No response. As the three of you idle around the alley like a pack of mall Goths, it’s Tzah-Tzie who speaks up first! Not that that’s a surprise...
“Don’t worry,” she begins with a laugh in her tone, “He’ll show up!”
She stole his wallet, didn’t she?
“Wh-wha!? Ant, come oooon! You can’t <span class="mu-i">always</span> assume I’m gonna steal <span class="mu-i">everyone’s</span> wallet-”
You’re not even surprised anymore, but it worked out in your favor! And you’ve got all your stuff, so all’s well that ends well, right?
“Yup-yup!” Smirks Volka as her heavy tail thumps against the ground! “And It’s barely even lunchtime! Hells, we might even make it to the Inn by nightfall if we-”
Before she can finish the plan, the three of you jolt upright as a series of long, almost mournful bells ring out across the city! Wow, you remark as they continue long past twelve chimes, you guys have extra hours here?
“No…” Mutters the Skog under her breath as worry creeps across her face, “That’s…”
“It’s an <span class="mu-i">alarm</span>...” TT interrupts with equal trepidation! “Gotta be a big deal if all of Crossroads is hearing it.”
“We should go. Find a place to hunker down and see what the commotion is.” Volka suggests in a grave tone. “Might have to put our Inn trip on hold, Rook…”
Putting your heads together, the three of you opt to:
>Head to the BATTLE’S END TAVERN!>Return to VOLKIR’S APOTHECARY!>Find a MAIN STREET and listen for a cryer!>Check in with Obber at OBBER’S WAREHOUSE! You know which one!>Write-In!
