She was just starting to feel the power of the spell take just a little bit of form when the rude bugbear comes in. She's never been to the Triple Nine and doesn't recognize Gulfa, but she is not happy with his outburst. Then when he knocks over the lantern and purposefully lights the feather on fire, she's had enough. "NO! What have you done! You just destroyed Lord Monder's Couatl feather! You say Raffolk owed you 200 gold. That feather was worth 700. You just destroyed the Lord's property. It seems to me, you now owe Raffolk 700 gold. You better pay him, now! or Lord Monder will need to get involved." She stands up, her head only coming to the bugbear's elbows, pulls her shield off her back and puts it on her arm, expecting the bugbear to immediately attack her.

HEY! He was about to tell the bugbear about the value of the feather and that he now owed the halfling money, when Ky jumps in and does so. The Lord will be most upset with you as he was very excited about finally getting his hands on that rare feather. So with the Lord offering 700 gold for it would mean that you owe Raffolk here 500 gold after taking out the 200 he owes you. He stands ready, hoping this won't turn into a fight, but he is ready if it does.

He alone can't make any decision. "Keep the faith that the brightest of lights can be found in the darkness. Let's see what unfolds, shall we?"

bwatford Posted October 18, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted October 18, 2023 CHAPTER ONE - BLOOD ON THE CROWN The bestial bugbear Gulfa knew he was more than outmatched as over half of the Manticores stood to defend Raffolk, and as they tried to explain the situation with the feather, the bugbear just blew off their words like water off of his back "Fedder this... and fedder that...." he said as he kept his focus on the halfling "You have 'till noon tomorrow.... 200 gold.... or I'll see you again.... in private, next time." and with that the brute stormed out of the establishment as quick as he came. The rest of the tavern shies away from the entire scene, which started unexpectedly and only took a couple of minutes to settle after Gulfa leaves, as the flames are quickly doused with mugs of beer. Ricio Tane comes over to the soaked table, has it cleaned up by Madrika, one of the barmaids, and invites the halfling and the Manticores to a clean table and a drink on the house to console the halfling. Raffolk avoids Ricio as much as possible and explains the events to him with only a few diversionary explanations. Too embarrassed as to what has just transpired to be openly speak about his gambling debt. He was shaken by the incident and desperate, and as soon as Ricio left the table, he opened up to the Manticores about his gambling debt repentantly and now he was afraid that Gulfa would surely maim or kill him if he doesn't deliver the 200 gold pieces by noon the next day. He tells the group that he isn't really brave, and that he really did not find the Couatl feather in a cave, but rather it was part of a shared inheritance. That both him and his Granny Pearla had both received one as the feathers had been passed down as part of their family's greatest assets. But now that he has lost his, he has nothing to give Lord Monder, and thus nothing to pay Gulfa with.

He was hoping they might find out where the halfling found it and go look for more. As I see it, you have a few choices. You can pack what you can carry and flee the city, never to return. You can hire someone to go to that bugbears place and put the hurt on him till he gives you the money he just cost you. You can pay them after they collect from Gulfa. Or, and probably the best way to go, is go to Lord Monder and tell him what happened. File a grievance towards Gulfa and have the law force him to pay for what he destroyed. Minus the amount you owe him. We can all be witnesses if need be. He turns to the rest of the group. And before any of you bleeding hearts suggest it, NO, we are not giving him the 200 gold so he can pay off his debt! No profit in that. We would just be out 200 gold.

You are in good company, you have options. What are you willing to sacrifice? What are you not? These are choices we all must make, and circumstances means it is your time."
