So, what's the plan then?
Well, my host died and I don't think I can do much unless there's something very dangerous deeper in the dungeon.
The mate to the troll they killed yesterday left this morning. We don't have anything along the lines of "big and scary". So, another plan. Quick!
I convinced most of them that I'm a dungeon guide... If you can masquerade as a good-aligned goblin we'd be ab-
She interrupts you by turning into a human with a poof. A real pretty one, at that. Her voice is a bit deeper,too. Her robes are too small as well, giving the perfect impression of a prisoner with ripped clothing.
Surprise... I told you I wasn't a born goblin. I was kidnapped and raised, but I learned my morals elsewhere.
...Ah. That's even better, I suppose.
Hey, Sprite! Are you there?
I'm going to need a healing potion, the stronger the better.
She gives you a strong healing potion. You manage to keep it afloat inside of you...somehow. Best not to try and ask too many questions, or else it might stop working.
The adventurer party turns the corner you are floating close to and they see the half-naked priest.
Who's that? And what is she doing he- Watch it! She might just be an enemy!
She's not! She's a hostage they had here!
And why should we believe you! I believe you're nothing more but a common evil being!
Couthwall! Calm down. There's a woman here in need of assistance.
And besides, I got that potion I promised!
Give it to the half-ling, if you please?
You drop it on the floor, gently. The half-ling greedily gulps it down.
If I may? I'd like to follow the sprite in order to get out. Most goblins fear clouds, the one who the leader swallowed not included. Not to mention, the guide probably knows the way to the nearest village
Sprite, is that true?
Indeed it is.
Then tell me which way to go, "Sprite".
And tell any nearby goblins where it is? You aren't that dumb, are you? (roll=19 + 1(good voice) = 20
I! I-ermmm... *Sigh* Alright. Fine! Go on then! apologies for mistrusting you.
You and the priest go outside, as you hear the sound of goblins being massacred. You left those poor guys behind without anything surrounding orders.
Level up!
Now that we aren't surrounded by ears, from what god do you come, anyway?
Putribilibus Carnifex. On that matter, would you like to become a high priest for me?
The priestess falls silent for a moment, shocked.
You come from Carnifex!?
Yes, I am.
In that case, gladly! Putribilibus is very hard to worship, you give a free gateway!
well, she's uncharacteristically excited.
What now?
Level up!
