You are Grem, weak Kobold. You want to become Grem, Mighty Wizard. How does Grem become Wizard? Grem not know. Even then, Grem will still reach for their dreams of wizards and ducks!

Grem is currently standing in Kobold den, right between the biting rock, the sleeping pile and the moss. There are many other Kobolds here. Outside Grem can hear mean Gnolls shout to other Kobolds. Mean Gnolls want Kobolds to gather shiny rock from other hole in big rock. Many kobolds never come back from hole. Dark hole very scary. Grem will be wizard so they can remove hole and Gnolls.

But how Grem become mighty wizard? Grem hear many stories about mighty wizards but never how to grow into one. But Grem not give up, Grem just need to find where to start looking for wizards.

What Grem do?

Screw the wizards! Do a science!
Experiment with stuff, but remember your findings. Alter whatever you try a little with each new attempt until you figure out what works.

Check moss jar to see if any weird moss in there to eat. If ti's weird then it must be wizardly!

Eat moss. Get smart.

Annex all moss stores and declare yourself the Moss King. The other kobolds must pay you for moss in shiny rocks which you will use tot fund your education.

Eat Moss. Can't start a Great Endeavour on an empty stomach.

Yes Science, the best magic! Just apply thing to thing and see what happens, such as apply water to moss and get moss water. Seek out strange new things to mix and then you will know strange new things. Like a wizard!

Wizards have a stick and a hat and probably a small animal friend. Grem must acquire these things.

>>1111306
Drink all of the moss water.

achieve mastery over the primordial element of fire

Seek a place of power and commune with the moss.

you will need to find a stick and a pointy hat. Looks like you already got the bath robe so you're already a 3rd of the way there.

>Eat moss. Get smart.
You consume the moss. Moss is tasty, therefore it must make you smart. That is how it works. Grem also find moss with odd mushrooms growing on it. That is weird. Weird means it must be wizardly!

Grem got great idea! Eat moss and drink moss water until Grem is biggest kobold! Than Grem can be moss king and make other kobold pay for moss! Grem so smart!

Sadly, moss warden is stronger kobold than Grem. Throw out Grem from den and revoke Grem’s moss privileges for two sunrises. No more moss for Grem. Grem sad.

>Screw the wizards! Do a science!
What kind of magic is science? Grem not know.
>Just apply thing to thing and see what happens, such as apply water to moss and get moss water.
Grem successfully applied ground to face. This resulted in pain. Grem not fond of pain.
>Achieve mastery over the primordial element of fire.
Grem seen other kobolds hit rocks together to make fire. Grem tried, but only made funny noise.

…clearly Grem not a good science wizard. Grem better aim to be normal wizard instead.

>Wizards have a stick and a hat and probably a small animal friend. Grem must acquire these things.
And orb! Do not forget orb to ponder. Grem already have animal friend. Their name is Rock. They are Rock. Rock is Grem’s bestes friend in the whole world. Now, where will Grem find big stick staff, big hat and shiny orb?
>Seek a place of power and commune with the moss.
Moss for eating, not talking. Talking to moss sound like Flower sniffer magic, not wizard magic. Grem still want to find place of power, but Grem not know where such a place would be?

Grem thinks about the world around him…

Up is the scary hole... and behind it, there are very tall mountains. Gnoll say troll lives up there.

Right of hole there is den… with also mountains behind it.

Left is Gnoll home. Grem not know what behind Gnoll home because Gnolls are mean.

Down is lake. They say there are big monster in lake so Grem never crossed it.

Down right there are deep woods… and behind woods there is swamp. Many kobold stories say a witch lives there. Very scary!

Down left is the not deep woods. Very nice place. Many berries and birds to eat. Also moss. But after woods there is human town. Human even meaner than Gnolls, poke Kobolds with sharp sticks until Kobolds sleeps forever. Very mean.

Hmm… where should Grem go?

>>1111320
Go to the lake and make a pact with the denizens of the depths for mosspower

>>1111320
Witches know magic! Go ask her how to be a wizard.

Go to the lake, find stick.

swamps have moss! and glowing things, which are the most magical.

We can easily find a suitable stick to show the witch to show we’re serious about learning magic while we’re going through the woods to get to the swamp! We can even ask her if the stick we find is good for wizarding!

>>1111325
Yes!
Find mighty wizard stick.
Tie things to end to make it magic.
Then we need big hat and bigger beard.
Moss would make a good beard.
Then witch will take us seriously.

Can give her weird mushrooms as gift.
Witches like mushrooms.

Go to Gonll home and enjoy reading his quests

To power a wizard staff and orb you must master the five elements:
Water, air, fire, earth, and Milla Jovovich.

Once you have learned how to control this five elements, you will gain dominion over everything that makes up the world. And get a redhead girlfriend.

Go forth to the mysterious "back of gnolls' place" to start your dominion of the element of earth. the back of a mountain has a lot of earth.

Go to swamp and find swamp witch! She might help you become wizard!

>>1111320
Woods! To visit swamp witch!

A witch is like a girl wizard but with mushrooms and frogs, while wizards get beards and towers. they both get pointy hats and orbs and sticks though so they’re basically the same thing.

Go see the witches. Maybe they can tell you about something even better to eat than moss to become the biggest and smartest kobold.

to the swamp! the woods will let you find stick and witch might help teach you magic. And if not then witch still has pointy hat that you can grab to help you become wizard.

Down right. Witches can be scary, but we need to visit a magic place to learn about or gain magic.

>>1111320
To the lake, since whatever is living there has probably lived long enough to be able to teach you some kind of magic, but probably as a reward for some kind of quest.

>A witch is like a girl wizard but with mushrooms and frogs, while wizards get beards and towers. They both get pointy hats and orbs and sticks though so they’re basically the same thing.
The best way for Grem to be wizard is to learn from wizard. Witch almost wizard, so Grem can learn from them too. Maybe Grem even is Witch? Who knows!
>We can easily find a suitable stick to show the witch to show we’re serious about learning magic while we’re going through the woods to get to the swamp!
The deep woods are dark and scary, but there should be big sticks there… and maybe moss too?

MOSS!? And glowing things!? All of Grems dreams are coming true!

Grem runs into the deep, dark woods, trying their best to go down on map. But Grem has to turn and climb and crawl and walk over logs and go through bushes and suddenly Grem not know which way is down no more.

Grem is horribly lost.

At least there is a lot of moss here. Grem eat moss until no more moss fits in Grem. Grem also save some moss for moss warden, to repay moss debt. Grem very happy.

Grem wonder why no other kobolds go here to eat moss?

”WHO DARESIE ENTER THEM REALMS OF THE WOODSIES LORD!?” an extremely deep, bellowing voice rings out right behind Grem, ”Only foolsie of flesh and bone bes stupid enough!”

Grem now know why other kobold not go in deep woods.

Grem also no longer full with moss.

Tell this lord that you are Trip-wood, Mighty Wizard.

Then start eating his mossy fingers.

>>1111384
"Hi I'm Grem!"

Call bluff
Kick the skull

wait, is he made of moss? does that mean you can eat him?

Those are some pretty eyes. Also, this is definitely a magical being.

Bow politely and introduce yourself. You were not told this forest was owned, nor did you expect to meet royalty.

I get a feeling if we eat the moss from this creature, it’ll just turn it’s not-moss head and chomp on us instead! It’s best to be polite! Inform the Lord of the Woodsies that we were on our way to the swamp when we lost our way. If he would kindly point us in the right direction, we’ll be off his land in no time~

Employ the original kobold strategy: Suck-up to the biggest strongest guy.
Also, a Lord needs a Court Wizard.
Maybe if you tell them you want to be a wizard, they can point you in the right direction, and then you can come back and be their wizard once you know how?

>>1111384
We came here to become a creature of magic and moss. Commune with the moss.

>>1111383
Actually can we be a witch instead? Beards are tacky and I like touching frogs.

Toss Grem into the creature’s mouth.

Omg New friend
Explain your quest in detail but make sure to use no punctuation at all and do it in one straight sentence and also complement him on being very handsome and mossy and can you have a taste unless that's weird because you don't want to make it weird and...

"I Grem wizard-to-be, and I be WISE enough!"

Ask it how it grew so big boned and mossy. Promise you'll do a task in exchange for it sharing its wisdom.

>>1111384
Grem have no flesh Grem have scales. Grem have bone though.

Introduce yourself as Grem and say you're trying to become a mighty wizard. Surely, nothing could go wrong.

Tell the woodsie lord you are gremsie.

Grem touch big nose of moss creature to ensure it hear Grem.

GREM: "BOOP!”
Kobblav: ”...what.”
GREM: "Hi I'm Grem!"
Kobblav: ”Bes you not afraidsie?”
GREM: "You moss friend! Grem like new friends!” Grem rubs the snout of the creature, “Also, Grem want to be in good grace with big boss monster like lord!”
Kobblav: ”Grem bes a stranges creatures. Other koboldsie be cowering and fleeing the woodsies.” the creature looks Grem up and down, as if it is searching for something, ”And bes not Lord, but simply Kobblav, guardiansie of Woodsies in Lords name.”
GREM: "Oh. Hi Kobblav! I’m Grem!” once again, Grem boops their snoot, “Weak kobold soon to be Mighty Wizard!”
Kobblav: ”Wizard? Kobold? Bes be strangers one indeed.” it gently grabs Grem and lifts them closer, ”But why mightysie wizard be in woodsie?”
GREM: "Grem look for swamp witch so Grem can learn magic!" Grem happily says, “Also, Grem try and find big, magic stick!” Taking a movement to look around, Grem solemnly whispers, “But Grem lost and no stick found. Grem sad.”
Kobblav: ”Sticksie of the woodsie? And witchsie of mire? Bes the fool or just dumb?”

Kobblav: ”But bes can be of use to Kobblav and woodsie Lord.” the creature rubs their chin, ”Kobblav bes in need of thingsies outside woodsie, yes?”
GREM: ”OH! Grem is going on quest!?” the kobold cheerfully shouts, “Grem loves quest!”
Kobblav: ”Kobolds be more beast than man, only use stick and eatsie moss, but the manfools and beastmen bes diffrentsie. Too much man and too little beast in those foolsie.”
GREM: ”…Kobblav mean Gnoll?”
Kobblav: ”That bes name used by flesh and bone foolsies, yes.” the creature looks down on the kobold, its expression suddenly serious, ”Manfools and beastfools bes harming the woodsies with iron claws that cleave, teeth that bite and fire that burns. Kobblav wishesie for one of these claws or teeths!”
GREM: ”…Moss friend want human teeth and gnoll claws?”
Kobblav: ”Their iron tools, foolsie Grem! The sticks with the sharpsie iron on one end, that the beastmen and manfools uses to bring down the woodsies for their nests and fires.” the creature mimics a chopping motion, ”Grem bring Kobblav an iron tool from either manfool or beastman, an old one, one well used that has killed many brethren and sisters, and Kobblav will reward Grem with Magic Staff, yes?”
GREM: ”Kobblav give big stick for metal tooth thingy?”
Kobblav: ”Yes, yes! Bring Kobblav metal claw of those that harm woodsie and Kobblav reward kobold.” Kobblav looks around, as if it’s trying to spot something hidden among the trees, ”Now, where did kobold saysie be going? Bes be sure about swamp? Very big danger for Kobold and witchsie not very kindsie, yes?”

Hmm… we seem to have a magic staff locked down, and it’d be hard to learn how to do magic from the witch without one. I think we take a detour for our fetch quest~ Hmm… where to go to get an axe though… entering the town seems out of the question, but perhaps we could check the outskirts of the woods near the village? Woodsmen usually go to the woods to get their woods, after all. Perhaps we will be a lucky kobold and happen across an axe left unattended?

>>1111565
How could someone who touches frogs as a career be unkind? Commune with the witchies, ask for help to not fall asleep if you get poked while bringing iron to the great moss creature.

Maybe one day your wizard magic will let you ascend to such a magnificent form.

guess you could head towards the human or gnoll villages to grab iron thing.

As a MIGHTY WIZARD, we are also very Sneaky, a MIGHTY WIZARD trait that we decided just now. Head towards the forest edge closest to the human town and find some humans that cut trees and sneak in to grab a Metal-tipped stick thingie object.

Of course the witch is unfriendly, thats why she lives in a swamp. Which is why Grem needs a magic stick, to show he is serious about learning so she will know not to be unfriendly to him.

Go spy on the humans, they must leave their iron things somewhere when they aren't using them.

>>1111565
The witch is mean? Oh no, she won't want to teach us then. Ask where else you can find a teacher. One of the humans maybe?

>>1111565
Frend.

Grem should help get sharpmetal stick and reward of magicstaff.

The witch be respecting grem as serious.
Can maybe get a moss beard too.

>>1111608
Good idea. Witch will respect Grem if Grem is important servant of Woodsie Lord.

Magic stick will show magic witch that Grem is friend.

Grem go find metal teeth tool.

If Grem is to show witch Grem is friend and very serious about being best wizard, Grem need stick to show Grem is friend with woodsie creature. So Grem better go find metal claw tool and bring it back to moss friend!

Grem bid farewell to Kobblav and leave big scary forest, taking the path near the river that goes toward scary humans instead. Grem sings funny song as they prance away towards new adventure!

Still, Grem needs to find an orb to ponder and a big hat to wear to be proper wizard… Grem not know where though…

About halfway to human den Grem smell something good. Being sneaky Grem sneak through bushes and grass towards the smell and find… a small campfire right next to the lake.

There is three smoked fishies hanging from a wooden thing… and the fire is nothing but embers. Did someone leave fishies here for Grem to eat?

Grem still hungry after all, even after eating moss.

Grem’s pocket:
-Stone Friend.
-Moss.
-More Moss.

>>1112060
Maybe someone just forgot they put the fish there. Better look around and ask them if they're still around!

Swap fish for moss. They’ll never notice.

>>1112060
Partaketh not of the fish! 'Twould taint thine mossy temple.

look towards the water, is the fishermen still out there?

>>1112060
Do wizzardses eat fishies?

Hes nearly round and round is orb

A good wizard doesn't take without doing something in return. Look around for a good wizardly gift to leave in exchange.

>>1112077
If we rub and polish stone friend until he is nice and round he will be orb. We should rub him every night.

>>1112078
Yes, yes. Wizards are mysterious and wise. They give wise and mysterious gifts and advice in exchange for things. Look for the magic weed that makes you feel weird, that would make for a good mysterious gift.

Taking fish could make person who fished fish angry. Practice your pondering and ponder the rock. Perhaps you can ponder where fisher went.

Perhaps the fisher is in trouble!

>Partaketh not of the fish! 'Twould taint thine mossy temple.
While Grem’s temple of moss is glorious, Grem need flesh or else Grem not grow big. That what Elder bold say. Also, one time Grem ate only moss for a full moon and Grem tummy hurt. Fish smell good, therefore Grem eat fishies.

>A good wizard doesn't take without doing something in return.
But what can Grem do? Trade for moss maybe? Grem not give them rock frend, rock frend Grem’s frend.

>Practice your pondering and ponder stone frend. They nearly round and round is orb.
Thou looketh upon thyne stone frend… and thyne stonest frende looketh backeth with a smile. Sadly, rock frend is neither round nor were good at being pondered at. Grem need proper orb, orb that is shiny and show reflection of Grem.
>If we rub and polish stone friend until he is nice and round he will be orb. We should rub him every night.
That will take many moons. Grem want to be wizard now, not then! No, rock frend not orb.

At first the water is completely still… then suddenly something big emerges from it, making a great splash against the rocks nearby! It’s a merman!?

Merman: “Oh Momma, sometimes I’m just so handsome that I scare myself!”

The merman drags some kind of shell across his head fin before striking a pose, flexing his muscles as if he knew he had an audience.

It isn’t until the merman flops up towards the fire that he notices Grem.

Merman: “Whoa there, little dude, there’s a little guy here!” he exclaims as he strikes another pose, “You didn’t touch my food, did you baby?”
GREM: ”Grem not lick fishes when Merman not looking, no.”
Merman: “That’s good, little guy! Daddy needs his protein for these bad boys!” the merman flexes, “Aw yeah!”
GREM: ”You are very big, yes.”
Merman: “Check out these pecks!” putting his arm in a circle over his tummy, he somehow manages to make his chest dance, “Oh! Ha! Yeah!”

But Grem eyes is drawn somewhere else. Right there, hanging from his neck, is a perfectly round orb… an orb so shiny that Grem can see Grem in it… and that Grem whispers… “Ponder me, Grem… Ponder me like one of your mossy kobolds~”

Merman: “Sorry little guy, have no time to chat! Got a date tonight!” the merman’s voice rips Grem away from his daydream, screaming and kicking, “Well, she said for me to get lost, but I’ll win her over, you’ll see.” and once again he flexes, “After all, who can say no to these things, right?”
GREM: ”Um… yeah?”
Merman: “Now run along, little lizard, I got protein to eat and a gal to impress!”

>>1112986
Ask where he got his orb.

>>1112986
Oh, of course! The reason he's so powerful must be because he is made of fish, and eating fish is just adding more fish to him. Since Grem is (unfortunately) made of lizard, he must eat lizard to become powerful. (Until he embraces his true calling as a being of moss.) Thank the muscular merman for his wisdom, and seek lizards to empower yourself with.

>>1112986
Tell him you really like his orb and want one too. Also can you have some fish

Ask where you can get an orb like his

>>1112986
Man, he's pretty.

Grem.
Time to be clever like wizard.
Fishman has orb.
Fishman very proud.

Stare at his orb.
Tell him how shiney and pretty it is.
If he talks to you, be distracted by orb.
Tell him lucky lady will want to stare at orb too. See herself in it.
Might not even look at his big arms and muscley fin.

>>1112986
This guy is cool. Ask how he got his shades. Maybe you can get wizard shades.

Compliment this strange merman’s orb, and ask where he got it~ Possibly mention you have your own girl to impress. (This is technically true! The girl is the witch! Imagine how serious you’ll look if you go to her to learn magic with a staff AND an orb!) Despite this merman’s vanity, he seems to be of a good nature, and might be willing to help!

Grem remembers kobold that ate other kobolds. Other kobolds threw rocks at them until they stopped moving and then threw them in swamp. Elder say eating kobold is very, very bad. Grem not eat other kobold.

>Ask where he got his orb.
Merman: “From the sea, of course!” he flexes as he points in a direction you presume is towards the sea, “Deep from the depths, I tore it from a feral, vicious clam, little pal! Oh momma, it was a real beast that clam!”
GREM: “Oh…” Grem have no idea what clam is but it sounds dangerous, “It is very shiny… and pretty… Grem is sure lady would love to see herself in it… maybe she won’t even look at your big arms and muscley fin?”
Merman: “Ah, sadly, she wasn’t impressed by the pearl, tiny lizard.” he deflates slightly, “They are rather common where I live, after all.”
GREM: “Then you can give Grem orb?” Grem hold out a handful of moss, “Grem even trade moss for it!”
Merman: “Huh? Moss? why would I want moss?”
GREM: “Grem not give you rock frend because rock frend is frend, so all Grem has left is moss.”
Merman: “Well, I don’t want any moss or rocks, my little… um…” he lean his head to the side, “Wait, are you a boy or a girl?”
GREM: “Grem is Grem!”
Merman: “No, I mean… what is in your pants?”
GREM: “Grem is in Grem’s pants!”
Merman: “Never mind.” he sigh, “Either way, how about this. You find me something awesome that will impress that gal, and I’ll trade you the pearl for it, deal?” The merman starts striking poses once more, “Something. HA! That. OH! Will. YEAH! Show. Huff! Off. Ah! These. Ngg! Badboys!” Grem hears him whisper something like ‘damn I’m handsome’ to himself under his breath.
GREM: “…can Grem have some fish too?”
Merman: “No.”
GREM: “Aw…”

>>1113053
Ask where you can find some food. Any fruit trees nearby? Edible roots? Berries? Can he teach you to fish?

>>1113053
No Grem! Not kobold! The merman doesn't eat other merfolk, he eats simple fish. Grem would eat simple lizard.

You have been denied fish because the merman knows fish will not let you reach the peaks he has. He knows you aren't made of fish. You must find simple lizards to become strong like him, then you will have the strength to lift metal tools.

Maybe you should ask for tips on how to get strong, instead of assuming.

>>1113053
Also, the moniker of dude is not exclusive to those with or without occupied pants. The merman should know that if Grem is someone willing to mutually respect him, then Grem must be accepted as a dude. It is the way of the coastal folk to be welcoming, and Grem has done nothing to revoke his welcome.

>>1113053
One final word of wisdom. There are three ways for a dude to display the physical perfection of their arm musculature: They may assert their will over an object of formidable mass and briefly remove it from the shelter of the ground, they may adorn their muscles with ink beneath the skin (or alternatives) in patterns that ripple as they flex.

And lastly, they may disguise their majesty under a modest garment. When the one they wish to woo is fooled by the false safety of a concealed body, a single flex will expose their mistake and the dude's awesome physique.

Go, Grem! Find a garment a maiden would find pleasing to see her partner wear over their torso.

>>1113053
If you can find charcoal or soot from the fire, you could make his muscle definition even greater? Like make up with girls, it just draws attention to certain parts. Not water proof though.

Also, can hear this merman's voice so clearly in my head, I can hear the mic compression.

>>1113053
Something that would impress a merlady? Hm...

If we can find him some fine cheeses with which to wine and dine the ladies, maybe that will work?

Shiny came from the sea.

Inspect sea.

You know what he needs? a nice vest. that will frame his abs and show of his arms. and make it look like his sleeves were torn off by his sheer muscularity.

You could make one out of moss!

Moss vest has added bonus of being waterproof! Will not break when wet! Cloth vest will fray and tear! Not good for water.

>>1113053
Hmmmm.
He wants something to impress fishlady.
Shiny prettyorb is easy to find in water so... what is hard to find in water?
Um.
Fire?
No.
Burning lady not romantic.
Something from top of tree?
Hmmmmm.
And something that makes arms look good.
Oh!
Make string out of vines.
Attach bright prettyfeathers.
Tie onto arms in right places to make arms look good.
Just like those humans called rest lars do!
Whatever they are!

Make crown out of tying some flower stems together. Bet the mermaids don't get those exotic land creature treasures very often.

Wait, maybe there is something else you can do.

Invite him to your birthday party next week in exchange for the magic pearl, your 2nd cousin, Farrah Foxcet, will be there. She's one of those fuzzy kobolds everyone forgot about.

Not to be confused with your 2nd cousin, Farrah Faucet, who is from the enchanted castle with the living furniture. Your family is very diverse.

>Grem would eat simple lizard.
The only lizard Grem knows is not simple kobolds and snek. But elder say not play with snek as snek make kobold stop moving if bit.
>Inspect sea.
Grem not know where sea is. Also, sea is big… maybe even bigger than den!

>Ask where you can find some food.
Merman: “Need some more protein for the gains, my man?” he turns around and flexes, showing off his back muscles, “Can’t say what’s on the surface, little dude, but there is plenty of fish in the lake, as well as a lot of plants, snails and other goodies at the bottom of it.”
GREM: “Can fish man teach Grem to catch fishies?”
Merman: “…can you swim?”
GREM: “Grem like rock. Sink to bottom. Water super scary.”
Merman: “Then no, sorry.”
>Maybe you should ask for tips on how to get strong, instead of assuming.
Merman: “Wanna be strong, little fellow? Why, start lifting some heavy weights!” the merman picks up a big, heavy rock as if it was made of moss, “Lift it a few times, take a break and then lift it a few times more! Just make sure you take a day off ever so often to make sure your muscles got time to grow, little lizard.”

>TRADE!
GREM: “Maybe Grem can invite merman to den?” you tell him, “Grem’s second cousin will be there!” Grem not good at lying, but Grem needs pearl to be wizard, “Grem cousin very into big men with muscles!”
Merman: “Sorry, little lizard, I don’t date… um… little lizards.” he stops for a moment before adding, “No offence, I’m just into the big, underwater ladies.”

GREM: “Grem can make crown of flowers! Water lady never seen crown of flowers before!”
Merman: “Hmm, I don’t know about a crown, but something like flowers would work.” the merman rubs his chin, “It needs to be able to withstand being underwater though, so most flowers won’t work… but if you find anything pretty a lady would like I’m willing to trade.”

GREM: “OH! Maybe Grem make some bracers with feathers on them! Or a vest of moss! That would bring Merman muscles out!”
Merman: “…can you even make that?”
GREM: “Grem not know but Grem try!”
Merman: “Right…” he rubs the back of his head, “I mean, I can take a look at it, I guess?”

GREM: “How about cheese and wine?”
Merman: “I don’t know what this cheese thing is, but wine would work! Do you have any?”
GREM: “No.”
Merman: “…then come back when you find some?”


Grem now have many options. Grem just need to either find something pretty, some wine or something for big merman to wear! Then Grem get orb to ponder!

After saying goodbye to big merman, Grem continue their journey towards human town, but here Grem get even more options! Grem can either look in the woods near the village to find woodcutters, but Elder has warned Grem that there are many traps in there.
Or Grem can go to outskirts of the village! Humans leave many neat things there, including tools! Just be careful so they don’t see Grem or Grem in trouble!
Finally, Grem can go down to lake near village. There are many barrels and boxes down there, maybe there are fishies or tools there too? Most humans either in town or out on lake fishing at this time of day, so floating platforms of wood should be safe. Maybe?

Grem need to decide…

Inspect Lakeside Boxen

>>1113205
We should go into human town at night when sneaking easier and look for wine. Right now look at boxes!

>>1113205
The boxes!
And the lake for fisherman humans.
Grem must have seen them before
Fishermen men use things called lures that are bright, shiney, can go in water and are ohsopretty.
They might have thrown some away or give grem some.
Gosee! Gosee!

Boxes full of supplies for Grem. Who knows what you can make

Boxes! They might have treasure for you and Fishman!
