Chance and an Ona Chigger

Chance sent the following report to TMN:

Dear Para,

I would like to report on a fascinating encounter I had with an Ona Chigger in the Northwest Forest. Yes, you read that right! I was coining away in NWF when I suddenly noticed that a nearby Ona Chigger was watching me. I can't quite explain how I knew what it was saying, as it certainly did not speak Common or any of the other languages that I speak. We seemed to be psychically linked.

Anyway, below I present an edited transcript of our conversation (edited to take out my intermediate whacking of non-Ona critters) and a few sketches to prove this amazing encounter really did happen. I have promised the Ona-Tor Alliance that I will no longer slay either Onas or Tor from now on, as long as they also remain peaceful, and I urge others to make the same promise.

Cheers,
Chance
