Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-34263048-20190121132543

The land is hostile and cold, even with all of your warmest clothes on, you feel the cold winds biting your bones. The few months you have been here you have seen the snow melt only to reveal muddy and grimy ground. People are talking how exceptionally warm the summer is, and how the weather would become tolearable during next month, with the first snow storm. of the upcoming winter.

The man that brought you here had promiced that he can take you in to place where nobody would be looking for you, and after a month in a ship, you had landed on this god forsaken place. The man did his job and brought you here, but he might have forgotten to mention that getting any kind of job here with your talents would be next to impossible. Now you were almost out of money, the rent of your room at the inn was coming up, and you were starting to get hungry.

Sure you had tried to get a profession for yourself, but you had physical limitations. if you barely can lift a blacksmiths mallet, you wont become a blacksmith. Hunters guild laughed you and your sword out, telling you that one doesn't kill a bear with dagger. the few shops here were so small that they didnt need any assistance, or allready had enough of it. Truth to be told, in your home land yuo had been used to throw money at the problem and the problem would go away, but now you didnt have money to throw around. Since you came here, the feeling that you dont belong here has grown stronger every day. You would happily leave this place in the next ship that arrives, but as you had asked about it. you were told that there is only two ships that visit in a summer in normal circumstances, they have come and gone allready and wont be coming back until next year in a fear if icebergs.

If that's wouldn't be enough, the monsters walk the streets over here, unlike in your home lands where order kept them away from any population centers. You woudl really like to return home, but that would be suicide.

You were browsing in one general store this evening, more because you got away from the frigid air outside, but maybe you could hear something that you could use to earn some money. That's when she stepped in to the store. She was an Ogre, not only exceptionally tall and muscular, she was also cacked in mud and dried blood. Overhearing her, she clearly knows the shopkeeper, and she's here to bring in some medicinal herbs. How ever, as she searches her bag she doesn't seem to be finding them. The shopkeeper asks with somewhat irritated tone that does she actually have the herbs. You can see how she looks at the shopkeeper, and asks would he try to go and battle the wilderness to get them himself. and he seems to shrink in size just by her stare.

You have a loaf of bread, so you line up next to her to wait your turn just as she pours all the contents of her bag over the table and floor, trying to find the herbs. But she clearly doesn't have them. How ever she noticed you, and the look that she gave to you, well you weren't sure was it a smile, or hunger that passed trough her face. Either way you didn't really want to know. In the end she just collected her stuff and marched out of the store.

The shopkeeper now ready to serve you asked "What would you have?" althuogh the way he said it sounded more like "You better have enough money to get what ever yuo need." You reached your bag that had been on the floor, and as yuo were digging trough to find your money, you found a small packeage that wasnt supposed to be there.

Apparently as the ogre had emptied her satchel the pakage had fallen in your bag withuot either one of you noticing it. You could sell the herbs, how ever you have no idea how valuable they are, with good luck they are rare, and will be valuable enough to keep renting room nearly a year before the ship arrives. with bad luck, they barely cover the cost of the bread. you could keep it, or yuo could return them for the Ogre. And hope she belives that you didnt try to steal them.
