– IT'S A GOOD NIGHT, ISN'T IT?
You spin to face a nearby alleyway and freeze immediately. Before you stands a MONSTER. Giant, four-legged, with spiked limbs circling his head, seemingly eyeless, but staring right at you. His friendly grin is offset by all the blood.
– "HEROES HUNT IN PACKS YOU KNOW?" he continues in a conversational tone, "BUT NOT TONIGHT. YOU NEWBORNS HAVE THEM OVEREXTENDED." he calmly bites a chunk out of the corpse that hangs on one of his limbs and continues to talk while chewing.
– "WHATH HYOUR *crunch* NHAME?"
– "Moldy"
– "NICE T' MEET YA MOLDY. I'M IO" He licks the blood off his teeth and continues in a friendly manner. "WON YOUR FIRST FIGHT, DIDN'T YA? I CAN SEE BY THE EYES. HOW DOES A ONE LIKE YOU EVEN EAT 'EM? WITH ROOTS?"
– "Mycelium"
– "YEAH SAME THING. ANYWAY, I'M JUST HERE TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE ADVICE. FUN'S GONNA END SOON, MOST OF THE NEWBORNS GOT BLASTED ALREADY. YOU GOTTA GET OFF THE STREETS. AFTER ALL, WE GONNA NEED ALL OF YOU FOR THE WAR."
– "The WAR?"
– "YEAH" He gives you a broad smile. "WE WERE OUTNUMBERED HARD FOR THE LONGEST TIME, BUT NOW KING SENDS REINFORCEMENTS. SOON, WE CAN BEGIN." His tone becomes wistful. "SOON WE WILL KILL AND EAT ALL HUMANS."
He pauses for a moment collecting his thoughts.
– "RIGHT, DIRECTIONS. YOU GOTTA GO UNDERGROUND. WE GONNA HOLD A MEETING THERE SOON. YOU NEWBORNS ARE GONNA MEET SOME OLD GUARD, LIKE ME. JUST FOLLOW THE OLD TUNNELS."
Satisfied with himself, he turns and slinks into the darkness of the alleyway, but not before adressing you.
– "YOU'RE GONNA BE THERE, RIGHT? WOULDN'T WANNA DISSAPOINT ME.."
– "Uhhh, yep! If I can make it!"
– "I'M SURE YOU CAN." He chuckles. "YOU'RE GONNA BE A GREAT MONSTER, I CAN TELL."
With that, he leaves. He moves very quietly for something that big.
Well, shit.
NOW WHAT
>You can hear a van driving in your direction. Chances are, that's Glocktopus transporting his monster captive. Time for a prison transport intercept.
>Go underground. See what you'll find.
>Go home. Getting conscripted into the monster king liberation front doesn't interest you.
>Go find an abandoned place to hole in for a while. Your home is probably unsafe.
>Go destroy some more videogames. You can handle the increased hero presence.
