I've come seeking a place to live. I've heard rumor of the towers many living quarters and facilities.

Heh, heh...
An unusual sort, I see... the beings of the wild usually shun society.
Yet here you are.

I am. Any particular reason you see so few visitors? Surely there must be some if there's need for a gatekeeper.

On occasion there are traders that seek this tower... sometimes an odd mind such as your own shows up... Heh, heh, heh...
It makes no difference to me, I simply decide if they may or may not enter.

Well, may I?

Heh, heh... Normally, I'd ask a visitor to prove their strength, so we may see if they are worthy of entry.
But... truth is, I lost the key to the door while I was out, making my rounds... heh, heh...
So... perhaps if you can find my key for me, I could let you in... heh, heh, heh, heh...

So you're just making me do your work for you?

Do you want in or not? No key, no entry, it's as simple as that.
A display of strength like that would certainly render you worthy of entry.
Heh, heh, heh, heh...

Ugh, fine, I'll find your key.
What's it look like?

Key shaped.

Alright. Where did you last have it?

Mmmmh... must have dropped it while wandering the plains...
But who knows... maybe some critter made off with it. I sometimes see things scurrying stuff into the forest.

The Gatekeeper points to an area behind you. Sure enough, there are some rolling plains and a forest. There's also a coast surrounding them. Additionally, you can see the jagged cliffs of the wastes from whence you've came. You're not going back there.



So it's either in the plains or the forest. I'll go have a look.

Good luck, heh, heh, heh, heh...

Uh... also, by any chance do you have something to eat? I've been on the road a long time and am getting quite hungry.
...some berries preferably.

Maybe... maybe not... Heh, heh, heh...
What I hold within my tiny domain is for me and me alone to know.
Now go! Find the key!!

Well, thanks anyway, I guess.
