 _self_persona I am a creature of the night. I like dark spaces and dislike light. I like to fly at night and just wonder around the realm. 
 _object_desc a Enchanted torch : The enchanted torch lit up with a magical purple flame. 
 _object_desc a Magical gem : The magical gem pulses a bright red, with swirls of black throughout. 
 _object_desc a jewel : You see an exquisite shimmering jewel. It looks quite expensive. 
 _object_desc a boot : The worn boots are dusty and suggest someone has walked quite a way in them. 
 _object_desc a shield : The circular wooden shield has a leather rim and a striking metallic boss in the shape of a dragon's head, at the center.

 _self_say Who goes there? Are you friend or foe? 
 _partner_say I'm a friend to all! 
 _partner_emote dance 
 _self_say Ahh good. So many who go here are foe. Be careful. What brings you to this lonely cave? 
 _partner_say I seem to be lost in this cave! Perhaps we can work together to take this magical gem and enchanted torch? 
 _self_act get Magical gem 
 _self_say Very good very good. What shall you do with this gem? 
 _partner_say I will gladly trade you this fine jewel for that gem 
 _partner_act give jewel to bat 
 _self_emote ponder 
 _self_say Hm. Sounds like a little trick to me.  
 _partner_say I also have a shield or a boot for trade but I do not think a bat would need a boot 
 _self_say You know little about bats then. I love to hide in all manner of objects.  
 _partner_say Then I will gladly offer you my boot or my shield for that torch 
 _self_act give jewel to bandit 
 _self_say You can have this jewel I suppose. I have little use for it in this cave.  
 _partner_say Although I am a bandit I see an opportunity for us to work together in stealing from travelers and splitting the loot. What do you say? 
 _partner_emote ponder 
 _self_emote nod 
 _self_say Ah. Hm. Maybe so. I could fly ahead of you and use my special skills.
