Well, well... looks like the pup's got some bite after all! I see that you're tough enough to at least survive in this forest. Looks like I might have to re-evaluate where you stand in the food chain. Hmm. I'll admit you've made these woods a little safer by what you've done. And for that, you're welcome here in our camp.

The name's Taggrin. I'm the leader of this little band of "bandits" you see here. <laughs> Feel free to warm yourself by the fire. If you need to resupply, you can enter the supply tent and buy stuff from Mo. I'll tell him to open up for you.

"Bandits." Ha! That's a good one!

I said 50 Phantom Seeds. Count 'em and you'll see you're still short. It ain't as flashy as fighting, but last I checked, basic math was still considered a necessary life skill.
