Maximus[’] nostrils flare. 'Actually, I’m not.' He raps the book inside his backpack. 'The Dungeon Masters Guide is pretty much the definitive edition. It’s held me well for a decade, and I have no intention of changing.'

You nod soberly and show him the wine. 'Ah,' he says, taking out a satchel and removing some money from it. He gives you eight dollars. '10% of the anticipated retail value,' he says. He puts it in his backpack, nods to you, and leaves the coachhouse.
