Something is Definately Missing

"Nidget." We were setting up on top of the Sherriff's office, because I couldn't talk the two idiots out of defending the town of one and leaving them while appealing is not exactly my style.

"For the last time Trezlan, no you can't use magic, especially not your freaky death magic, I don't want to escape one bounty to die to another one because you can't control yourself." Yes this argument played itself out, no I'm not writing it down, it still burns me!  Stupid jerks, all "we can't kill the townsman so you can use your magic and make this way easier than it turned out to be" I tell you Nidget and Andre hate my magic, right up until they need it.

"Noted and I again am doing this under protest, do you notice something missing in this town?"

"Other than people?" Nidget again stating the obvious but not the obvious I was going for.

"Rifles, we didn't bring enough rifles." Andre being the most able in combat stating the other obvious thing, but again not what I was going for.

"Right Trezlan you should have brought more than one rifle."

"I only have two hands, what would I need another rifle for? But no its not our lack of rifles." We had two, mine which was on my horse that I didn't even set up, but Hanlon had seen fit to have on there just in case, and Andre had another, because again the dude lives for combat.  Nidget was stuck with his crossbow and a small pistol, the pistol was hilarious because it was meant for children to go hunting with their fathers, god I love shorties.

"Ok Trezlan what are you trying to get at, clearly I'm not going to guess it."

"Where's the bank?"

"What?" Both of them said it at once, I don't think it dawned on them yet.

"You were accused of robbing the Brownwater bank, THERE IS NO BANK!"

"Wow I didn't even think about that."

"Yeah me either."

"OF COURSE YOU GUYS DIDN'T! See now we can leave, clearly we were set up and this is not our fight, so lets just..." I started to make my way to the ladder we had climbed to get on the roof when Nidget and Andre did not move.

"No we can't leave there is a fight coming and we're going to finish it." Andre of course being someone who worships conflict would not budge, and Nidget went along with him.  I could have just left I realize, but then again there were bandits coming to town and I didn't necessarily want to meet them on the road and get killed just because I'M THE ONLY SMART PERSON IN THIS GROUP OF IDIOTS!
