Late last night in Leilon. . .

[cappyra]

There was a sharp metallic *TINK followed by an array of curses that caused the sailors near the Leilon Docks to take notice.

Derrick looked at the broken key in his gauntleted hand and then slammed a gauntleted fist into the heavy oak door embedding what was left of the key deep into the wood.

"What in blazes...  locked out of me own Inn!!!"  

Just then Derrick noticed a shiney brass plaque by the door frame.

"FRELDO!!!!"  WHAT!  BAH!  WHY I'LL...  

Derrick unsheathed his blades and began cursing incoherently.  Most of the townsfolk shrunk away...  those that didn't run.

Derrick's shouts and curses subsided into muttering...  "Bah... what I fall into a hole for what?  A year or so... and Freldo takes over me place?"  

A year...

Had it been that long?  

Derrick sheathed his blades and walked slowly out of town...  south..  towards Hlint...  looking for Freldo...

*waves and smiles*

[SuperMunch]

Freldo hears about a sinister-looking fellow called Derrick looking for him

I think I'll hang a banner out to welcome Boss #1 back from his vacation.
