... The Den is an anarchistic place where a kind of Darwinian struggle is played out. Only the strongest, fastest or smartest will survive here. I’m sure you will find your niche.
The soft spoken proprietor of the Den's weapons shop is an intelligent man who can help the Chosen One understand the basis of the town's economy. Just how other cities might use grain or gold, the Den runs on drugs. Drugs Tubby also provides.[1]
↑The Chosen One: "{173}{}{Why is everyone selling drugs?}" Tubby: "{182}{}{OK. Drugs are the basis for this town’s economic system, just as another town may use grain or gold.}" (DcTubby.msg)
↑The Chosen One: "{174}{}{Do you know where the Vault is located?}" Tubby: "{184}{}{I have heard of a place called Vault City. But unfortunately, I can't help you with directions. You see, very few of us towns can offer acceptable exchange for the medical services they provide, so most of us have never been there.}" (DcTubby.msg)
