Episode Seven: Wise Innkeeper Piaras

While resting, Warwick gets lost in thought.

"How can I get magic? I have the Druid talent, which means I have Meteor Strike, Snap Cast, and Spell Walk, but I have no mana to use them with. I could try to get Stewart to teach me Meditation, but that's unlikely. Plus, I'll have to make it to Dunbarton. I can't take for granted AI algorithms now..."

He sighs, then continues mumbling to himself.

A lot of time passes, and Nora comes over to Warwick.

"Warwick, it's about 5:45,"

"Thanks," Warwick says as he gets up and stretches a bit.

"No problem. Maybe tonight you can try it out in one of our rooms,"

"Hopefully!"

Warwick walks off to the Healer's House.

As he enters, Dilys welcomes him with, "Welcome to the Healer's House."

"Glad to be here, I was wondering if you needed any help with anything?"

"I will in a few minutes. I just need to finish up a potion for Piaras,"

"That's fine, I'll wait here so I can deliver it for you."

"That's very sweet, I'll be done shortly."

Dilys goes back to working on the potion at her desk, and Warwick rests while waiting.

A few minutes pass by.

"Finished," Dilys says, handing the potion to Warwick.

"Thanks, I'll be back in a jiffy," Warwick says, as he walks out of the Healer's House.

On his way to the innkeeper, he passes Nora cleaning up.

"Hey, I don't believe I got your name," Nora states in his passing.

"Sorry Nora, it's Warwick. I'm in a bit of a hurry with a job right now," Warwick responds, walking into the inn.

As soon as Warwick walks in he freezes, seeing his own character standing in the corner.

"Are you just going to stand there too?" the innkeeper asks.

"Sorry, is that normal?"

"Surprisingly, yes. Normally they only do it for a few hours. Nice to meet you, by the way, I'm Piaras."

"I'm Warwick. It's a pleasure to meet you as well. I have a delivery from Dilys."

"Ah, my potion. Thank you so much. I have the payment here." Piaras says, placing a bag of coins on the desk.

Warwick places the potion on the desk.

"Now how do I know you'll deliver this coin safely?"

"Because Warwick over there is going to give me 150,000 gold as well as some other stuff," Warwick informs, pointing at the guy standing still in the other room.

"What are you up to, pray tell."

"Currently, thriving in this town on honesty. Tell me what's in that potion, and I'll explain everything as long as it stays confidential."

"Don't worry about it."

"Fine then don't worry about it," Warwick says, grabbing the bag of coins, and turning towards the door.

"Tell me this honestly then. Where do you stand with Tir Chonaill?"

"This is my favorite town in the world, and is very dear to me, as are the people here. As long as the Goddess doth not forsake me, I shall side with the Goddess Morrighan."

With that, Warwick leaves the inn.
