Gurgus Dahnik |
|
YOU: Do you have any work I can do? |
|
Gurgus: Ah, a young Kran in search of glory and fortune, eh? |
Gurgus: Excellent! |
|
-Gurgus looks thoughtful for a moment, looking you over with a critical eye.- |
|
Gurgus: It just so happens I may have a rather important task for you. |
Gurgus: The Vigesimi of this village is hosting a party in a few days and almost all of the items for the feast have arrived. |
|
-Gurgus eyes you carefully, slightly amused.- |
|
Gurgus: You are willing to work on this with me? |
|
YOU: A party! Sounds like fun. |
|
Gurgus: Excellent. |
Gurgus: Yes, young Kran, I do like your spirit. |
Gurgus: Very well, here is my first test of your mind! |
Gurgus: A simple question: We are little creatures; all of us have different features. |
Gurgus: One of us in glass is set; one of us you'll find in jest. |
Gurgus: Another you may see in tin, and the fourth is boxed within. |
Gurgus: If the fifth you should pursue, it can never fly from you. |
Gurgus: What are we? |
Gurgus: You will have but one chance to answer my tests correctly, so please think -very- carefully on this. |
Gurgus: When you think you know, come and tell me your answer. |
Gurgus: It should be simple, and just one word. |
|
YOU: vowels |
|
-Gurgus laughs.- |
|
Gurgus: Yes, they are all there are they not? |
|
-Gurgus laughs.- |
|
Gurgus: Now for my second test: No sooner spoken than broken. |
Gurgus: What is it? |
Gurgus: Once more, return when you think you know the answer and tell me. |
Gurgus: I remind you, there is only one chance. |
Gurgus: Think very carefully! |
|
YOU: secret |
|
-Gurgus smiles.- |
|
Gurgus: Indeed it is, for secrets are meant to be kept. |
Gurgus: Do you understand? |
|
-Gurgus looks at you and nods deeply without waiting for a response.- |
|
Gurgus: Now we can get down to the business at hand. |
Gurgus: As I said before, there are some items for the feast that are missing. |
Gurgus: Now ordinarily, Jirosh is quite reliable, but this is intolerable. |
Gurgus: Take this and visit Jirosh in Ojaveda. |
Gurgus: Make sure to give him this list, he will not work with you otherwise. |
Gurgus: Very particular, that one, especially when he's done wrong. |

Jirosh Mikana |
|
YOU: hands Jirosh the inventory list. |
|
Jirosh: What, what's this? |
|
-Jirosh reads the list, his eyes widening with each line.- |
|
Jirosh: Talad's eyes, I sent these things a week ago! |
|
-Jirosh frowns at the list and then sighs with a bit of a growl.- |
|
Jirosh: It wasn't my fault, I swear! |
Jirosh: It is a long way from here to Gugrontid and much can happen. |
Jirosh: Please, tabei, will you help me? |
|
YOU: Very well, I can help you. |
|
Jirosh: Oh, thank you, tabei! |
|
-Jirosh sighs and leans on the counter, his head in his paws.- |
|
Jirosh: The Vigesimi would have my merchant's license for this mix-up. |
Jirosh: As you might have guessed, this is not the first time it has happened. |
Jirosh: I have been having some trouble with shipments disappearing along that road. |
|
-Jirosh glances around quickly before continuing in a hushed voice.- |
|
Jirosh: I have heard rumours of bandits working in the area, but I don't know much more than that. |
Jirosh: If you talk to Finara Plund in Hydlaa, she may be able to tell you more. |
Jirosh: Just tell her that I sent you and she will know what it is about. |
|
-Jirosh stands up straight again and looks around. A sense of relief is evident on his face.- |

Finara Plund |
|
YOU: Jirosh sent me to see you. |
|
Finara: I see. |
|
-Finara nods.- |
|
Finara: So, you are the one he has sent to look into his shipping problems? |
Finara: Hmph. |
Finara: You look a bit scrawny, but I suppose you'll do. |
|
-Finara chuckles before turning to more serious business.- |
|
Finara: Well, it is true that there seems to be an elusive batch of bandits plaguing the road between here and Gugrontid. |
Finara: I heard they are led by a Dermorian woman. |
Finara: Rumour has it they are lurking somewhere on the road beyond the forest. |
Finara: Perhaps you could look there. |
|
-Finara laughs cheerfully.- |
|
Finara: Good hunting, Kran, and don't lose your head! |

Ukabnu |
|
YOU: Can you tell me about Jirosh's missing shipments? |
|
-Ukabnu laughs.- |
|
Ukabnu: You must be kidding, dung-breath. |
Ukabnu: That old menki Jirosh and his people have no idea what they are talking about. |
|
-Ukabnu smirks, her visage a mask of menacing confidence- |
|
Ukabnu: No one would dare speak against me. |
Ukabnu: This is -my- road, little ulber-toe. |
Ukabnu: What makes you think I know anything about some shipment? |
Ukabnu: You had better have yourself off before I decide to take what little you have to offer me. |
|
YOU: Finara told me. |
|
Ukabnu: That interfering wench…! |
|
-Ukabnu chuckles quietly and looks toward Hydlaa for a moment with an crooked smile. She turns back to you with a shrug.- |
|
Ukabnu: Fine, it's true. |
Ukabnu: We raided that shipment and kept a few things. |
Ukabnu: We have to eat too, you know? |
Ukabnu: Tell you what: I'll make a deal with you, little fool. |
Ukabnu: I know what we took. |
Ukabnu: Four circles for the lot, non-negotiable. |
Ukabnu: Come back when you have it and not before, or I'll have my friends here give you a good talking to. |
Ukabnu: Got it? |
|
-Ukabnu turns away without waiting for your answer.- |
|
YOU: gives Ukabnu one thousand tria. |
|
Ukabnu: Heh. |
Ukabnu: Good job, little Kran. |
|
-Ukabnu retrieves a small crate from behind a tree, and tosses it towards you.- |
|
Ukabnu: Here, take this stuff and get out of my face. |
|

Gurgus Dahnik |
|
YOU: Here are your items. |
|
-Gurgus opens the crate, and looks through it quickly.- |
|
Gurgus: Thank you, my good Kran! |
Gurgus: The Vigesimi will be very pleased to have these for the feast. |
Gurgus: You have done very, very well. |
|
-Gurgus takes a few coins out of a pouch and hands them to you.- |
|
Gurgus: Please take this with our thanks, and see me again if you need more work. |
