Guild Wars 2

So I’ve seen a few people mention the secret area where the line “The owls are not what they seem” is said, but I thought I’d share my theory on this. First off, let’s note that the NPC that tells us this line is a Shopkeeper. Next to this secret area is the shop with one of the flute songs, leading to a secret basement filled with… owls! So this got me thinking, what better way for shopkeepers to make some extra cash that filching it from passing travelers! I suspect that owls serve as an indication that a shop (secret or in plain sight) is nearby. Some areas that support this include the second hillbilly encounter in 2-1 where the shop hut has owls assailing you from the nearby trees and the nun-chuck shop in 2-2 has an owl in a nearby tree.

Anyone have any other opinions or evidence of owls assisting those thievin’ shopkeepers?

I find it amusing a line from Twin Peaks got a mention in SAB…

I can’t interact with this guy. Is there a prerequisite?
