"I hope you don't plan on harvesting my organs for magical detectors or something. I may have many, but it would make me very uncomfortable to have to share them."
"The Summer and Gloaming courts. The Summer court loves society, while the Gloaming court loves individuality. They both provide a modicum of protection from the other, but they both rejected me because I am part hag."
“NO! That’s gross! If I needed organs, I could get them from the many, many undead I can summon at a moment’s notice. No, I need you to help me find a way to bait these creatures. They are called Others, and each one has a specific hunger that can never be quenched.“
<What’s a hag?>
"I was never a skilled hunter, but I can try. I've picked up some knowledge of the art in my centuries of talking to experienced chefs and suppliers."
"It's a type of Fey. Very ugly. Usually evil. My mother was a rust hag, a type that is very skilled with machines and firearms."
“Really? You’re sure you’ll help me?” Thirteen’s excited expression suddenly turns serious. “If you are honest in this pursuit, you must swear upon Azuth, Mystra, and the Weave itself that you shall not retreat. This oath is binding. There can be no small devotion to this cause.”
<Huh. How’d you end up making candy?>

Sytosc looks disdainful. "You expect me to swear upon things that I do not respect? What do you take me for?"
"Oh, when the courts killed my mama, I inherited her land, her factory, her contracts, everything. I was a kid at the time, and I wanted to make everyone happy, so I made the best decision of my life and turned the gun factory into a candy factory. I thought every body loved candy. I was mostly right."
"Yes, My betrothed and I adopted them about a year ago."
3 of the children have pulled out very small knifes.

"I have heard that also. Apparently most caverns are quite a bit smaller than Gøblenheim is."
"Hey! If you want candy, you should ask! You do not need to violate the Rule of Hospitality over a frog!" He turns to the older goblin. "Sorry about that, but I cannot stand rudeness when I am hosting. I'm fine with knife fights, so long as they aren't affecting the atmosphere I'm trying to create."

"It's in a cavern, then? Interesting. I've heard almost nothing about it through my studies. Possibly because those studies were limited and on a completely different subject."

“I take you for a sensible being, one I do not know yet, but one who is certainly a force to be reckoned with. But I apologize. I simply know both Azuth and Mystra personally and have seen that they would smite any violator of this oath. Therefore, instead we shall vow that, in embarking upon this pursuit, we agree to kill the other if they back out. You know, I like that better anyway.”
<They… they what?> Pch’Ptah looks horrified. <Why would they do that?>

"That also does not work for me. I prefer not to get my hands dirty unless I have to, and I doubt you have the power to physically kill me, even if I were to allow it. I have an entire extra physical dimension on you. So, that aside, how about we just shake hands? If either of us back out, they have to buy the other dinner."
"She was ugly and individualistic. And powerful. All of that together makes a foe to both courts. Most hags aren't even allowed in the Feywild."

As Jøken speaks, the 3 children with knives all stand equidistant, and assume stances. The other 5 encircle them.

"Yes, it occupies the entire floorspace of a 7,893,564 acre cavern. I've also noticed that most people are shocked by how big the city walls are."

In all honesty, if push comes to shove, I'll probably leave if I have to fight you. I'm not a coward, though. These entities... they are a threat to my work, and I cannot have that. They violate the social contract, and thus must be corrected with a firm hand and likely a sword."
"In all honesty, I hope that's the case. I don't want to meet anyone worse than they are. They even tried to kill me when I came to forgive them. They thought it was hilarious that I thought they were the ones that needed forgiveness."
