That last gobbo would stand there, missing an arm, punctured in a kidney, liver, and spleen, fading in and out of consciousness at the far end of where the drawbridge would go, and his last sight would be the drawbridge dropping down and smashing him like a bug.

God DAMN I love this game!

Find a merchant.
In humans' towns stores.

Also, capitalize and use punctuation.

This.is.not.IM.

Hell, I use perfect English, even on IM. Even on Twitter.

Have you selected something for him to trade to you and something for you to trade in return?

I read the wiki, my good chaps, and proceed verily with its instructions, but it does not work as I have planned. The fine chap I was trading with perplexedly responded: "yes trade and trade we will."

Please help me, for I am in dire need.
*Sigh*

You probably didn't select anything to trade from his inventory.

Thats because the corpses aren't worth jack. I don't think you read the wiki, since it states, and I quote "You can also sell things to traders. Bones, corpses, body parts and rocks are not valuable, no matter how attached you are to a particularly aerodynamic kobold head".

try again

I think the best solution here is to make a video of trading, once and for all. This well let any noobs see the entire process with all the niggling details. And then they won't make threads about it.
