Session one: the one where the group goes shopping pt 3
As we exited the city hall, I could still hear my heart beating out of my chest. Of all the people, why’d it have to be him! The group decided to go shopping after recieving their reward money, and I needed to do something to calm my nerves, so I decided to follow after them. After all, I had just gotten to town, and I wanted to explore as much as everyone else it seemed.
.......
It had been 4 hours and those idiots were still shopping. We were stuck in the blacksmith’s shop, with the halfling, whose name I discovered to be Gizmo, bartering over the price of an enchanted sword. He brought up the fact that they knew Nyx in hopes of getting a further discount, but the blacksmith merely smiled, and said “Oh, Nyx? He’s a bitch.”
I perked up, finally someone who knew the truth around here.
“So if we have a personal vendetta against Nyx, what kind of a discount do we get?”
I knew I fucked up when the blacksmith narrowed his eyes at me.
“A vendetta against Nyx is hard to come by these days.” He stroked his beard, then suddenly grabbed my arm and pull me closer.
“Your time will come,” he whispered. “You have to be patient, and wait.” I nodded in silence, taking in a gulp of air only when he released my arm and addressed the rest of the party on the price of the sword.
The blacksmith’s words distracted me for the rest of the party’s shopping time, and it wasn’t until the general store that I began to notice something off about the group. They all bought 200 feet of rope and grappling hooks, claiming that they were hikers and outdoorsmen. I decided to call bullshit and bought my own rope and grappling hook. Seneca shot me a look and I shot one right back that said “we are talking about this later.”
After looking some more, the party finally decided to leave and head to the tavern. I followed behind Seneca and piped up once we were clear of the store.
“So...” I started, “where’s this place you all are hiking to?”
“Keep your voice down,” she snapped, “and I’ll tell you at the tavern.”
