With your friend's wife nice and bred, what next?
Time for work
As you stepped out the door of your friend's home, fully clothed now and ready to enjoy your ever routine based lifestyle, you noticed things had felt different. People seemed to be rushing about, money was flowing through this little town of yours. The market place swarmed with action, buying and selling of luxury goods. Silk, treats, carpets, and anything else meant to keep someone in a state of comfort... something you never could afford. Which meant that someone with coin to spend was stopping by or had settled in.
You stopped one of the other guys for a moment. You never did catch this man's name, and honestly he wasn't very public anyways. "Hell's going on? Where did everyone get all that money?"
"You haven't heard? A wealthy noble from the capital city has come all the way here to take up residence! He is buying up all the goods he can here. Going to have a feast I've been told." The man replied.
"Must have been a good reason to travel so far to stop by a village." You'd say. "Weeks of travel just to spend money? I think there is more to this story than our noble friend is letting on."
"I can take you there if you want. Doubt you'll get in, though. Place is like an auction house, paying to get inside and it goes to the highest bidder."
