The conversation ends

*The {darvaki} unleashes a high pitched and surprised squeal, no doubt alerting the rest in the camp to your presence.* Croak! meh. meh. Croooooak!

The conversation forks on the graph-variable check:

If False

CROOOOOAK!

If True

*Tensi erupts into an apologetic-sounding wave of croaks and shouts.* croak! croak, mehmeh, croaaaak, croak, croak.

*The {darvaki} lowers his weapon.* Croak?

He understands me, and he's willing to talk! By all the mana in the stars I don't know what to ask first! I'm so excited my mind has gone blank!

Only while Frogs of War is started

  • Ask the {darvaki} if you may study them openly.

    *{Tensi} croaks and ribbits to the %darvaki% about what you can only assume is your suggestion.*

    Kr'appa. Kr'kr. rbb't. R'b! Rbb't!

    *A look of relief and elation washes over the elf.* Yes, yes, yes! He grants both of us passage! Am I dreaming this? Is there one of the illusionists from the guild playing a prank on me?

    • I don't think this is a dream!

      You're right! I don't think it's a dream! OH! I should ask about my book! Give me just one second!

      *Tensi runs off croaking and ribbiting at the {darvaki} about her studies.*

    Oh, you're not any fun at all! You're fine! Just lighten up!

    Returns to an earlier point

  • Maybe {Arufa} is right ...

    Who? Stop talking nonsense and focus! This is kind of serious! And I don't say that often!
