Barl has a friendly grin. "Sublevel One? It's my little welcome center for new visitors."
"This is your house?"
"No, I work here. My home is on the surface. Do I look like a dwarf who would live in a cave?" And he laughs.
You laugh, too. "No, you would be a pretty big dwarf!"
"You will need some equipment if you want to go on. You do want to go on, don't you?"
"I don't know," you say. "I don't know what it's all about. It feels dangerous."
Barl laughs. "Don't be afraid! You won't be harmed on Sublevel One! Later? Maybe..." And he winks at you.
You don't feel very reassured, so you ask, "But what's it all about? I don't get it."
He laughs again. "Of course you don't get it yet. You're on the outside looking in. Let's get you equipped and into the game and then you'll feel more at home."
"So it's a game?" you ask.
"Don't jump to conclusions!" Barl says with a grin. "Don't make up your mind until you get into it."
