We freed the prisoners, by the way. Couldn't understand a damn thing they said, but they seemed happy t' escape.

Haha... posing as a tax collector would be funny, but no.

Hmm... I don't hate the idea. Not sure I could put on a seductive act long enough to make it work, is the thing.

Irib follows my moves, and we sneak around, being careful not to make a sound.
"Shh."
>-crunch-
Irib steps on some old bone or something.
"No, don't touch that!" Luckily, it doesn't set off any traps or anything. We do notice a few, and Irib splits off a little piece that goes ahead of us so they can deal with the ones we don't find.
The hoard turns out to be martial arts media and paraphernalia from across many worlds, maybe even multiple realities. I get Irib to hide on the ceiling, while I hide behind a big sculpture of a noodle dragon.
Hrny comes in after a while, and that's my cue to pop out and slice for his neck!
"Whoa whoa, hey!" He's already turned around when I see him! He stops the blade by pinning it between his hands. "Geez!" Irib lands on him, but he does this intense whirlwind spin move that flings the goop right off!
>-splt sppklp-
"Gack pleh!"
"Sorry~" Hrny stops spinning and steadies himself.
"What's this all about?"
"Killed yer dragonblooded pals for a bounty. You're next."
"Oh! Well if they're dead, you can just take me in alive! Right? ...but I need proof that they're dead."
"Show him." Irib presents a bone fragment from each.
"Hmmmmmm..." He does some wavy hand stuff and gets a glowy aura. "Yep. (sigh) These are their bones. You guys must be pretty tough!"
"Got that right."
"I'm very soft, actually~"
"Hahah, you look it. Honestly, the whole operation was their idea. I went along, sure, but it didn't grow my hoard much."
"That's your thing, huh."
"Yeah, I just can't get enough! Bruce Flea, Jean-claude van Damtsvane, it's all a lot of fun!"
"You like vigorous physical activity~"
"You got it~" He winks and grins and points at Irib. "And the whole discipline angle! Let me tell you, with my genes, self-restraint does not come easy."
"If you let go of some of that restraint, I'll show you how easy it is to come~"
"Gods."
"Wow...~ Both of you, or just you?"
Fuck it! Y’know what? Why not! Let's show this Hrny hybrid a thing or two!
After that, we turn him in and collect some cash. Not a bad day. I wonder what Glinp’s been up to...
