With regard to the dual-headed Desmond/Mondes... a very wide hooded cloak which would allow the cowl to be drawn up over both heads might be a simple solution to the immediate problem of... frightening people.

Somebody could go ahead and purchase such a cloak, and quite possibly make a substantial saving on surgeon's fees.

All that aside, it appears that not all is well in Ket. From this distance, you can all plainly see a burgeoning smoke pall forming over eastern end of the town.

Where there is smoke, there is quite often fire. This might indicate trouble...

This sounds like an idea Desmond would be interested in going along with, if someone would be willing to purchase said cloak...

"Hmmm...", muses Gustave, eyeing the smoke warily, "either they have over-prepared for my bath, or things are not well in Ket."

"Ulric - perhaps you and some comrades could see to the cart, a stroke of genius I might say, as usual", he adds, with a nod.

He scratches at his unkempt beard, "I will have a look around and see what is brewing in town. Perhaps I can also find a suitably concealing garment for our gifted hobbit."

He looks around at the assembled group but, finding none who is cleanest instead opts for the biggest, "Dieter - if you would join me? And anyone else? This will, I hope, be a short lived endevour."

He shoulders his pack and checks his blade, securing it beneath his cloak. "If we are not back before dark, take what measures you see fit."

Guntram turns to face Gustave, saying, "I'm sure you'll want to leave a fair number of guards for the treasure. I will help either here or in the city, as you think most helpful."

"Yes...", replies Gustave, pensively, "...indeed."

"Well", he continues, decisive now, "a strong chap like yourself would no doubt be useful to our otherwise endowed Ulric here in his quest for a cart I dare say."

"I'll accompany you to town," says Koch. The mercer's son is eager to return to Ket as quickly as he may in order to inform his family that he is not dead and gone, as they must, by now, suspect.

"As you wish," Guntram replies. "We'll need some to fetch the empty cart and some to Guard the treasure, unless those left behind can also carry it all or if the cart is drawn by mule or horse and only one need fetch it."

"Superb", says Gustave.

"Well, here is my lot" he says, dumping the long hefted sack of coins on the ground.
"We will be back soon...I hope", he finishes, and strolls off toward the gates.

"Absolutely," Dieter says, checking his sword.
