[HQ Ignorance] Scene 40: In a Ratty Dungeon

[Erica Hoehn]

"You have a lovely home down here, and I thank you again
for your kindness. It is a shame to see such as yourselves
in such dire circumstances and still be willing to help a
stone man that you do not know."  says Kalen. "I have been
told that you are not usually so kind to strangers.  May I
ask you, Rotterex, how it is that you speak yet none of the
others seem to, or is it that they do not wish to?" 

"I agree with you that the damned pot plant's idea of the
forest is not an overly practical one and I hope that trade
routes here will return to normal", Kalen continues (this
is a long speech for such as this dwarf boy). "I will make
sure that you shall have your 20 deer"

Kalen is not sure exactly how he will manage to get the 20
deer to them, but is sure he will be able to convince the
rest of the party that this is a small price to pay to end
the reign of the broken king, at least until trade begins
again (and even if it costs another hero point)

"I will offer my assistance to you here in restoring your
home to it's former glory.  I know stone work and can help
you all in many ways.  I feel it is the least I can do in
return for your kindness.


> Through myriad journeys in the darkness under the
> fortress Rotterex takes Kalen to the Bazak colony,
> eventually exiting into an old mausoleum and
> columbarium with numerous holes in the walls and
> crevices many obviously created by bazak themselves. 
> 
> There are some four score of the armored carnvivorous
> rodents present, not including the young who probably
> number half that quantity again. A number are clearly
> hungry, some are even quite weak.

> Rotterex notices Kalen surveying and counting the
> bazak. "Yes. We are starving. Our numbers are too
> great and there simply isn't enough food anymore."
> 
> "We can help you stoneman, but you must help us. We
> saw what happened when you tried to 'fix' the 'broken'
> king. Well, we can certainly achieve the result you
> desire."
> 
> "But this is the deal; I have journeyed outside the
> walls, and have seen what has been done. A mighty
> forest indeed! Well, that will virtually end trade
> here."
> 
> "Twenty fallow deer carcases per month, delivered
> here. For that price we will 'fix' your 'broken'
> king."
