You must help me, <PCNAME>! I need you...I need you to poison me!<BR><BR>Wait, don't go! I can explain. I need to be poisoned by a {@LinkCreature:30#140#venomous tentacullar} right away.<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"By the titans, why?"</NEXTPAGEBUTTON> I have a dark secret—something truly important that I cannot reveal to anyone. Alais and the goons from the Mysterium are going to force it out of me. The right dose of {@LinkCreature:30#140#venomous tentacullar} poison acts on the brain and causes memory loss. I'd rather be forgetful than dead. Thank you so much, <PCNAME>. Please, give it to me now!<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"Here's the poison."</NEXTPAGEBUTTON> (He chugs the poison in the bottle and then opens and closes his mouth several times, increasingly panic-stricken.)<BR><BR>(He points to his mouth, gesticulates wildly, and then points to another miner.) I will not tell the secret even if those goons torture me. I’d rather be dead. He drank what? No wonder he can’t speak.<BR><BR>His throat will swell to the point where he’ll have trouble breathing for days. What happened?<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"He was trying to forget a big secret..."</NEXTPAGEBUTTON> That old wives' tale about tentacullar venom? He won't forget the past, but he won't be able to give up his precious secret, either.<BR><BR>Somebody has to tell {@LinkCreature:230#1065$$Libinienn} about this.<BR><BR>We miners have an old custom, called "one-two-three-not-it," so you get to go tell Libinienn how you poisoned one of the miners.<BR><BR>Good luck with that, <PCNAME>. So you gave him tentacullar venom. And he drank it.<BR><BR>I...I...words fail me.<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"I was just trying to help."</NEXTPAGEBUTTON> You'll do anything someone asks you to do, eh?<BR><BR>You want to know what his big secret is? He's been taking some of our finds from the dig site and hiding them for black-market confederates to pick up.<BR><BR>And you delayed the interrogation he so richly deserves!<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"I’m sorry."</NEXTPAGEBUTTON> Well, you're naive, but you're no criminal.<BR><BR>And come to think of it, you probably punished him worse by poisoning him than I would have.<BR><BR>When you're an itinerant miner, getting sentenced to hard labor isn't much of a punishment.
