Talking to Cohen
Only on the first time
- Cohen: So much to do. So little time. What are you doing under my feet?
- Choose option
Who are you?
- Player: Who are you?
- Cohen: I am the steward of Lord Brannof. I'm the one who does all the real work around this place.
- (Shows the previous options.)
What a nice house you have. Very tasteful decor.
- Player: What a nice house you have. Very tasteful decor.
- Cohen: Alas it is not mine. Though I am in charge of keeping it nice.
- (Shows the previous options.)
Maybe I could help you in some way.
- Player: Maybe I could help you in some way.
- Cohen: Most of my tasks require my personal expertise ... though I do have one job that requires a nobody.
- Player: I'll have you know. I'm a member of the local guard.
- Cohen: Yep. That works.
- Player: So, what do you need?
- Cohen: We've err ... lost a sizeable shipment of Carthian plumbatae. They were shipped to Hopeport on a boat named The Vincible, but they were claimed by a miscreant pretending to work for me.
- Cohen: I've made some inquiries, but I'm a known representative of Lord Brannof, so Hopeport's less savory characters keep their mouths shut when I'm about.
- Cohen: I need you to deduce who has our weapons, and then report back to me.
- Choose option
Where should I start looking?
- Player: Where should I start looking?
- Cohen: You could talk to Captain Shirker of the Vincible. He's docked in port.
- Cohen: Also ask around in the Hooked Hand. If there's stolen goods to be brought, the clientele there will know about it.
- Cohen: Just don't reveal that you're a guard. Those types aren't inclined to help the law.
- (Shows the previous options.)
What are plumbatae? They sound like a type of fruit.
- Player: What are plumbatae? They sound like a type of fruit.
- Cohen: They are thrown weapons. Sometimes they're known as war darts.
- (Shows the previous options.)
Why did you order a large weapons delivery?
- Player: Why did you order a large weapons delivery?
- Cohen: Well done. You seem to have the investigative instincts you'll need for this job.
- Player: Thank you. So why DID you order such a large weapons delivery?
- Cohen: What with the goblins getting so aggressive, Lord Brannof graciously allowed his household the means to protect themselves.
- Cohen: So I found a merchant offering some great bulky buys. It worked out better to buy extra and sell the spares on. Not for personal gain you understand.
- Player: Yes I understand. Nothing suspicious there.
- (Shows the previous options.)
Sorry, I need to be going.
- Player: Sorry, I need to be going.
I'm here on behalf of the city guard. You needed help with something?
- Player: I'm here on behalf of the city guard. You needed help with something?
- Cohen: Yes, though the guards disrespect me by only sending a recruit.
- Choose option
Hey, I'm might be a recruit, but I'm not an idiot.
- Player: Hey, I'm might be a recruit, but I'm not an idiot.
- Cohen: Maybe. Maybe not. However there are advantages to you being unknown.
- (Continues above.)
So, what do you need?
Sorry, I need to be going.
- Player: Sorry, I need to be going.
I need to get going.
- Player: I need to get going.
Afterwards
- Cohen: How are you progressing with finding that shipment?
- Player: I was still following up on the leads you suggested.
