… but as these thoughts cross your mind, it just so happens that one of the dwarves voices his support for you - it’s George. And he looks in much better shape now, thanks to the priests' magical aid.
“Coof… coof… the tribal has nothing to do with the demonic possession, ma’am.” You notice he’s missing a few teeth as he speaks. Looks like the punch left some permanent marks. He points at Kholgarsh, who responds by silently averting his eyes - almost like he's embarrassed. “That digger went crazy and punched me outta nowhere after the gnoll healed the rabbette with his powers. She got beaten by Kholgarsh over some dumb nonsense, and the guy got pissed by seeing the tribal help her out. That must be when the demon took over him." He sighs. "Dude’s been in a real bad mood after his sons’ death, but that’s no excuse for what he’s done... it’s no excuse.”
“Yup! That’s exactly what happened!” the servant Ruby intervenes. “Many of you can attest what Kholgarsh did... especially the cowardly guards who watched as he attacked the Champion’s friend!” She gives the armed dwarves a disdainful look, placing her hands on her hips.
The guards are infuriated by her remarks, even though they are completely true. Funnily enough, one of them is pathetic enough to try and excuse their behavior. “Cowardly...? Those were *cautionary* measures, rabbit! Besides, we aren’t risking our necks to save a lowly gnoll! Right, guys?!”
"Yeah!" the other guards say, nodding to each other.
“Hmph! Dumb humielets…” she says to herself, shaking her head. You caught that comment thanks to your big ears.
