“We do not welcome you in Ansssvell, ssstrangersss; too many of my people have ssssuffered. If you want to take a ressst here, look for a plassse to ssse eassst, near ssse ruinssss. You ssshould be sssave ssssere!”
“Thank you for your offer; be assured that we shall respect your wishes.”
“Show some respect, you puny newt!”
“I hope you will never leave sssse sssswamp; sssat way, we will be able to plassse our eggssss in your rotting corpssssesss.”
“But we need your help!”
“We help no one, becaussse no one helpssss ussss.”
“Guess we’re stuck then; thanks anyway.”
“No thanks, we’re wise to that little trick. Go help yourselves; we do.”
They are quite obviously attempting to avoid you.
“And what if we were to help you?”
The Lizard Man looks at you for a long time, then he turns to his people and they converse for a while in a language that sounds more like the hissing of a snake and the gurgle of swamp water than recognizable words to your ears. When he turns back toward you, his facial expression is unchanged, but the green color of his dorsal crest has darkened appreciably.
“In ssse middle of sse sssswamp, easssst of here, sssere issss a big monsssster sssat eatsss a lot of our eggssss. Kill it, and we will help you.”
With that, he turns away, and the Lizard Men disperse.
When you return to the village, a congregation of Lizard Men is waiting for you. The village chief, whose crest shows a dark green hue, looks at you and says:
