<p><span class=messageboard-ooc>
<br />
1) Zinny might not move in immediately? She's still coming around to the idea of being a full-time adventurer. She's getting there.
<br />
1a) I'd pick a room when Zinny actually moved in
<br />
1b) Hiring the girl sounds like a great idea
<br />
2) Zinny will segue into full-time adventurer, getting more 'serious' about it now that she knows her father was one, and that it seems like there is something big in town now to worry about that is their problem. But, again, not overnight necessarily
<br />
3) Cabin sounds great! Zinny will help haul needed lumber, tools, etc
<br />
4) I vote tunnel to Whip, yes, and have no objections to tunnel to the Cow
<br />
5) Secret doors are lots of fun :D</span></p>
<p>Zinny has a few words with the warden and is allowed 'a little time' with the miscreants. The big girl enters the cell and closes the door behind her, giving the guard a little nod to move away. The guard takes a look at her face and moves off. </p>
<p>Zinny focuses on Jacob. She stands over him, and deliberately draws her good old fence-post (there's something to be said for sentimentality, even if the new club is a better one to actually use in a fight), and pats the blunt, worn wood into the palm of her hand thoughtfully.</p>
<p><b>"Jacob, you know all 'bout this club, don't you? I think I whumped you with it a time or two when you was actin' up at th' Whip. Maybe I shoulda cracked you harder on the skull back then. Smacked some sense into you... yeah. Mayhap you wouldn't have got up to all this trouble if so...</b></p>
<p><b>"But then again, maybe you would've. Maybe you're just bad right down to the bone. Maybe there ain't no fixin' you or your brothers. Maybe you won't tell me nothin' 'bout what's goin' on an' why you was bringin' awful people into town."</b></p>
<p>Zinny leans in, closer, frowning thunderously. <b>"I don't like hurtin' people none,"</b> she says into Jacob's face. <b>"But th' way I reckon it? If'n you wanna be bad, I guess I gotta treat you like a bad person. So let's find out.</b></p>
<p><b>"Let's find out if whompin' you on th' skull'll make you be a better person or not."</b></p>
<p>She raises the club in both hands, squinting down at Jacob, eyeing him as if considering just how hard and where to hit him.</p>

<p><span class=messageboard-ooc>You say 'colored dots indicate correct answers in some way' according to Griz's knowledge check, but then you say that the 'colored dots in the translucent stone' light up for correct solutions.
