For the Map Group: After taking down the assassin, morale is teetering and everyone is weary. At least you've finally reached the village, which doesn't look at all how you might have imagined it: everything is bright and tidy, and the smoke you'd seen from afar had been nothing more than the bakery's chimney. As you enter the town, you notice there are people walking around, seemingly oblivious to the carnage in the canyon.

For the Compass Group: You're tired of walking. There's a long stretch of orc and corpse-free land, and it would be a perfect spot to camp. After the beating you endured in the caves, there's no way you could keep going without taking a break.

It has fruit in it and it's not even candied.

[um why? aren't pastries supposed to be delicious and not wholesome]

[tosses it back in the basket and wipes crumbs off his hands. that's not actually why he was inspecting it but it'll do for improv]

How you feeling?

[idontknowthepassword]

[ the sound of his heart breaking ]

[dices]

[ watches him toss it in the basket and looks around. bakery. gosh, he misses some good ol' chinese food and not bread.

or meat he could go for that too ]

I've been better. [ glances at baker. what. ] At least he didn't hit anything vital.

[mercyless]

[ i followed nick i hope you don't mind. ]

[ eyes the baker suspiciously. ]

[sawedoff]

[yeah he's with michonne on this]

You're a lucky son of a bitch, you know that? Just keep an eye on it. Let me know if anything weird starts happening.

[you know. anything...weird.]

[leans a little to the left while he's talking to nick to kind of squint at the baker]

[mercyless]

[ picks up a bread and slaps it on the counter. ]

We'll take this.

[dices]

Anything weird? [ like

everything?

he's pretty sure the baker is too intense about this whole deal too but he's being you know. discreet. ] All right.

[ tips basket slightly and lets the muffin roll out

to the floor ]

[sawedoff]

[he's having one of those zoom on eyes stare offs with weird baker for a second]

--Yeah. Weird.

You know, oozing or. Pus. Maggots. If you start coughing up needles. That kind of thing.

[run of the mill post-black magic surgery checkup business. obviously.]

[idontknowthepassword]

Free, for you folk.

[mercyless]

[ i don't trust your sorry ass. free? ]

Nothing's free.

[idontknowthepassword]

T-the bread, I mean. Not the muffins.

[idontknowthepassword]

Only the bread that's free.

[mercyless]

...

[ why the muffins. ]

[dices]

You'll probably see me vomiting needles if I do get to that stage.

[ turns around to watch the baker and michonne ]

[sawedoff]

Speaking of weird.

[idontknowthepassword]

M-my bread isn't very good, you see. I keep trying at it, hoping it'll be better. That's why it's free.

[mercyless]

Then throw it away.

[ making the customers see it will drag down the whole business. don't you know anything? ]

[dices]

[ arches eyebrows to dean and tilts over to the stuttery baker

besides the still people, nobody ever gave anything for free and don't people usually. hate their guts? ]

[sawedoff]

Okay Robert Hansen, why don't you give us a minute over here?

[step off]

[scantilyclad]

Why, I thought you would be eating.

[dices]

I guess not yet.

[ follows dean ]

[cabineyes]

[ slides in after morrigan. ]

So kind of you to wait for us.

[sawedoff]

[looks between hook and morrigan]

[he looks like he just had his balls busted so he's not going to say anything, but he approves.]

This place seem kind of off to you? I mean aside from creepy the baker.

[pokes a muffin]

[mercyless]

Free bread.

[ free stuff is always suspicious. ]

[dices]

[ glances

free bread isn't creepy. ]

For a place that keeps trying to kill us, this guy is being nice and offering bread. Sounds-- off.
