‘this was fun and terrible.’ ( @bydcfault to Karol )
“You hit yer head? Where’d that get fun!?” Don’t mind him so much, Harry, you know he tended to get like this- flustered and panicked the moment after a major encounter, but you both would be the talk of the bar when you guys got back to town.
At present, Karol doubled over, hands on his knees, gasping for breath. They had both hauled some serious ass to get out of that monster nest, but they’d gotten what they came for! He reached into his pocket, withdrawing the stone. It looked like tarnished amber, but the texture was nothing of the sort. It caught the light in a slew of oranges and yellows.
And Karol grinned. “You think Rita’s gonna flip?” He could recall her words now: you’re both idiots! You’ll never get out of that place alive! Don’t waste your time getting yourself killed.
So much for getting themselves killed. And allegedly, she could use this for further research on magitech. What a find!
