Gnarl: Hmm...we've found the nest, Sire. Careful, you should not alarm them all at once. Otherwise, they'll have your minions upside down in a pot before you know it!
There are so many of them...but there are also humans among the crowd, so it would be pointless to go for a frontal assault. There must be another way...of course! The rats! We will drive them out little by little, and then slaughter them! Pity these idiots are too dense to realize what they were storing in those containers...
It looks as if the halflings were able to convince some of the humans to stay with them as chefs. They do look to be quite hardy...fool-hardy, that is. (I crack myself up sometimes.) It would be a bad idea to take them on all at once. They seem to be as disgusted at the sight of rats as their halfling masters. With them out of the way, I can finally get my hands on that delicious food stash.
Spree Villager: Oh, you've found it! Oh, Spree is saved! Thank you, Lord!
Gnarl: That food would provide you with a substantial amount of Lifeforce, Sire. You could leave them the food. Just walk next to the platform and let your Minions leave the food supply on it. Or, if you're feeling particularly Evil, why not just...keep it? That is, if we dispose of the...ahem, witnesses!
I thought you had advised against partaking in such mindless slaughter earlier? It matters not to me whether or not they get their food now...so long as they bow down to me later. I expect full compensation for this act of kindness in the immediate future, worms!
Gnarl: Well, well, well...it appears Melvin the Halfling is all grown up...and out! Pity he doesn't have the taste in music as he does in food!
Archie: You're a gent! I couldn't'ave spent another night listening to my grumblin' stomach! You're welcome at the Happy Mule any time. We're in your debts! Beers all around! I miss my Ruboria! Dry as a dead man's tongue, and sandstorms so bad you'd be sneezing glass for a week! I don't know why they made me Mayor. I know what happened to Lord Spree, our last mayor. I ain't ending up like that! Fancy a drop of the good stuff?
No, thank you. I am trying to cut that out.
