>[give 3IP to Mayor]
** Not possible. **
>And good luck with the Rook, hey, maybe we can give you a hand with that?
** Nice idea but not necessary. **
>Sami, please don't try to complete the blood contract. Offer the statue of Faustia and the gold or whatever and finish this.
Sami: The statue isn't made of real gold, guys.
>Do we know where the Piper is? Is getting to him as easy as walking the road and knocking on his door?
Sami: I *know* where the Piper is, and I'll never forget it. He'll be where I killed him.
>I bet those golems, or their parts, sell real well if the Mayor can hold them back.
Sami: Oh probably except for the fact that there's no way in hell I can move them.
>Yeah, first, ask him where the rook's control device is. We may be able to use it. Secondly... uh, the Piper is dead. Does bringing the coins to his corpse still work?
Sami: Do you know where the rook's control device is?
The mayor flickers and nods.
The Mayor:The vault is just a little further. It's locked up, and I don't know if you'll be able to open it, but the Siren's Axe is supposed to control the golem. It looks like some sort of... angry guitar.
Sami: ... so I control the rook by playing the guitar?
The Mayor:That's what we thought, but we could never get it to work.
>Does bringing the coins to his corpse still work?
Sami: I'm pretty sure it will.
Sami removes the flute from her pack. The mayor wisps around her with interest.
The Mayor:... is that...
Sami nods.
Sami: I'm not as innocent as you think, Mr. Mayor. I killed the Piper, and stole his things and told no one about it. I'm sorry.
The Mayor:... I don't understand. You were just a little girl. The Piper was found ripped to shreds.
Sami: I'd rather not discuss it.
Sami plays the flute. Like a late riser struggling out of bed, with a creak and a groan the vault opens before her.
Sami: ... I don't suppose you know if there's anything left to scavenge in the town? Like where I could get some food? I gave half my rations to the priest.
The Mayor:... Priest? I... don't remember a priest. But I don't know anything that happens outside this place. Your best bet would be the merchant's guild for supplies; it had the sturdiest locks. Be careful Sami, taking anything from this town enrages the curse.
Sami stows the gold in her pack and approaches the Siren's Axe. It is stored in the center of the otherwise empty vault (save for the remains of smashed objects) on a simple wooden table. Despite everything else being coated in a thick layer of dust, the guitar looks pristine. As Sami picks it up, it flickers with power you can see, and while Sami can't see it you can tell she is aware of something magical about the instrument.
Too bad she doesn't play guitar.
