Actually, Ray really wishes his super best buddy, Gordon the bear,
could be with him. But Gordy's been sick for sometime now you see and
he doesn't seem to be getting better.

Ray wants to visit his friend but he knows he's not brave enough to
enter the enchanted forest where Gordy lives.

Consume drugs until you are either brave enough or intoxicated enough to enter the enchanted forest.

>>664217
Well Ray, with that kind of attitude you're never going to see your friend. Just what do you think bravery is, anyway? A lack of fear? Hardly. Bravery is doing something even when it scares you to do it.

So you've gotta ask yourself, Ray, which matters more to you: not facing your fear of the enchanted forest, or visiting your best friend, who could use your company?

Won't you do it for your Super best buddy?! He is probably alone and in need! What kind of friend you are?

What is in the enchanted forest that bothers Ray? The Boogie man?

Then hire a forest guide to help you.

Find someone who can cure sickness! Do you know any doctors or witches or anything?

Ray remembers the old dolx saying to stay away from the forest
but his friend needs him. Gordy's sickness is something that
can only be cured by true friendship. Even though Ray cannot afford a guide,
he will go into the forest to save his pal.

The plains and hills roll like green waves as Ray walks the
old dirt road. He wanders farther and farther away from his home
and soon finds himself at bridge of the forest entrance. It talks too!

>>664233
What kind of toll?

>>664233
Crouch down so you can see who's talking to you.

How much is the toll?

Hop over the river. You don't need to pay the troll toll if you don't use his bridge.

>>664237
Seconded.

Ray doesn't have any money but he does have two good legs.
A swift jump nearly places him on the other side but
slick tentacles pop up out of the stream and grab him.

>>664246
Quick! Cover your bodily orifices! Also, bite the tentacles with your slavering, razor-sharp jaws.

>>664246
Tell it okay okay you'll pay the toll!

Wiggle and thrash wildly to break free!

Bite them!

The tentacles prove too much for the small dolx no matter his struggle.
Pay! Pay the toll, Ray! But the troll is not happy.
He gives Ray a riddled choice.

"I'll suck your dick!"
But seriously are you better at stealing or craftsmanship? Because if neither then tentacle rape and troll D are your only other options, that or explain how you are going to see a sick (possibly dying) friend.

>>664260
Making goods sounds like the option less likely to land you in more trouble.

"it's not because i wanted to rob you of a toll, it is that i have no money to pay at all, if i did you would have gotten it"

When it says "goods you'll take" I thought it meant that you have to deliver (take) some goods to a certain place which sounds more feasible unless you have the skills to make things.

>goods you'll make
Ask him to please not turn you into a fur coat. Your fur isn't even that great! Look, you didn't even take great care of it.

We'll take the not becoming goods choice, please.

Ray decides to take the goods rather than become them.
He is released from the tentacles' grip and given a small, wooden chest
by the troll with some gabbled instructions and a warning.

>>664351
So we're looking for a young horse? Do you know where the inn is?

There's no way of knowing which direction the inn lies so Ray simply
takes the path until he hits a fork in the road.
The names on the arrows are unfamiliar to him and they could
all equally be the name of the inn.

Well if we don't know where we're going anyway there shouldn't be any harm in giving the mysterious talking hole a few moments of our attention.

>>664375
The guy in the hole
Might be the dark mole,
So what e'er they tell
Shall not bode thee well.
Best ask right away,
"To the Inn, which way?"
And journey down the opposite path!

That's probably the mole in that hole there, so ask them which way to the inn; then assume their answer is as blatant a lie as possible, and go down the exact opposite path--for example, if they say it's in Funch or Hob, then go down the Kato/Crowlin/Elkwood path.

>>664375
That's the mole. Don't ask specifically about the inn, ask what all the names mean.

There's a mole in the hole.
Ray inquires about the meaning behind each of these names.
The mole gives brief details about most of the places.
In return he asks Ray to show him the inside of the chest.

Bed and bread sound like what we want. Head to Funch.

Explain to the mole it's rude to open other people's mail, so we're sorry, we won't open the box for him.

>>664388
I dunno what's in the box. No peeking.

It's full of beeswax. Nunya beeswax.

run away quickly from the mole to funch.

Do not talk to the mole.
Do not listen to the mole.
Do not look the mole in the eyes.
Do not provoke the mole.
Do not attempt to combat the mole.
Run away from the mole.

>>664388
"I do not know, and I can't tell,
For if I do I shan't do well!
Now, with thanks and a bow to you,
I must leave and bid you adieu!"

>>664396
Also, head in the opposite direction of Funch, towards Kato/Crowlin/Elkwood.

>>664390
Agreed on both counts

Ray declines opening the chest to show the mole and heads for
Funch instead. The mole only speaks his thoughts and leaves Ray to his quest.

A long, tiring walk later and Ray spots the first signs of a building.
The sign confirms that this is the inn the troll was talking about.
Ray only has to deliver the chest and then he can head over to see Gordon.
IF he knew where in the forest his house was.

Offer the foal the delivery from the troll.

Then try to get directions at the inn.

>>664407
Yep.

Also ask the foal about the mole. Was he threatening you?

>>664406
"Once there were two friends of different countries at war."
So, I guess we know why the forest is dangerous. Or, this is all an allegory for a wartime situation, which would probably mean that Ray represents someone pressured into being a traitor.

It might be a good idea to have a peek inside of the box, before you hand it over to the horse--who knows what the troll actually put in there. Perhaps what the mole said was a warning, rather than a threat, and he wanted Ray to know what was inside the box, rather than wanting to find out for himself.

The awkward foal accepts the chest without a word. However, when Ray asks about the mole
she grows a worried look on her face and cautions Ray. The foal tells him that the box holds
very "important" goods though she wouldn't open it for fear of punishment by Moe the Crow.

She doesn't know anything about Gordon though someone inside probably does.
Ray dares not enter the inn since nearly everyone who is not a dolx holds negative opinions about his kind.

What the hell, why is this so hard? All you wanna do is go see your friend in the woods.

Ray, seeing this whole affair as unnecessarily difficult, decides to head into the inn.
Inside there's hardly anyone here. Unusual for an inn this large in good condition.
The innkeeper may be of some help if he wasn't fast asleep.

We just became inadvertent drug runners, didn't we.

Groggy, the innkeeper looks at the dolx without much attention.
From him Ray learns that Gordon lives in the outskirts of Crowlin
which would only take a days walk if he goes through Kato.
Much to Ray's surprise the innkeeper offers Ray a room since the
dolx are considered detestable pests among civilized races.

Ah, well, thank him, but ask why the kindness.

...why are you the only one walking around with no clothes?

>>664697
Take the room.

>>664697
The rabbit is right,
This eve danger looms;
So take the free room,
And lock the door tight!

Be sure not to meet
Face to face with that crow,
For if yours you do show
You might be dead meat!
