It was back when i had my own pub in Olantea. It was a quiet and peaceful day, but suddenly Klepto Jimmy rushed in carrying a huge and dangerous weapon, shut the door and found the best place to hide. 10 seconds later the door was smashed open, and Aiken rushed in. 'THAT WAS STUPID JIMMY. THIS TIME YOU CAN'T ESCAPE!' Aiken yelled with a deep red look on his face. Aiken starts searching for Jimmy, but fails to find him. 'DAMN, Qrok, help me find this bastard. He stole my precious headbanger.', Aiken shouted. Still having a deep red look on his face. 'You got a headbanger Aiken? From where did you get that ?' I asked with curiosity. 'Uhm, I stole it from the corpse of.. THAT DOESN'T MATTER! Now help me kill the bastard!', he yelled. Aiken have always been such a tempered little dwarf, and now the colour of his head became even more red. I guess that if I poked him in the ribs, smoke would start rising from his ears. 'Now, calm down Aiken, have a beer. It's free', I said. Aiken grabbed the beer, drank it all, and gave me back the bottle without looking at me. BURP! 'Excuse me', I said, but Aiken was only grumbling. The worst thing you could do now was tease Aiken. But destiny made it happen! The local bully looks in at the door (which is *grumble* smashed) and shouts: 'Haha, there the little weakling Aiken is. I bet my grandmother could beat him up!'. I didn't know Aiken could run this fast. With a scream he ran into the bully and smashed his head against the belly of the bully. Oh mine! I haven't seen the bully with such an expression in his head before. Well, it didn't take long before they were shouting and wrestling. I was about to yell 'WATCH IT!' as the bully gave Aiken an uppercut and massacred him into small fragments. Very wounded Aiken wimpied away, and i didn't see him more that day. The bully came in with a victorious look in his face. 'Give me a beer for free' he shouted. 'You'll have to pay....', but i didn't reach to say anything else before he put his hand around my neck and squee- zed. With a whispering sound i told him that of course he could have a beer for free. Anytime. I gave him a beer which he drank in a hurry. Then he smashed the bottle on the ground and left laughing. Man, i felt like a jerk. I had almost forgot about Jimmy when he showed up, carrying this enormous weapon. He looked around and asked if Aiken had left. 'Yeah, i guess he got other things to worry about right now! But tell me what happened', i said. In fact I was very curious now. 'Give me a beer first, and put it on the credit list' he said. I wondered when i would go bankrupt here. Looks like I have to give away everything for free. But my curiosity was too big, and I gave him a beer. Well, this is the story: I got a customer that would pay a large sum if I could get him an awesome weapon. I think the name was Armitage or something like that. I told him to come back in about an hour and then he could have the weapon. I will have to meet him in about half an hour from now. Well, from where could I get such a weapon. I started sneaking around in the city of Olantea, when fighting was heard. It was Aiken, Baldrick and Zifnab beating on one of the guards. I knew already knew Aiken because I stole a large diamond from him some weeks ago, and he didn't even notice. They killed the guard and Zifnab took the loot. After that they split up, and I followed Aiken. Suddenly Aiken stopped looking at something on the street. It looked like the corpse of Wize, but I wasn't sure. Then the laughter of Aiken was heard and and he lifted a headbanger high up in the air. We were suddenly interrupted as someone entered the pub. Jimmy ran away and hid underneath the counter. It's was one of these irritating local beggars. I knew this one very well. The beggar kissed my feets and asked for a beer. I gave him one (it was watered, and i always give that to the beggars, but they doesn't know that :). The beggar thanked me graciously and left again. Jimmys head popped up about the counter and looked around. Then he waved me over and said he would rather talk there than by one of my chairs. He started to talk again. Well, Aiken lifted the headbanger high above his head, and hurried away. I followed him again, and Aiken didn't stop until a girl said: 'hi handsome'. Aiken smiled at the girl and tried to look cool (i would say he failed miserably). I sneaked in on Aiken while he was talking about the huge dragons he had been fighting. The girl was a very good friend of mine and helped me in several occasions. Aiken put the headbanger on the ground and started to do weird things with his arms. Like he was showing the size of the dragon. I though, that if he steals a headbanger from a dead man, I can as well take it from him. I grabbed the headbanger and shouted victorious:'Stole your headbanger sucker. Easy comes, easy goes!'. I quickly ran away, but Aiken followed me. I could run a bit faster than him, and as I was far away I went into this pub. I didn't think he saw me, but he must have caught a glimpse while i entered. Again we was interrupted, and this time it was Priapus who came in. 'How is it going', he said, 'are you making any money ?' 'Not really.', I answered, 'I'm almost bankrupt!'. Priapus grins. Suddenly a long, horrifying scream is heard from far away, it sounds like Aiken. 'Oh no' I said, thinking of the incident earlier that day. But Priapus had already left. I wondered where he went without saying so. Jimmy started cheering and danced, and continued. Well, I guess you know the rest of the story now, and soon i'll have to find Armitage. 'Soon somebody will kill you', I answered as Jimmy left. Mmm, peace again I thought as I noticed that some of my most expensive bottles was missing. 'JIMMY, COME BACK HERE YOU UGLY THIEF' I shouted, but too late, he was already gone. Guess he never stop stealing other people properties. -Qrok who like stories and thinks the mud need a history.
