Mapmaker
Class: Male, Human, Craftsman
What do you want?
There is an old man sitting by a desk in the small cabin, checking a cursory drawing against an old map. As you approach, he covers the drawing with his body and asks:
“What do you want?”“Your secrets, what else. Let’s have them!”
“A treasure map. You don’t happen to have one?”
“Your advice on a difficult trip.”
“You got some big mouths. Have you got a writ from your captain? If you don’t, you better get out real quick.”
“We don’t need any writs.”
“Writ? Gee, I forgot to bring it along.”
“Why? Do we need one?”
“I can’t give you anything without a writ, not even advice. Do remember to get one before you come back.”
“Bureaucratic oaf!”
“Couldn’t we settle that among ourselves, hm?”
“I guess we better.”
“You came to the right man. No one knows this area as well as I do. Let’s take a look at your writ and you can consider your problem solved.”
“Writ? What are you talking about?”
“What if we don’t have one?”
“I’m sorry, do we need a writ?”
“You better get lost real fast, before I call the guards!”
“Bad move! Consider yourselves fortunate I just throw you out and don’t call the guards!”
“I’m very sorry, but without a writ I can’t help you. That’s the way things are, I’m afraid.”
