Day 4, Hour 11 (Part 2)

On our way to get our potion, we come across two guys fighting over some girl. If their names are any indication, these are the two people who tried to murder us for a bounty, way, way back when we were in Candlekeep. Admittedly it was a feeble attempt, but it’s still quite enough for us to have no qualms whatsoever about breaking out the popcorn and watching these two kill each other.

Sadly, our entertainment is cut short, if you’ll pardon the pun. The fight literally ends in half a second, with Shank running Carbos through with a mighty blow and then throwing down his sword, turning to face us and bellowing “ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED? ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?! IS THAT NOT WHY YOU ARE HERE?!”

Actually, he doesn’t do that, because his puny brain is incapable of that level of "badass". Instead, his girl complains that he got blood on her dress and he goes chasing after her, dragging his knuckles across the ground and drooling slightly. At first we sigh with disappointment, but then we remember Carbos’ dead body. Sweet, free gold.

With that pleasant little distraction over and done with, we move on and finally get our grubby mits on a Potion of Genius. As soon as we knock this sucker back, we’ll begin scribing these magical scrolls right here in the street, in plain view of everyone in the district.

Truly, the vigilance of the Cowled Wizards knows no bounds
