CHAPTER FOUR
Third - Vish must get trapped explosion boxes from somewhere and get as many humans as possible to blow themselves up.
I was feeling good now and things were progressing nicely, so I was due for a snag. I couldn't find trapped boxes anywhere. Usually, I'd run up to a human and say "Ug!" (hello), and that was the end. They'd either run or start fighting. Don't get me wrong. Normally, that is what I'm going for but at this time I had a task to complete. Each time was different, but I'll mention one encounter for this story.
I saw two humans in a small house. Now I'm not asking what they were doing in there because I don't care if they are breeding or what. Of course there was a horse in there too. Humans.... Anyway, I knocked on the door. The human hopped upon his horse and rode it outside. I explained that I needed the boxes and made him an offer.
Har. If I leared anything on my quest it was that humans LOVE to make counter offers. Usually involving a lot of talking about how they will kill me. Everywhere I go, same song and dance. This human had a horse so my tactic was to fight, chase him away and then hide while slapping on a bandage. Once healed the next round would start.
This time it was a draw. Neither one of us fell, and the human just left in the middle of it. Perhaps he was urgently needed back in his house. *shrugs*
So, long story short (too late, I know) I found what I was looking for in Yew of all stinking places. I really didn't want to use vendors but I seemed to have no choice.
It look quite a long time but now I was ready for some fun! HOOWAH!!!
Actualy, it went fast. Humans are mush heads. You know that already, but some proof is coming up. I found two humans on a road.
One ran away. One remained. The remaining one wasn't in the mood for talking. I set up a nice trap but this human took the gold and attacked!
The fight lasted a while and was not helping me complete my quest. I started trying to box him in with the trapped boxes. I was pretty sure he wouldn't fall for it but perhaps I could lead him to believe thats why I carried all of these boxes. In the end... Human 1 Vish 0.
I waited there as a ghost for a bit. The human took all of my things and just when I expected him to run off he ressed me. I thanked him for that and he hid. Some of my things (see also junk) started appearing on the ground and I realized he was digging through my stuff. That is, until he checked one of the trapped boxes!!! HAR!
This human must not have been real happy about it because he didn't want a res and never came back for his things. An idea came to me. I would make a new trap for the next human with things from the first human. But before I could get started another human showed up.
This guy isn't falling for it. It was time to sweeten the pot.
This panzy ran away but he came back once he thought I was gone. He looked through the bag of victim #1's belongings. He took some, then grabbed the box and ran! But...he just had to look and so he didn't get far...
This human also would not return or show for a res so I collected the first humans things (the 2nd had nothing but low level scrolls) and moved my trap to a new area. I hadn't gone far when I saw the panzy humie from earlier (on the road). The human was banging like a Trog'r or Mak'r does (blacksmithy). I tried to get him to trust me by offering to purchase a spear from him.
This guy was cautious...he attacked me from the porch but wouldn't leave it. Thinking a bit, I came up with a new plan. I said that I had to leave for a bit and I put some things on the ground. I asked him to keep them safe for me. I put an explosion box, the 1st humans things, and some gold on the ground and ran off and hid. Predictably, it took about 5 seconds for this guy to get his brother to take my things!
This one is no idiot however. He drags the box into a small house and uses the eyebandee magic on me. I can no longer enter the home. Then he didn't open the box. WHAT THE SKAH!! ARE YOU NOT CURIOUS??? OPEN THE BOX YOU STINKING HUMAN!!!
But Vlad does not. So on to plan #3. I start to give tribute to the human. He is quite confused by this strategy.
Now I have him right where I want him. I began to talk to the human about this and that. He began to understand me some. It turned out he owned all of the huts in this clearing. The human was now talking a lot. He trusted me now...maybe he thinks we could be friends. This is what I was looking for. Just after helping him slay an Ogre I tried a new tactic.
That's right. I just straight up told him to open it. Why not? OPEN THE BOX DUMBHEAD!!
He did!! Har. This time I was ready and scribbled a picture of it.
I can't put my finger on it...but for some reason I kind of liked that last human. He would make a great slave.
Well, three seemed like enough to me. I considered this task completed. Two more to go!!
