>>6102266As the inn occupants scurry over to poke at the body, you and the girls exchange a worried glance. You’re no math wizard, you begin, but TT keeps losing patrons… Volka loses recruits… and you’ve lost who knows what…
“What are you getting at, Rook?” Asks Volka as she takes a swig of someone’s drink.
I’m thinking we should get outta here before our combined luck causes something <span class="mu-i">really</span> bad, you reply.
“Bud schingk ofgh drh SCHTORIESH!” Mumbles Tzah-Tzie! “Enny bublishidy ish gud bublishidy…”
She literally just said that her career hinges on PR. Also is she eating your food again?! The Durher gulps.
“Don’t worry, it’s not yours!”
That’s not what you’re worried about, but whatever… point is, this place might not be safe for much longer if we’re all here…
“Not much we can do about it, Rook,” Shrugs your guide, “Crummy luck aside, you <span class="mu-i">don’t</span> travel during a storm here… no ifs, ands, or buts about it!” Taking another sip, the Skog’s eyes light up with an idea! “We can always take an early rest, though! Doze off until the storm ends!”
“Orrrr we just wait down here!” Counters TT with a toothy grin! “Don’t have to pay for a room if you’re not sleeping!”
Didn’t she just mention that money’s not a problem for her?
“Y-yea, well…” She stammers, “N-nothing wrong with being frugal! Besides, stay alert, stay alive, right?”
Not eager to make any more decisions, you instead decide to take a sip of your food… and it’s everything you expected it to be… and then some! Mushrooms, gravy, some kind of potato-like stuff soaked in spices that make your tongue wag… and the MEAT! The waitress was right… you don’t wanna ask what’s in this–it’d ruin the mystery!
“So?” Asks Volka as she laps up the remnants of another tankard, “What’cha thinking, Rook?”
What do?
