A Suspicious-Looking Guy

A Suspicious-Looking Guy hangs out in the Typical Tavern in the Distant Woods. He's pushing something called "bottle of goofballs". The first one's free, but each successive hit will cost you 1,000 meat more than last time.

Hey, man. You, uh, you wanna try some goofballs? First bottle's free, man.

• When carrying a gloomy black mushroom:

Hey man. You wanna... woah! That's one heckuva gloomy black mushroom you've got there. Those things are awe-- uh, I mean, those things are highly toxic and totally bad for you. Listen, you should let me take that off your hands. Lemme swap you this oily golden mushroom for it.

Yeah, all right

The suspicious-looking guy takes your gloomy black mushroom and smiles that unsettling little smile that makes you nervous. "Sweet, man. Here ya go."

You acquire an item: oily golden mushroom

(Only one mushroom is traded at a time.)

No way, man

The suspicious-looking guy looks annoyed. He says, "Yeah, fine, whatever."

Notes

• At the time of the Gray Plague, if you were infected, you could get rose-colored glasses from him.

Hey, man. You're, uh, you're looking kinda pale there, man. Here. Take these, man. They'll make everything all better.

You acquire an item: rose-colored glasses

• Prior to October 22, 2010, the suspicious-looking guy was found on the Wrong Side of the Tracks in Seaside Town.

• In a Zombie Slayer run, the Suspicious-Looking Guy is unresponsive:

It looks like whatever the SLG was selling, it wasn't a cure for the zombie plague. You try to get his attention, but he seems to be off in his own little universe.

Probably just as well. There's no telling how those goofballs of his might react with your altered physiology.

• Wearing a suspicious-looking fedora, does elicit a response.

  Hey, man. That's a sweet hat. You, uh, you wanna try some goofballs?

• When trying to buy goofballs you cannot afford:

  You can't afford these, man.
