“You’re quite odd, how’d you even get in this situation in the first place?” He doesn’t say or do anything until you eventually do a vine gesture towards the chest.
He talks as he starts rummaging through the chest and equipping or saving anything he can.
“Well… to make a long story short, I dunno if you heard about the amulet that they say is here, but I was planning on getting it… It’s why I gambled all my money on that wand to make my life easier. I was exploring the lower parts around here and saw a shiny looking potion, cool right? But as soon as I went for it… these goddamn goblins sprinted and just HAMMERED me man!” He makes an exaggerated pummeling motion with his hand. “Like, fuck! I got knocked out, stripped of my shit and thrown into a cage like an animal!”
“And well the rest you’d know how it went. They told me their big ugly green boss was going to eat me alive! ALIIVEE! If i’m going to be eaten, let it be dead for the love of god! Even being gutted by some other green guy was starting to seem like a better deal than that!” That wasn’t short at all.
“That’s weirdly flattering and oh, ever so sad. But I’m a plant lass, for your information. Maybe even vegetable lass if you guys think of it differently.”
“Huh? You’re?- You uh- ah okay, well-” he seems surprised and you hear him mumble some words under his breath while looking away from you. “cerl-don-act-like-wan…” immediately clearing his throat afterwards;
“Well, my apologies, la-ahem. Miss Vine. I again tha-” You raise one vine firmly “Hold up.” you hadn’t thought about it before but he could have an idea of what these scrolls you picked up do. “Do you know what these scrolls do?” You take out one red scroll and another blue one to display them to him.
“Now now, I’m no mag-” you glare at him before he even finishes. “I- y-yeah let me see…” He holds his hand to his chin while looking at them. “Ain’t that red seal one an identify one? Pretty sure I saw it being sold as that in the magic shop I passed once, of course I didn’t buy it cause they were selling it for like a whole cow! Greedy bastards. I don’t know how exactly it works but it should give you sum m-a-g-i-c-a-l-l-y transfered knowledge over things close to your body.”
So an identify scroll? “How’s about the blue one then?” he squints at it “Uhh- I wouldn’t really know, sorry.” How disappointing. You put the scrolls back in your sack.
