Labels:text | screenshot | colorfulness OCR: The Glass Unicorn <Level 0+> By: LORD BRITISH As you are walking down the crowded streets of the kingdom, when a shaded man notions you to the cart he his sitting upon. His young face weary and tired tired from a lack of sleep. @ He tries to smile and leans closer to you keeping his distance incase you might decide to harm him. He speaks to you in a rather quiet voice, but loud enough to carry over the racket of the busy streets, "I don't suppose you would be hiring out your services now would you?" You take a step backwards and look the fellow over. "Depends, " you say staring the young man in his eyes, "For what purpose do you look to hire my ... expertise for?" You grin to yourself at the thought of how great that made you sound. @ "Well, I need you to retrieve a small object that was stolen from me by a thief a few days ago.", the man looks at you closer, "The job is quite simple. It is just that I am not a fighting nan, and I doubt this bastard will return the item that easily. I am not a wealthy man, so all I can offer you in return are 50000 gold pieces for your troubles." @ Just as you had expected. You knew there was going to be a catch to it, but hey, it couldn't be that bad ... could it? Besides, the money might come in handy when you're finished here. PYou except the job and he fills you in on the details ... "The thief stole a Glass Unicorn from me when I entered this city. It was a gift from my dead wife." The man sniffs back a tear and continues. ? "When he stole it from me I heard one of his henchmen mention something about a tavern named, The Salty Monkey. So I am assuming that would be good place to start." You recognize the name of the tavern, and tell the poor man to wait for you to return here, and you head off to track down the thief . You push your way through the bustling mob of people trying to make it to the tavern as quickly as possible, and after a good 20 minutes you finally reach you destination. A sign hanging over the old wooden shack reads: The SaLTY MONKEY You enter the smoke filled tavern, and your lungs are imeadiately filled with foriegn smokes and the smell of aging grease. You are no further than five steps away from the entrance when you stumble over an unseen object. You stand up and brush yourself off as the croud bursts into an uproar of laughter. You turn to see what it was you tripped over and find a large Troll, standing there with an evil grin on his ? "Watch it buddy.", you say to the Troll trying to build back some of your ugly face. pride. The Troll is enraged by this and leaps forward with his fists raised for combat. His comrades that were sitting at the table with him grunt and join in the frolly. There is no backing out of this now ... @ << MONSTER : "3, 4">> The tavern ceases thier laughter after watching you finish off four rather large Trolls all by yourself, and instead continue with thier drinking. @ The Bartender motions for some men in the back to clean the mess up and you continue about your business. You approach the bartender and whisper quietly to him, "Can you tell me where I might come by some inexpensive itens?" The Bartender grins and nods his head toward the dark part of the bar near the back. There you see a group of five poorly dressed bums grouped around a table full of stolen goods. Appraoching the table descreately you pull a chair up next then. They stop their conversations and look at you expectantly. You grin and pull out a small sack of gold. "I am looking for glass figures, got any?" The largest of them smiles, revealing his black and rotting teeth. "As a matter of fact, we came across this beauty a few days ago.", he says is he pulls out a Glass figure of a Unicorn. You pull out your weapon and say, "Hand it over pal, I'm hear to take it back to it's rightfull owner." @ "Son of a Seabum!", the man screams as he leaps up and pulls out his dagger. The other four thieves at the table with him pull out similar weapons and prepare for battle as well. @ << MONSTER: "8,5">> With that over with you put away you weapon and continue about your you business. You place the Glass Unicorn in belt pouch and collect the other stolen joods in one of the thieve's sacks. You hand the sack to the bartender ind smile, "Sorry about the trouble, these should cover for the damage." He nods and takes the sack placing it behind the bar. You turn and leave to return the Glass Unicorn to the strange man that hired you. Upon finding him he leaps off the cart seeing the Unicorn in your hands and rushes over to greet you. "Thank you stranger, I would never have been the same if you had not retrieved this for me!" You jerk the Unicorn out of his reach and hold out your free hand. ? "Oh yes, the gold." He pulls out a sack of gold and places it in the palm of your hand. "Again, thank you." He turns and climbs up onto his cart and yanks the reigns to his steeds and rides off down the road.
