A foul beast appears! Ridden with disease and an insatiable hunger, it will be the death of the village! What do I do?

Tch, the hole is taller than me. I respect the hole and walk on, best to leave taller things alone.

Nice tunnel here. There were big waterways here before, sewers I guess. They ran the water from the Domicile down to here and out to the swamps.

I keep on down the tunnel for what feels like forever. It's pretty boring.

There's nowhere else to go. Big room and a... oh man, a Wobbler!

He doesn't stir. I'm going to go in there and kick his shit if he doesn't respond to me.

He's probably just asleep. Don't kick the shit out of the first person you see, you ass! You're just a lone Tall now. What makes you think you really have any authority anymore?

He probably just wobbled too much and fell over trying to stand up. You know how clumsy those two legged things were.

Ah! He stirs. Lazy Wobbler, laying around when I need assistance.

I guess he's lucid, looks a bit dreary to be honest.

Ahh fine. I give him a sniff. He smells like decay but otherwise I guess he's alright?

He makes these cute jittery noises at me, but I have no idea what he's saying.
>>
No. 464151 ID: 44f93b

>cute jittery noises at me
He's afraid of you. The noises translate as him asking you not to hurt him.

Maybe stop it with the aggressive teeth snarling, and try talking to him. Hopefully he knows your language, because you don't seem to know his.

Ask him where the Tall women at.
>>
No. 464158 ID: 886a4d

Oh hey wobblers are hooved too. I bet the reason they wobble is because they are really meant to go on all fours as well. I bet its to appear different enough from prey animals that Tall's eat. They are kind of bite-sized.

Tell him your name and that you are lost. Ask him whether he is willing to help you find the Domicile. Forcing people to do things isn't nice at all. A true king would command via respect and capability.

I bet the wobblers killed all the Talls. Slave revolt via poison \ assassination.
>>
No. 464173 ID: 6a1ec2

Waitasec. Why's this wobbler not making sense? Shouldn't he be talking like you? Try picking him up.
>>
No. 464310 ID: b33427

Put the teeth away, and stop looming over him so hard. Scaring him isn't going to help when you need his assistance.

Poke him in the back with your nose and ask where the rest of the Talls and Wobblers went; It's been so long since any were around.

this is the first time I've ever heard of a Wobbler even trying to talk to a Tall!

>>464158

"I am Thinyg, son of Thinyen. I am lost and require assistance. Guide me to the Domicile."

He hauls himself up and just kind of... looks at me. He has a lot of books, I bet his Tall was rich. I mean he's the first thing I've seen in forever and he even jittered at me!

Why isn't he assisting me?
>>
No. 464631 ID: f2c20c

I don't think he knows your language. I don't think he was ever a servant. Look around you! He's been living down here for ages. He's a scholar, not a slave.

Speaking of which, look around and see if you can recognize any of the texts here.

It's been four spins! If I wasn't so busy ridding the sands of foul beasts I could have this many nice things. We didn't keep slaves anyhow, the Wobblers WANTED our help, we kept them safe, even bred them so they had one nice horn instead of two!

I peer over at his shelf as he recovers. I... Hm. I can't read. We used Wobblers for that.
>>
No. 464653 ID: 44f93b

Obviously, this is a free wobbler. One your people never enslaved. He doesn't even know your language, that's why he doesn't follow your commands.

Stop expecting to have a master-slave relationship, and just treat it like a person. You jerk.

Strangely, we can. I'm not sure there's anything here that is worth having us slowly translate for you, though. Hmm, maybe "The Work of Gods". That's the one 3 left from the tilted book.

Oh, yeah, or that one. It's the one directly to the right of the tilted book.

No. 464682 ID: 6a1ec2

Guys guys. Wobblers aren't slaves. So they can't be freed. This is obviously one who hasn't seen anyone in 4 sweeps, so he's just nervous! Maybe they jitter when they're scared, and you just never saw one scared before because they're always safe at the Domicile. Until they started dying, uh.

Tiny short Wobbler SHOUTING at me! The nerve of that little pudgy-round! I'm only trying to better myself with knowledge.

Knowledge that he is hoarding down here all to himself! We could be the last two things ever and he won't even let me touch a book?

>>
No. 464920 ID: 44f93b

Well, you only have sharp hooves and sharp teeth to manipulate the books with. If civilization has fallen, books are going to be rare, expensive, and hard to replace. He's probably concerned you'll hurt them.

Besides, it's not like you can ready, anyways.

One day I won't be so crazy. I'm telling you, which is telling ME, which is fine. I'm just gonna kind of.... stay here. That was rude of me, I should have told you!

You. I don't even KNOW you, how silly is that! You're shorter than me though, right? Weh, I need water. Why don't you use your silly magical SHORT voice for water? Be useful.

YAY! You're not giving up! I'm happy for that. Okay... What now? Um... We gotta magic voice? Really? I don't feel magical. Um, we'll give it a try.

Okay, here goes: Summon water! Create water! Water, appear! Need some water here! Water, come! Here, water water water! WATER! WATERWATERWATER! ...Okay, maybe more specific... Uh... RIVER! LAKE! AQUIFER! GEYSER! SPRING?! Pond? Puddle, maybe? Okay, okay... OH! Rain! RAIN! RAINSTORM! THUNDERSTORM! SNOW-no that's stupid. MONSOON, DAMMIT!!

Thinyg, you can work on getting out while we yell at the universe until it relents. Plant your rear hooves on the solid-ground squirm body up. Crook your front legs over to press on the sand. Even if it doesn't work it'll get your head up higher before the dunes suffocate you.
