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.

  • "Hoist by their own petards" is a reference to Shakespeare's Hamlet: "For 'tis the sport to have the enginer/Hoist with his own petard." (III, iv)
  • A petard is a small bomb. Its name comes from the French verb peter, "to break wind". This may explain the Butt-headian reference.
