"Good point." said Astra. "It's probably a better idea to leave, hire some
backup, get supplies and come back." Velus turned his head. Guessing correctly, Astra said "Don't worry, there's a bank about ten miles down the road, in a royalty-only dimension. I can access it without worrying about my cat ears and get enough money to hire brigands." "That's a powerful bit of magic." said Fred. "Certainly anyone able to create a royalty-only dimension could help us out." "I wish." said Astra. "It's money only and then only once a month. They are absolutely nuetral in all things...which means my cat...ears are nothing to them. They would defend themselves but not help." Fred looked away. "If your family ... will disown you, maybe, because of the ears, won't the bank stop working for you?" "Once royalty, always royalty to them." said Astra. "Besides, my inheritance is inevitable, no matter what happens with my family and the bank enjoys the account. Too bad I can't access it all for five more years...we could hire an army." Fred gave a puzzled look this time. "My parents invested heavily in the printing industry, we financed the first action-comics scrolls." The group went off to exit the caverns.
