"So really my family used to farm this land prior to it going all swampy of misery." The cloaked man was named Dave, the least threatening name ever. I mean tommy the evil person is just funny, but Dave was nice, he took us in and fed us and didn't try and kill us, so you know modest hopes from another human.
"Why don't you leave?"
"Felt like giving up really."
"So instead you stand around scaring people about the swamp of misery?"
"Well its more of a warning."
"About what?"
"Oh the giant land killing monster that lives further in." It felt like Dave should have lead with that. Like instead of all the hi's I'm Dave, maybe say "Hey can you help me kill this huge monster that killed my familial land?" But that's not Dave, Dave's nice.
"Giant swamp monster?" Nidget already started to sound kind of apprehensive.
"Not really a swamp monster, just a giant land killing creature, I dunno its like part of the earth or something? It really just turned this more liveable land into the horrid swamp you see right now."
"You want to kill the monster don't you." Nidget knew, he just knew.
"Yes yes I do." And so we set out on an actual good thing and not whatever Trezlan wanted us to do, because he's a dick and we do what we want!
