Burn (Humor)

[Reunion Relics, Den]
This small room has been made into a cozy hideaway. Panels of sheer fabric in fall hues are draped from corner to corner across the ceiling, each panel overlapping another. On a table next to a brown suede sofa sits a glass mosaic oil lamp, giving the room a warm light. On the wall opposite a deep golden curtain is a mural of the town of Velathae, an autumn scene from a bygone time. You also see an etched brass sign.
Also here: Ghostly Spirit Rowynna who is sitting
Obvious exits: none
You nod to Rowynna.
Rowynna nods to you in greeting.
You say, "Hello."
You walk over to the sofa and with a satisfying sigh, throw yourself down upon its soft cushions.
Rowynna says, "Good evening."
You say, "I just come for the sofa."
Rowynna glances at a brown suede sofa.
Rowynna says, "You may not have my sofa."
Your jaw drops.
You say, "I'm kinda shocked."

You say, "I'll give ya 17,932 silvers for it."
You see Ghostly Spirit Rowynna.
She appears to be a ghost.
Her translucent form shifts and wavers in the air currents.� She is very short with wrinkled skin, and appears to be as old as the hills.� She has very long dark grey hair worn in a loose bun at the back of her neck.� She has clouded pale blue eyes with obvious cataracts, a hooked nose, and very thin lips.� The back of her skull appears to be crushed in several places.
She is in good shape, for a spirit.
She is wearing a shapeless faded satchel, a high-collared brown cotton dress buttoned from neck to hem, and a pair of black leather shoes buckled at the ankles.
Rowynna says, "Well if you can carry it, perhaps we can barter."
Rowynna nods to you.
You lie down.
You stretch one arm along your side and prop up your head with the other hand.
Rowynna squints at you.
Rowynna says, "Please remove your feet from my lap."
Rowynna says, "Before I remove your lap."
(Dhask kicks his feet up, but tries to settle them back down.)
You sit up.
You exclaim, "Find fine!"
Rowynna rises a few inches off the sofa and stares at you.
You cower.
Rowynna smiles and floats back down, settling herself with a creak onto the sofa.
You gulp.
Rowynna twists slightly, cracking her spine.� She looks much better.
Rowynna says, "Now then."
You say, "This is kinda akward sitting on here with you."
Rowynna says, "Not awkward if you stay on your end of the sofa, dearie."
You inquire, "Should we hold hands?"
Rowynna raises a wrinkled, arthritic claw toward you.
Rowynna says, "If you like..."
You nod.
(Dhask takes your claw into his left hand.)
You grin happily.
Rowynna laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.
Rowynna asks, "Did you wish any engraving or embroidering done this evening?"
You rub your chin thoughtfully.
You say, "Oh, I thought we were just having a elegant little sit down tonight."
You rub your chin thoughtfully.
Rowynna points at an etched brass sign.
Rowynna says, "We can do both."
You seem to be on fire.
You exclaim, "Ack!"
You are in far too much agony to do that.
You fall to the ground screaming in agony!
You flail about on the ground in an attempt to extinguish the flames!
You fail to put out the flames.
Roundtime: 4 sec.
Rowynna stares at you.
The flames engulfing you flare up and sear your skin!
... 20 points of damage!
Nasty burns to back. Won't be sleeping on that for awhile.
You are stunned for 3 rounds!
You are still stunned.
Rowynna says, "That is hardly elegant."
The flames engulfing you flare up and sear your skin!
... 15 points of damage!
Burst of flames char forehead a crispy black.
The flames surrounding Dhask flicker and die out.
You roll around on the ground.
Smoke continues to rise from you as your clothing smolders.
