CF | A roast hog, bones picked mostly clean, lies on the table below a
CF | flickering torch. A skald sits on one side, plucking a mournful melody
CF | on his lute. A servant and an Arab merchant sit across from him,
CF | nursing goblets of fermented goat's milk.
CF |
CF | At the head of the table is a tall throne carved from wood. Sitting in
CF | the throne is a rose.
CF |
CF | "Oh, you couldn't have arrived at a worse time," cries the servant.
CF | "Queen Ylva has been enchanted."
CF |
CF | "I'm here to help," you say. "May I ask your name?"
CF |
CF | "I am Phillip, the queen's favorite slave and concubine," he says. "If
CF | you can save her, I will be so, so grateful—we all will," he insists.
CF | His companions do not agree or disagree.

gadzoks has left.
gadzoks has arrived. Lancelot says, "all kinds of transformed beings on thrones..."
keltena says, "Indeed. I feel like maybe thrones just pose an inherent risk in this world"

CF | "I will do my best to help, Your Majesty," you say to the rose.

CF | > Jacqueline says, "Let's not sit on any thrones."
Lancelot says, "or thorns :p"
keltena says (to Jacqueline), "I second that."
keltena says (to ClubFloyd), "talk to servant"

CF | > TALK TO SERVANT
CF |
CF | "It's just awful," says Phillip. "I know Queen Ylva better than
CF | anybody—she would rather have been turned into anything else."
CF |
CF | "I'm sure I can help," you say.
CF |
CF | > DavidW says, "unless those thrones deserve it."
keltena says, "Pffffft."
keltena says, "I like the priorities here."
Jacqueline says (to DW), "heh"
keltena says (to ClubFloyd), "talk to merchant"

CF | >
CF | > TALK TO MERCHANT
CF |
CF | "It is a pleasure to meet you," you tell the merchant. "My name is
CF | Ebenzabeth."
CF |
CF | "Mine is Said," he says. "I confess I am not as distressed by the
CF | situation as these men. To have a rose for a queen is rather poetic,
CF | in my opinion. When I tell my friends back home, they will think..."
CF |
CF | He stares at his drink for a bit, and doesn't finish the thought.
CF |
CF | > keltena says, "It does make a great story."
DavidW says, "enough, Said"
Lancelot says, "makes me wonder who is doing the enchanting here but I digress"
keltena says (to DavidW), "Pfffft"
Lancelot says, "lol"
