• Player: What? Where?
• Captain Waltain: In the Goose Inn, a few days ago. You should ask around in there. See if anyone knows anything useful.
• Player: Thanks. I'll do that.

The Goose Inn

• Rachella: Lenny works me so hard. I could do with a break about now.
• Choose option
  • Why not take a quick breather?
  • I'm looking for a red robed sorcerer.
    • Player: I'm looking for a red robed sorcerer.
    • Rachella: Ooh yeah. A guy like that was in here.
    • Player: Do you know where he might be now?
    • Rachella: Um ... I shouldn't tell you stuff like that. Lenny says customer privacy is essential.
    • Choose option
      • Don't let Lenny boss you around so.
        • Player: Don't let Lenny boss you around so.
        • Rachella: He's the only one who'd give me a job though. There ain't many prospects for a girl from Morose Lane.
      • Anything I can do to change your mind?
        • Rachella: Yes, but it wouldn't be easy.
        • Rachella: I want to set up my own business selling my own handicrafts, but I need to be a member of the merchants guild to do that.
        • Rachella: Problem is they have stringent entry requirements. A commoner like me needs to prove their ability as a merchant by collecting a list of items.
        • Rachella: Some of those things are hard to find.
        • Choose option
          • Is it cheating to have someone else collect the items?
            • Player: Is it cheating to have someone else collect the items?
            • Rachella: No. I'd be trading the items from you in exchange for information. That's part of being a merchant.
          • What do I need to find?
            • Player: What do I need to find?
            • Rachella: You'll have to talk to Channer Goldway in the merchant's guild to get the current list.
            • Player: Okay I'll go talk to him.
            • Rachella: Of course if you get two of each item as you collect them, you'll get into the merchants' guild yourself.
          • I've not got time for that.
      • Okay, thanks for your help.
  • Sounds like you're a bit lazy
  • Catch you later.
