L31. Fooling

"Let's be clear on this. If you want the mission aborted, you can take back my ax," said the assassin.

"However, according to our original agreement, even if the mission is aborted, you'll still have to give me the ax I was promised. If not, I'll just keep my own ax; I'm used to it now, anyway."

You glanced at his ax and knew it possessed a magical energy. If you could exchange it for the one mentioned in the order, you'd come out on top.

Have you got it? I don't have time to sit around waiting, grumbled the assassin impatiently.

You handed him the ax he had been promised, and he gave you his own weapon, albeit reluctantly.

You were pleased to have cheated this foolish assassin out of a valuable weapon. To avoid any further complications, you bowed to him curtly and ran off, clutching your new ax.
