Chapter 40

With only a few moments left to go before Katie had to drive to work and Jeremy had to run off to a mid-term study session, Matt quickly doled out experience points and rewards for all. “Of course these guys were traveling with plenty of gold,” he reasoned. “They had to bribe everyone on the way over to tell them where you had gone.”

The players and their characters all went their separate ways. Bask gave Gessich the mace as a parting gift. Before rushing out the door, Katie gave the information of the Dungeons & Dragons GM to Rick, who was becoming quite the avid gamer. Matt hugged Tanya and wished her the best of luck with her transition and promised to keep in touch. Flynn thanked everyone for a well-played game, then he and Tanya left to go back to her apartment and pick up where they had left off in the shower.
