Maxiey had no idea where the nearest town was.
Without a map, Maxiey decided to ask directions. As there was no one and no other talking face carved out of an inanimate object around, Maxiey the hobbe decided to ask the Demon Door.
"I need to see your combat multiplier get even higher before I swing ajar," the door said once Maxiey approached.
Maxiey grunted.
"Why do you want to find the nearest town?" the Demon Door asked with many an emphatic head gesture.
Maxiey grunted.
"That's a stupid idea, even for a hobbe."
Maxiey grunted.
"Fine, fine, keep your shirt on. I mean your dirty rags. Whatever. Oakvale is to the south, through the creepy-looking cave entrance there that takes you to Darkwood. Bowerstone South is all the way through Greatwood.
Maxiey grunted.
"You sure you want to go to Bowerstone? Darkwood isn't all that bad really. Just some nasty bandits, people that get sacrificed so they can endure eternal torture, exploding mushrooms and balvarines to worry about. Speaking of balvarines, I have one as a friend. His name is Charlie and he's vegetarian."
Maxiey grunted.
"Seriously. He's strictly vegan. Just carrots, tofu and the odd apple for him. He's the only one of his kind."
Maxiey grunted.
"Fine, go to Bowerstone. Doesn't matter where you go, you're going to end up with your head stuck on a pike anyways."
But Maxiey just grunted and went on his way, not discouraged in the slightest. In fact, Maxiey was almost out of Greatwood when he ran into someone oddly familiar.
