a-priori Among Paladins

    Chris Snevets

    B- Bastille takes Percy over to a table, "You see, Percy. May I call you Percy?"

    P- "No, you may..."

    B- "Ah, you see, Percy, what we have here, in this part of the world, is 'a-priori'. It means to take advantage of what is known before it is realized."

    P- "I, sir, know not what it is that you speak. Nope, no sir."

    B- "It's like what we had last week. These curmudgeons were in possession of stolen property, human trafficking, if you must know. We relieved them of their ill gotten gains and some of their heads." Bastille pats his newest head, well on the head, "The sooner we, the good folk, learned what the evil ones are doing, the faster we can rescue the innocents."

    P- "I'm beginning to see the picture." Without taking his eyes off the shrunken head, Percy grimaces, "How does one go about...making these, these things? I mean, are they real?"

    HeadBeShrunken- "Azuckt. Alibaba som nikosa, a-habab."

    P- "What in the name of Kempin was that?!"

    B- "GOOD! good. Yes, we will take back the riches and apply them for good." Bastille turns to Percy, "He says he could tell you, but he would have to kill you. Now, may we continue with planning the mission?"
