Duke gets revenge...


Peasant to Rich

After spotting this snail, I hesitate to go to him.Will he laugh at me because I'm a peasant?Surely not, he looks nice.Fine, I'll just do it.I start to slide up, but now he's coming towards me!He reaches me.

"Hello, how ya doing?" He asks.

"Just fine, uh, a coin for an ol' beggar?" I reply.

Dang it!I have just about done it!A coin for an ol' beggar?

"Why?" He asks me.

"Because I can't afford food...or ale!Ale Ale!" I frown."Its's all that mean Clarkson's fault."

"Who's Clarkson?" The snail asks.

Yes!I might have a shot at asking him.

"He's a bully at the Inn.Do you think you could get revenge on him for me?" I ask.

"Okay!" He replies. "What am I doing?"

"Your gonna pour this brown shell potion in his mug, and he'll get his shell ruined!" I say in a evil voice.

"What time?" He asks.

So many questions!Just do it!

"He's normally there at nine, go check the market village clock."

"Okay." He replies back.

Then he's off.What a question asker!And he's not one for talk.I almost forgot!What's his name?Ah, I'll do that later.I can't wait for this reveal...I wait a couple hours, and eventually he's back.

"Did you do it yet?" I ask him welcomingly.

"Yes", he says.

"Awesome!" I say."Here's some money I got when I pick pocketed Clarkson!" I hesitantly hand the snail the money.

That money was supposed to be my spending money for the week.But whatever, he helped me.Then he slides away.I forgot again!Dang, I'll never know his name.Hopefully we meet again soon.Now I'm headed to Charles to have a little celebration.Once I get there, Charles isn't in the area.I venture further to the West Forest, only to see Charles.For once, I notice his scraggly beard and tired old face.He wields a sword, and is wearing his usual top hat.It's always been like this, but I haven't really taken time to notice it.I approach him to say hello, but then the unexpected happens.

"BURGADINGLE!GAH BLAGISON FLOO!" He shouts at me.

This can't be good.
