Prologue: The Jolly Wanderer

Korrin looks up at Melianne as he continues searching the body. As he looks over at Shedinn and winks, he says.

"Half!"

Looks like the best way to win a battle is with aggressive negotiations.
he smile, and gives a bow to the new emporer

Kruux watches Korrin search the body of the fallen emporer. Even though the frog people have little facial expression you can clearly see that Kruux is nervous.
*Croax* Yes, yes. I see you take the reward I wanted to *Croax* give you anyway. A small gift because *Croax* you ended the tyranny of Cuurtinoax XVII.

Korrin finds the following things on the body of the dead ruler:

-A dagger+1
-A collection of various trinkets and amulets, worth 250gp
-A pouch of gold dust, worth 25gp

"Did anyone else... no? Never mind." Annika seems to relax, granted a sense of calm by the knowledge that the greater plan is still in motion and hasn't been derailed by recent events.

"Come. We've shown these folk how the Four Cities deal with tyranny and threats, but we must also demonstrate that we are reasonable and civilised when treated with hospitality and respect. Kruux, may you be a wiser and more compassionate ruler than your predecessor, whose greed and arrogance led to his downfall. And let there be peace between our peoples."

Oh yes... *Croax* peace and prosperity. We... we will have both *Croax* Kruux says and then seems to issue a few commands in froggish (?)
A few frog people hurry away and come back with wicker baskets full of dried worms and green cubes as well as some more frog people.
Some more come back with the crew from The Jolly Wanderer as well as some baskets full of clothes and trinkets, undoubtetly taken from the crew when the ship sank.

Kruux gestures you all to go to the area in front of the palace. Kruux forever thankful for bringing peace and prosperity. I *Croax* understand you very busy and have to leave so here is many food and scouts who *Croax* will safely lead you to the dry land to the south. Farewell you erm... *Croax* heroes! Yes heroes!
Kruux makes a gesture with its hand, sits down atop the throne and most of the frog people disperse except for three of them carrying the baskets with food and clothes, and two who are probably your scouts.
The remaing frog look at you in a way that's similiar to a dog who wants you to follow it...
