Tarin-Gazin the dwarf and Redwick the half-dwarf were sitting in a bar in
the more dispreputable part of town. It wasn't what you'd call a pleasant
place, but it was a decent place for hiding, and that was just what they
needed after their daring escape from the madhouse. It had been quite and
adventure getting out of there in one piece, but sadly, the author of
this episode is just going to skip right past it and get down to
business. Anyway, while the bar was dirty, dark, musty and filled with
unpleasant characters, the beer wasn't half bad, and the two escapees had
a few to drink while discussing the previously mentioned business.
"I'm not sure I heard you right when you offered to spring me from the madhouse, did you say that you wanted help in rescuing a princess?" "Princess Ice-Castle, yes" replied Redwick, pulling a few specks of dirt from his dark red hair and equally dark red beard. "So she's not in a castle made of ice, but..." "Look, it's perectly simple. Queen Castle the Eight of Uronia, also known as the "Castle city", decided that an alliance with the Ice Kingdom of the north would most easily be attained through a royal marriage, and therefore she married King Frostmound the Third, and gained the honorary title of Queen Ice. The daughter produced from the marriage is therefore Princess Ice-Castle the First." "Right..." said Tarin-Gazin. "And this princess is kidnapped by..." "The Gold-Pressed Monkeys." "Those yeah, and they are...?" "It's not important. At least not right now. You gave your word to help me, and we must get going soon." "Right then, we'll just finish these beers, and then we'll... Actually, what are we going to do next?"
