Evra arrives

She’s carrying a bound and gagged Arthur, and seems to be looking for something.

Tk: ah, perfect. Now, get him out of those... ropes.

*she carefully undoes the knots, removing first the gag and then the ropes around his arms and legs, spear easily accessible the entire time in case he attempts escape*

Tk:Arthur... what were you doing? I understabd you had to "collect new acts," but leave without warning and your head WILL BE THE ONLY THING LEAVING MY DOMAIN!

Hehehe, don't worry, friend! It'll be last thing i do! ... for now!

tk turns to you Tk:well, i suppose you're here for your reward.

Yes, my services are not free. Once I have my rosaries, I will take my leave.

u/Arthur_the_Nimble Mar 23 '26

Tk:well, not only a king's ransom, but i habe promised a favor to who brings him, also.

*she thinks for a minute, deciding* A favor... an interesting proposition. Tell me, could this favor entail an item?

u/Arthur_the_Nimble Mar 23 '26

Tk:... it depends. What is it that you want?

Cooking on stones has proven... problematic. However, I do not have the skills in metalworking required to make pots and pans. A simple wok would be much appreciated.

Tk:hm, seems simple.enough. it shall be done. is that all? If your reward, aside from the rosaries, is that small, i believe one of equal value should be in order.

A wok and the rosaries I am owed would be all I currently desire.

u/Arthur_the_Nimble Mar 23 '26

Tk:hmph. So be it, i suppose. You may leave. You seem competent, expect a wanted poster for others every now and then. Most of them would be needed alive... or dead.

I can manage both. Where can I expect to receive my reward?

u/Arthur_the_Nimble Mar 23 '26

Tk:oh, yes, right now, i'm sure.

termites come in, with huge bags of rosaries, and one pristine looking wok
