Tale 52 told by Taniwha on 28.11.2000
Unreliable
A dust-covered, skinny dwarf came staggering into the bar a few days back.
It was really wierd, the first "skinny" dwarf I've ever seen ...
Anyway, he was seriously worried about something, but after I poured
a few beers down his throat he told me the problem.
It seems he was a cleric of Raisa, and had been on a special mission
for Taniwha. He was supposed to be bringing something back to town, but
he had lost it. Not only was he going to be in trouble when Raisa found
out he was doing favors for other Demi-gods, but Taniwha was going to be
really annoyed when he found out that it was lost.
"He told me not to stop anywhere", sobbed the poor little chap, "but
the place looked so comfortable, and I was sooo tired ..."
A few drinks later and he muttered something about going back to
the mountains to look for it before he annoyed any more Gods, and off
he went.
You almost had to feel sorry for him...almost.
