She can say that again, you nod, head burning from the Skog’s knuckles. Is she okay?
“Hah! Never better!” She boasts as she puffs her chest out and sends her armor clanging like a wind chime, “Who were those guys anyways?”
Her guess is as good as yours, you frown, but you get the feeling they were after you…
“Seriously?” Scoffs T as the Innkeeper digs around in the rubble and pulls out a giggling Waitress, “We’re not at <span class="mu-i">that</span> level of infamy yet, Ant. But we’ll get there, don’cha worry!”
So what, you snort as the Durher shoots you a wink, were they here for Volka? HER?
“Wouldn’t be the first time!” T shrugs as if you’d asked her if she’d done laundry before. “Like I said before, it’s a curse being this popular…”
Yea, you’ll bet. Taking one last whiff of the inn, you turn towards the Innkeeper’s glowing orange eyes. Is uh… is he good?
“Yea, need any help?” Asks Volka as she cocks her head to the side! “I can carry beams like nobody’s business, y’know!”
“There is somefin…” The moleg replies as his hand grinds against his unseen chin, “Take it yer ‘eaded to Crossroads, yea?”
“That’s the plan!” Volka smiles as she gives your shoulder a bone-crunching pat, “Gonna take Ant here to meet my father!”
“Congrats.” Remarks the Innkeeper, prompting Volka’s eyes to go saucer-sized!
“N-not like that! Sheesh!” She stammers before laughing it off! “Ant’s new around here and could use some help, is all!”
“Well if you’re in the neighborhood, take this to <span class="mu-b">OBBER’S MILL</span> in the <span class="mu-b">DOCKS DISTRICT</span>,” Explains the barkeep as he hands you a small metal chip covered in grooves and bumps. “Tell Obber I need an’ express shipment. Do that an’ you’ll never pay fer’ a room again.”
“The last room we won nearly got us killed, though.” Huffs Tzah-Tzie with a frown.
“Fine, I’ll pay ya’ too, but you’ll ‘ave ta come back.”
“Ha-HA!” And we eat free, right?” The Durher asks as she leans in with a twinkle in her eye!
“Don’t push it.”
You agree, of course–seems like a relatively simple errand for a big reward. Pocketing the <span class="mu-s">INNKEEP’S METAL</span>, you turn to your companions and sigh. At least the storm’s passed.
“Yep!” Nods Volka as her tail thumps against the floor excitedly, “Ready ta’ hit the road, Rook?”
Good question…
