When I arrived back in town there was some kind of event going on. I figured it was a political campaign or some local celebrity (the radio had turned some golden voiced ugly people into people that others wanted to see thus defeating the purpose of the radio). So I paid it no mind because why would I care about either of those things (especially political campaigns, no one ever consults me on what I think this country should do! Mostly because I don't have an opinion on that)? It was only when I went to Valrym's tavern and saw all the men dressed up like miners that I caught on it wasn't just some political/celebrity thing.
"What's going on some kind of new mine open up?" Valrym was rather busy serving all the dirty people so he didn't even answer my question like a jerk. I had to wait while he and his staff finally calmed things down, it took like an hour during which time I almost got bored enough to just ask one of the miners.
"No not a new mine, apparently some idiots found a treasure map with corresponding lore and they are all out on an island in the middle of the river trying to dig up some treasure vault." I sat there looking at Val disbelieving. Like I knew this day would come, but I was still upset I wasn't properly prepared for it.
"I missed it! I set this up years and years ago and I gods damned missed it!" Val looked at me like I was crazier than normal.
"You buried the treasure?"
"No, well yes, but no, but yes."
"I'm completely confused."
"I'll explain, lets just get out of earshot of these fools." And so it came to pass I explained to Valrym my great joke I had on the world that I completely missed out on because of random bullshit. I swear to gods the universe hates me!
