“Funny thing, I’d heard a rumour going around that the Guard picked up a goblin over in Goldenstone. And then an even fresher rumour that they lost one. Know anything about that?”
“Nope!”
“’Course not. You’re a smart kid.”
“…A smart kid that brought some human I’ve never seen before into one of my secret tunnels.”
“That’s Kamau. He’s cool.”
“Well, if you say he’s cool, I guess he must be pretty cool.”
“Hello…?”
“Kamau, this is Paws. He’s a merchant from Goblintown.”
“A merchant, among other things. From Goblintown, among other places.”
“He buys and sells all kinds of stuff. I’ve known him since I was little.”
“Nice to meet you.”
“Same.”
“Speaking of buying and selling, you got anything for me?”
“Heh, maybe. Take a look at THIS!”
“…Huh. That’s interesting. Ricki, have you been going into dungeons again?”
Show him the mugs with beer in it. 😀
Well, with something like 25% beer in them, 75% cheez, that snales were nibbling at… No, wait, we drank the only mug filled from the tap. Those mugs are 100% snale juice.
Paws probably knows exactly the kind of people who would buy something like that, but I wouldn’t give good odds of him bothering to deal with it. Who knows though, I may be reading too far into the line about “some” items being sellable, especially since everything has a cost or the conspicuous absence of one.
Could be worth a try if he has something as useful to trade, otherwise that beer is worth keeping. Good thing the barkeep didn’t notice.
Ricki: “Don’t worry, if Kamau tried to tell a guard about these tunnels, they’d be too busy trying to kill him to listen.”
Paws: “Huh. So he’s *that* kind of cool.”
“You’d be amazed how little attention someone pays to their pockets after stumbling out of a hole in the ground, bleeding profusely”
Everyone who knows Ricki wants her to kick her crippling dungeon addiction
….it’s a widdle hard to read the black text…
It’s a lottle hard to read the black text.
If it were a ring, then obviously toss it into a fire and Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul, ash nazg thrakatulûk, agh burzum-ishi krimpatul pops up. But on a coin?

Get Kamau a doctor already! Jeez he’s going to draw attention drenched in blood like that.
All HPs were restored, so I suppose bleeding stopped already and it’s all just stained clothes? Otherwise, with the wound he got, he’d keep leaving red puddles of blood everywhere he goes.
“Ricki, have you been going into dungeons again?”
“I am neither into BDSM nor the one wearing that head-wear…”
