[caverncity]

You've spent one day at rest in the mountain. You can have two more if you need them, but that might not be wise, seeing as you actually have the chance for a head start. Your call, travelers.

While you're deciding, the cavern dwellers are still quite hospitable. Some of you may even be given gifts; best not to lose those any time soon. The road ahead may be darker than you've yet seen.

[ mission: decide when to move on. optional: butter up a local, maybe get cool swag. ]

Hm. 'Tis true, I am no native of this mountain. However, your stories of "bad things" scare me not.

[cabineyes]

[ takes a step back. it's none of my business anyway. ]

You might want to rethink that.

As far as we know there's nothing that can stop those creatures.

[scantilyclad]

Oh? And what creatures are these? I see none here. How am I to be certain you are not some lying fool, trying to gain my trust?

[cabineyes]

What would I do with your trust? I am merely being a gentleman. Warning a lady of a closing danger is my duty.

[ always the good guy am i not. ]

The creatures will arrive when you've stayed in one place longer than three days. They'll eat you.

[scantilyclad]

Well! You do not appear to be lying, and your tongue is suitably polite. I shall choose to believe your words, for now.

[cabineyes]

I am touched by your faith in me.

[ no big deal just saved your life. ]

Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Killian Jones... or Hook, if you wish.

[scantilyclad]

You may call me Morrigan.

[cabineyes]

That's a lovely name.

[scantilyclad]

My mother chose it, not I. Of course, I would pass the compliment on to her, were I to ever see her again.
