another luck roll of shame)
Hand Mortar (likewise, as you try to rip it from the wall)
