NPC 165: Frank the Excessively Honest Fox

[+bye +job +name]

"I think thou dost ask too many questions."

You see a fox standing on his hind legs, staring directly at you.

name{

"My name is Frank, devout follower of honesty." He makes a slight bow.

[-name]

"And who wouldst thou be?"

}[+won't tell +AvatarName]

AvatarName{

"It is good that thou didst tell me. One should always be honest in one's dealings with others. By the by, thy voice crackles too much."

}[-won't tell -AvatarName]

won't tell{

"I am sorry to see that thou art not trusting enough to reveal thy name." He shrugs. "By the by, thy voice crackles too much."

}[-won't tell -AvatarName]

job{

"I," he says, "am on a quest. A quest for honesty." He sniffs the air, and then turns to you.

"By the by, thou mightest have more friends if thou didst bathe a little more often."

}[+friends +bathed]

bathed{

"Yes, as in `take a bath.' I must inform thee that thou dost truly stink!"

}[-bathed]

friends{

"Speaking of thy friends, I have heard that thy companion, Dupre, is a drunken sot."

<Dupre> "Hey, I don't think --"

"Yes, from what I have been told, that Dupre has no will when confronted by a tankard of, well, anything.

"As a matter of fact, thou hast fairly poor taste in companions overall."

}[+companions -friends]

companions{

"I am glad thou didst ask, <AvatarName>. Thy friend, Iolo, charges far too much for his bows. Perhaps thou couldst have a chat with him."

<Iolo> "Too much? What dost thou mean, too --"

"His bows and crossbows just aren't of the quality that is worth the kind of gold he charges."

He takes a step back.

"Gads! Thy breath could gag an ox. Thou shouldst consider taking better care of thy teeth, or thy fellows will leave thee."

}[+teeth -companions]

teeth{

"That is the reason for thine offensive mouth odor. I have not seen anything that yellow since the time thy fellow Shamino ran away from a battle in fear."

<Shamino> "Thou must be mad!" Shamino turns to you. "This rogue needs to be taught a lesson."

"And thy friend, Shamino, <AvatarName>, has quite a bellicose temper."

[+bellicose]

"And," he pauses, peering very closely at your face, "I never noticed how large thy nose is. 'Tis amazing thou canst find enough air to breathe."

}[+nose -teeth]

bellicose{

"Yes, bellicose, warlike, angry. If thou dost not know that, I believe thou needest to improve thy vocabulary. Thou art too unschooled."

}[-bellicose +unschooled]

unschooled{

"Trust me, <AvatarName>, thou art too ignorant to argue with me."

<> "Oh, this is too much!"

}[-unschooled]

nose{

"Truly quite large, and not in the least bit attractive."

}[-nose]

bye{

"Thou hast the manners of a pig. 'Tis not polite to break conversation so abruptly." END
