Right as I got done talking, alittle girlthat looked like she was six or seven ran up to us.Shethengrabbed ontoAndrews jacketand started tugging on it togethis attention.Andrewturned to look at thegirlandthencrouched andsmiled,thensaid "Hi my namesAndrew, and what can Ihelpyouwith today" thelittle girlsmiledandthenbeganspeakingrapidly, asking questions "areyoua giant.I heard Giants come from the dungeon during the middle of the night to take awaybadkids.My dadsaystheydon''tdothat.Hesaystheyjustsleep in the dungeon, and nobody''s allowed totouchthem becausetheygotbig guards that arescary.He alsosaidGiants alwayssleepinside of the artifacts a year not asleep,sodid.Areyoua giant ordidyouwake up and walk out?


    "Whoa, slow down there.I''m not a giant.I''mjustfromoutof town.Yousaidsomething about adungeon, do know where anydungeonsare?"Thegirl got more excited andsaid"thatbig metal tower that shoots fireoutof it is thedungeon, but if you''re fromoutof town.Doesthat mean there is Giants that live outside the town?"Andrewstarted to answer, but Stevecutthem off "yeahAndrews a big giant.He just doesn''t like to brag about it.You said there were sleepinggiantsin the dungeon is anybody tried togetthem out?"Thelittle girlwas jumping in place now andsaid:"yeah,butthat''s when the big metal golem shows up and scare everybody off so nobody''s gotten agiantout yet, butIgottagotellmylittle brotherthatImet agiantgoodbye."


    Thelittle girlthenturnedaroundandthenblew off to theend ofthe street.No, seriously.She blew off to theend ofthe street like flying.There was alargegust of air thatpushedher forward.Thenshe landed at theend ofthe street like nothing happened.A woman came walking up the street next to us and said "sorry about my daughter.Shejustbecame a wind mage earlier this month.Unfortunately, the spellshelearned waswindsprint.Nowshekeepsrunning offand talking to strangers and thenrunning awayagain,"the mother continued walking down the street after her daughter.She was also carrying some groceries.


    I began to speak "so theycallone of our ships a dungeon and apparently itstillhas some security bots.If what the little girl it said was true" I sighed and continued "okay, here''s the plan.Andrew Stephenyou''re both going to the market to figure outhowmuchthings are worth, an idea ofhowtheir currency works.Youboth should have radios in your backpack, Andrew, Igaveyoua set of 20 throwing knives and tengoldcoins.Iwantyouto try andgetagoodprice for the throwing knives, but thegoldcoins are for emergencies only.We don''t know if that''s enoughgoldto buy a kingdom or a sandwich So be careful with it.Steve, I put four folding knives and four decorated daggers in yours.The daggers and knives arealsofor trade,sellthem toseewhat we can get."

    Andrewgivesa suggestion."if they have a dungeon here.Theyprobablyhave a shop or an adventure''s guild right outside of it. You canprobablyget some good information from them,"Ithen replied with,"good idea,Carol and I willseewhatbuildings are outside the dungeon andseewhatinformation we can find.Iwasgoingtohave, andgo inbut now thatIknow their security bots inside, Idon''t think that''s a good idea right now, at least not until we get better weapons."


    Steve then said."number one rule aboutD&Ddon''t split the party,but." Stevethen stopped talking and stared into space.Itriedto askif he was okay "Steve?Steve?Areyouokayyouseem likeyoufrozeuptheir man?" Stevethenlooked back atmeandsaid:"yeah,Ijustfound outIcan make a party one second, letmesendyouallinvites."Caroland Andrew bothfrozeupat the same time.Thentheymoved their hand in front of their face and saidtheyaccepted theinvites.Steve wasnowlooking confused andthensaid. "that''s weird.I can''t seem to send Cray aninviteto theparty.It keepssaying that he''snot a viablepartymember.
