After the Storm

Dan smirked at the panther-woman, said nothing, and talked instead to his people, who were unharmed, thank Crom.

They could find no keys.

Remembering charts in the T&T Player’s Guide, he grabbed the rusty bars, which felt cold and scaly in his hands. Gritting his teeth, he pulled with all his might. His muscles strained, and the metal bars spread open with a whining complaint.

On the other side of the bars, his people and the women against the wall cheered and started flooding out of the cell.

“Show off,” Nadia joked.

At last only the beautiful black panther princess remained within the cell. “Bend these bars farther apart, barbarian,” she demanded impatiently. “Princess Tatiana Kah’Dreel does not stoop.”

Dan turned his back on her and led the women through the cave, explaining that they were all welcome to join the caravan if they were willing to work hard and pull their weight.

“Work hard?” Tatiana’s voice came from behind him. Apparently, she had mustered the courage to stoop through the bars after all. She laughed haughtily at his back. “Ah, but you were not addressing me, of course. Even savages like you understand that manual labor is beneath the station of a princess.”

They searched the cave. Dan and Ula smashed open the trunks, finding mostly copper pieces and an odd collection of worthless trinkets.

A crappy loot haul if ever there was one.

“All right, ladies,” Dan said to the freed captives. “Let’s grab anything of value and carry it out of here. Gather these coins into whatever sacks you can find. Split them up so that no one has to carry too much, and bring them to me once we have reached camp.”

Everyone got to work filling sacks—with one notable exception, who stood watching the others with amused contempt.

“You too, Princess,” Dan said. “Start loading shit up for travel.”

“Surely, you jest,” Tatiana said, her golden eyes flashing haughtily. “I am daughter of Fazul K-”

“Yeah, yeah,” Dan said. “And I’m the son of Joe the Barbarian. Get busy working, or stay here in Orc Valley.”

The princess glared at him for a second, fists balled at her sides, and stomped the cave floor with a squeal of exasperation.

“Hey, barbarian,” Nadia called from the corridor. “Check it out.”

Nadia had discovered a hidden alcove that had been hiding the goat-riders’ real treasure: four magical potions and an oilcloth sack containing forty-three gemstones of various size, composition, and luster.

There was no way to guess at the properties of the potions, but Nadia evaluated the stones quickly, dropping them back into the sack one by one. “Mostly semi-precious,” she said. “Bloodstone, onyx, citrine. Worth about fifty gold pieces each. The amber and amethyst will be worth twice that, and look at these babies.” She displayed a handful of sparkling golden stones. “Top-notch topaz. Five hundred apiece.”

Then Nadia’s eyes went wide. She lifted two stones from the pile. One was dark green speckled in black, with swirls of neon green trapped within. The other was a translucent pink egg of a stone with a spidery white star at its center.
