What was odd, was that Crispy seemed to know what she was. Which meant he had seen one before, and also knew of them. Curious. Perhaps he was smarter than she gave him credit for, or at least more experienced. Now how best to calm him down. Goblins like him only respected strength...so a show of intelligence and good faith, whilst still being intimidating. Of course, Ardur also wanted input. At least he didn't open his mouth too much. [color=598527]"Orchid speaks the truth, Crispy."[/color] Ash began slowly, making sure her Charisma skill was still active. [color=598527]"But I won't make any excuses or attempt to gloss things over with a friendly pretense. I want a business deal, nothing more, nothing less. Protection and extra hands, and in return I make the goblins all the potions they need."[/color] She paused for a moment, letting Crispy come to a conclusion himself. [color=598527]"That's right, Alchemy. Ever heard of it? You seem like a smart goblin, so I'll assume you have. I am fairly skilled in such things. With the right ingredients I could likely almost make anything."[/color] Glancing over to Orchid, Ash began following. [color=598527]"Of course, you are free to reject the offer and you'll never see me again,"[/color] Ash glanced back at the Goblin. [color=598527]"...but then you'll have one less tool against whoever or whatever has taken over the cave, now won't you?"[/color] [hider=Inventory] [i]Throat Pouch:[/i] - 5x empty slots.
