[20.5] FOOLS' EBONY V<br />

(Tap-tap at the door. Adventurer jumps, startled) (Snore from Ortho)<br />

ADVENTURER: Who's there? I'm coming!<br />

(Opens door - carefully) (Enter CONTESSA)<br />

ADVENTURER: Er, well ... er ... Come In! Please.<br />

(<strong>The</strong> Adventuer steps back, tripping over his trousers around his ankles ...)<br />

CONTESSA: So sorry to surprise you, but I thought that we might find something in common<br />

... Oh! You poor man, you have a wound! Here, let me fix that bandage ... it looks very fresh.<br />

(Fixing bandage, properly this time)<br />

ADVENTURER: Well, I ... just opened it up again. Evening exercises, calisthenics, so on...<br />

CONTESSA: How did you get this cut - if you do not mind me asking?<br />

ADVENTURER: No, not at all. I was ... in a fight, earlier. <strong>The</strong>se three crazy people jumped<br />

me.<br />

CONTESSA: Really? This cloth looks like part of a Mage's robe.<br />

ADVENTURER: Well, yes, two of them were Mages.<br />

CONTESSA: Oh My! You must have been very good, to defeat them.<br />

ADVENTURER: Oh, ah, well, I've been in one or two fights. Not to be rude, but who are<br />

you?<br />

CONTESSA: Oh, I am so sorry, I quite forgot the proper introductions. I am the Contessa<br />

Aveet Videspreed -- call me Ave. From the Court at Daggerfall.<br />

ADVENTURER (aside): By Oblivion, what now?<br />

CONTESSA: Here, help me off with this robe, these inn rooms are always ... so hot. And let<br />

me check that bandage again, poor man. Ooh, you are wearing an ebony belt of stamina, and<br />

bracers of strength. Ooh, a bracelet of endurance. This is my lucky night.<br />

ADVENTURER (aside): Help.<br />

CONTESSA: Here, let me help you off with that old shirt - got to check you for any more<br />

cuts - they can go bad so easily, you know.<br />

ADVENTURER (aside): Well, its not the Armorers this time. Maybe my luck has turned.<br />

CONTESSA: Well, everything seems all right...very all right, in fact...<br />

ADVENTURER: Er...well, Ave - tell me about ... er ... yourself.<br />
