Morning Everyone
We’ve all been having to wash our hands a lot more recently,
and the number one item on everyone’s pack list after Iron Rations is now
soap. Of course, we all know there’s
been a shortage of soap since the start of the disease, and we know that
everyone is doing their best to make do with what they’ve got, and there’s been
some reasonably inventive things going on in the adventuring community at
large.
However….
We got word this morning of a merchant coming in from out of
town with a fresh supply of soap bars, big load, plenty of soap for all concerned,
seemed to be too good to be true, so we checked it out.
Turns out that free enterprise runs as far as casting Hold
Monster on a gelatinous cube and then carving it up into chunks and
wrapping it for selling so no one notices till you’re washing your hands with
it…
All those laughing at the back can do one, nothing buggers
up your day faster than realising that not only are your face and hands burning,
but your soap is making a run for it…
So, take precautions people, any new soap you buy, leave it
on the side for a day before you use it, if it’s still there, it’s probably
good. If it’s made a break for it, be
cheerful you didn’t end up with a face like mine this morning. The glass bowl on my desk contains a sample
of the cube that we rounded up, don’t get too close, and remember…
Let’s be careful out there…
