Grapper and Hector look around. They're not in the golden cavern, but there's still a lot of treasure here.
"Should we take some of it?" Hector asks.
"No, stealing is wrong." Grapper slides a pile of oboloi over a few feet, then pockets them. They go to the door and open it a little to peek out. There are a bunch of ruffians standing around looking rough. "We will have to fight our way out."
Grapper and Hector rush out into the hallway. One of the ruffians yells, "Help, help, it is Grapper!" but they are not ready for an attack from behind and they are soon dead.
Grapper says, "We best get out of here before reinforcements come." They run out of the building and find themselves in the Cademia market.
"We need to blend with the crowd," Grapper says. "Let's buy some food from the market." Grapper and Hector walk up to one of the food stands.
Hector says, "One cheese, please," and Grapper pays the shop-keeper with some not-stolen money. She hands Hector the cheese but as he is about to walk away Grapper stops him.
"Hector, that's not cheese, that's a bomb!"
