|
YOU: Hello. What can you tell me about merchants? |
|
Boralis: Ah, hello there. |
Boralis: You want to know about merchants, eh? |
Boralis: Well, look no further. |
Boralis: My wife and I sell leather wares among other things. |
Boralis: Leather armor is the lightest armor and is usually people's first experience with armor. |
Boralis: It's good for… |
|
-Boralis catches himself.- |
|
Boralis: See, there I go again, always pitching the products. |
Boralis: But you didn't ask about that, eh? |
|
-Boralis smiles.- |
|
Boralis: There are many merchants which sell all sorts of things. |
|
YOU: In addition to you, where can I find some? |
|
Boralis: Best to just go and investigate. |
Boralis: I should first point out, merchants will both sell things and buy things, not always in the same categories. |
Boralis: So it's best to seek out folks and find out what, if anything, they buy and sell as well as if they are a trainer of some sort. |
Boralis: Smiths and barkeeps are always a good source for such things. |
Boralis: In Hydlaa, the smith is Harnquist if you haven't already met his acquaintance. |
Boralis: His smithy is right off the plaza. |
Boralis: Allelia Symiestra is the barkeep at Kada-El's tavern. |
Boralis: She'll buy your animal parts if you go huntin'. |
Boralis: Also at the tavern, there is a cook, Jomed Parcen, who sells some food items. |
Boralis: If you're interested in taking up fishing, Burdess Quirain can get you started. |
Boralis: She can be found around the plaza, too. |
Boralis: The Grotemeys are like us, a couple with a shop which you can find on your way to the library. |
Boralis: You can sell your hides there. |
Boralis: There are many many others in every city and sometimes along the way. |
Boralis: Always check and make notes for yourself and you can't go wrong. |
|
YOU: Thanks, that's good information. Anything I can do to help? |
|
Boralis: Well, if you're looking for some work, there is Kaiman Jilatt, Ondren Torr, and Rolara Hammersong, who you can find around the plaza. |
Boralis: Over in East Hydlaa, there is a good friend, Edrich Sultov, as well as Yonda Axebow, who is also a member of the Artist Association, and Mirra Houphen, who is a cook of note. |
Boralis: I'm not sure all of them sell things publicly, but some may have work for you, so keep checking in. |
|
YOU: Where should I start? |
|
-Boralis looks concerned.- |
|
Boralis: Well, I suppose you can help us if you want. |
Boralis: Bandits have been a big problem. |
Boralis: Some time ago there was a big raid on our Emporium. |
Boralis: I was so angry my wife, Rinna, had to calm me down and insisted she would investigate. |
Boralis: Best you speak with her about it. |
Boralis: I get too worked up to think clearly. |
|
YOU: One more question. Is there an association for merchants? |
|
-Boralis nods, hesitantly.- |
|
Boralis: There is, but…well, there's a bit more competition than for other associations. |
Boralis: Merchants are more closely related to the associations their products deal with. |
Boralis: For instance, a smith buys and sells raw materials and crafting materials so is more likely a member of the Crafting Association. |
Boralis: A potion seller might be more likely a member of the Science Association, and so forth. |
Boralis: Well, to be fair I should mention there are some major merchant businesses out there, like the Mikana Trading Company out in Ojaveda. |
Boralis: I don't trust that guy though. |
Boralis: There is also this dwarf I have seen who hangs out at the tavern, but I don't know much about him. |
|
YOU: Thanks for your help. |
|
-Boralis smiles.- |
|
Boralis: No problem. |
Boralis: Merchants tend to be friendly because we could always use the business. |
Boralis: Good luck to ye! |
