>>5300365You ask Pin if the bioluminescent mushrooms are edible. He asks you if you're an idiot. You fresh from the spawning ground or something? Everyone knows that the mushrooms just make you glow and give you diarrhea. Anyway, it doesn't matter if your pathetic surfacedweller eyes can't see down here, because he can see just fine, and he'll bring you to where you need to go, you great dumb overgrown meatwad.
You don't trust this guy, and you don't appreciate his attitude, so you make him a little more useful by forcefeeding him a handful of mushroom, turning him into a portable nightlight. Then you chase his fungal snack with a quaff of Ooze-O. Pin is a lot more compliant once he's got a stomachful of fermented sewage juice.
>>5295826With your unwilling traveling companion rendered docile, you stick out a thumb as a minecart train rumbles through. You come face to face with one of the disturbing denizens of this realm - this one has the distinct smell of the fish market at 4 PM.
You ask the piscine pilot if you can bum a ride. He responds with some kind of burbling language that you can't figure out. The two of you do some impromptu charades until you determine that he'll let you on if you can make it worth his while.
What do?
>Give him some items he might want>Shell out (your wallet. Unfortunately, you don't have any actual shells, which you suspect this guy might appreciate.)>Shove the fishman into the abyss and hijack his cart>Something else?
