Community Service

[Anume]

Oops.

You step out of the shadows.

You trample around loudly again.

Zoichan yells 'Slandren couldn't rob his way out of a paper bag!

You are now WANTED!

Zoichan stops short of a killing blow.

As you lose your consciousness you see a swarm of guards surround you quickly.

Center Cell

You stand in a small, dunk cell. The walls are moist and carry distinct

marks of blood, and the air is thick with fear and stench of over occupants.

A bit of straw covers the ground and serves as a bed, with a small bucket

doubling as food pot and sanitary device. Cries of remorse fill the air

mixed with occasional shuffle and clank of guards. North of you a magical

barrier crackles, preventing any escape.

Your sentence has been set to Normal for 20 hours.

'You tell Zoichan 'I'm just trying to feed my family sir!

Zoichan tells you 'Then steal ducks, not rings.'

Venriir yells 'Hhey you too!'

Venriir yells 'faoR griMulfFr!'

Zoichan flies in.

Zoichan looks at you.

You tell Zoichan 'My wife will not take kindly to me being in jail again sir'

Zoichan says 'Then quit breaking the law.'

Your sentence has been set to Bail of 100000 gold for 14 hours (Use "bail" to pay).

A magical barrier parts about Zoichan.

Zoichan flies north.

You tell Zoichan 'How about we put this behind us'

You tell Zoichan 'Community service'

Zoichan tells you 'I'll have your hand cut off next time.'

You tell Zoichan 'Aye, just dont speak of it in Falen Dara I dont wanna slander my name'

Zoichan tells you 'Then perhaps you should have chosen a better profession.'

Zoichan tells you 'You're going to be in there quite a while, should you not pay that bail.'

>>>

You tell Zoichan 'Arrgh 100,000 gold! My wife is gonna find out, I'm broke from my gambling problem and several hatchers on the way'

Zoichan tells you 'Then you best offer me something better.'

You tell Zoichan 'Any item from my person sir'

You have failed to pay the bail in given time. Remaining sentence will be carried out as normal.

Your sentence has been set to Extended for 40 hours..

Zoichan flies in.

Zoichan looks at you.

Zoichan says 'You see...this is the true shame.'

Zoichan says 'You have nothing I desire.'

Zoichan seems to measure you up and consider your size.

You say 'I have 30,000 in the bank'

You shake and shudder profusely.

Zoichan says 'Is that right.'

You nod.

You say '8,000 gold on me.'

Zoichan sits down and thinks deeply.

You say 'Do you like spears?'

You say 'Or a friend or family member that does?'

You shake and shudder profusely.

Zoichan says 'Let me see if I can arrange something.'

A magical barrier parts about Zoichan.

Zoichan walks north.

You tell Zoichan 'Maybe I owe the tribune a favor, like community service!'

You shake and shudder profusely.

You light some sand colored leaves and begin to smoke it.

Your skin turns to stone.

Your withdrawal pains subside.

Zoichan tells you 'Come to the Centeral Square.'

Your sentence has been set to Release in 0 hours..

The Central Square of Val Miran

You stand amid the central square of Val Miran. All around you colossal

buildings rise up. The smell of commerce is in the air and the citizens of

Val Miran bustle with activity. Horse carts haul trade items for sale in

the Eastern and Western districts, and travelers and adventurers alike walk

the streets in search of new challenges.

A pile of storm giant corpses is here, containing both soldiers and civilians.

A Val Miran Guardsman is hanging from a scaffold, a wooden sign around his broken neck.

The Golden Banner of Val Miran blows in the wind here.

The official Tribunal Roll Call has been posted here.

A granite fountain is here filled with water for the thirsty.

Zoichan looks at you.

Zoichan says 'Put the weapons away.'

Aras looks at you.

You sheath your weapons.

You rest.

Zoichan says 'Now begin your community service.'

You say 'Aye, what it be sir?'

Zoichan says 'The well is filthy.'

Slandren rolls up his sleeves.

Zoichan says 'And that banner's pole has a nasty creak in it, towards the top.'

Zoichan says 'Climb up to the top and see what you can do with it.'

Zoichan closes his eyes for a moment and regulates his breathing.

A resident of Val Miran says 'Val Miran is so lovely in the summertime.'

A resident of Val Miran smiles at himself.

Slandren gets an extra shirt from a satchel and begins vigorously scrubbing the well.

You say 'Aye sir, I will get that flagpole as well.'

Zoichan looks at the weather with distain.

Slandren slips at the edge of the well.

You say 'Whew! Does tribune cover any injuries?

Zoichan says 'No, we do not.'

Zoichan mutters something quietly to himself.

Zoichan says 'Looks like rain.'

The tails of Zoichan's longcoat flap gently in the wind.

Zoichan pulls the collar of his coat closer to his neck.

You lookup into the sky.

The sky is cloudless and a cool northern gust blows.

Using the sky and the surroundings you decide you are in area of ValMiran.

The sun slowly disappears in the west.

The sky is getting cloudy.

Slandren wrings his shirt out and continues scrubbing.

Zoichan motions to the pile of corpses.

You grumble distractedly to yourself.

Zoichan peers at you intently.

The night has begun.

Aras inverts the barrel, spilling water all over the ground.

You say 'Aye'

Zoichan gives a short quick nod.

Plugart rides in.

Slandren sluggardly begins stacking the corpses.

Plugart drinks water from a granite fountain.

Zoichan says 'How did that taste, Plugart?'

Zoichan looks at Plugart.

Plugart looks at Zoichan.

Slandren secretly plunders through each pocket of every corpse!

Plugart steps closer to Zoichan, and points a knobbly finger at him.

Small but visable creases show in Zoichan's face as he frowns.

You say 'What, they dont need it anymore!'

Slandren steals one gold coin from a storm giant corpse.

Zoichan covers his face with his hand, sighs gently, and shakes his head.

The Blood Guard glares icily at you, you feel cold to your bones.

The Blood Guard says 'THROW HIM BACK IN THE HOLE!'

Plugart looks at the Blood Guard.

Slandren begins scrubbing the well vigorously again.

Zoichan's eyes widen slightly as he attempts to suppress a laugh.

Slandren looks up at the towering banner.

Zoichan says 'Yes, the flagpole is next.'

The clouds disappear.

The Golden Banner of Val Miran flaps triumphantly in the city's glorious winds. >>>

You grumble distractedly to yourself.

Zoichan says 'Do be careful climbing it.'

You say 'Aye'

You say 'Will the tribune have any compensation for injuries?'

Plugart immediately runs over to the flagpole base and grabs it, then looks up expectantly.

Slandren looks up at the towering banner.

Zoichan says 'It's hard to get the guards to mop the streets these days as it is...and if it's covered in blood.'

Zoichan says 'Plugart, Slandren is taking care of his community service. I ask that you do not aid him.'

Zoichan says 'As it is pennance for his crimes.'

Plugart gets up and starts rummaging through his pack again.

Slandren begins to climb the pole with all his might, poor bugger constantly slipping back down.

The Blood Guard snickers softly.

Plugart looks at Zoichan.

You stand up.

Slandren stands a tall ladder against the flagpole.

You say 'There!'

Zoichan quietly folds his hands into the pockets of his coat.

Slandren starts climbing the ladder and the first wrung snaps violently!

You say 'Arrgh'

Slandren climbs hastily to the top.

Plugart reaches over and affectionately pats Zoichan's Undead Fist on the knuckles, then gets distracted by the contents of his

bag again.

Plugart looks at his wristwatch and his face brightens.

You yell 'I can almost see Maelbrim from here!!!!'

Plugart says 'Duck time!'

Plugart rides west.

A loud creak comes from the top of the banister. Zoichan nods and points to the top.

Plugart rides in.

Plugart drops a roasted duck.

Zoichan says 'Take care of that. I'l be right back with you.'

Zoichan flies east.

The Blood Guard flies east.

Slandren pulls out some secret bramb-tape from a satchel and wraps the cracked pole smoothly.

The Blood Guard points at you.

Zoichan says 'Yes yes...I saw.'

Slandren jumps up hastily.

The Blood Guard chuckles politely.

Plugart nonchalantely balances the bottle of milk in one hand.
