The Selling Business
"That really was you?!!" The NPC exclaimed, looking at his blemished face suspiciously. "Why?! Why would a ghoul help me? What if you're trying to hurt Sprigfield!"
How does one reason with a powerful man driven by fear? Jack knew only one way, bullshit like there was no tomorrow!
"You see. Here's what happened…." He spoke with emotion, half-crying.
He shared the story of a brave man who had delved deep into the mine in order to find his missing friend. Their bond was so strong that he went in despite knowing the danger.
Alas, he was soon captured by dark elves.
The evil bastards ambushed him in the dark, and he never saw them coming. Only when they brought him to their dungeons did he manage to see their true appearance.
That's how he fell in the hands of a mad alchemist who needed guinea pigs to test his potions. He tried to resist, but he was force fed a vile concoction.
