Quote:Ever hear about that old tomb past the swamps?

What, bandits hiding in there?

No, nothing like that. Old marta was saying if you go there after dark and set a few candles by the entrance something might notice.

Candles? Notice what?

Not what, who. She says people used to go there, stand in the doorway with candles lit and just ask for something.

Sounds like the kind of bullshit that people make up after a few drinks.

Maybe but remember Tommy?

The one who could barely keep his shop open last year?

Yeah, I remember.

He went up there one night. Didnt tell anyone until later. Said he lit a few candles by the stone, waited a bit. Wouldnt say what he asked for though.

And things got better for him after that?

Quickly. Too quickly. Paid his debts, fixed the place up, got enough coin to spare.

You ever think about trying it?

I dont know, feels silly, when you say it out loud. Candles at some old tomb.

Yeah.

Still...I noticed some wax last time I passed by.
