We're a bit far down the line to do this, I'm afraid. That was an update from a simpler time.

Isn't this an option from the last live update? Did I miss something?

“If it likes ta hunt strays, we can lead it inta' ambush. We hide amongst the trees, then I make a racket to catch its attention. When it lands to skewer me, we all rush it at once.”

And if the monster is as agile as you describe it, it might be better to lure it into an acid trap rather than to attempt to hit it with a bottle that it would just as likely swat away."

Goddess of trade, and we've got haggling skills so...
Write In Option: 1.C - Haggle.

Aim for:
+ refund on the healing.
+ restock on equipment lost to rust monster (bog standard or better quality) to better our chances of getting the slimes back
+ If temple won't go for giving us equipment outright, see if we can negotiate loaned equipment since we're armed with wood and ruined armor at the moment.

Yeah, I think we're really jumping to conclusions. However, there does seem to be something off that we should dig into a bit.

This works.

This is our final offer. I'm a little annoyed we split the loot with that guy we rescued from the Kobolds. Yeah he helped us kill them, but that was kind of fair pay-back for saving his life. I don't want to give away too much to these nerds. Go with plan firey-death-bomb if they refuse it.

Similarly, "We were hired to kill a monster but then this guy shows up and played a flute, so we killed him because our boss fell asleep." Is not a good argument to make if you want to be absolved of murder.

"This guy shows up?" ... what?

How about "We were hired to kill a monster and recover stolen slimes. Then we found out these guys were in control of the monster and had stolen the slimes. They sicced their monster on us and tried to murder us with arrows. We killed their monster and tracked the slimes (and them) down but we were in mutual danger from an underground horror. After agreeing to kill the new monster together, they reneged, put our boss in a trance and we had to kill them."

I doubt they allow crazy people to tan monster hunting guilds. So I doubt that would help us.

We have bandit meg.

"The defendant says the deceasedcontrolled the rust monster with that flute. Is that correct"

*Confirmed by lie detector*

"So the deceased could influence the minds of others via music?"

*Confirmed by lie detector*

"Did the deceased start playing his flute just before the defendant fell asleep?"

... And so on and so forth.

What types of slimes are here? Are any dangerous like the green slimes in the goblin cave?

Could we maybe leave dying guy near the slimes and turn our back?

"Whoops guy got killed by the slimes he tried to steal! Oh well, better put that on the death certificate."
