It would also have a poisonous bite, and its blunt attacks would be devastating. Make it a thrall and we have a deal.

Granted. You get killed.

I wish that I knew the best something to do at all times.

If they,re also slower...well, speed is an important thing. The first blow can be decisive.

Level 3 magic should be rare, and level 4 restricted to really powerful magical beings. This is as much for game reasons and tone as anything.

You determine that the only exits are a hole in the constructed wall leading to the kobold-settled part of the caverns and the aforementioned pit. From the caverns you could head back to the surface or flee through light less depths. Kitsune can see well in low light, like that provided by the soft glow of some of the items on the wall and the piercing light in the eyes of the kobolds, but complete darkness? No thanks. You're no dwarf. You quickly free the guy who is, though.

The dwarf looks up, and starts to thank you n the human tounge before noticing your ears, at which point the he starts muttering in Dwarvish. Kitsune hail from an island a couple dozen miles off the mainland, but they tend to keep to themselves. The number and stature of kitsune mages makes the outside world think of them as magical spirits more than normal people like elves or men. Many humans thought you could breathe fire, turn into a fox, or would grant wishes to those who captured you, among others. Humans, with their ships and ports, have more contact with kitsune than any other race; dwarves have isolationist tenancies surpassed only by the most conservative of kitsune.
It's hardly a surprise he acts like a terrified peasant.
"She, quiet, I'm not going to hurt you...look, is there anything you'd like me to tell you?"
He glances up. "Say that ye won't harm me o' any o' me fam'lee o' friends."
Surprised, you comply.
"Say that ye won't cast a spell on me.
"...Okay..."
"Okee wha'?"
"Okay, I will not cast a spell on you.
"Good. I dunnoe what ye did to tha vermin, but I donnae like et. Now then...Why ye be here, fox-spirit?"
You decide to correct him. "I don't know what legends you've heard, but we kitsune aren't spirits."
The dwarf pauses a moment, as if trying to find a flaw in your logic. He smiles a moment in minor triumph, then repeats, "Why ye be here, kitsune?" The work falls out of his mouth like gravel.
"I was brought here by a dragon."
"Aye, but why?"
"Because the dragon wanted the things I was carrying? I don't know."
"Spare me year lip, ye...nevar mind. What's yer plan now, kitsune?"
You're getting annoyed about being called "kitsune," and I'm getting tired of typing it and writing dialogue around your lack of a name. What is your name, and what are your plans?

Party!

Granted. You travel forward in time at a rate of one century per day.

I wish that I knew the best thing to do at all times.

Did you set certain crops to be grown there?
