0:03
He twists and rubs and tweaks the nubs.
0:06
He strokes and pokes like all the bloss.
0:09
Come on, you stubborn hunk of garbage.
0:13
The dwarf's fingers clamp around a
0:15
splintered chunk of wood nailed to the
0:17
skeleton of an old ship. His whole body
0:20
strains with the effort of wrenching the
0:21
plank free to no avail.
0:41
Oh, that that won't be my first or last
0:48
Reckon I might have had a harder time of
0:49
it without your help, though. Bravery on
0:52
the high seas is rewarded tenfold in the
0:57
now if you'll excuse me, I've got
0:59
business to attend to.
1:02
The dwarf spits into each of his callous
1:04
palms and rubs them together before
1:06
placing them both back.
1:17
Bleeding nail must be
1:20
charmed or something.
1:25
Go on then. Give it a go.
1:27
You grab the plank and pull. The rusted
1:30
nail pops loose and the plank promptly
1:33
crumbles to pieces in your hand.
1:35
Oh, look at that. Nice of you to finish
1:38
the job after I uh loosened her up.
1:42
He winks and flips a gold coin toward
1:44
you. It makes a long high arc glinting
1:47
in the sun and lands squarely in your
1:58
No, but I'd hoped to build something
2:00
with it that would be worth a thousand.
2:02
Yeah, we're a fool's errand thinking I
2:04
could make something out of this heap,
2:06
but I couldn't help myself from trying.
2:09
He sucks a finger and holds it up to the
2:11
wind, testing the breeze.
2:15
Winds like these, she would have
2:18
capsized before she reached the break.
2:26
He gives you a ry look, as though
2:28
deciding whether to trust you.
2:32
I was planning to build me a raft and
2:34
paddle off. I've got business north of
2:37
here in a town called Driftwood. Far be
2:39
it from me to miss an appointment.
2:48
Why don't we make a deal then? You help
2:50
me get out of this place and I'll do the
3:00
He lifts an invisible cap and bows with
3:02
the grace of a courtier.
3:08
Pleased to make your acquaintance. The
3:12
Well, the name's dead and buried. What
3:15
matters is what they call me. Beast.
3:31
May have been cast out, but you can bet
3:32
your last healer breached. She wishes
3:34
she hadn't have. I've taken my revenge a
3:37
thousandfold on that tyrant's fleet.
3:43
I'll tell you when you're older.
3:49
Anyhow, we're a team now. So, the me is
3:52
not half as important as the us.
3:59
Let's get down to brass tax fighting. I
4:03
I've been up and down the realm so often
4:05
it'd make your cabbage spin. And I
4:07
picked up a few tricks along the way.
4:09
Truth be told, I've grown fond of
4:12
crushing and casting. A battle mage, if
4:14
you like. But there's not so important
4:17
as team dynamics. So what will it be?
4:36
Well, that's that sorted. Onward then.
4:40
I've got to get out of here and soon.
4:42
And I suppose you do, too.
4:44
Ah, well, my best mate's son is undead.
4:47
Nothing to be ashamed of.
