These adventurers are dangerous, they will cause the deaths of untold innocents if we do not stop them.
Join me in my quest!

You attempt to explain what is "really going on here" to the elemental, just as the merchant appears around the corner of the cart, along with one of the travellers. (convincing check (WIS vs. WIS) ==> 2 vs. (?) (?)) They all look at you skeptically.



Clearly, he isn't fooled.



What do you do?

I suspect that the players' intervention will be important.

If they're non-hostile: "Sure."
If they are hostile: Run. This should help convince him that the adventurers are actually dangerous and such.

One of the travelers turns to you and says,
Quote
"Of course we cause lots of death. We're adventurers. Kill 20 bears, collect 15 bear asses, lot of things are going to meet their end. It ours job, like your is beginner's first boss and maybe comic relief."
They appear to be non-hostile.



For now.

"Whoa whoa whoa. What? Are you implying that I am a low level boss? Low level bosses die. How about I help you? Based on what I know you most likely have a thing. Adventurers with things always want to get their thing to a place. I can help you with that."

Make it simpler and tell him that we're their first ally NPC.

actually...

I'm here for exposition, I provide information on all the creatures here, so that you have at least some clue as to what you are doing. If you kill me, you'll ruin the entire plot.

...And then lie in every encounter.

They'll catch on before too long. If we go that route, it would be better to give vague, helpful-sounding tips that are usually helpful but which are fatally misleading at a crucial moment.

I was actually only meaning for us to say that to the elemental, but at least we are still alive.

Oh look, I have a steam account.
Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.
As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

One of the adventurers says,
Quote
Code: [Select]
I HAVE NEVER ADVENTURED
I HAVE NEVER KILLED
I AM NOT YOUR TARGET GOBLIN
He speaks in an odd, mechanical sounding voice.

You nod towards the one who spoke, and then tell the whole company that you are their first ally NPC, and that you are there to provide exposition.

The merchant, meanwhile, seems to be continuing a conversation that occurred while you where sneaking.
Quote from: one of the adventurers
Truly, good peddler, I fear I have misjudged you. I accept your offer; provide me if you would with an armament of suitable range and mystique to protect this noble convoy.

Wait... is he offering them loot? Without giving any to you? How rude of him!
Unless, of course, he is giving them actual arms, but that's unlikely.

What do you do?

Wait for the PCs to ask the "Exposition NPC" something. Like a good NPC.
