Rule of Cool

>...steal elephant

>Yes we are ready.
>Attempt to hire the burly man.
>Don't steal. Stealing is not cool.
>Does the path we're about to take pass by the watering hole?

The princess's eyes sparkle, “What is that? I want it, guards buy it for me!”

One of the guards approaches the exhausted elephant. “Apologizes, the Princess of the Kolson Kingdom, is interested in your large animal, what is it?”

“Betsy here is an Elephant, We are taking part of the annual exotic animal marathon! You don't happen to have some water with you?”

The guard looks back at the other guard who already have four buckets one in each hand, full of water. “We do, are you willing to sell Betsy to the Princess?”

The burly man gasps, “Besty is my best friend! Royalty or no, it will never happen.”

The princess pouts, “Aug, defeated by friendship once again!”

You lean over, “The watering hole is on the way, maybe he will let you ride it.” For once, you are in agreement, you too also want to ride on the Elephant.

Later, two guards, the Princess, and Fitz Soothman ride on Besty the Elephant through town. Each holding a bucket of water, moisturizing Betsy. The burly man sits coach next to the guard driving the carriage. “Thank you for allowing the Princess to ride the Elephant.”

“It's no problem, do you have more of those cheese flavored corn triangles?”

You stand up, balancing on the Elephant and peer into the distance. You kick flip off the elephant, skating ahead. “Hey where are you going?” says the Princess as she runs after, her new red cape dancing in the wind.

At the edge of town, near the watering hole. A tall thin man with an impressive mustache, struggles up a tree, barely out of reach of lion claws. “Aiiiiii, Heeeeelp!”
