The Sharks, a group of itinerant Knob Goblins, approaches you in the Sleazy Back Alley, razors flicking. You're able to talk them into not only leaving you alone, but getting into a rumble with themselves that leaves them hoist by their own petards.
Huh huh. He said "petards."
You gain 3 Roguishness. |
