The bookseller overhears your musings, and shows you his back room. Inside are aver 100 skeletons, all writing books with blinding speed.

You have purchased carts of straw, barrels of tallow and/or tar, a tinderbox, a magic bow and quiver of arrows, strips of cloth. You have spent 75,000 quatloonies.

No one is willing to buy Mary, and the Longsword and WHORES scare them too much

The barman tells you of the depredations of a set of strange creatures with multiple heads.

He thanks you for killing four of the foul creatures, and asks if you kept theur beaks.

He tells you of the town mayor's reward of 50,000 quatloonies a beak.

As you did not save the beaks, but fed them to WHORES, you cannot sell them anyway.

As you move towards him, the barman takes an axe with a blade bigger than an ox's head down, and twirls it like a drum major's baton.

Compliment the barman on his axe-twirling skill.

Flirt with the barman's daughter. Expose yourself to her and ask her if she wants a ride on your long schlong. :)

The barman's daughter smiles and says, "Only if you've got one hidden somewhere I can't see, that is rather unimpressive."

"Samantha, over there, can probably help you with your, shortcomings, for a fee."

WHORES and Samantha become engrossed in a deep conversation on biblical interpretations.

You are being ignored.

Engage in conversation with Sir Mary. Tell Sir Mary about the reward money and either suggest hunting more creatures for their beaks or continuing on with the quest.

Pocket any spare change skeleton minion may have gotten.

Ask around the bar for any additional information regarding the nest. Collect skeleton minion, WHORES and Sir Mary and prepare to leave town.

Say "Oh, yeah? Well aren't you smart. But who's the one raising the dead and commanding a wraithatine? That's right. Me. Ha!"

Then pelvic thrust at him.

Sir Mary pats you on the head and says that you'll be OK after a few years of maturation.

You leave the town and head back towards the monster's lair.

Compare powered armor to Sir Mary's armor.

Sir Mary wears enchanted plate armor. It seems roughly as strong as your power armor.
