That piggy boy didnt look dangerous, but when I saw him put down a man only by pointing at him I remembered that I can't judge people by looks. There were still many interesting people here, but I didnt want to get involved in a fight here, so I got up and went towards the exit. A man with toenails intercepted me and said:

"Sorry buddy, but I can't let'cha outta here until we leave. I'm sure ya know why."

I looked at him calmly.

"Yeah I know, what if someone alerted the authorities eh? Let me assure you, I have no intention of doing that"

I tried to walk past him but he pushed me back. I smiled at him and threw a few gold pieces at his feet. He quickly bent himself to pick them up and I walked past him. I should have left faster though, because the same guy stabbed me in the back as I went through the doorway.

"Ya thought ya could get away so easily did'ya? I'll show you what happens to those who annoy me"

I turned back to face the man and grabbed his arm before he could punch me. I looked at him angrily and broke his arm. He cried out in pain.

"Will you let me pass now?"

Almost instantly I found myself surrounded by the toenail gang. I quickly drew my sword. I had started what I wanted to avoid, what irony...
