My head throbs.

My right hand is missing. Mangled. Destroyed.

>>215054
At least my docent is still functioning.

Even if it is making strange noises.

Whutsadocent?

How'd ya mangle yourself?

>>215057
You are. It seems you have been damaged somehow. A docent is an advisor construct. It is capable of knowing many languages and sometimes has abilities. I know that you can understand Common, Goblin, Giant, Orc, and Undercommon.

... It occurs to me that I should have been more careful in what languages I exposed you to...

>>215059
I... Am uncertain. The last thing I remember is falling a great distance.

What's your name Buck-o?

perhaps a rockslide mangled it? regardless, we will get nothing from sitting around here.

You don't seem very freaked out by your lack of hand.

Which is good because you might want to do some hiding or dodging. You've got a something or other on your nine o'clock.

My name? I'm Puller. I pull things. It is a simple living, but my current... Wait.

Oh...

That explains a few things.

>>215065
That would be you.

>>215068
so, what exactly does that explain?

>>215068
Yes, I am very confused Pusher.

>>215069
It explains what happened to the people who hired me. Or, rather, their cargo, which I was pulling.

It fell, along with me, into this cavern. Thankfully, you are capable of seeing in the dark, though, not in detail.

>>215070
My name is Puller. Do not try to confuse me.


...

It seems none of the rather precious material is salvagable. Matthei will be angered over the loss of this shipment.

DO NOT WORRY SHOVER.

We shall cross that bridge when we come to it. For now, let us explore your surroundings.

You wouldn't be able to fly would you?

Can we sort of just... fly up to wherever you fell from and ask someone to help you?

Do we have long term communication ability?

...

>>215072
What kind of material was it? Who's Matthei? We've forgotten pretty much everything.

What else is nearby?

>>215077
You said it wasn't salvageable Mover, perhaps we should just leave it and go.Do you require sustenance? I seem to have forgotten a lot about you!

>>215077
...At any rate, you will cease functioning a certain distance from my body, and I do not have any ability to communicate at long distances.

...I suppose I shall need a weapon of a sort. Though I am not an adventuring sort...

I shall have to make do.

>>215078
Fine wine. Not salvagable as a drink... but the bottles... well, it's all I have. I just need to find one with a nice jagged.... hmmm...

Matthei is the one who gives me my pay.

I do not require food or sleep, though I may participate in both should I wish.

And my name is Push... Puller.

>>215082
Oooh, get a piece of wood out of the wagon so you have a blunt instrument of some sort. A jagged bottle is nice against flesh but if you use it against anything else it's useless.

Did anyone else fall down here? A backpack would be quite useful.

>>215082
Well Dragger, Once you find a proper shard we should get a move on. May I suggest taking a few hefty bits, to perhaps throw at some Ne'er-do-well? I think it'd be a good idea to have both sorts of weapons! Or maybe even a bit of wood to use as a club!

>>215084
Hm? I actually cannot commit damage on the property of the shipment. It was coded into my Runus as part of the job. So... I can't pull apart the wagon, which is mostly intact.

No backpacks. I am alone. Except for my damaged docent.

Soon to be more damaged, possibly.

>>215089
Such a temper.

Well, I suppose you are probably Tempered.

In any case Push... Puller. We should set out. Pick up another bottle to use as a projectile and...

Do you happen to have a map?

>>215089
Oh well.

Let's get moving!

If you should happen on a good sized stalagmite it could make a handy club. Not that I'm sure you'll be battering much down here.

Remember why you fell in the first place?

>>215095
Indeed I do. As my Docent, you may access my mental mapping of an area at any time.

>>215096
I move on until I hit a bridge that branches off to both sides... it's a natural formation.

>>215101
I have no idea. Perhaps it was done on purpose by a group that wishes Matthei and his group unwell, of which there are dozens.

>>215104
Go left!

You can see in the Dark, can't you? Or is it just us?

... there is a door in the way.

Technically, warforged cannot own anything, as they are not people. They are more like equipment, the things they may 'own' considered parts of that equipment.

But yes. Let us en... Oh my.

ummm...
[say "hello" in each language we know and see what they respond to]

>>215139
If you can't own anything, why do you even get paid?

>>215139
Tell them to stop trying to hide. You just want passage through their lands, if they let you through then nothing will happen. If they refuse, well we'll cross that bridge when we have to.

I can buy myself, eventually. I think my price is... ah, yes. It is a single platinum.

>>215146
"Enough hiding. I only want passage."
I can hear you translate for me.

One comes out.
"Passage cost things." he replies. "You have thing? Or know where thing is?"
He pauses.
"Or you help us with problem, then you can pass. This way of Goblin, if you own place, you can keep people out. Is spear-right."
He thumps the spear's haft against the ground twice.

>>215148
Ask what kind of problem.

"Things across way intruding. Stealing! We want them stop or gone!"

>>215169
I think we can help with that. Let's go!

>>215169
Ask who's been stealing and what.

best bet would be to guard what is being taken and confront them in the act.

Yes, we need more information. We'll probably be happy to help though.

Out of curiosity, could you trade the broken bottles if you had to, or would that also go against your runus?

"Dammit, Jim I'm a puller not a trader!" The main gobbo's name is now Jim.

Yeah, ask for a little more information, look as happy to help as you can, which probably isn't much.

"Who has been stealing from you? What have they been stealing?"

"Kobolds! Kobolds steal and eat food! They not trade, like good people! They steal, and try look cute!"

The goblin growls.

"Human come many time, slay almost all goblin, every time. Kobolds left alone. Is maddening."

>>215746
Looks like we get to go punch some kobolds.

Tell him that we will go over and see what may be done.

I'm tempted to inquire if he has a weapon we can borrow, but that may be stretching it.

"Very well. Job registered. I will speak to the kobolds and ask them to cease their thefts. If they are not complaint, I shall follow with violent action until compliance. Is this satisfactory?"

"Yes, yes. They across bridge."

I travel to the other door. How shall I approach this situation?

Knock.

>>216625

Very well. I knock, carefully. The door opens and something peeks out.

It stares at me expectantly.

hello kobold. we are here to ask about you and the goblins.

>>217365
Grab the door to hold it open, and say you've been sent by the goblins to negotiate. By which you mean, they stop stealing shit from them or else.

Take me to your leader?

My steel grip holds the door firmly in place.
"I have been asked by the goblin tribe nearby to inquire as to certain activities of your own tribe. Things need not get violent unless you do."

It snarls, but says nothing.

>>217378
Ask it why they're stealing food.

>>217378
If it doesn't start replying right away, quickly close the door on the kobold so that you trap its head. Then proceed to interrogate, pushing the door harder if it refuses to speak.
