I bend down to taste the material to see if it indeed is spice. If so, I plan to gather as much as I can hold, up to ten (I don't know about Archaic's progress) and leave the rest for the creatures.

finding a larger piece that is of a slightly lighter color beanbaker tries it. The taste is bitter and rather moist. Spitting it out he realizes it was wass droppings. Finding more granular specimen he smells it instead to find it has a great rich scent, packing this up into containers (as that must be Blute), he quickly returns to archaic with his 5 and 3/4 containers filled.

"How convenient" I say walking up to him. "We actually have just enough. I'll give the extra portion to the islanders for their hospitality." I hold out the wass droppings to Archaic. "Try this spice - I had no idea there were two spices here hahaha."

"Beanbaker, do you really want to toss your life away over something so simple. Its obvious that what you're holding is pond scum, or some sort of junk like that. By the way, how do you know how much spice I have... I don't remember telling you the amount that I have in my inventory."

*Archaic eyes Beanbaker as he walks towards the natives.*

I look back. "I assume you have enough or else you would still be out looking. If you seriously want to count what we have, we can do that." I stand waiting for his response, whether the villagers are watching.

As they walk up the leader sees them and sees how much containers they are holding. "I see, ten boxes, well I guess you deserve it after all the world you did with the Ko. For now on though, you will have to pay per container. I hope you guys have a safe trip back." With that the leader sits down again and pushes the button shutting the cave. The sun soon is seen through the door. The sun is up and the ko are away. The streets are once again alive.

I look to the leader before I leave. Since we have 10 and 1/4, I hold out the extra quarter to the leader. "This is a gift for your generosity, and also consider it an unofficial peace treaty for now. I hope your harvests bring you great wealth and prosperity."

*Archaic reveals that he took 4.5 containers worth of the spice and looks at Beanbaker contently.*

"Well as you can see, I just came back after getting a little bit, and for all I knew you could have had 3 containers. Its only by luck that we have almost exactly enough spice. This may not be the best of lessons, but next time don't be so sure of the results and always plan for the worst. Also take into account the stubbornness of the people you are associating with, alright kid. Either way, I guess I can let my anger subside for now as we have a nice amount of money waiting for us back at the capital."

The two head towards the ship and get on, the long adventure is over, but the arguments continue. It will be a long trip back to the capital.
