Slime Salad

Sounds good to me.

What're you trying now, and what is it doing that's inadequate?

Sensing that they've gone just about as far down the rope of lies as they can sensibly go, Zoogy decides to wrap things up while they've got the chance. And you never thought of spelunkers, delvers, explorers, or geologists did you? We lost good men on this expedition, and for what? Because you can'...

Good deal.

I'm trying to figure a good response here, but it's been so long I don't remember. Did we bypass a locked door? And if so, like... how long ago was that? If I say we didn't do it and we were just following the cave when we hit this thing, how believable is that going to be?

Spittle decides to keep his eyes open for an approaching threat, and hopefully off of the impromptu barbecue being planned and discussed behind him. Madness.

You know, we never had this problem at sea. Can't we just throw him out a window or something?

Zoogy tries her best to comfort this strange man, as even she's a bit confused at the current series of events. Your concerns are duly noted and will be taken up with our board of conduct. My first question is what could these kobold slaves, who you've already admitted are agents of your employer, w...

Zoogy quietly defers to Kolobor's judgement and follows his lead.

I think all our eyes could use a break, old friend. Sometimes I forget how taxing this job can be.

This is going way too fast. Zoogy decides to bide for time, see if they can get this guy to spill anything useful. With all due respect, we need to finish our survey first. It wouldn't do for us to have our little pow-wow while an unauthorized dig is giving an entire city block a Dwarven makeover, w...

Ahh, the stories that a man's eyes can tell. Zoogy decides to land and become visible, pacing a weaving path, in and out from behind her assorted allies. Time to spin a web of lies... What my friend means to ask is, what information can you offer us? We're with the Geological Survey, here to investi...

Since she doesn't feel like getting all handsy to determine if this guy is secretly armed, Zoogy decides she'll poke around a bit and see if he's got backup hidden around a corner. He's definitely got some reason to be so calm.

Spittle watches the retreating skeleton with curiosity.

I never heard of a skeleton with a sense of self preservation before.

This is an awesome idea for a contest and come January I'm totally in.

Zoogy just watches for now, but is curious what angle this human is trying to work. She gives him the once over, looking for any clues in his dress or mannerisms that would give her a clue of his affiliation or motivation.

Spittle's ashamed of himself for having retreated and arguably let this happen. In light of the new urgency of things, he's gonna step to that spooky man and go down swingin.
