OOC:
I wrote in Tiptoe's history that he had fed most of the garbage in the town to nearby otyughs. However, I'm not sure how much Tiptoe would really know of their practices, so I'll assume he doesn't have any idea, really.
I can make a wilderness check, if you want it.
I didn't actually notice until just now that Dagger had a rat familiar. We have a rat-pack of sorts... weird stuff
Tiptoe pauses, looking up to Faust.
he can cast spells. Much like me... but not quite like me... odd
Biting his lip, he considers asking Faust how he learned, but decides against it.
it was personal for me, it might be personal for him, too. I can't ask... not yet.
As Faust speaks, Tiptoe cocks his head and furrows his brow a bit.
otyog... I thought it was otyugh. Surely he would know better than me... it can't hurt, anyway...
"garbage goes to the... otyogs," he says, stumbling a bit over the words. He shrugs; it seemed clear enough to him.
As Faust talks of lizards, elementals, and demons, Tiptoe closes his eyes, shutting out his imagination as he shuts out his eyes.
"they aren't dangerous, not fed ones."
He takes a moment, looking to the trash piles, then back to Faust.
"there's a lot of food here... but not the kind they like..." he turns to Faust, quivering with a trace of fear in his eyes "i'd not like to fight an otyugh... ah... otyog."
Tiptoe attempts a smile, keeping his lips over his teeth somewhat in an attempt to hide a few missing teeth.
best not to linger here, in any case
"we go?"
Tiptoe will take as forward a position as possible, he feels somewhat reassured by his surroundings, and afterall it would be best to be brave while the only enemy is the dark ahead of them. Tiptoe will advance down the stairs if they'll follow, trying to keep out of the way of the light spell's range so Faust can see, but also moving slowly enough to keep his footing steady on the stairs.
OOC:
Haha WhatKu: I had a great thought.
If everyone dies but tiptoe I will be sure to have him bury you all (well, the parts that don't go to the rats), and begin a new life in the caves.
