[QUOTE="Dekana, post: 3978199, member: 57009"] Slisik sees no reason not to be cooperative. As far as he can remember, he hasn't yet committed any crimes in human lands. Therefore, he should be able to answer the questions truthfully to get inside the city walls. [COLOR=Green]"My name is Slisik."[/COLOR] he begins. He does not introduce Jabsis, who is curled up inside his backpack at the moment. [COLOR=Green]"I've come to the city to conduct business, and to rest after a season of work. As for how long I'm staying, I haven't decided yet. I would guess more than a fortnight at least."[/COLOR] [COLOR=Green]"I have worked with these humans for little less than half a year now." "I give worship to Semuanya, patron Goddess of my ancestors." [/COLOR] Slisik looks down at his new banded mail, which he obviously looks uncomfortable wearing. [COLOR=Green]"I had the armor crafted recently in the nearby forest."[/COLOR] [i]...What does he care about my armor?[/i] [COLOR=Green]"It looks good on me, yes?"[/COLOR] [color=green]"I have been to the saltmarsh, but not for many seasons. I was visiting a relative, a priest of the forests. Sadly, he was slain by the denizens of his own forest. The foolish reptile angered a pack of shocker lizards, it was really quite tragic."[/COLOR] There seems to be some truth to this story, but a person carefully watching Slisik might get the impression that he either exaggerated or completely fabricated the circumstances of his fellow dragonborn's death. [COLOR=Green]"Sadly no, I'm not carrying any raw meat. I haven't feasted on such delights for far too long." "I seldom have nightmares, but when I do, they are always about the destruction of my village. Not that it is this human's [i]business[/i], but the dreams are about my people being cut down by goblins, crying to me to end their suffering."[/COLOR] [COLOR=Green]"Unfortunately I have killed a dragon, quite recently."[/COLOR] Slisik holds up the claw he hacked off as proof. He doesn't mention story behind his armor, figuring if the guard doesn't recognize its value already, then he doesn't need to advertise himself to robbers. [color=green]"I have not been killed, nor injured by foul undead." "I do not carry torches, although I have the ability to conjure magical light." "I carry coin worth about 90 platinum pieces. The dragon I mentioned was quite wealthy. Where were they minted? I do not know your terms. I thought money was money."[/COLOR] Slisik says this honestly, not often dealing with human currency in his swamp homeland. [COLOR=Green]"I haven't seen anything I want yet.
