The rings will remain with you, for now. No need to call any more attention to you.
You walk away from the Sheish's wagon. It is really a magnificent piece. Like a house on wheels, it has divisions and windows and even a well appointed cooking area. A small family could live in one of these for their entire lives without much need or want.
The night air is filled with the smoky scent of food and you can feel your stomach growling in protest. It rivals your splitting headache for biggest annoyance of the night. All these things happening to you so fast left you with an emotional fatigue. Not only the beating you took, but also the rapid use of spells and enchantments, and all the social finagling you have been doing. You only really stopped to catch your breath and because your vision was blurry, but it seemed enough for someone to catch up with you. For a moment you think it is the Sheish or one of his goons, so you turn to face them with a face that shows little friendliness.
You are in turn completely surprised when a redhead woman embraces you fully, kissing you on the lips and nose and cheeks. It is enough to drive all thought from your head and the air from your lungs. It has been over a decade since you felt the touch of a woman like this.
Sara grabs your face on her hands and you can see her makeup ruined by crying. "Thank you, boyin- no, Ashlad. You spared me own boyin'. Dinnae have to, but did anyway. D'other lasses are awaitin' for you. Lets us treat your wounds, least for d'night." She looks you with genuine affection and concern. The worry of a mother. It evokes a dark feeling at the pit of your stomach.
"I really shouldn't, ma'am-"
"Nonsense, Ashlad. Please?" She begs with those puffy green eyes, ruined by crying her heart out.
You swallow. It is true you are hurting like all hell and you could use a hot meal and a warm bed.
[02/11 Health, and 30/100 Fatigue. Big ol' Sivor the Brute rolled a 10 for damage, dealing 9 damage to your nogging on his ambush. If health reaches 0, attacks deal critical damage. Like losing a leg, an arm or breaking your ribs. Wounds recover at a pace of 1 per day, or twice that with medical care. There are ways to heal wounds, even the most sever ones, but they are rare.]
>A - Sleep with the Sheish's girls and let them treat you. At least for a night.
>B - Gently decline Sara's offer and make your way back to the beastkin merchant.
>C - You are feeling mighty anti-social tonight. Decline Sara and go sleep by yourself again.
>D - Something else? Write-in
