Blast From The Past: How Skree Handles A Pandemic

[Gifnab]

You tell Nebu 'We gotta talk.'

Nebu tells you 'I am here at the North Road.'

You tell Nebu 'Yuh makin' all SKREE'S people sick?'

Nebu tells you 'Sick? Are they?'

Nebu tells you 'Always..'

You tell Nebu 'Yuh gonna give uh cure..?'

You tell Nebu 'Or jus' be coy..'

Nebu tells you 'I believe I have answered that best I can.'

You tell Nebu 'So no..'

Nebu tells you 'I found a goblin in my chamber doing... something I would have rather not 
have found it doing. I believe my action was justified.'

You tell Nebu 'Skree gonna remembuh this.'

You tell Nebu 'Skree wus sneezed on..'

You tell Nebu 'Skree gonna git it?'

Nebu tells you 'I would wash that off...'

You tell Nebu 'Well uf course! Skree killt that gobbo...'

Nebu tells you 'See? I know they were not that important.'

You tell Nebu 'They is so..'

You tell Nebu 'Can't be uh Prince without uh people.'

Nebu tells you 'So what your saying is, for lack of a better word, you feel... betrayed?'

You tell Nebu 'Like SKREE felt when yuh first put uh bounty on thu board.'

Nebu tells you 'So you were the only one fragile enough to get that upset? I bountied 
everyone.'

Nebu tells you 'And told them of it.'

You tell Nebu 'Skree wus jus' thu only one that could do somethin' tuh yuh 'bout it.'

Nebu tells you 'I wouldn't say that is true.'

Nebu tells you 'Just the only one who didn't appreciate the challenge, as I was required 
to do by the Matron.'

Nebu tells you 'I will take responsibility for letting you do it, however.'

You tell Nebu 'And far as SKREE concerned, that wus settled.'

Nebu tells you 'Of course. It is easy to give yourself closure when you were successful.'

You tell Nebu 'Yuh keepin' it goin'..'

You tell Nebu 'Yuh killt uh bunch uf Gobbos an' wounded thu Goblin Nation.'

You tell Nebu 'Yuh got yuh revenge.'

Nebu tells you 'And I have done nothing since, allegedly... correct?'

Nebu tells you 'I even told you about my project in an effort to achieve transparency.'

You tell Nebu 'WHEN?!'

Nebu tells you 'Just then... when the Demon was nearby.'

You tell Nebu 'It ain't count AFTUH yuh do it..'

You tell Nebu 'Yuh got yuh revenges.. Jus'.. Is SKREE gonna git sick!?'

Nebu tells you 'Your gobbos weren't my project, I am talking about the idol of Moloch.'

You tell Nebu 'Thu wut..?'

You tell Nebu 'SKREE feels tired and achey..'

Nebu tells you 'Really?'

You tell Nebu 'Oh no.. Skree has thu black lung.. ack..ack...'

Nebu tells you 'I mean I had high hopes, but I figured you were sturdier than the rest...'

You tell Nebu 'Or maybe SKREE jus' makin' it up..'

You tell Nebu 'HELP!'

You tell Nebu 'Says'

You tell Nebu 'Uhh..'

Nebu tells you 'The thing is, either you haven't taken revenge because you believe I had 
reason enough to do it, or you don't think it would accomplish anything.'

Nebu tells you 'We already worked together to keep that fat dwarf off the mountain... and 
if I don't find another knife in my back I don't have much reason to do anything else.'

You tell Nebu 'Skree is tuh sick tuh do anythin'..'

You tell Nebu 'Feelin' tired.. fatigued...'

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You say 'Yeah.. They be.'

Chiana grumbles and growls. You wonder what's wrong...

You say 'Yuh got anythin' tuh do wit it?'

Nebu nods.

Chiana says 'Like that?'

Nebu says 'Yes, that is good.'

Chiana pulls her wings tighter about her.

Chiana says 'Why does everyone look at me?'

Nebu chuckles politely.

Nebu says 'You are strange looking.'

Chiana snorts brimstone.

You say 'Anythin' tuh say?'

Nebu shrugs helplessly.

Chiana shakes her head.

You say 'Not yuh..'

Skree points excitedly at Nebu!

Nebu says 'I wonder who else it could have been?'

You say 'That one.'

Nebu peers around himself intently.

You say 'Why don't yuh start talkin' an' Skree P.I. will listen.'

Nebu says 'I don't have much to speak about right now, other than teaching this one armies.'

You say 'Why yuh so quiet 'bout it when confronted?'

You say 'Got sum info, eh?'

Nebu says 'I have quite a lot of info.'

Nebu chortles mischieviously.

You say 'Let's hear then.'

Nebu says 'I just wonder why you require such attention.'

You say 'Gobbos be real sick.'

You say 'Yuh make everyone sick.'

Nebu scuffs his robe off, 'Gonna KILL ME DED again hmm?'

You say 'Yuh gotta know somethin'.'

Skree glares at Nebu.

You say 'That wut this about..?'

Nebu says 'You've already stabbed me right in my back, are you surprised? '

Nebu grins evilly.

You say 'So.. yuh put uh price on thu Prince. Thu Prince killt yuh..'

Nebu says 'I think I've been rather civil.'

You say 'Now yuh infect all thu Gobbos wit uh sickness, eh?'

Nebu says 'I put a price on every one of them.'

Nebu chuckles politely.

Nebu says 'You just the only one who got offended.'

Nebu turns away, 'And not so much as an apology.'

Nebu winks suggestively.

Skree throws his head back, cackling maniacally!

Chiana uses a long fingernail to play with reality, cause it to ripple.

You say 'Yuh feelin's hurt?'

Nebu points at Chiana, 'Stop that. YOur Elders are talking!'

You say 'Yeah!'

You say 'We talkin'!'

Nebu pokes A five legged chicken in the ribs.

Chiana stops the rippling.

Nebu says 'Good.'

A five legged chicken said 'BGAWK!'

Nebu says 'I am Drow, we are not meant to forget things.'

You say 'SHUT IT HENRY!'

Nebu pouts.

You say 'So yuh admittin' it.. '

Skree shakes his head, his ears flopping about..

Nebu says 'We have a sleuth on our hands.'

Skree paces about the room, hands behind his back..

You say 'Sloths ain't leave the gal.'

You say 'Egal...'

Nebu says 'Though to be fair, I don't pay SPECIAL attention to your gobbos.'

Chiana licks her lips, wandering about the chicken.

Nebu says 'I very much liked poisoning the blackwater kitchens.'

Nebu sighs.

Nebu says 'Those were good times.'

You say 'Skree liked peein' in wells.'

Nebu grimaces.

Chiana peers over the chicken at that.

Nebu says 'That's... gross. '

You say 'Goblin.'

You say 'We gross.'

Nebu says 'This Dosgingassk does not like to finish up its battles.'

Nebu boggles at the concept.

You say 'So.. wut was thu plan then, eh?!'

Nebu raises an eyebrow.

You say 'Poison all thu gobbos in all uf Aabahran!?'

Nebu says 'Me? Mine?'

You say 'Yeah.. yuh..'

Nebu stomps his foot, 'Can I not set a neat little plague without all my motives being questioned?'

Nebu throws his arms into the air, 'No privacy!'

You say 'ON THU GOBBOS!'

Nebu gasps in astonishment.

You say 'We wus doin' fine witout uh plague!'

You say 'Yuh want tuh plague up uh Gobbo, ASK!'

Nebu scrunches his eyebrows and puts his finger to his chin, 'I think it only made it through Maelbrim...'

You say 'Skree git yuh uh Boil-Bearer!'

Nebu says 'Well frankly they didn't much argue...'

Nebu says 'One started rubbing its back against the fountain.'

Nebu gags.

Skree throws his head back, cackling maniacally!

Chiana mutters something about if goblins didn't eat cats there wouldn't be a plague problem.

You say 'How nasty be this little plague, eh?'

Nebu says 'I would think you speak to more gobbos than I do.'

Nebu shrugs helplessly.

You say 'Bah!'

You say 'Yuh made thu damn thing'

Nebu says 'I think... that you think...'

Nebu says 'I spend much more time worrying about them than I actually do.'

Nebu scratches his head, looking very confused.

Nebu says 'I leave things all over the place... it's ... what I do.'

Nebu says 'Mazed Crusaders here...'

Nebu says 'Plague there...'

Nebu says 'Poison in the kitchens...'

Nebu says 'Voidsniffers...'

Chiana says 'Demons.'

Nebu walks up to you, 'I have lots of projects you know...'

Nebu will be right back!

Skree throws his hands up in the air!

Skree grabs both his ears and yanks down on them hard, screaming, ' Aaaaah!

Chiana straightens up and salutes.

Chiana says 'We want to be a Reaver.'

Chiana says 'Like you.'

You say 'Like SKREE?!'

Chiana nods.

Chiana nods.

Chiana pushes a clawed hand into her hair, grimacing, head tilted to the right.

Nebu nods.

Chiana twists her head to the left then violently snaps it back.

Nebu shakes the Voidsplitter as he hops out of its Prism.

Nebu boggles at the concept.

Nebu says 'This thing sometimes...'

You say 'Why ain't thu plague hoppin' tuh anyone else?'

Nebu avoids eye contact, 'Hmm... not entirely sure.'

You say 'Yuh did somethin'.. didn't yuh...'

Nebu says 'I am however, building something much bigger.'

Nebu says 'Than a little plague.'

You say 'For wut..?'

Chiana smirks as she spreads her wings and folds them tight about her shoulders.

Nebu says 'To dissuade KNIGHT from coming back up this mountain.'

You say 'Give SKREE thu cure tuh thu illness..'

You say 'Yuh killt enuff as payback..'

Nebu says 'You could... kill them. They would surely not be plagued any longer.'

Nebu says 'Don't gobbos eat each other or something?'

Nebu frowns.

You say 'Lots uf stuff.'

Nebu shrugs helplessly.

You say 'Jus' give thu cure... it ain't hard.'

Nebu says 'You assume I have it...'

Nebu boggles at the concept.

Skree sighs.

Nebu says 'I can't cure plagues I put on KNIGHTS.'

Nebu says 'Do you think that I could?'

You say 'Gobbo ain't no Knight.'

Nebu says 'They also usually don't understand me.'

Nebu snickers softly.

Nebu says 'Trust me, I've shared my distaste and they just....'

Nebu stares off blankly...

Skree grabs both his ears and yanks down on them hard, screaming, ' Aaaaah!

You say 'JUS' CURE IT!'

Nebu says 'Do you have it???'

Nebu boggles at the concept.

You say 'Does it look like SKREE got it?'

Nebu peers intently at Skree.

You say ''course not.'

Nebu walks up to you and begins triage, 'Hrmm... you got some rashes though.'

You say 'Rugburn...'

Nebu winces in agony.

Nebu says 'I will pretend I have no idea how.'

Nebu nods in enthusiastic agreement with Skree.

You say 'Gobbo things.. yuh wouldn't unduhstand...'

Beaming happily, Skree seems very pleased about something.

Nebu holds a hand out, 'Don't... worry.'

Skree reaches out with his own clawed digit...

Skree glances up at the stars in the sky.. how romantic..

Nebu shrugs helplessly.

Nebu says 'In fact, I haven't been able to do too much... covert works.'

Nebu says 'Too busy getting these whelps figured out..'

Nebu peers around himself intently.

You say 'Useless.. both uf'em..'

A five legged chicken darts past Chiana, scratching Chiana on his way through!

You say 'HENRY!'

Skree stumbles out..

Nebu frowns.

Skree places the back of his hand against his forehead and stumbles around, ' Oh...

Nebu says 'Kinda interesting that you confront me on this now, and just now are feeling sick?'

Nebu scratches his chin lightly.

Skree opens an eye and looks at Nebu then quickly shuts it..

You say 'Ohh! Thu sick..'

Nebu smirks.

You say 'Its got SKREE so sick.. so sick.. deep down in his Gobbo-bits..'

Nebu lifts his chin, 'You might... want to take care of all of that.'

Nebu boggles at the concept.

Nebu says 'Oh aren't those Back Braces just great.'

Nebu snickers softly.

Nebu says 'Made Tasaire rather manageable.'

Nebu pats an umber hulk on its head.

Skree drops the act, ' Fine.. Skree ain't sick..

Nebu says 'You got my hopes up you did...'

Nebu waggles a finger.

Skree mutters something about failing Drama class in the Academy..

Nebu sighs, 'We all did.' He mutters quietly.

You say 'Skree be back latuh..'

You say 'No more sick Gobbos.'

Nebu says 'No more stabby.'

You say 'Skree already gotta kill all those ones now..'

Nebu says 'That's the spirit!'

You say 'Is it gonna spread though...?'

You say 'Or is it jus' them..?'

Nebu says 'Probably not if you kill them.'

Nebu clears his throat.

You say 'IF they stay and make thu place look dirty..'

You say 'Can yuh make it not spread..?'

You say 'That way it causes worry without killin' more gobbos?'

Nebu says 'Well...'

Nebu shoves his toe in the dirt sheepishly...

You say 'Wut...'

Nebu says 'It doesn't really feast on anything else.'

Nebu looks at you out the corner of his eye.

You say 'So it IS jus' gobbos!'

Nebu says 'Or is it?'

Nebu sits down and thinks deeply.

You say 'Time tuh round'em up.. an' kill'em..'

Skree hops around goofily.

You say 'Can't have uh disease killin' thu whole nation...'

Skree gasps, grabbing his throat!

You say 'GAH!'

You say 'Thu Black Lung, Pop.. ITS GOT SKREE!'

Skree falls into your arms, his mouth frothing black.

You say 'OH NO!'

Skree holds Skree in his arms..

You say 'No..'

Skree looks up at you, running his hand through your .... hair. 

You say 'Wut will thu Gobbos do without their lovely Prince..'

Skree leans in, 'Cloooser...'

Skree leans in.. their noses almost touching...

Skree vomits black blood all over and starts laughing!

You say 'WE IS DED.'

You say 'Killt ded.'

You say 'Dedder n real ded.'

Skree drops Skree to the ground..

Skree coughs, hitting the floor.

You say 'Guess its time fuh thu real Skree tuh stand up..'

Skree stands up.

You say 'Skree gonna git some moldy bread fuh thu Gobbos...'

Skree scampers off to the north..
