Re: The cabin
There seems to be general consensus, or at least no outspoken disagreement, so the rest of the group retreats to the barn while Riza and Minmorc stay to talk with the hooded figure in the cabin.
This certainly seems to suit Dregz as it means he is able to put more distance between himself and the fourth hut with a wooden plaque above its door depicting an oak leaf and acorn, which he says is the symbol of a god called "O'Baddy" – the Gaelic god of men who wear black hats, perhaps?
Everyone manages to find a suitable spot around the barn door or a convenient crack in the walls that lets them watch and listen to the conversation.
Finally the inner door of the cabin opens to reveal the owner of the hissing voice. It is a kobold wearing a grey silk robe, with dark goggles covering his eyes. In fact, some of you get the distinct impression that you have come across this this strange character before. It quickly becomes obvious that this is their spokesman and the taller hooded figure with the scimitar has not spoken at all.
"Yousss can ssstay here for a night, even for the nexxxt day asss well, if you wantsss to, ssso long asss yousss don't come in thisss cabinsss and don't attacksss usss. I'sss gotsss sssomething ssspecial for yousss if you do that. I'sss got a magic wandsss that I will trade with yousss. I'sss identified the magicsss too. It'sss a wandsss of lessssser vigor, which makesss yousss healsss quicker! I even knowsss the passsswordsss and I will tell yousss it when yousss leavesss tomorrow, if we makesss the deal.
"There'sss two choicesss I will offersss yousss. If yousss will fixxx the holesss in the big fence around thisss place I will givesss yousss the wand and the passswordsss tomorrow. Or yousss can buysss it for the sssame price I could sssellsss it at Gorna, plusss what it cossst me to identifiesss it. That comesss to 475 goldsss. Either way, yousss won't getsss the wand until yousss leavesss tomorrow. Keepsss usss sssafe or yousss don't getsss the wand and the passswordsss!"
