Recap:
You adopted a klan of kobolts, and were cursed with turning into a dragon. You managed to recruit a muscular female plague doctor to help keep your insides inside.
More pertinant recap:
You just entered a town, there's goblins in their well and the townspeople are being really mean about it. You've also managed to catch dragon tuberculosis.
Also of note is that you've decided to REALLY INSIST on looking over an alchemist's lab, due to there being a lot of signs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Sir. I'm going to have to INSIST." You say, stepping forward. You're just about done with being nice, and if the alchemist does even the slightest thing that might indicate that he's going to be a problem about this, you're going to deck him in the face. The guard, Martin, is trying to keep things under control, and turns to you:
"Knight! This is a matter of law and safety! You can't just-"
"I very much can. I have the means, will and ability to search this place. Now shut up, boy." You say, letting anger color your voice. The guard seems to be a bit surprised at the outburst, but you're kind of over it at the moment. Yet, he still insists, and the alchemist stands behind him.
"All the same, if we permit this kind of thing it'll have long-term repercussions. There's a reason we-"
"I am a wandering knight. Helping people is my entire purpose, and I know that there is a high chance of my friend being in danger. Now will you let me search the place that has her dagger, or are you going to stand in my way?"
The alchemist then makes the mistake of stepping forward.
"This isn't some kind of... public library! Letting anybody in is a danger to my experiments, especially with the amount of thieving little lizards you apparently elect to take with you!"
He pokes his finger against your armor as he keeps ranting:
"And who are YOU to try and stop the advancement of science, hmm? Do you just seek to make things difficult for everybody? Is that why you bring those little things everywhere? I will demand it, even if the guard refuses to do so! GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!"
You lean forward, slowly. The face you're nearly a head taller than the little man really comes into play.
"Make me." You say, before you wave to the kobolts:
"Search it, find me a place where-"
Pink is already yelling before you finished giving the order.
"Hatch under the rug!" She yells, and the alchemist freezes up.
"There's... there's nothing down there. Just some of the more dangerous alchemical reagents! You'll die without protection, it's toxic down there."
The guard, meanwhile, finally steps in.
"SER! That's enough! I'm putting you under arrest for trespassing and vigilantism!" he yells, putting his hand on your arm and trying to pull it behind your back... to no avail. He doesn't have the strength.
"I'm checking that hatch." You say.
