There is, actually! Obber seems like someone who’s in touch with what goes on in the Docks… has he heard anything about a ‘<span class="mu-r">CULT OF THE WORM?</span>’
Roused from his thoughts, the Gnok raises an eyebrow your way. “Eh? Cults? Not really–Temple Guard’s been cracking down on those for as long as I can remember. Why?”
Well, you begin, not keen on telling him how most of the gear you’re currently wearing came from a beheaded Gnok, you just heard about it and thought ‘you know what? Obber seems like someone who’s in touch with what goes on in the Docks’. Like, you thought that verbatim!
Obber's eye twitches a bit as your words sink in. “So what, just cuz’ I’m a Gnok you thought you’d ask me about <span class="mu-i">Cults</span>? Is that it!?
Well… <span class="mu-i">yea</span>.
“Sorry, friend–haven’t heard anything about it!” Shrugs the warehouse worker, the anger swiftly draining from his demeanor! “Can’t imagine that’d be good for business, though–Cults have this nasty habit of trying to upset the status quo… or end the world.”
“Not that those are mutually exclusive!” Agrees Tzah-Tzie as she stands up and balances on the counter!
“Ha! Ya’ ain’t wrong! Now get the Hells off my counter or I’ll break your leg.”
“You got it~”
“If you wanna track down cults, though, I’d check taverns and alchemy shops,” Obber suggests with a click of his sharp teeth, “Easy to hide in plain sight when everyone’s drinking and cults are always shopping for ritual components. That’s my analysis, anyways!”
It’s hardly a lead, but it’s better than what you started with! As you go to ask Obber something else, you’re interrupted by a violent bubbling from deeper in the warehouse!
“Hells! Gotta check on that, friend, but once you get that Scheckt I can work on that order!”
As the Gnok slinks back into the maze of shelving behind the counter, Volka instinctively grabs TT and ferries her to the exit, though not without the usual amount of protesting!
Dock 33 awaits… and so does this <span class="mu-i">other</span> Obber!
