As Karter wanders down the dark alleyway, a man steps out from another alleyway in front of him. Almost immediately afterwards, two other men move to stand behind him.

"Well well well, ya look like someone who ain't got any business bein' here." The man in front of him says, in the darkness Karter can barely make out the grin on the man's face. "Are you lost?" One of the two men behind him asks, followed by the other two laughing.

The laughter doesn't last long, however, as the man in front of Karter pulls out a knife - a big one at that. "If you give us all your money, we'll tell ya how to get outta here. And if not..." 

Karter then hears sounds of weapons being unsheathed behind him. "If not then we'll just take it from you by force, whaddya say?"

Not even five seconds later though, Karter and the men are lit up by a lantern. A group of guards have arrived, carrying a lantern. "HALT!" One of the guards shout, as he draws his sword.

The three men who confronted Karter do not obey him, however, and instead opt to do the exact opposite, running away in the direction Karter came from, pursued by three guards, one of whom carries the lantern. The fourth guard meanwhile approaches Karter.

"You're lucky we got here on time sir, are you alright?"

"Oh! She has cookies? Then we really should find her! Anyone who has cookies is worth finding, especially if they're willing to share, right?" Whiteleaf responds, cheerfully. "But you say you met a bald guy and a mystery girl?"

Wandering down the street, Whiteleaf seems to be lost in thought for a few moments. "What was this mystery girl like? I mean, I know a lot of mystery girls, maybe I know this one too!"

[hr][@Hokum] - Madison

As Madison sits in the tavern, drinking her Ale, a person eventually succeeds at approaching her without nearly passing out or throwing up.

"M-miss? S-someone asked to give t-this to you." The man stammers, hurriedly putting an envelope on the table in front of her and then walking away as fast as one can walk away without running.

The envelope appears to not have been opened yet, and while there is no name on it of any sort, someone has written on it.

"To she who seeks gold. Read this and reconsider." the text reads, written in a colour that itself looks very similar to gold.
