A Land Far Away

Part IV – The Price of Business Something went wrong. I lean against the cool stone of the watch post and try not to make eye contact as a watchman stomps by. For seven gold per watchman and ten to the sergeant, I could be inside. I don't have that kind of money, though, and there wouldn't be much ...

Zaa met her for one brief tryst... How inviting she was!

Very engaging! I was screaming "Nooo!" along with you.

Part III – Strings He administrates from an Inn table like a Lord of the Trades Ward. In full perspective it's almost a joke. Gaudy clothes, dingy Inns, and an endless supply of the needy.

Bodyguards, trap-setters, messengers, guides - sky's the limit. Rich PCs can donate to their chosen temples. Wealth drains and buys stor...
