Took my human companion to some goblin pits to see what was going on. He started beating up on them, so I told him to cut it out. "I will fight no more," he replied, and carried on fighting. So I decided to make him stop, and punched him in the leg and told him to yield. This made him unhappy to the point where he cancelled our adventuring agreement, and I re-recruited him. It didn't stick, however, and he started attacking
me. Bastard stole my +bronze long sword+ off me and busted up my arm as well. I recruited a heavily-injured goblin and we crawled out of the pits together to travel and heal. The bastard human appeared to be in the area of the pits, but they cover such a large area that I gave up and picked up a stray silver bolt as my new weapon. Hopefully it doesn't count as one for the purposes of alarming civilians.
Wandering the wilds together, my companion and I suddenly felt uneasy. To the north north west, just out of my field of view, there was some commotion. Unfortunately, this meant I didn't notice the night creature right next to us from the south, and it leapt upon the hapless goblin. It wasn't hostile to me though, so I tried to talk it down. Wasn't happening, so I made with the small talk.
He seems a chipper fellow. Perhaps I shall recruit him.
Edit: This is the best conversation ever.
