>"The previous group had a empty piece of parchment. We should take another look."Jorn nods
<span class="mu-b">"Yeah yeah! That's a whole thing. Best I can figure, trolls -especially solo ones make sure to never have all their goods in one place. Like- any time they have spare supplies, they hide it somewhere for a rainy day. And lets face it, it's bucketing on Edgewater these days."</span>
Highballs ears perk up
<span class="mu-g">"Buried treasure?"</span>
<span class="mu-b">"Booty!"</span>
Jorn smacks her own behind for emphasis.
You look over your shoulder as the three of you walk back to the previous spot.
>"This guy had the same transmog as Boris, right. Edgewater must have had a whole batch. Do you think we might run into Corvid and Rhinocerotid variants?"Jorn thinks into her fist
<span class="mu-b">"Man, I HOPE not. The transmogs he had weren't up to code and for every person successfully transformed, there will be five the potion would just kill. That said, he's good at acquiring more staff. Let's hope that worst case scenario he has like one more spider, one more rhino. Yeah."</span>
You come to a stop. The corpse with the paper is being picked over.
The two goblins initially hiss and draw their weapons but hesitate when they see HIghball.
One of them starts clicking and chittering at Highball, who responds flatly in the same language.
The cutpurse points to the corpse and clicks and makes small yawning sounds.
Highball nods.
Cutpurse makes a tutting noise and shakes their head and gestures at the corpse multiple times with one of its daggers. They sound irritated.
Highball gestures to you and speaks flatly. She gestures to Jorn and does the same. Highball says something that ends with a hiss but the cutpurse shrugs and twirls their knives before adding some more clicking.
Highball turns to you
<span class="mu-g">"This is gonna go one of three ways, Joe. We can fight them, spook them or get some sort of trade happening. What do you think?"</span>
>a. It's two cutpurses. If they want a fight they've got it.>b. We can scare them off.>c. I am a business man first. Let's talk trade.First to 2
