“Lohk! What are you doing here?”
“I think the question is what are YOU doing here.”
“I think the question is how did YOU get here BEFORE us?”
“Bah. I know you think you’re the biggest, baddest goblin renegade in the world these days, Paws, but I spent more time sneaking around under the Empire’s nose than you’ve spent ALIVE, and don’t you forget it.”
“Yes ma’am.”
“Anyway, to answer your question AND mine, Ricki…”
“I read that letter of yours while you were asleep.”
“Oh.”
“I already KNEW you were exploring dungeons behind my back, but THIS is too much!”
“Somebody’s asking for our help! That’s what we do, we HELP people!”
“I know we do, Ricki. That’s why our home has turned into a refugee camp.”
“YOU help people in Goblintown all the time! And look at this place! We can grow a ton of food and send it back to the city like the bugbear brothers used to!”
“You can’t help ANYONE if you get KILLED! I learned that lesson a long time ago, and if you keep going like this you’re going to learn it too!”
“This is a TRAP!”
I thought it might be, but the payoff seems worth it. Even if it’s a trap, the stuff here is likely to be worth alot. …..is lohk going to join the dungeon diving? A healer would be nice…
If she’s going with us, then someone (who’s not Ricki) has to stay behind, since only 4 party members can enter a dungeon. I vote for Mac xD
Well, that makes sense. We are a group of illegal adventurers on the run, so what’s the better way to catch us than by luring us into a dungeon (fake or not). And even if it’s not a trap, if we decide to stay here, our “A Friend” will know our base location and can always turn us in.
I don’t think Friend wants us caught by the guard, we were doing a good enough job of that ourselves (thanks Macadamia). There’s definitely other powers in this world though, and out here others can make big shows of power that would otherwise get them in trouble with the guard. Hopefully Ricki’s Dungeon Eyes aren’t being targeted here.
Good job, Paws! You took all the initial momentum all on yourself. True hero!
You really protect your valuable customers!
Pting! +XP for Paws. Level up! xD
(or at least whoosh and divine item shows up, like, smiling Ricky bobble head figure, +1CHA when wielded)
“This is a TRAP!”
Typical answer at RPG table: “Let’s go into!”
