They had hardly disappeared, when the five companions saw approach a cavalier wrapped in a large cloak.
"You trying to upset the system or something?" "Isn't that the purpose of your revolution?" "Look, Nenni, we're tired of you Nenni getting all the graft. We want our turn. What good would it do us to run Petreac if there's no loot?" "You mean you intend to oppress the people? But they're your own group." "Group, schmoop.
