Next you'll be walking through a lovely valley. In addition to the green meadows and colorful flowers you might encounter a small farm every now and then. The locals are quite friendly compared to the people you've met before. Enjoy that glass of milk they offer and try not to burn down their cattle shed.

[ mission: be nice. please. just try. ]

[ ugh it was so nice without him ]

Yeah, maybe we should leave the gnome there.

[sawedoff]

[goes back inside]

[cabineyes]

[ nick you were worried about me weren't you. ]

Mates, don't be like that.

Now, give me the rope.

[ my boots are getting wet. ]

[strangename]

You know him?

[cabineyes]

[ I CAN HEAR YOU WALKING AWAY ]

[dices]

Not really.

[ leans over the well and watches hook ]

Hang in there, we'll get some rope.

[ walks away to eat breakfast ]

[cabineyes]

[ i'm going to cut satan in the eye. ]

Take your time, why won't you.

[strangename]

I don't know if they're coming back...

[cabineyes]

They're not.

Now do me a favor and toss the rope, lad.

[ wait a second. ]

--Are you new?

[strangename]

Yeah. Icarus.

[ is there rope out here? how did this guy even get down there ]

[cabineyes]

[ of course there is rope. ]

Pleased to meet you.

Though I am willing to bet it would be even more pleasant if I was standing on dry land.

[ seriously my new boots. ]

[strangename]

... Just a second. I think we had something inside that'd work...

[ goes back inside to finish his breakfast before helping any well gnomes ]

[cabineyes]

[ seriously? ]

[sawedoff]

[the only person that cared that you were missing is getting lost in the swamp right now looking for you. yes seriously.]

[shovels the rest of his egg in his mouth and looks across at nick]

Dude disappears for days then turns up in a well where we're conveniently stopped over. What do you think?

[some shit is up is what he thinks]

[dices]

[ forks at a bit of hash brown and nods at him, arms crossing over the table ]

I don't know, man, but it's Hook. Something's up. Maybe we should ask him.

[sawedoff]

[looks out window and bobs head in agreement]

[after seconds. no rush. cleans up egg and sausage residue with a pancake and shoves it in mouth]

[dices]

We'll get him out after the questions?

[ sips some more coffee ]

[sawedoff]

Do we have to?

[reaches across table to snipe more sausages]

[dices]

[ laughs a little and nods ]

Yeah, we do. [ fills up the cup again and sits on the windowsill to watch the well. ] Besides, who knows what he's been up to. Maybe he sold us off for a couple of coins.

[sawedoff]

[surprisingly accurate.]

Not really helping on the why do we have to point.

[dices]

[ gives him a "come on" look

goes get some rope while dean porks out on this delicious breakfast ]

[sawedoff]

[long suffering roll of his eyes as he gets up to go back out to the herpes well]

[grabs a pancake on the way out. for the road]

[sits his fat ass on the edge of the well and shines light down again while enjoying pancake]

Dead yet?

[cabineyes]

[ glances up. you're really a sight for sore eyes. try not to fall down and crush me to death with your fatness. ]

Unfortunately not yet. Sorry to disappoint.

[dices]

[ rope around his chest. leans arms on the edge and tilts his chin ]

Where have you been?

[sawedoff]

Try it without the lying through your teeth if you would.
