Thomas Hobbes

"Ahhh, ca-niiines," says Coom contemplatively, leaning forward to rub Shilo's head, "a man's best friend, to be suuure." He winks at Kirin. "Or possibly a gnooomes." Leaning back, he continues "Also favoored of cer-tain minoor divinities." He prounounces it Deee-vin-a-ties. "It is said that the god Mongrel walks the earth as a stray doog when it suits his faancy."
"In any case, my bonny booy," he says to Rillian in a voice pitched to carry to the whole bar, finally coming to the questions of the assembled adventurers, "my friend's tale, I'm sorry to say, is a sad one." Here he seems to genuinely lose much of his cheeriness. "It is the tale, my friennnds, of the disadvantaged bein' takin' advantaged of in a most craass and ungentlemanly waaay, and they had no where to turn but me, and I, finding myself lacking, have coome to yoou."
"The long and the short of it is that a band of hooly-gans are terrorizing what are colloquially called the slums of our fine cityy, and the pooor honest folk there have no re-course but the charity of you fine people heere." He pauses in his tale to take a drink, and, the perceptive might note, to see what effects his words are having on his audience.
