Though he ran to follow the macaw down the hall, Brutrumukk was in two minds about who to side with.

On the one hand, he really wanted to take the head of the cat ogre that had thrown him off course and was now just assuming that he would forget about that and become an accomplice in whatever theft this was.

On the other hand though, Brutrumukk couldn't deny that the palace's treasure was a tempting aspect of forgetting that inconvenience for the time being. Also, while he liked his chances against one ogre sized cat, he wasn't so sure about two. Two would have been no bother if he was still a bugbear and had all his gear. But now? While he was a barely armed gnome? Brutrumukk was not certain how that would pan out...

But then there was whether or not the cats could be trusted to consider. It seemed they were in the process of betraying some deal they made with Ishaan. Who's to say they wouldn't betray him too? Then again, Ishaan was some kind of nobility. Depending on what kind, the chance to cause him trouble would be reward enough even if he received no treasure.

Though there was a chance that he could get both bloodshed and treasure if Ishaan was the sort of noble who was generous with their wealth. There weren't many, but they were out there.

[color=brown]"Oi! Birdbrain!"[/color] Brutrumukk called out once he had caught up with the macaw enough to get within speaking distance. [color=brown]"This Ishaan git what runs the place. Is 'e the sort o' nob what likes to give lots o' treasure to folks what 'elp 'im?"[/color]
