Quick Buck

No-one was willing to admit to putting the poster up on the public noticeboard in the town square, scrawled in blotchy ink on cheap barkpaper.


"10,000 gold pieces to the person or people who kill the mayor of this town!"


Given that this was technically a bounty offer, the Constable didn't remove it. It was the talk of the town, with the Mayor not treating it as anything serious.


Until the Mayor vanished, their room covered in blood.


Everyone blamed each other, no-one noticing the town's finances were ransacked and the Mayor leaving the town, hidden in a trading boat.
