Searching for Monks (03/25/2007)

From the writing of Nalla Mann --Bartender of the Bloody Nall Tavern

They slowly made their way up the footpath that lead into the mountains. The Monks were mysterious. They were feared because they choose to live at the far end of the the unknown regions. Little was known about them--when on rare occasion they traveled into the civilized lands they usually kept to themselves. There were whispered rumors about what they were really up to in those misty mountain temples. Their motives for killing the Fat Man's nephew and stealing the key were unknown. The Pineappleman wasn't sure what the key was for -but as desperately as the Fat Man wanted it and the fact that the Monks were willing to come out of the mountains and kill for it ---it must be something special.
