ultrafilter: Aug 23, 2007; It's okay if you have any questions.

Let's not taunt a group of six thieves. Honesty has worked well so far, so let's talk about unfinished business.

The toothless old man mutters at you. He tells you that this ale cellar is a dangerous place and to "Beware the hag". Having given his warning, he shuffles fearfully away.

HAG ALERT

Anyway ask about your unfinished business.

Will you:

Ask them the way to the Thieves' Guild? Turn to Section 145.

Say you need help with some unfinished business? Turn to Section 246.

Boldly retort that their threats don't scare you? Turn to Section 167.

Section 246 posted:

They appear interested and offer you some ale. You accept a mug but do not drink.

You suggest that in helping you, they might gain a great deal. They agree to meet you and tell you to come to the Thieves' Guild at mid-day tomorrow, via the disguised coal-hole in Hornbeam Road. You begin to chat with them.

Turn to Section 169.

Section 169 posted:

Two newcomers enter the Red Dragon ale cellar.

The first is a very tall, wiry man whose frame is draped in a black cloak. The only hint of colour is his hair, very curly and dyed bright corn-yellow.

The second is a handsome young woman dressed in a bizarre patch-work of armour.

The barman mutters under his breath, then forces his face into a smile. "Tytchev, Cassandra, welcome!" he shouts obsequiously.

The thieves move away from you to sit at another table.

Tyutchev strolls to the bar and orders a drink. Cassandra sits opposite you, at your table. She ignores you and Tyutchev joins her.

Will you:

Say nothing? Turn to Section 2.

Get up and leave the ale cellar? Turn to Section 363.

Introduce yourself? Turn to Section 374.

Tyutchev says, "You are a newcomer - what brings you to the Red Dragon?"

Cassandra takes a dagger from her boot and starts to toss it end over end, catching it each time by the tip. As you consider your answer, she tosses it again but does not catch it. It buries itself in the table, a millimetre from your hand.
