Everything.

Stiasha has more influence with the tribe than you, and if you can't convince her here you might as well go off on your own. Trying to charm an entire tribe will only end in you getting killed in your sleep sooner or later. It only takes one to break free, it's happened before, and you can't take as many risks as then.

You both stop walking and turn to speak to each other.

"First things first, why do you seem to hate me so much? As far as I remember we got along well, very well."

"Of course you don't remember! You were drunk out of your mind so that means I'm just supposed to let it go that you offered me up like a cheap whore to your two dumbass sidekicks!"

That explains why you didn't know what the problem was, and might help you out. "Well, that makes sense of why you kept glaring daggers at me. I'm guessing you would rather kill me than have me be in charge then?"

Stiasha narrows her eyes, "yes, and if I knew it would be better for the tribe I would kill you now. Kluzz was a meathead and your friends aren't here to step in this time."

"What do you know of mindflayers?"

"What does that have to do with anything!?"

"We have a long walk ahead of us to the cave, and I have a long run back if you try to kill me, so maybe you can humor me a bit while we continue on our way," finishing that you start walking, not looking back to see if she starts moving.

"Bastard," you hear her start to walk, "I don't know much about them, other than they eat brains, and control the minds of anything they consider lesser than themselves. Which tends to be anything they can get their minds around."

"You have the basics, at least what you need to know if you are just going to avoid them. They also have a hive mind, and like to experiment, both on themselves and their slaves. Now the reason I'm bringing them up is because I am one of those experiments." You have had your sense focused while walking, waiting for her to attack, now is the first time her mind wasn't running through how to kill you.

(Is he insane?)

She stops again. "Your lieutenants said you nearly drowned, and a few other strange things. Did your brain break, have you finally lost it?"

"No, the goblin you knew is dead. I consumed his mind and memories, and assumed his form. Normally I would never reveal myself like this, unfortunately for us, for all of us, the gods have changed this world. Including a few abilities that I used to have, for an example, what level do you see for me?"

(Level 4 Goblin)
(Monster, Microboss, Goblin, Explicit)

"You're level..4? That's the same as when you left this morning. After defeating Kluzz, and those rats your friends talked about, how could you be less than level 6?"

"I am level 6. My problem is that I used to share experience with my host, and that ability was taken from me. I never needed to worry about finding a new host, unless **** or if an opportunity presented itself. Other changes were made, as I'm sure you have noticed for yourself."

"So what, you are going to turn us over to your masters? Harvest our brains for your food? You aren't making the case for not getting killed here."

"Hahaha," you can't help but laugh at that. "No, the only thing for me with them is my ****. I am a failed experiment to them, unwilling to let the Elder Brain control me. As far as food goes, goblin brains aren't the best, they'll do in a pinch, or if they have something valuable to know, but they don't taste the best. Now as for why you shouldn't try to kill me, I like having my own groups to oversee, strengthening them to make myself stronger. In return, me getting stronger offers your tribe options they would have never had, and the changes the gods made mean we have to become as strong as possible."

"I understand you believe that, but as far as I know, you have lost your mind. Do you have any way to prove you aren't just a goblin with brain damage?"

"No, I can't. I hope, however, that you believe I want to live, and that the best way for me to do that is to strengthen us all."

After going the last few miles in silence she talks again. "Fine, I'm sure you will get a chance to prove what you say, about everything, and on the off-chance you aren't insane, and you are more capable than Kluzz or his idiot brother, we are going to need all the help we can get."

Finally arriving at the cave, "And you can start proving yourself by claiming this cave for our tribe."

"That was the plan sexy."

A slight scowl coming back to her face, "Maybe I should rethink cooperating, and go back to killing you?"

"Trust me when I say that after you killed me all you would be doing was inviting more trouble onto yourself. Now let's get this cave claimed!"

You pull the claimant crystal out and use it.

"How about assface?"

"How about no." You decide on a combination of your creators name, and Kluzz, Kullel.
