You're sitting in the inn, The Three Kings, in the city of Ferinox. Your friend, Darikinth, is looking around for more information about the fires around the city, and he should be back soon. That's exactly what you think as he walks through the room. "Any luck sifting through the gossip in the inn?" he asks.

I slip another coin to the bartender, paying for my drinks. "Nope. Most are too drunk to even talk straight, and the rest are bigots against females." I say, with a slight slur. |

"Well, I heard some rumors on the streets about the legends of the Elemental Kings. Sure, it may be a little far-fetched, but at least it isn't from a bunch of drunkards!" Darikinth says, before turning to the bartender, a Dwarven girl with long blonde hair tied back, and saying "Some mead, please."

I sigh, and give a dismissive gesture. "Optimists." I mutter. |

Darikinth sips his mead, and says "There's always some truth to all rumors. Perhaps it really is magic after all. Wouldn't be - " He's then cut off by a man running into the inn and shouting "There's a fire!"

I stumble off my stool, and go outside and look. |

There's a large fire burning everything. In the distance, you see some villagers coming with buckets of water.

The villagers come and put out the fire. "So apparently it's not magical..." Darikinth begins, trailing off as the flames burst back to life.

The fire continues to burn, and it kills one of the villagers who tried to put it out. "We have to do something!" Darikinth says.

Once we're in the empty, dark alley, I turn around. I glance behind him if there's anyone behind him. I'm about to do something that is not gonna be good for the cops, but it'll be good for the people. |

There's nobody, aside from him.

"Alright. That fire" Stab a knife in his chest. Check his body, and stow his body behind something. Walk away. |

There's nothing to stow Darikinth's body behind. It's an empty alleyway.

Stick his body in the shadows. Does he have anything on him? |

No, you were holding all their money. All he has is an old sword.

Pick it up, and clip it to my belt.
Screw morality. Go back to the inn place thingy. |

No, the fire's out. Most of the people in the area are dead, some had buildings collapse on them and are still dying.

Loot the dead ones, and kill anyone who are nearly dead, and I won't get arrested for it. In other words, fluck morals. |

Some guards walk by as you're looting the dead, probably to collect the bodies.
