Regarding Submission

[throg]

Now is not the time for second thoughts. Thou hast completed the difficult leg of thy journey! Now is the time for patience, and aye, reflection, but not for doubt.

Friendship is what overcomes the greatest challenges, and thou shalt always have me as thy friend. My arm is lent to yours, and together we will best our foes and help protect the City that thou hast come to know as home.

Remember - the hammer deems us Worthy.

Yeah! You can do it! And I bet you totally won't be ported to back home or to spooky crypts or get kidnapped by aliens or murdered!

[throg]

[Shielding his eyes, as if better to see into the gloom.]

We shall face what we must. Hast thou had these terrible things done onto you?

[clement]

That is a very noble message, Throg. I am sure you will do well in the City.

[throg]

Many thanks, friend. I hope to prove myself worthy.

What breed of noble creature art thou?

[yelloweyesdarksomething]

Well, I haven't been murdered.

Yes. You are correct. The hardest part is over. Waiting is not as hard.

The City will be an adventure. It will be fun.

[throg]

Thou hast been through much, my friend, but why is thou nervous of murder?

Are there many deaths, in the City?

[throg]

Though I can appreciate the adventure, it is the Duty that calls.

Duty, and, perhaps, a new home.

[whoneedsinformation]

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. What is your duty?

[A pause]

You do not have a home?

[yelloweyesdarksomething]

There's a lot of murder anywhere! But yes, um, there kinda is a lot of them.
