— Skritt King

Skritt King is the ruler of Skrittsburgh, the skritt underground scratch inside Mount Gnashington in Brisban Wildlands. He strives to unite and strengthen his people despite frequent attacks from the Sinister Triad and destroyers. Although protected by the Royal Guard, the life expectancy of a skritt in this position is not long.

From time to time an attack on the king will occur. The event fails if the king dies, which will cause the three city gates to be () closed to outsiders until each of the gates are secured, upon the success of Skrittsburgh Center (meta event). At that point the city gates () will be reopened with a new king at the throne.

Dialogue

Greetings. My subjects have chitter-chatted much about you, outsider. Consider yourself welcomed to Skrittsburgh.

Who are you?

I am the king of Skrittsburgh Center. I rule over all skritt here. I guide this city, help make sure we build together, thrive, and become more than scavengers.

How long have you been king?

Not long. Being the king is dangerous. Too many want the city to fall, want to steal us, kill us. Enemies come to kill the king. Last king, he lasted four months. King before him, three nights.

Who wants your city to fall?

Evil gray-ears want to torture us. So do bad plant-men. Under the ground comes the most dangerous. Destroyers, made of fire, teeth, and pain.

Then I wish you luck, your highness.

I wish you luck, then.

More than scavengers? You're organizing the skritt into what?

Skritt aren't much alone. One...two, they scavenge. A dozen, we can think, build, grow. A city of skritt could create new designs, not steal from others. We seek something larger. Civilization.

How long have you been king? (Same as above)

Good-bye.

Interesting. Thanks.

(If the player has recieved the royal decree but didn't move on yet)

Please remind me what I should do with this decree.

Permit to spread Wintersday cheer in Skrittsburgh! Deal with grumpy skritt!

Thanks.

(If the player has a Shiny Cog in inventory)

Great Skritt King, I come with a Wintersday gift from Rikka in Rata Sum.

Rikka? Rikka owes many shiny. Never will pay up. Banned from Skrittsburg. What do you have to offer me?

One shiny cog. Just for you.

Big shiny! This is maybe the best Wintersday ever! Maybe there is good in the world if even Rikka can repay debts. I feel like a new king! Skrittsburg needs a more festive feeling...

That wouldn't be a bad idea.

I have an idea... I help calm your angry Wintersday gift, and you help me create Wintersday cheer in Skrittsburg. Many grumpy skritt. Everybody wins! Merry Wintersday, yes yes!

That sounds good.

Show the big-teeth angry shiny some Wintersday cheer. Make angry shiny happy. Make skritt happy! Skritt King royal decree says Wintersday parties are now allowed!

Great! Let's do it!

(If you have Shiny Orb in your inventory)

I've brought you a shiny.

Thank you. This will bring inspiration to many skritt.

You're welcome.

Thanks.

During attacks on the king

Stay together! Fight together! We can survive this threat!

I'll help you and your people.
