The Haunted Farm (Dungeon, 2)

[Deleted]

Rith took the rest of the gold, bundled up her new armour, and placed her old quiver at her hip, leaving nothing behind, even though she could surely afford to, now. After a first adventure like this, she wondered if she'd ever need to go on another one! Still, she was too young to retire. What was she going to do, grow crops? Was she going to end up like whoever wrote all that boring stuff down, under the granary?

Or, maybe she'd just find a way to spend it all in short order. She had been looking forward to going on a shopping trip, though this morning, she'd assumed that'd be after she earned just a few hundred more Ritz. Thousands seemed too good to be true, and probably would be if someone found out about it. Success was dangerous!

"As long as whoever I buy this from doesn't complain and take it back, later. I'm in it for 'me'. Pledging service? Bleh. Let's head back to the market, we're rich enough to get someone else to cure all this meat for us. And we probably couldn't fight off everything that wants to come eat it if we did it on our own, anyway. I've also got to get this to the bank before I get robbed, or something."

"I don't know. I think we're pretty strong."

"Let's head back to town anyway. I feel like I need a bath after all of this. What with the viscera and such flying about."

"That was your fault."

"..... Let's not speak of it."

Fyrra and Merrake were ready to depart. Once their companion had themselves sorted out they'd move along back towards Innorsford at a decent pace. Hoping to make both good time back to the town, and get there in one piece. Fyrra was concerned about what sorts of magic the objects they had recovered could hold. She was also concerned about the spirit they let free. Somehow, someone had imprisoned them. Somehow they had thought that was a great idea. Fyrra wasn't so sure about what they had done. Worry played across her face.

"Don't worry, Kalimbra. We'll be back to Innorsford soon. Then you can get that bath and we can get a hot meal. Maybe even Duke Mardok and Jorkahn will still be there."

"Yes... that sounds good."
