A few hours later, the unfortunate messenger, whose name was Paula, came back to life. She had resurrected at the save point in Bastion’s town square. An elderly man greeted her and helped her step down from the platform that held the glowing save point.

“How did the queen take the news?” he asked.

“Not well, boss,” said Paula. “She was furious. She said she was going to burn the ninja village to the ground. After saying that, she set me on fire and killed me.”

“I’m sorry you keep having to go through this,” he said.

“It’s okay,” said Paula. “Dying and coming back to life in a new body is a rush. Becoming someone new over and over again is just about the best thing ever. Besides, being a professional bad-news-giver is a good job and easy money.”

“And the painkiller we gave you?” the man said.

“I didn’t feel a thing.”

The man nodded. “That’s good. I have a feeling that we may have need of your services soon. The menu countdown spells troublesome times ahead.”

He gave her a sealed yellow envelope. “Here’s your payment with a nice bonus. Please stay in the city. I may have more work for you soon.”

“I always do.”

He looked toward the queen’s palace. “Without us to advise her, the queen’s madness could consume this realm. She needs us, even if she doesn’t realize it.”

The man left her, and Paula opened the envelope, adding the 4,500 GP to her inventory. This would be enough money to pay for all of her living expenses for the next three months, allowing her to maintain the lifestyle to which she had grown accustomed.
