| An Opening Move |
| Required: Nothing. |
| → Go to Kisatol Gathoji |
| YOU: Do you have any jobs laying around I could help with. |
| Kisatol: Well, well. |
| -Kisatol gives you a dead-eye stare.- |
| Kisatol: The Stonehammer wants to help. |
| Kisatol: How sweet and heroic. |
| Kisatol: So tell me, Stonehammer, or shall I say YOU, are you the heroic type? |
| -Kisatol looks at you mockingly.- |
| YOU: maybe |
| Kisatol: Not bad, Trepor breath. |
| -Kisatol flashes you an insincere smile.- |
| Kisatol: With a bit of luck you might one day be able to hold up your end of a conversation. |
| Kisatol: Now tell me, who is the Lieutenant of the northern guards of Hydlaa? |
| YOU: jefecra |
| Kisatol: Right. |
| -Kisatol nods to himself.- |
| Kisatol: Always know the opposi… |
| Kisatol: the landscape. |
| Kisatol: This is what I want. |
| Kisatol: Go to Hydlaa and get me the betting odds for the upcoming Octarch's Chess tournament. |
| -Kisatol's mocking smile returns.- |
| Kisatol: It should not prove too difficult for someone with your… |
| Kisatol: outstanding abilities. |
| -Kisatol smirks.- |
| Kisatol: Do try not to get robbed on the way. |
| → Go to Darven Bounash |
| YOU: Do you know the betting odds for the Octarch's chess tournament. |
| Darven: Ah. |
| -Darven beams at you.- |
| Darven: A kindred spirit. |
| Darven: A fellow dabbler in the arts of chance. |
| Darven: Let me see. |
| -Darven rummages about his person and eventually produces a weathered scrap of paper.- |
| Darven: Er… |
| Darven: I have calculated preliminary odds but there are based on last year's event. |
| -Darven thinks a bit.- |
| Darven: If you can get me a list of this year's participants I can work out starting odds. |
| Darven: If I'm not mistaken, Talisa Tamariss is involved in organising the event. |
| Darven: If you ask her about the tournament I'll lay you six to four she might be able to help. |
| → Go to Talisa Tamariss |
| YOU: I am looking forward to the chess tournament. Any news on it? |
| Talisa: This is going to be such a great tournament. |
| Talisa: The Vigesimi herself agreed to play this year. |
| Talisa: And most of the best players in Yliakum have entered. |
| -Talisa smiles happily.- |
| Talisa: You may have a copy of the tournament list. |
| → Go to Darven Bounash |
| YOU: I got the list. |
| Darven: Just what I needed. |
| -Darven scans the list.- |
| Darven: Impressive field. |
| -Darven whistles.- |
| Darven: And the Vigesimi too! |
| -Darven takes out a piece of paper and starts to scribble furiously. He writes for minute or two and then stops to look his list over.- |
| Darven: There. |
| Darven: That looks about right. |
| Darven: All yours. |
| -Darven gives you the list of odds.- |
| Darven: If you happen to find any interested bettors, just send them my way. |
| -Darven gives you a sly wink.- |
| → Go to Kisatol Gathoji |
| Kisatol: So the Stonehammer returns. |
| -Kisatol examines the list and mumbles to himself.- |
| Kisatol: Good. |
| Kisatol: She is playing after all. |
| Kisatol: We can set things in motion then. |
| -Kisatol looks up at you.- |
| Kisatol: Still here? |
| Kisatol: Now I expect you want a little something for your trouble. |
| -Kisatol digs into his pockets and flicks you a few coins.- |
| Kisatol: Try not to spend it all in one place. |
