'Wait! Hear me out, Player! I am not your enemy!
'It is true that I deceived you and your hobbit friend, but I did not truly wish for either of you to come to harm. The more I dwelled upon it, the more I realized I could not stand with my brothers in this. When their guard relaxed, I freed Bingo from his cage and we fled from Gabilazan. But in our haste, that poor hobbit did not pay close attention to his footing, and the ground gave way!
'Bingo fell down this hole, and I fear he fell beyond the reach of my voice, for he has not responded to my calls. I think I heard splashing from far below, but I cannot be certain. If he did survive, he will need supplies. If you return to Gabilazan and collect bundles of food and the bottles of water the dwarves carry, we can drop them down the hole after Bingo! If he did survive, he will need any of the water and food we can provide to him.
'Please trust me, Player! I will do all I can to make this right!'1/1

'I feel really bad about this, Player. I swear to you that I will help you find your friend, wherever he has ended up on my account. I am certain he will be fine, and we will all laugh about this when it is done. I will do some thinking about our next step, but know that I will not abandon the search until we find him safe and sound. I will make this right!'
