"Give me some sugar, baby..."

I was about ready to tell Iain about my unusual customer the other day....

"Hold that thought," Iain says to me.

A fair maiden stands alone in the corner of the tavern .  Iain buys her a Blackberry Cordial.

"Give me some sugar, baby!"

Mr. Hancock has interesting taste in women.
"Sorry, I don't have any sugar Mister..."
 

 

 

Iain comes back to where I was sitting. "As I was saying...."

After finishing our meals we leave the tavern to head back to our rooms for the night.  A con artist was waiting for us outside but did not get anything from us.

Some other character approached us and wanted to barter, but we had nothing to trade for.

The next person we meet on the street is a wealthy merchant with a body guard.













I must have said something he didn't like because he ordered his body guard to attack. The wealthy gentleman disappeared behind a building.

 

 

Before his weapon could make contact with me, I hit him with my sword and he went down.

I searched his body and found some food and 3 pieces of gold.

 

 

 

 

 

"I just saw what happened here." A voice came from around the corner of a building. "How would you like to do some work for me?" said the nobleman.

 

A nobleman and his two body guards appear.
