Koru's mood got lifted when he heard the Sheriff announce the bounty for the goblins. He had heard about the attacks from the merchants in the street but he didn't know that the situation was that bad.
"Good for me though, 10 gp per goblin should last me a while," he mused while scratching his beard.
The announcement was verily a godsend: he had just been kicked out of the monastery where he had been staying due to his failure to pay the rent. Koru's ears still burned red at the humiliation of the monastery door getting slammed on his face as he was shooed away by the lady owner. She had been fed up with Koru's poverty and constantly nagged him to get some income and pay the rent. For the first part, Koru was partially successful, scrounging around some gold pieces by running errands for the townsfolk and doing some menial work in the fields. What broke the proverbial camel's back, however, was Koru buying a shortbow instead of saving the money for the rent. This so incensed the owner when she learned of the purchase, that she kicked him out on the spot.
"Damn woman, what does she know about the passions of men?" Koru muttered under his breath as he made his way to the beckoning sheriff. "So where do I sign up, Mr. Hemlock?"
hmm misogynist in the party ... this would be interesting ..
