Rupert dusted himself off and tried to look dignified again. In truth, he was terrified beyond words.
Not only was this his first investigation on his own, but he had never been assulted in such a way either. This was all frighteningly new. He looked agian through the shop's window, making sure his assailants were gone. He could see only an old woman walking a child, both carrying large baskets of limp, wilted vegitables.
Rupert slowly opened the door and stepped out, peering both up and down the street. It looked clear, and the old woman and child ignored him.
He walked out onto the street and proceded towards the Whistling Lady, but this time keeping one hand beneath his robes, his fist around the grip of his dagger. Luckily, he made it to the taven without incident.
He found the inn mostly deserted. The large crowd that was there earlier had finished with their midday meal and gone either back to the mines or back to tend thier fields. All that was left was the two maids, the barkeep and one nicely dressed, older man sitting alone at the back of the tavern.
Rupert hung his hat and satchel by the door and started to make his way to bar. Suddenly, he had the wind knocked out of him by a very rude individual who rushed in, almost knocking Rupert down to get to the bar.
"Let's have that beer then, heh Nigel?" said the rude man as he approached the barkeep. Rupert froze in his tracks. He recognized the voice as being the one man who spoke in the gang that had assulted him. Rupert didn't think the man had noticed him when he rushed in, and his back was still turned.
"Right, right Hawther." said the bartender. "Did you get that errend done you were talking about earilier?"
"Rightly did, did I" said the man. "And now I'm going to be late getting back to the mines. But, hey! A man must sate his thirst if he's to put in a day's work, no?"
Choose Your Path...
A - Confront the assailant at the bar.
B - Leave the bar before he notices you.
C - Try to sneek past the man and take a seat at the back.
D - Go and sit at the bar, pretending you don't recognize him.
E - Sneek by and talk to the stranger at the back of the room.
F - Pull a maid aside and ask about the assailant.
