Interactions

Keren stands beside  Crimson's cage in the Circus of the Last Days, at X: -57 Y: -34. Keren reveals a violent streak if spoken to, voicing its wish that Crimson eat the fingers of any children who get too close to his cage.

When the  Dribbles impersonator signals the ambush to start (or combat with it otherwise begins), Keren and Ryland spend their first turns unlocking the animal cages holding Crimson and  Shadow-Whiskers, unless they were were previously freed or pacified. After the cages are open, they use  Morphic Ambush and revert to their native doppelganger forms.

Tampering with the cages, including unlocking and opening them, turns Keren, Dribbles and Ryland  Temporarily Hostile if detected.
