The Kingdoms of Terror posted:You follow the man through a curtained archway to a high-vaulted chamber that reeks with the pungent smell of preservatives and dead bodies. Several carcasses of exotic animals hang from hooks in the ceiling, and dissected heads destined for trophy plaques are laid on the large workbenches.

There’s something I don’t get about your book Mr. Conrad. What’s that, Billy? Why does Marlowe keep going up the river? Why doesn’t he stop? Why doesn’t he turn back? Well you see Billy, part of him knows he should do that. Part of him wants to just get on with the normal life he’d have if he did do what you suggest. But there’s another part. That part seeks adventure, strangeness, excitement. That’s the part that makes Marlowe continue into the darkness, meet Kurtz at the heart, and share with him a drink.

Let us not drink, lest there be some kind of paralytic agent in that wine that'll hasten us on our way to becoming part of this taxidermy exhibition.

But if we hadn't accepted the drink, or if we'd never gone into the shop at all, then this would have happened instead:The Kingdoms of Terror posted:You arrive at a tavern, but one that looks more like a huge banqueting hall than a city alehouse. The Inn of the Crossed Swords is the largest and noisiest tavern you have ever seen. A constant flow of soldiers pour in and out of its cathedral-like doors, and the adjoining stable is large enough to house the horses of an entire army. We currently have 40 Gold Crowns. The maximum bet is 10 Gold Crowns.

IIRC there is a magnakai discipline check that can save our life in the Taxidermist's shop, but it's definitely not on our current short list and you still take heavy damage that might kill you off anyway. It's more than you deserve after 4 or 5 "are you SURE?" choices like that.

After that, you need Huntmastery, Divination, or the restraint not to try and murder the fucker to avoid a huge damage hit. We've had enough shady drinks for now; let's just have a seat at the table

He who looks the higher is the more highly distinguished, and turning over the great book of nature (which is the proper object of philosophy) is the way to elevate one's gaze.

The merchant looks lonely, let's cheer him up and make his day by giving him a story to tell his grandkids about the time he met a Kai Lord. Plus we have a bunch of money and we should be looking for chances to spend it

Leraika posted:We're rich, might as well spend like it The Kingdoms of Terror posted:The room is a disappointment. For five Gold Crowns you were expecting some degree of luxury, but the small and shabby accommodation you find leaves much to be desired. Steam rising from an open-topped barrel in a corner of the room clouds the air. At first you think it must be some form of heating, until you discover it is full of soapy water and realize that this is, in fact, your hot bath. The meagre luxuries of Varetta do not come cheaply. If we'd gone with the second class room it would only have restored 1 Endurance point. If you stay in the dormitory then one backpack item is stolen while you sleep.
