Yes?
Any news from the country?
Everything’s just as it’s always been around here. The roads are either flooded or snowed under, depending on the season. The old magician is still conducting experiments in his tower, the dwarves continue digging into the ground, and the Stoerrebrandt College is churning out guard escorts for trading caravans, although they like to pretend differently…
Do you believe there’s a conspiracy between orcs and Holberkians?
Hogwash! We’ve never had any problems with the orcs or the Holberkians. Especially now, with the trading routes to the south cut off, good relations wtith the orcs are of the highest importance.
What do you know about the rat-catcher?
Yes, we’ve got one in town and the people talk a lot about the fellow. But most of that seems to be nothing but worthless drivel.
Have you heard anything about the monster down in the sewers?
Nothing believable. Just the usual bull!
How about those pirates?
They’re thieving, murdering, and ransacking - just as the Thorwalians have been doing for centuries!
Do you know anything about the guild or the tradesmaster?
Ui Chearghail was sentenced, freed by his friends, and has disappeared. Since then, he’s been keeping the guards busy.
Do you know Tarik?
Yes! And if you know him, too, it casts a doubtful light on your own character!
What do you know about the judge then?
Bosper? He’s a dirty old man.
I know you’re a blacksmith, but do you have weapons, too?
Sure I do! Of course, I’m not as well stocked as an arms merchant, but I do have some items to offer. - Take a look, you might find something. The only thing I haven’t got is armor, but you can get that from Rodebrecht, the armorer!
Bye then!
I must get back to work. - Bye!
