- Ahem, ahem. Well, since it's come to this, let me introduce myself — my name is Gnoll. I am... a traveling merchant.
Feeling that the conversation had smoothly shifted from the "let's gut him and hang him by his own entrails on some protruding rock" category into something more acceptable, the man tried to regain control of the situation and took a closer look at his interlocutors. "Well, that dark-skinned one is clear enough — a barbarian through and through, explodes at the slightest thing, surprising he hasn't already punched his way to the surface with that thick skull of his on the powerful exhaust from his rear end." At the sight of Chernika, the corners of his lips curled upward, "a completely average face and the upper proportions leave much to be desired, but those thighs are something else — I'd love to throw them over my shoulders and show how feeble her kin are," and at the sight of Katarina, something else stirred, "but no, that would be going on too long after all." Dorian evoked positive feelings in him, so no internal commentary was found for him. Jingo and the half-sword seemed strange, and the full-swords, like all their kind, endlessly dull.
