Dunno though, I don't really >have any big problems, and I don't have enough money to pay yer price, I don't >think." Meshtak thinks for a moment. "Well, actually, I do have a small problem. Look at this." He holds up one hand, and shows a ring around his ring finger. >"Picked up this cursed ring a while back. It doesn't really do anything, but >its cursed so I can't take it off. Think yer chest could help me out?" Drax looks at the chest and seems to concentrate for but a moment. "Ah, friend, the price of the chest is rarely if ever paid in gold, there are far more interesting things that it accepts. Perhaps a tale from your lands, or even some feeling. It has been known to accept many things, and I am sure that it is something you will be able to pay, for the chest knows the limits of the individual, and asks only that which can be paid, if at some sacrifice. As for money, if you do need some little bit to get by, I am sure I can find some somewhere." ------Drax
