"Strange occurrences have been reported in the nearby area, including the Flan Caves, Goblin Forest, and Bomb Mountain. I was wondering if you could go check one of those places to see what is going on out there."

>"Surely, friend. Could you tell us exactly what has been reported where?"

"Well, there have been reports of excessive melting of ice in the Flan Caves, leading to the slow destruction of the Flans' environment. Reports of unnatural dormancy of the Bomb Mountain volcano have come in, which is depriving the bombs of their source of heat sustenance. Lastly, the Ochu And Malboros in the Goblin Forest have been showing unnatural amounts of aggression towards other creatures living in the forest."

>"Well, little cactuar; what is your opinion on this situation?"

let's hit the goblin forest first, need to do it before the aggression peaks and they spill out into the surroundings.

>>251798
These are all very serious, but lets go to the woods first. The problem is getting things hurt and there is maybe a quicker answer there than for melting caves and cold volcanoes.

"Very well, Jumbo. I will be sending with you one of my top tonberry scouts. Steve, why don't you introduce yourself?"

"Uh, hi. I'm Steve, one of the King's top royal scouts. My skills in stealth and navigation are among the highest of all tonberry-kind. I will be able to aid you with my lamp and knife, should you have with illumination or assassination needs. Please let me know if you need my assistance."

"How many people have you stabbed with that knife?"

"Well, a tonberry's butcher knife isn't an ordinary weapon, and thus doesn't 'stab' things in the physical sense, exactly. Our knives are imbued with the suffering of countless monsters, and transfer that pain directly into the soul of their victim, often causing instant death. We also have a spell called 'Karma's Grudge,' which slowly accumulates the suffering of all the monsters that the target has wronged, and unleashes it in a storm of deadly magic..."

"But enough of that, let's start heading off toward the Forest."

This gobbo look hurt, should we help it? What we going to do?

of course you help it, you are on a mission of justice.

HELP THAT GOBBO!

>>251937
Ask first if they've already overrun the village. No sense charging into a place already captured by the oppressors-wanna-be.

"The 'chus and 'boros've been randomly attacking goblins that'd wander outta the village for a while, andt's been happening more and more, until today...
The monsters suddenly burst outta the trees at the outskirts of the village, and started smashing the huts and tearin' up everything left and right! Everybody was running around in a panic and I got knocked around some in the chaos, barely makin' it outside of the forest before gettin' really hurt...
The 'chus and 'boros were never this violent before... maybe it has something to do with-"

"Ochus are large plant-based monsters that use poisoning and sleep-inducing spores to debilitate their prey. They normally stay out of populated areas and keep to eating small animals, but this one obviously has something wrong with it; we should be careful how we handle this situation..."

"I guess I'll look around here fer survivors with the cactuar..."

"Hello? Anybody here?"

"Yes! Over here!"

"Vikta! Are you okay?? What happened to the monsters?? Cactuar, come quick!"

"A few minutes after they first started attacking, they suddenly retreated back into the forest, taking some of the villagers with them... Some others managed to escape or hid somewhere, I think; I hope they're okay... The Ochus and Malboros left a trail when they left; I guess you could follow it to where they've been coming from... Please promise me you'll be careful if you decide to follow them..."

"Don't worry, Vikta, everything's gonna be ok. Some other people've come ta help. This cactuar here fought off an Ochu that attacked me!"

"Hi, gobbo Vikta! Jace, I no find nobody in the other houses, they musta ran away or got nabbed like lady gobbo said. Steve still no come back yet. I wonder what we should do..."

"Steve! What happen?"

"When I first checked the forest opening to here, I noticed a monster carrying someone in this direction. When I rounded this corner, I saw this giant hollow tree trunk with a malboro guarding it. I've been investigating this area while you were gone and all the tracks on the ground seem to converge here."

"This must be where the monsters've been takin' everyone! We gotta save 'em somehow!"

"Well malboros are known to be very dangerous monsters, and can inflict many debilitating ailments with their virulent 'Bad Breath' attack. They also have keen 360 degree vision with their large number of eyes, making preemptive strikes difficult. Whatever we do we should be very cautious with how we approach this situation."

jace: make it charge at you

cactuar and tonberry: hide behind those two trees then pincer attack it when it comes by.

Cactuar: Funky Dance!

Jace: Be taken aback by the sudden action. Then decide to act as distraction as well.

Steve: Be irked that your implication of utilizing caution has been disregarded. Then introduce malboro to your friend, Mr. Stabby.

So, what's up with this big hollow stump thing?"

"I believe it leads underground, possibly to where these monsters are residing. The mist also seems to be much thicker inside the entrance, but it shouldn't have too much of an adverse effect on us."

Hmm, big scary hole seem like next place to go, but should we do anything else first? We don't know much about dark hole..."

if everyone is near full Hp then descend.
