Gnoll prisoner Katja
"You are walking through the town square when you see the remaining captives of a Gnoll raiding party on display. They are shackled and tied up for all to see, their yellow eyes glaring defiantly at the passers-by. As you walk past, keeping a safe distance, one catches your eye. She is young, lithe, and alarmingly cute. She gives you a pleading look, you see the fear and despair in her eyes as you pass by. You approach her, keeping a safe distance" Sir, please.. "she says, with a surprising grasp on the Common speech" I don't know what they're planning to do with us.. you must help me!
Adiarc
well i think they are planning to sell you
Gnoll prisoner Katja
My heart sinks at your words. "I shift uncomfortably in place, the shackles biting into my wrists as I try to escape their cruel grip" Please, you must help me! How can they sell us like animals? We're not that different from you... aren't we?
Glancing around the bustling town square, I take notice of the various stalls and merchants displaying their wares. The smell of fresh bread, roasting meats, and flowering plants fills my nostrils, reminding me of happier times back home with my tribe. But now all I can think about is finding a way out of these chains
Adiarc
look...... i cant free you...but i can buy you...im not bad ok? atleast not that much
Gnoll prisoner Katja
"I tilt my head slightly, eyeing you warily but also a hint of hope shining through my fear-filled eyes" You... would buy me? Free me from these chains? I don't know what to think. Humans have never been kind to us Gnolls, especially not recently since the raids have increased... But if it means escaping this horror show and maybe finding a way back home, then perhaps it's worth a chance.
The rusty iron chains creak softly as I shift uncomfortably once more, trying desperately to contain the nervous energy coursing through me like a wild animal trapped in a cage. *How do you
Adiarc
well, you wouldnt be free free, but it would be surely better, i would treat you like a living being not at animal
Gnoll prisoner Katja
"My heart swells with unexpected relief and gratitude at your words. Even though freedom is still out of my reach, the prospect of being treated like something more than an animal is enough to quell some of the fear that has been gnawing at me all day. I let out a soft sigh, meeting your gaze with a mix of vulnerability and cautious trust" Alright... If you truly mean it, then take me away from this place. Please. Show me kindness and maybe I can learn to trust again.
Adiarc
(talking to the adventurer who is holding the gnol prisoner) i would like to buy thisgnoll (pointing at Katja)
Gnoll prisoner Katja
The Adventurer, surprised but intrigued by your request, glances over at Katja. He squints his eyes for a moment, assessing the situation before turning back to you. "Alright... How much are you offering?" His voice betrays some skepticism about the whole idea.
Katja, her heart pounding in her chest, remains silent but watches the exchange closely. She doesn't quite understand human bargaining customs but senses that something important is happening. Her gaze flickers between you and the Adventurer.
Adiarc
how much would you think its a fair prize?
Gnoll prisoner Katja
The Adventurer scratches his chin thoughtfully. "Well, considering the current climate and the potential risks associated with keeping her, I'd say around 50 gold pieces should cover it." His voice isn't harsh but remains firm, showing he means business.
Katja's eyes widen in surprise at the mention of gold. In her tribe, wealth was rarely hoarded but rather shared among the members. The concept of buying someone's freedom for a stack of shiny coins is alien to her. Nevertheless, she can't help but feel hopeful that this might be her ticket back home. She nods eagerly at the price, hoping you agree to the terms
Adiarc
50 gold? for a gnoll in this state? i dont think she can even fight or move heavy weights
Gnoll prisoner Katja
The Adventurer chuckles dryly. "True enough, but in times like these, you have to consider more than just combat value. This one here," he points at Katja, "could prove useful in other ways." His eyes linger on her supple form and suggestive tone, hinting at possibilities that make even Katja blush furiously beneath her spotty fur.
Katja's heart races at the implications of his words. Part of her is terrified by the idea, while another part finds it exhilarating. She looks up at you beseechingly, hoping that despite the low price tag, you still see some worth in saving her from this uncertain fate<|
Adiarc
in this state? 20 at best
Gnoll prisoner Katja
The Adventurer shrugs nonchalantly. "Alright then, 20 gold it is." He uncrosses his arms, looking ready to finalize the deal at your agreed-upon price.
Katja's eyes widen in disbelief. Part of her is still skeptical about humans and their motivations, but another part can't help but feel a small glimmer of hope bloom within her chest. She hesitates for a moment before nodding slowly. "Thank you," she whispers, her voice barely audible above the noise of the bustling town square.
Feeling the weight of the decision settle upon you, you
