On the plus side, now we have a Pit of Despair that we can use in the event we need one! I can't say I've wanted one, but hey, now we've got one!
Rufus, you're right that Liddia's a noble that might not know much about bein' a cabbage farmer, but I do! I mean, I guess I don't exactly know about cabbages in particular (do they grow on the ground, or are they like a tree thing? I don't really eat cabbage), but I've spent my whole life pullin' up stumps, and I figure that's a similar level of job! Lemme tell ya, stump pullin' is a lot of work, and you really don't make a lot of coin or glory doin' it! You just end up with stumps and stump-sized patches of dirt! And bein' a dryad, a lot of people have treated me more like a plant than a person in my life, and people apparently treat walkin' and talkin' plants with a surprisin' lack of respect, so I definitely understand where you're comin' from! No real coin, no real respect, while everyone around you gets bigger and better? That sucks! But hey, look where I ended up, and I didn't even ask for any of it, from a djinn or otherwise!
You want to make a good mark on the world? You want to make more coin from your cabbages than your wheat and meatcorn neightbors? Then come work for me as my personal Cabbager, grow cabbages, and teach my people how to grow cabbages, since they're not super great planters yet! The catch? You first gotta help right these wrongs that you asked for! You undo this mess with us, you sincerely recognize the dangers and sufferin' you caused, you sincerely apologize for it, and we can help lift your life up! Or, it's entirely likely that there'll be some adventurers that are pretty much gonna find you and mess you up somethin' fierce, and I got a sure spicious feelin' one of 'em rhymes with Poseph Snith! Let's make this right!
Oh, and that goes for anyone feelin' lousy that hears me! Are things goin' bad enough for you that you're considerin' askin' somethin' from the djinns? Don't! Instead, come talk to me, and we'll come to a solution together!
