Temporary Inanity

Teb-xu, the bandit assigned to escort Lord Fred to the authorities, hated his life. It basically sucked, and this was the most fun he had experienced in a long time. An actual Allarian nobleman, and in his custody. Teb-xu had exactly zero intent on taking Fred to the authorities, he had a much more cunning plan.

"Night night," he said, knocking Lord Fred out with the pommel of his sword. He then loaded him into a cart and took him to his modest hut on the outskirts of town. He drug Lord Fred inside, and chained him up using the heavy manacles he was saving for just such an occasion.

Settling down down to his dinner of bread and thin broth, with watery ale, "you are going to be my ticket out of this dump, you are," he said cheerfully, slurping his broth.

The next morning dawned painfully for Lord Fred, who remembered a sharp pain in the head after he was supposed to have been delivered to the authorities. He awakened on some foul smelling straw, manacled to a wooden board placed on the ground. A filthy bandit missing most of his teeth was sitting near him, grinning. "Mornin, there, Fewta. That's gutterspeak for slave, don't ya know. Speaking of slave, I am going to sell you as one."

1. Realizing that the board is not attached to anything, Lord Fred used it and his manacles as a weapon. He escaped!
2. Lord Fred sized up the situation and heard the bandit out before taking action.
