Short and sweet. A term used to describe many of my contemporaries. That's what this job was. Back in the Ashenforge tavern, devoid of dwarven ghosts, we spotted the ephemeral presence of the vampire, Dr. Acula. I had a bottled sunlight on hand, just in case this took a nasty turn. Boophis had some garlic, in hopes that would protect him. None of that would matter, in the end. Red had some intuition to him, that much I could tell. He took the lead on this conversation, with everyone else finding a seat nearby to keep the target surrounded. Acula was quick on the verbal defensive, but after some spotty conversation we managed to calm him down and get a rapport going. We learned of the good doctor's degree in social studies, his intention of teaching local children these studies, and of his book club. It's vampire only, but that won't much matter now.
Turns out, Dr. Acula was the sort to always come up short on his tab. 100% short, as a matter of fact. Town wanted him gone so he didn't keep drinking the bar dry for free, so we cut a quick deal and got it done. The most fascinating part was actually the fact that I got paid over 40 gold for my service, despite the reason for us being asked to rid the city of him being that he'd racked up a 30 gold tab he wouldn't pay. Real salt of the earth, that Dr. Acula.
