>Uh... where we should start? Did you ask around town if anyone saw that guy before he set up shop in the cemetery?
Not really. Defilement of the dead is a sensitive subject, and I've been mulling over pursuing it further.
>did you inspect the creature he wanted to stab us into?
Only enough to determine it was a human. Other than that, I didn't want to disturb the body any more than it had been.
It's the job of an undertaker or a priest to handle a body, not mine.
>maybe something like a ring of resist fire. in case we accidentally go off and like the area on fire.
Good idea. If you really do have some sort of fire power, that would be handy.
I'll see if there's anything on main street.
>Purchase Ale >Hear Rumors
I nod in agreement.
A fantastic idea. We may hear of a local township in need of immediate help.

A serene voice greets us. "Ah, welcome, welcome. How does the day fare for you, young sir." He nods to Mereba as well. "And you as well, mi-"
"Wow... Andy, look at this place! There's a Broom of Flying! I've never seen one of those in such great condition before..."
The man behind the counter chuckles softly. "I'm glad to see someone so interested in my selection. Most people wonder why it's on the wall, and not sweeping the floor."
I greet the shopkeep with a warm smile. "Sorry, she gets a bit excited around..."
I'm halted by an upraised hand. "It's quite alright. Such interest in my work is nothing but a compliment. Speaking of interest..."
He leans back, closing his eyes. "What interests you, young one?"
I'm not young. "We've recently come across a few hazards related to fire lately. I was wondering if you would happen to have anything to deal with that?"
The shopkeeper nods. "Yes, yes. We have a few things for that. A potion would run you around 50 kelt, and last you for three hours. A scroll would be 25 kelt, but requires someone of magical ability to use it."
He opens one eye. "Then again, it would probably burn, if it's fire that worries you."
"I was wondering if you possibly had a more... permanent solution?"
"Ah, so it's a ring you are looking for? That would run you around... 4,000 kelt."
I try to hide my astonishment. I'm pretty sure from the shopkeeper's reaction that I failed.
"And that's the only other alternative? Perhaps you have something... used?"
After he looks me over for a second, the shopkeeper makes a motion with his hand, whisking a tray with a ring sitting on top of it to the table.
"Well, there is this. I bought this second hand, and it's come to be quite the annoyance.
He sighs. "Superstitious folk, telling me it didn't work at all, that it was cursed. I've worn it a few times and seen nothing wrong with it. Perhaps they thought it would make them flat out immune... but I digress."
"Seeing as everyone around here knows about the ring, they won't lay a finger on it. However, if you're willing to deal with the second-hand... I'm willing to part with this ring for 1,000 kelt.
...I'll be honest guys. I only have around 2,000 kelt.
If it works, that's a fantastic deal, and I'm not feeling anything 'evil' from it. It could possibly still be cursed, but... What do you all think?
Should we go with the ring, or just grab some potions just in case? Or maybe we could try to get something else?
