Brintec Dev-Onni |
|
YOU: I was wondering if you had any more work I could do? |
|
Brintec: Now that you've helped me, I'm a bit more confident in your abilities. |
Brintec: I am doing some research on the fur used for my carpets and it seems to me that Bjorid Haakthir is not giving me the same quality materials as in the past. |
Brintec: Can you help me? |
|
YOU: Oh, this sounds interesting, count me in. |
|
Brintec: Great, at least I can count on you. |
Brintec: Here is my plan: go to Bjorid and try to investigate which materials he uses for his latest carpets. |
Brintec: Then ask him some prices, and come back to me. |
Brintec: I will then compare those materials and prices to the ones he gives me. |
Brintec: See you later. |

Bjorid Haakthir |
|
YOU: Hello. I am interested in learning more about your carpets. |
|
Bjorid: Oh, you are very welcome in my shop and laboratory! |
Bjorid: So you want to know more about my carpets… |
Bjorid: it's a broad field, what you would like to know in particular? |
|
YOU: What kind of materials do you use? |
|
Bjorid: The materials vary a lot from customer to customer, but in general I use fur from animals that have been hunted in the last three months. |
Bjorid: That assures the best quality. |
Bjorid: For low volumes I usually hunt those myself; in times of higher demand, I just buy the hides in the same place when new caravans arrive in town. |
|
YOU: Where is this place? |
|
Bjorid: Eh, telling you my tricks is not something I would like to do. |
Bjorid: I can just tell you that the workers here in Dsar Akkaio know me very well, so they select the best hides for me. |
Bjorid: Merrinez is particularly helpful; he has a good eye for fur. |
Bjorid: Feel free to ask him about me. |
Bjorid: What else you would like to know? |
|
YOU: What are the prices? |
|
Bjorid: Well, I can show you what I have, maybe the most expensive and least expensive, so you have a rough idea. |
Bjorid: This fine one hundred square meter carpet made of Ulbernaut fur costs about five thousand trias. |
Bjorid: This one, twenty five square meters, is made of mixed bear and fox is about forty trias. |
Bjorid: I'm sorry, but now I have to return to my work. |
Bjorid: If you need something else just ask. |

Merrinez Dholant |
|
YOU: Hello. Do you know Bjorid Haakthir'd? |
|
Merrinez: Oh yes, I know him pretty well. |
Merrinez: He makes and repairs carpets. |
Merrinez: I sell him materials from the caravans pretty often. |
Merrinez: He's a good customer… |
|
YOU: What can you tell me about the material he uses for his carpets? |
|
Merrinez: Well, the fur is usually retrieved by caravans, where big merchants collect the goods from local hunters. |
Merrinez: So I have different sources each time. |
|
YOU: Who are these merchants? |
|
Merrinez: I can name you a few if you want, they're not a big secret. |
Merrinez: Mainly they're the same people, like Ervin, Edrich, Hygrnn… |
Merrinez: reputable names. |
Merrinez: Mind you, recently there has been a new guy selling furs who has very low prices. |
Merrinez: His name is Thorian. |
|
YOU: What can you tell me about Thorian? |
|
Merrinez: Now that you ask me, I remember his name because it wasn't on the order list. |
Merrinez: I was surprised to see that some of his boxes had no official source. |
Merrinez: I asked the caravan driver where he got the goods because the source is usually present on orders. |
Merrinez: He minimized the issue, saying he just forgot to write it. |
Merrinez: He told me the name 'Thorian' or something similar. |
Merrinez: That's all I can really say about it. |

Thorian Gronk |
|
YOU: I am interested in some furs. |
|
Thorian: Hey, why are you interested in furs? |
|
-Thorian Gronk looks at you suspiciously.- |
|
Thorian: I'm not a fur seller or buyer. |
Thorian: I never sold furs… |
Thorian: and if someone told you something different, than he is wrong! |
Thorian: Do you think I could sell furs without a shop? |
|
-Thorian Gronk becomes red in the face.- |
|
Thorian: The major fur shops are in Ojaveda, how do you think I can bring those there? |
Thorian: It's very far! |
|
-Thorian Gronk puts on a haughty expression, daring you to answer him.- |
|
YOU: You sell the fur to the caravan. |
|
Thorian: Well … |
Thorian: I could probably, but I didn't! |
|
-Thorian gets more nervous.- |
|
Thorian: You have no proof of that! |
Thorian: There are many caravans, and many fur sellers! |
Thorian: Also, I didn't write my name on the boxes! |
|
-Thorian claps a hand over his mouth.- |
|
Thorian: Ouch… |
Thorian: erm… |
Thorian: I mean… |
Thorian: we should stop this discussion now. |
Thorian: Go away! |
|
-It doesn't look like Thorian will talk to you about the subject any more.- |

Bjorid Haakthir |
|
YOU: tells Bjorid the story. |
|
Bjorid: Ah, that's terrible! |
Bjorid: Are you saying that some boxes were delivered to Ojaveda by this Thorian guy and there is something not quite right about them? |
Bjorid: Well, I can check the latest ones I received right now. |
|
-Bjorid opens a large crate… and starts to observe closely some furs with a lens… a few minutes pass.- |
|
Bjorid: Oh my, this is sheared goujah fur, cut and painted to resemble a higher quality one! |
Bjorid: Luckily I've only used a few of them for now. |
Bjorid: Let me check… |
Bjorid: ah, I gave some to Brintec, one of my best customers! |
Bjorid: Please apologise on my behalf to him, and tell him I will send a replacement for the bad carpets. |

Brintec Dev-Onni |
|
Brintec: Ah, that's why. |
Brintec: I decided to stop buying furs from him given the poor quality of the latest ones, but your story explains much. |
Brintec: It's not his fault. |
Brintec: I will inform the guards about that guy even if there's no proof that he's done anything wrong. |
Brintec: They should keep an eye on him. |
Brintec: You have been very useful to me! |
Brintec: You deserve this reward from me. |
Brintec: Thanks. |
