Location: Dirtmouth

David, Matthew, Chris, and Seer stepped off the elevator they took from Crystal Peak, and into the valley town of Dirtmouth. The town itself was bustling with activity, with stores selling their goods to travelers, people moving to and from the surface, as well as various groups of children playing around residential areas.

"My friends, before we continue onwards, I must let you know that moths aren't exactly… welcome, as evidenced by yesterday's incident" Seer said.

"What are the chances that the townsfolk will attempt violence?" Asked Chris.

"Hmm" Seer pondered the question for a few seconds before answering "I guess it all really depends on how afraid they are of you."

"Alright then, form around Seer, make it visually obvious that messing with her entails messing with us" David said.

"Yes sir" Said Matthew and Chris in acknowledgement, Matthew going to Seer's right, and Chris to her left, David was in front.

The group went into town, with Seer in the defensive circle, ready to deter anyone who may cause their translator harm.

A group of three bugs began approaching the group, seemingly oblivious to the fact that the moth was associated with the three giants surrounding her.

"Hey moth, looks like your ilk didn't learn not to come down here" The bugs were brandishing small daggers. "Why don't we teach you a lesson"

A circle suddenly formed around the delinquents and white clad giants with the moth in the center. Chants of "FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT" could be heard, along with words of derrison being directed at Seer.

The delinquents bugs seemed to chuckle, and then stopped, the three white giants were still surrounding the moth, this suddenly didn't seem like a good idea. However, the delinquents had a reputation to maintain, and, in a moment of remarkable stupidity, decided to threaten a being several times his size.

"Ey yo, big guys, why don't yo-" But one of the tall figures cut him off.

"Why don't we what?" The white clad figure said in a strange sounding voice, though even through the strang distortion, the venom in its voice was clear.

"Ey you actually defending moths pal, what you some kind of moth fucker?" The lead delinquent said

"No, no can't say I ever have" The leading tall figure said with amusement.

"You know what I mean you moth lover, why not get out of the way and let us-" The leading delinquent bug was cut off again by one of the tall figures, the sound appeared to come from the one on the right.

"Ok, this just stupid, look at the situation, notice how much larger we are than you, notice how I could probably just step on you and you'd die. Hostility and belligerence will only result in your maiming, and possible death, I do not believe that this is a fight you want to start." The tall being on the moth's right side.

The lead delinquent stepped back a bit, he did have to admit, this wasn't the smartest thing he had ever done. Would anyone really fault him for not wanting to start a fight with these tall things?

The delinquent bugs apparently chose that life was more important than trying to look tough, and ran away. The disappointed crowd dissipated, though a not insignificant amount of the townsfolk seemed to pay attention to every move the group made.

"Those bugs, were realy dumb" Matthew said to no one in particular. "I mean, how do you not immediately get that something several times your size isn't exactly something you are going to want to pick a fight with."

"Hallownestian deliquants aren't exactly… the brightest bunch, it isn't uncommon for them to meet their end by doing something extraordinarily unadvisable. They feel like the only way to make themselves look tough is by picking fights with whoever they can, which is one of the lethal unadvisable things they do." Seer said.

"Well that's behind us right now lets-" David was cut off by Seer.

"WAIT!, I detect another crystal nearby, two actually" Seer pointed to one of the town's buildings.

"These crystals are incredibly valuable to the Moth Tribe, though sadly many of them have been lost or stolen over the years" Seer said

"Hmm, that looks like a shop" Said Matthew.

Seer sighed "It is Sly's, he will probably try and sell my people's own artifacts to me, please wait outside I brought geo"

The humans couldn't exactly enter the store anyway, they were taller than the building, so they just sat outside waiting.

"I was going to sell them for 300 each" Sly started

"Oh good, I have enough for-"

"But considering their importance to you, how about 3,000 geo each" Sly interrupted

"6,000 geo?! That's outrageous!" Seer yelled.

"If you can't pay up, i'm going to have to ask you to lea-" Before Sly could finish, a bug with fancy clothing entered.

"Shopkeep, I had received word that you had exotic artifacts" It was a noble, if the fancy clothes didn't give it away, the posh accent and air of arrogance certainly did.

"Sure do, have them right here in fact, 6,000 geo each" Sly said.

The noble took a good look at the crystals "Deal" said the noble.

"W-wait I was-" Seer started but was cut off.

"Sorry lady, if you wanted, maybe you should have offered a better price" Sly said in a callus tone.

Seer was on the verge of tears as she saw the noble walk away with her people's last hope.

"Such pretty little crystals, to think a filthy old moth tried to buy them. Lucky I was in time to stop that undeserved purchase, I think I'll turn you into a necklas-" The noble stopped as he bumped into something.

The noble looked up to see three tall figures towering over him, the one in the middle cracking its claws.

"Eh heh heh" The noble squeaked out nervously.

"Out out out" Sly yelled at the crying Seer, he didn't want some old moth disrupting business.

Seer walked up to her white clade friends in shambles. This was her chance, and she blew it, her people were doo-.

"Hey Seer, look what we have" Chris said, Seer looked up to see the crystals in Chris's right outstretched hand.

Seer had no words, all she could do was run up and hug Chris's leg tears of sorrow and now joy running down her face.

As this was happening, a figure in scarlet robes and a smiling mask standing at the edge of King's Pass looked down at the group. 3 whole humans, he couldn't believe his luck, the master needed to hear about this.
