Zork takes the sketches and keeps them for his own curiosity. He suggests splitting the gold and rings in half but waits for Sessativa's approval.
He says, "Maybe we should stay off the road, there may be more hired to get us… I am curious what the bounty is on our heads and who sent them."
Out of Character: Is there a way to bypass the road and still get back home? Through a wooded area maybe?
"It was all Durgan," Sessativa deflects the appreciation towards him.
He says, "Not a problem, Trithereon provides. But unfortunately I have used all he has given me today. I still have this wand though. I've used 10 charges and I'm not sure how much juice it has left."
Durgan asks for help retrieving the wand of Cure Light Wounds, then activates it on the dog.
Sessativa replies to the rest, "I believe that is the mysterious M, who has been a thorn in our side since we cleared out the elven temple. He seems overconfident in the assassins he sends after us, so I don't expect to run into any more. Perhaps we should be more wary within the walls of the city."
"It seems M didn't want us to find out what the wizard knew about him. I don't know why he's being such a pain and I hope he doesn't bother us for much longer. Durgan won't be able to protect himself."
"Speaking of which, I know we are a couple, but as you can see Durgan needs all the support he can get. Surely an extra share our way will go far in keeping him safe. And the next time you wish to go out exploring, he can stay safe at home and we can split it evenly."
You are not on a road. Like I stated you are on pretty much a game trail that winds through the forest. It will take you about six or so more hours to get to the edge of the forest and then cross the cleared area to the town itself. It will be close to dusk when you get back to town. You have no other difficulties on your way to town.
Zork thanks the couple for their diligent work in healing. Back in town he intends to take some valuable rest.
Out of Character: I forgot, is this town near our own places or is this a friendly town some ways off?
Zork comments, "Someone in this town will be surprised to see us alive. We should go to the tavern and spread some rumors about how some men tried to attack us but we made them talk before they died and we know who to come after."
"The more you talk us up, the more of a threat we will appear," Durgan counters in a wise tone. "It may do more harm - he could send his best against us if he feels at risk."
"Or she," Sessativa adds. "We know next to nothing about M. The guards haven't been helpful either."
"Perhaps we should lay low and let the heat off us," Durgan suggests. "But if you don't want to, whatever approach you take, we'll support you."
Out of Character: So were you ok with the 2:1 split this time?
