Such potions are rare and expensive, so regular shops don't sell them - barely anyone could afford one.

They tell you to head to the local Academy of Magic. Since you assisted them before in the troubles with chimera attacks in the surrounding area, they are willing to sell you two for the price of one.

It would be 50 Ducats.

He rubs his hands and eagerly shows forth his various wares, made of the sharpest of steel.

Since you're a dwarf he shows various axes, bigger and smaller ones. There is also a morning star which is not easy to handle.

"A battle axe is very effective and deals a lot of damage. It's two-handed though, so you would not be able to use your shield."

The merchant lifts and eyebrow as you start to talk to the little metal elf with the big flower. It looks like it would perfectly fit any garden.

The little elf does not answer but has a bright beaming smile.

Well, in the last adventure the heroes heard that the local dwarf mine had been attacked by orcs. They went there together with Thorgrim the dwarf and Boronian the hunter - and found out that there weren't just orcs there, but also spiders! They made it to the mushroom gardens of the mine were they saw a wizard and a mutated spider-halfbreed. There was a big sphere that might have been an emerald. But then the place collapsed - thought they managed to escape.

Last time, the heroes were back in the town of Riva on a shopping spree.

The consistency of the grey liquid is more like honey than like water.

The pharmacist waits for a few moments and two of the symbols begin to glow in a greenish color.

"Forgive me, gentlemen," the man with the eyepatch sneers, "it seems to me you have a nice lump of horse manure on your boot. Be careful not to slip on it."

You hear footsteps from behind. A powerful looking blond woman, and an elf are now cutting off your retreat. All four of them are well armed.

"Now let me be clear. I want the woman. She's a thief, and I will bring her to justice. Hand her over, and let's forget our meeting."

"Just honest bounty hunters. And there is a bounty on this little paramour of Phex. She stole a horse."

Fina had gotten pale and moved closer to Nazom. "Please... don't let them take me." she whimpered.

"So... four bounty hunters for a horse thief. Bit much isn't it?"

>>355
"We could... but I want to know why send out four bounty hunters, just for a stolen horse."

>To the bounty hunters.

The man with the eyepatch looks over to his pal who was wearing a spear.

"Would you now? A good horse is easily worth 150 gold pieces. You don't look like you could afford that. Just safe yourself the money and hand her over. She is not worth your while."

>>356
"The bounty on her head is 40 gold pieces after all." said the tall woman n your back. "And the bounty was placed by a horse breeder who had several of his steeds stolen before."

"We don't know where this horse breeder is, though... given I am unsure of our current directive, other than those tower wizards, I guess we can be side-tracked for a bit."

"We will take the girl to him, it's a two weeks trip south."

>>359
She groaned... "I took the horse, yes, but I didn't mean to steal it. I mean, I guess I did steal it - I was being chased by orcs, and there were horses, and I took one to escape..."

"Hm..." I was suspicious of ehr story, but for now decided not to press her.

I return my attention to the bounty hunters.
"How 'bout this. 40 durats on her head and ther's four of you. How about 13 durats for the each of you?"

They look at each other for a moment, then their leader with the eyepatch gives a grin. "15 ducats for each of us, after all, we are talking about our reputation as bounty hunters here."

Epic Mount!Hero.tYu2gCountry code: gb, country type: geoip, valid: 1  365

"True, so you were going to split the bounty between you two equally once you turned her in? You lot work together often?"

"We're four, not two. And we always split equally."

"Don't stall now. Hand over the girl or the money. "The blond giantess said with a firm voice.

14 durats is my final offer. You'll still get more than the set bounty. that's 56 durats in total which is still more than the 40. Whenever you slit each others throats for the total afterwards that's none of my business."

Fina gave an audible sigh of relieve as the bounty hunters agreed on the offer. The man with the eye patch moved forward with determination and stretched out his hand. "The money, please."

He checks the coins, especially those that Vinifera had given him, as they seemed very old. But they were gold alright.

He sneered at the girl and gave a courteous bow. "Looks like it is your lucky day, thief." He hands the bounty letter over to Vinifera, then, upon his command, the four hunters depart.

Fina hugged both of you. "Thank you, oh, thank you! You won't regret it."

"If Nazom trusts you then, I suppose I should trust you too. Or at least trust you'll pay us back in the future." I lamented the loss of 42 durats. I maybe an adventurer but I am also struggling to get my winery in Aumond back in business.
