A mixed reaction comes from the crowd as the story concludes.

"He left the idol, the gold?" a woman scoffs as she shakes her head and takes a sip of her ale.

"He did it for his friend," another explains as they softly puff on a wooden pipe.

Fredrick put up his hands, "Exactly! The point is that his friendship is worth more than the possibility of losing his wealth."

The woman scrunches her face, "Is this guy, Genji, really worth saving? He was the one that got them into this mess."

You sit back and think about your friends. What would you have done if you were Kaemal? Would you have put yourself at risk to save them or would you have ridden off into the sunset?

"No matter," the woman who protested said finally. "Enough stories about common folk. How about we get a story about a leader who turned to evil?"

A collective excitement rolls through the group as they settle in for another tale.
