Ricki sells off some old equipment that she considers less useful (the double crossbow, the arachnomancer helm, the owlbear talons, and the two weakest rings of aggression). She then buys some silver rings with the intention of bringing Macadamia into another dungeon, as well as paying to repair the library and acquire a lifetime supply of kibble.
“Okay, I think that about wraps up everything I wanted…”
“Great. I’ll have those arrangements for the manor sorted out by the time you get back.”
“…Though, I also wanted to reiterate one more time that you should be careful.”
“The place you’re going… it’s not somewhere I would have recommended.”
“It’s very close to the inner workings of the Empire.”
“I know. But Amadeusz says we should be able to get in and out without causing a big commotion if we’re careful.”
“Right.”
“I had something else to say about him, too…”
“I’ve returned, Ricki.”
“And is that Paws I hear with you?”
“Oh, hey, there’s Amadeusz now!”
“Oh. I could have sworn I heard him.”
“He had somewhere else to be, I guess.”
“That’s likely it.”
Paws peaced out at lightspeed
paws decided there was a place that wasn’t here and he’d much prefer to be there
What place? Any place.
All right, here we go with the text for people who, like me, cannot read coloured letters!
NARRATOR: Ricki sells off some old equipment that she considers less useful (the double crossbow, the arachnomancer helm, the owlbear talons, and the two weakest rings of aggression). She then buys some silver rings with the intention of bringing Macadamia into another dungeon, as well as paying to repair the library and acquire a lifetime supply of kibble.
RICKI: “Okay, I think that about wraps up everything I wanted…”
PAWS: “Great. I’ll have those arrangements for the manor sorted out by the time you get back.”
“…Though, I also wanted to reiterate one more time that you should be careful.”
“The place you’re going… it’s not somewhere I would have recommended.”
“It’s very close to the inner workings of the Empire.”
RICKI: “I know. But Amadeusz says we should be able to get in and out without causing a big commotion if we’re careful.”
PAWS: “Right.”
“I had something else to say about him, too…”
AMADEUSZ (he has been eavesdropping with vivid interest up to this point, now he sneaks away and immediately returns, stepping loudly and humming a song): “I’ve returned, Ricki.”
“And is that Paws I hear with you?”
RICKI: “Oh, hey, there’s Amadeusz now!”
AMADEUSZ (looking at the spot where Paws was just standing, and obviously satisfied by Paws’s sudden dissapearance): “Oh. I could have sworn I heard him.”
RICKI: “He had somewhere else to be, I guess.”
AMADEUSZ: “That’s likely it.”
Ah, Paws went to the Batman School of Escape
Paws needs to get a couple of dummies for such a case, hehe
OK, the current party page has been updated! We’ve got to be only a page or so away from dispelling Amadeusz’s air of mystery … or at least part of it … And from seeing his reaction when we give him Phoenix for the dungeon 🙂 Should be a good test of his character
