as the morning emerald sun rose across the horizon the sturring of nightly creatures ceased, and all was peaceful. our band of muppets set out on their own journeys: the Warmaster returning home to the south hive; bonesy and Grug the gorillo staying at morn, seeing that after the siege business increased greatly and the duo hornsy and savant getting back to Black Sand City, or what is to BE Black Sand City.

as the 2 approached the waystation a guard recognised hornsy and waved

guard: ey guys, Hornsy returned

guard2: good to have you back

guard3: hey next time you challenge me to pea shooting, im ready

hornsy: hah, I may have left for a while, but that doesn't mean I got sloppy

barkeeper: ah your back, been a while. the horned special?

hornsy: you bloody know it

barkeeper: and you *looks at savant*

savant: oh...uhh, I don't drink, so just water

barkeeper: heh, seriously

savant: try living with a bunch of mad skeletons feeding you nothing but fish and water for 3 pissing years.

hornsy: Damm savant, I never knew you were kept for that long

barkeeper: wait, savant? as in the leader of the skin bandits

hornsy: let me explain

as hornsy finished explaining the reason he left, a group of adventurers entered the bar, at least 6: 2 humans, a Hiver prince and 3 shek

shek adventurer1: hey boss, isn't that savant

hive prince: yea, easy money

human adventurer1: the hell is he doing all the way out here

shek adventurers2: wait is that hornsy with him

human adventurers2: the hell is that guy doing hanging out with a walking bag of money?

hive prince: dunno, well best to get the bounty when his guard is down

the barkeep noticed the adventures with weapons drawn

barkeep: you got trouble, they think the bounty is still available 

hornsy: hey, I got this

hornsy then stood up, his massive size towers over even the shek by 1 & half feet

hornsy: so, I guess by your weapons in your hands and seeing that he's here, I guess you want the bounty

hive prince: I don't know what the relationship between you 2 is, so yea, hand him over

hornsy: well seeing i just got back, I guess the news hasn't spread

hive prince: wh-what news?

hornsy: savant of the skin bandits is pardoned and the bounty has been dropped

hive prince: whaaa, why

hornsy: *explains what happened at catun*

hive prince: pff impossible, there's no way you could have done that

hornsy: then go all the way to catun and say that to lord Shiro's face then

shek adventurer1: hey boss of we just take him now before the news spreads we can still get the money
