"I'm sorry, but you're the first monster that I've met since one killed Nikkie. Someone should pay for his death." She touched her snout as it bled a little. She touched her horns again and found they were sharp. Kua ran towards the bear with her horns out to hit him in the stomach and, hopefully, pierce him.

The sheild doesn't explode. "Here, I'll get it for you." Peyton says, unhooking the sheild from the wall and handing it over to you. He starts working on getting the sword and its sheath down as well. A moment later, both objects were down. He hands the sword and its sheath over to you.
"See? No problem." Peyton notes.

"True, I'd rather not sneak past." Alex notes after getting a hold of himself and his nervous laughing fit. "Talking to the wasp it is."
The wasp turns towards you, its mechanical body making a whirring noise as the gears turned inside it to make it move. It looks at you and Alex suspiciously before slowly replying.
"Hello." It clacks in broken english. Alex sqeaks and hides behind you. The wasp hasn't made a move to attack or to defend, it was just simply standing there as if accepting your presence. You hadn't been marked as a threat yet.

You successfully hit the bear in the stomach. The bear stumbles backwards roaring in anger, before admitting defeat. With that, the bear padded away to lick its wounds.
The path is clear to continue on again. There was some sort of chatter behind you that sounded rather familiar.

"Why would a perfectly good sword and sheild explode? That would be rather wasteful." Peyton says, walking through the opening as well.
There were multiple one-story stone buildings including - but not limited to - the following:
A blacksmiths shop
A witchy house
A house full of food - actually good cooked food
And a big statue in the middle of the town.

However, the place looked like it had been long abandoned. Dust piles rose high in corners and you leave footprints. Peyton skips through the town, taking in all the sights.

(I just looked at the character pages and saw that you declared Nikkie dead. Why must you hurt me in this way?)

She went back to her humanoid form and started walking, not eager to meet whatever was chattering behind her. She was also trying to stop her mouth from bleeding so much and applied a lot of pressure to it.

(I can declare him undead for you.)

The feather bear had apparently run into the beings behind you and was talking with them. What is up with that bear and lunch? You're pretty sure it isn't lunch time anyways.
The path splits before you.
Left - runes
Right - dusty

A big feast is set, which means there's a lot of food.
Soups, breads, cereals, desserts, and more.
Peyton picked up a bowl of soup. "This is still hot." He notes. He picks up a spoon and hesitantly tries the soup. "Tastes good. Try some." He offers you the soup.
