'Because I'm way more useful and fun alive than dead. If I may ask, what did the people do to make you drown them? Like, threaten your life, or just say that you stink?'

“The former.”

'Ok, good. Ya got many enemies?'

“Yes.”

'Like, pest control and the like? They hate me'

“Adventurers hate me.”

'I can see how that would be. How many of them are just like- swing sword first, ask questions later. Especially when they find people like us. Usually they think I'm a wererat'

“One time i saw a poster in a town that was asking for help killing a monster under a bridge. I was currently living under the bridge.”

'Ya not a monster, ya a wood elf! Right?' 11 + 1

“Yes, I’m a wood elf.”

*Kapar auto fails that. He’s lying*

'Ya ... not a wood elf, are ya Kapar? What are ya, if I may ask?'

“A wood elf.”

'The game's up, I know you're not. I've seen your eyes. No wood elf has eyes like that'

“How many wood elves have you met?”

'I live in a sewer. Not many. But I know you're not a wood elf. Elves don't like the dark, damp places you do. You're like some sort of water creature, something adapted to life down here'

Kapar goes over to them.

”do not tell anybody or i will drown you.” He says.

”I am a very elven looking Bridge troll.”

'Oh, I won't tell anyone. Ya secret's safe with me. And it does explain a lot. What sort of elf would live like this?'

“…you took that much better than i thought.”

'I can understand why you'd want to hide it, some people being so iffy about trolls. But come on, you're sewer trash, like me, and I don't care what type of sewer trash you are'

“Thanks.”
