Re: (IC) The End or the Beginning?
Roywing smiles at the man as he speaks. She looks like a little grandmother surrounded by her grandchildren. "As I said, I am sorry for the words that hurt you. I ensure that despite their words they are brave and honourable people."
She stops for a second and continues talking changing the subject, hoping the man does not focus on the small collision they had a few minutes ago.
"And yes, we came here looking for your aid, as we understand you might be one of the few people, if not the only, that might know what is hiding behind the weird behaviour of the hobgoblins. We definitively know very little about it."
She puts her hands together and picks the sentences he just said about his house being safe.
"I understand that you've managed to keep your house safe from the attacks, although I don't understand how. But if you want to hear my opinion, I think even when the house is protected from the attacks, once the whole village is devastated by the hobgoblins and they roam free around the house, it will not make nice place to live. Even if it's safe... I would consider the advantages of keeping the village and the villagers safe, not only as a moral decision, but also as something that can benefit you in the long term."
She softens her smile a little bit.
"You know, being considered a critical part of their safety, keeping the commercial lines opened, having a way of sell anything you'd like to produce, as well as be able to buy some products you might be interested. And of course, not being surrounded by hobgoblins yourself."
OOC: I'd like to buy a Scroll of Dispel Magic, buy I only have 19 gp so I guess I'll need to cash in before anything else.
