पीछे से वह जूते की कठोर ध्वनि सुन
Serklik of the Sootscale Clan ran down the alley. From behind he could hear the thud of boots and the labored breath of the Stagfell city watch. Serklik slowed to a walk as he reached the mouth of the alley and entered Baron Street. The noon sun stung his eyes and he raised his hand to block it out as much as he could. He saw a passing cart and lept onto the back.
समाज में किसी ने उसे काट लिया था बाहर
The kobold's day was off to a bad start. Someone in the guild had ratted him out, and so it had to be since he woke to the shouts of the city guard at his door. Serklik grabbed what he could, his sword and travel sack, and jumped out the back. But there was a guard waiting for him there. One watchman would, under normal circumstances, have been easy to deal with, but it was high noon and the sunlight dazzled his eyes. That was tough for Serklik and it took him a moment to recover, which gave the watchman plenty of time to call for help. So he ran and they chased.
गाड़ी एक रोकने के लिए लुढ़का और थोड़ा अजगर नीचे कूद गया
The cart rolled to a stop and the little kobold jumped down. The guards were long off his tail now so he made his way along the streets of Stagfell tucked in the shadows, slipping from one ally to the next until he reached the guild hall.
साइन आलसी आगे पीछे आ गया
Above the door to the Guild Hall a new and polished sign swung lazily back and forth. One side of the sign sported a spiffy painting of a human raising his sword up to the sky in one hand and shooting fire out of the other. "Heroes of Miras," it read.
समाज मास्टर सहायक
"There you are, Serklik. Where ya' been?" Derik asked--Derik was the guild master's assistant--"Hansel has been waiting for you all day."--Hansel was the guild master and a business man from Brevoy.
उसके पैर की उंगलियों पर बाउंस करने और एक दरिद्र उंगली उठाई
"Don't act innocent, Derik. I know what's going on here!" Serklik bounced up on his toes and pointed a scaly finger. "Serklik, Hero of Sootscales, will not be cheated!" The kobold's tail whipped back and forth, sweeping the straw off of the floorboards. "I see Guild Master now and have my cut or I keep all the gold for Sootscales!"
उस दरिद्र हरामी है
"Is that the scaly bastard, Derik?" A voice asked from the adjorning room. "Send him in already before he has a heart attack."
बैठिए
Hansel sat on the far side of the room, behind a desk. "Come in Ser," Hansel invited, "have a seat."
आपका कोई बैठा के लिए अच्छा सीटें
"Your seats no good for sitting. Why you send watch on Serklik?!" Serklik's tail still whipped back and forth. "I have my cut now or you no see gold."
बाहर एक छोटी थैली खींच लिया और उसे फेंक दिया
Hansel reached into a drawer and pulled out a small pouch and tossed it to Serklik. He caught it deftly and loosened the strings. A sickly sweet odor came out from the pouch.
मैं क्यों होगा क्योंकि तुम मेरे पास सोना है
"I didn't call the watch on you. Why would I since you have my gold, remember? Now hand over what you've collected so far."
कि समझ में बना था
Serklik thought about it for a moment; that did make sense. He unhooked the weighty pouch on his belt and set it on the desk. "I got from most. Those that didn't give, I took."
मैं तुम्हारे लिए एक दूसरे काम किया है.
"You've done well, Serklik." Hansel said and took a gold from the pouch, flipping it across the desk. "Now come back later tonight, I have another assignment for you."
