[pnpgm] Kiet hears the news

[dasandersx at comcast.net]

           "My man who watched your ship reported to my men that no one 
        came close to the ship at all.  With Major Lai distracted by 
        the celebration coming up I doubt he would be interested in 
        doing real police work.  Oh that reminds me." He looks back 
        at Z'leyra. "Too bad you did end up paying.  Seems one of the 
        pirates was worth 4 full gold coins.  He was wanted by a noble 
        in the north for killing his wife.  But the interesting thing 
        is Major Lai reports the pirate stole a large ruby worth at least 
        30-40 gold.  He broke late last night and told where he hid it. 
        So while you lost that reward the distraction and bonus to 
        him was good for him.  He thanks you for it." 




When Kiet hears this news he curses out loud.  34-44 gold coin gone to waste!!!  That is a tremendous sum to him, even though he has still more.  Kiet was born into humble circumstances, and this lost opportunity for gain is simply too much for him to maintain much control. 



"I will state here and now, whether you people like it or not..." Kiet says with voice slightly wavering in an attempt at control and a grim demeanor on his face, "...that if we have prisoners ever again, I intend to rigorously question them, one way or another! "
