'Bring her to the core room Slax, Guzzle if your willing could you act as an escort?' I ask gently while I watch the lizardkin woman collapse in tears, her shoulders shaking in silence as the mimic lifts her onto its trunk and leads both lizard to my core room. Watching the trio moving I notice Slax staring at this Myra woman worriedly as they finally get to my cores passage and soon stand before .
"This be my good friend Myra, she be the only other scalekin that these monsters be having as a slave. What they done to her...Kyle....I never be askin' much from you....but this....we must kill them all...we must be salting the earth and making them not even a mory." Slax whispers angrily, the venom and hatred in his voice causing Tilly to flinch.
"Explain what they've done first Slax. We can't just eliminate a whole starting village in a safe zone we acknowledge. We need a reason against Kyle as the dungeon for us to wipe them out." Tilly explains as Slax glares at her before taking a deep breath and letting out a frustrated sigh.
"Myra be what lizardkin call a lightcaster aning she be a powerful woman who represents a village, town, city, or even country of our race. She gains skills quickly, she be smart and quick to adapt. But Myra, she not be wantin' that status, nor be wanting power or fa. She be kind and helpful to a fault, but most importantly she be one of the few of us who focused on art. We scalekin regardless of our species all focus on so form of knowledge, whether it be war, wisdom, or survival but few care for art. Myra was a songstress, a healing bard, her voice be having the power to bring those at the brink back from deaths embrace. She would sing to the slaves and heal them after beatings, tend to the children, and even take punishnts in the weaker ones places." Slax explains coldly as he stares at the woman's neck, faint scars barely visible under the multiple chains piercing her scaled skin.
"She was taken by the bandit king, said she be useful as a tool. Treated well, given higher status than even his leaders. He swore an oath to us all that she be respected and safe. But they lie! You be seeing her state! Chains in her throat, sealing her voice! Forced to work for scum! They be oathbreakers! We don't be needing to work with their kind!" Shouts the geckonian as the lizardkin walks behind him and gently pats his head, small tears dropping from her eyes as she smiles at him sadly.
"We could try to heal her voice Slax. We have dungeon magic at our disposal plus with our new bosses I'm sure one of them could have an idea of where to start. But as right as you are until they break their oath to us we can't murder them. We will however increase the difficulty for their more....seasoned people." Tilly says happily with an evil glint in her eyes.
'Myra would you like to join us here in the dungeon? We can't offer you a boss position but your welco to research and live peacefully until we get you fixed up.' I say gently as the lizardkin kneels in front of and nods her head excitedly.
'Good then follow Slax, he'll show you around after you accept the pact offer. We also have to talk to soone and figure so stuff out.' I say happily as I watch the pair head deeper into the living area's.

"You guys hear about that group who were wiped on the new floor? Apparently the Boss Bandit is pissed because they stole his prized slave and brought it with them." Says Elrick as he picks his teeth with one of his daggers, his other hand holding a mug of ale in a private room of the newly built inn.
"You an the pretty pink lizard lady? She was always so nice to everyone! I hope the dungeon made them suffer for it!" Shouts Jenny with a slur as she spills her mug on herself, a squeak coming from her as she stands and falls over.
"Jen thats not even beer, how are you this clumsy! Ha, anyways should we go into the dungeon tomorrow and try again? We almost beat Spooky this ti and we even found so treasure too." Laughs Chunk as he tears into a leg of boar, everyone wincing around him.
As the group laughs and jokes with each other the small girl with the Al-Miraj sits in the corner, smiling happily before her eyes glaze over and she frowns angrily.
"Hey guys, instead of the dungeon I think we should do sothing else instead. Plus if we do it right I think we could get a ton of experience from a quest!" Sarah says happily as she pets her bunny, a cold glint in the girls eye as she shares the quest she just received from Kyle.
{Dungeon Quest Received! Vengeance- It has been found that the inhabitants of the dungeons safe zone are acting cruelly and viscously against potential allies of the dungeon! You've been tasked in the freeing and retrieval of key creatures/people to be brought to the dungeon for safekeeping! You may share this quest with a party of up to 6. Accept or Decline?}
