Since story is the theme for this 3-day animation challenge, I thought I'd do a little choose your own adventure style thing. So I'll present the scenario D&D style and then you guys can choose whatever option you want the main character to do.
It's a late, stormy night and our plucky hero is in need of a place to stay at the inn. Behind the bar stands a gorgeous innkeeper, with a much more intimidating yet equally stunning guard positioned next to her.
The room is scattered with other travelers; drinking, conversing, or simply minding their own. A particularly boisterous group of adventurers sits in the corner.
The Innkeeper asks for a hefty sum of gold but our hero is light on coinage at the moment. What will she do?
