Listening to the offer the gnome made, Kitra began to take interest. Even so, she considered the risk might not worth it. Besides, she was better at storytelling than swordfighting. She decided to subcontract the job to someone who could fight. [color=violet]"That's an interesting offer, Sir Gentlegnome, 50 golds in total and I'll guarantee your wagon safe...
