Jim: "I'm sooooo damnnnnnn Boooooooooooored!"
Irumina: "Feel free to take a tumble down that cliffside then, that might spice things up a bit."
Jim: "I'll pass, I've had my fair share of rocky tumbles, thank you. Most of them end with my back full of saguaro cactus needles."
In the back of a horse drawn carriage, the three adventurers, Kori, Jim, and Irumina sat while Tatsu drove. They'd been on the road for about a month and a half without any real issues. Lots of dumb mosters were slain, but nothing much else.
Kori: "We have more than enough supplies and money to get to the western capital of the Ankoku Empire without making any stops. My only concern is jim. If I have to listen to him sing another Toby Keith song, I think I'm gonna go insane."
Jim: What's wrong with Toby Keith? I'll have you know, i had all of his albums on cassette *back in the day* so if you would excuse me… Ahem… ~Now this nation that i looove is fallin' under atta- gak!"
Kori: "That's it, I'm killing him! Don't worry though, it'll be quick and painful, 'courtesy of the red, white, and blue'!"
Tatsu: "hey back there! I think I see something up ahead that doesn't bode well for us!"
Irumina: "what is it?"
Tatsu: "I'm not sure. I figured you might know."

Irumina: "That thing is called a chiron."
Chiron, beasts of incredible power. Most of them are big dumb brutes, but there are a select few that are intelligent. They kinda look like centaurs with wolf heads, which is fitting because in earth mythology, Chiron was the name of a great centaur.
Tatsu: "That's cool, but what should we do?"
Kori: "I vote we steer clear of it. Who knows if it's one of the smarter ones or not."
Irumina: "No way, I think we should kill it. On the off chance that it's intelligent, we can probably negotiate with it. We could give it Jim in exchange for safe passage.
Tatsu: "I think that offer is too low, there's no way he'd want jim. It would be like poisoning the chiron."
Jim: "Don't I have a say in the matter?"
Kori sighed: "if you really want to approach it, that's fine, I suppose. Worst case scenario, we die a gruesome death."
