Jirosh Mikana |
|
YOU: is there anything else you need me to do? |
|
Jirosh: I like a person who does fast work. |
Jirosh: I might have another job for you. |
Jirosh: Interested? |
|
YOU: Yes, what do you need me to do? |
|
Jirosh: Good, good. |
Jirosh: I have a client that deals in rare artifacts. |
Jirosh: The right merchant is here, but leaving soon, so I need this crate to be delivered to Hydlaa quickly. |
Jirosh: My client has already been waiting a good week. |
Jirosh: Just let me check its padding and… |
|
-Jirosh opens the crate.- |
|
Jirosh: …What's this?!? |
Jirosh: This isn't the statue! |
Jirosh: Someone took the statue and filled the crate with apples instead! |
Jirosh: Arg! |
Jirosh: What do I do now? |
|
-Jirosh looks crestfallen.- |
|
Jirosh: That statue was already paid for; if I fail to deliver, she'll never buy through me again. |
Jirosh: Yet I can't leave now and risk something else being stolen. |
Jirosh: Maybe you can help me. |
Jirosh: You look smart. |
Jirosh: How would you like to try and find it? |
Jirosh: If you catch the thief and recover the statue, I'll pay you a fair fee in good coin. |
Jirosh: How about it? |
|
YOU: Yes, I love a challenge. |
|
Jirosh: Thanks so much. |
Jirosh: I found this in the bottom of the crate. |
Jirosh: Not much of a clue, but…here, what do you think? |
Jirosh: Maybe you should show this around the warehouse and see what they say. |

Merrinez Dholant |
|
YOU: What do you know about this cloth. |
|
Merrinez: How did you get this? |
Merrinez: This is a cloth for polishing the bronze on a ship. |
Merrinez: And this 'Y', I remember who had this. |
Merrinez: He was a good sailor; he and his friend had a drink with me a night ago when I managed to get a break from the foreman. |
Merrinez: Are you looking for them? |
|
YOU: Yes, where can I find the sailor? |
|
Merrinez: Shame then, as you know we have no ships here! |
Merrinez: The nearest lake is still very far from here. |
Merrinez: The sailor was visiting from the sixth level; doubt you'll find him here anymore. |
Merrinez: His friend I didn't know, he had a heavy cloak on, said the night was chilly. |
Merrinez: Never did mark his race in the light, but he wasn't short enough to be a dwarf. |
Merrinez: Do you want to hear more about this person? |
|
YOU: Yes, what can you tell me? |
|
Merrinez: We talked for a bit about the deliveries coming up, mostly talking about the strange things Jirosh ships from time to time. |
Merrinez: Then I had to get back to work. |
Merrinez: Haven't seen the cloaked fellow since then. |
Merrinez: He said again the night was chilly, so I told him that if he was cold, I had some ale to warm him up. |
Merrinez: But he wouldn't take it, had some nasty stuff of his own. |
Merrinez: The mug was ruined afterwards. |
Merrinez: Here, you can take it if you want, it's worthless for anything now. |
Merrinez: Whatever he added into the mug tainted it. |

Brado |
|
YOU: What can you tell me about this mug? |
|
Brado: Where in the bowels of the Death Realm did you get this mug? |
Brado: Ug, the stench curls my whiskers. |
Brado: There's no mistaking that brew. |
Brado: It's called a Twisted Emerald. |
Brado: There are very few who drink it, so I don't serve it at this tavern. |
Brado: You'll have to find it elsewhere maybe another bar. |

Jomed Parcen |
|
YOU: What can you tell me about this mug? |
|
Jomed: A refill? |
Jomed: No? |
Jomed: I'm glad to hear that. |
Jomed: I hate serving the stuff, but there are some shady folk around who like it enough. |
Jomed: Not any Lemurs or Elves, since they can't hold it: seems it burns their stomach lining. |
Jomed: There's this one guy, though, who buys it by the lot. |
Jomed: Never got a good look at him; he hides in a huge cloak. |
Jomed: But the boss said that they pay well for us to serve it up, so I do. |
|
-Jomed ponders a bit.- |
|
Jomed: Want to hear more? |
|
YOU: Yes, where can I find them? |
|
Jomed: 'Fraid I can't tell you much more, except that I noticed that he has some kind of protective pendant around his neck. |
Jomed: What I noticed is that the pendant was made of a green gem, and had a red eye engraved on it. |
Jomed: Don't deal in that sort of religious stuff, myself; the gods don't seem to care about me, so why should I care about them? |
Jomed: You could try asking about the pendant around the temple, though; couldn't hurt. |
Jomed: Take the mug back; who knows when it'll come in handy. |
Jomed: Oh, one more thing, I think i overheard his name, it was “Smear.” or something like that. |

Sharven Xant-Areth |
|
YOU: I need to know something more about pendants. |
|
Sharven: What about pendants? |
Sharven: Many people make them; go seek them out. |
Sharven: Don't waste my time with such foolish questions. |
Sharven: I see many people. |
Sharven: What interest does this being have for you? |
|
YOU: It was worn by a thief that robbed Jirosh. |
|
Sharven: Ah, did he now? |
Sharven: Well, that lends tribute to some god's ear, but why do you think I know anything of him? |
Sharven: I sell lots of pendants to people, they seek protection against the ills of their trade. |
Sharven: Do you have any details on the pendant? |
Sharven: Like what color and material it was made of? |
|
YOU: green gem |
|
Sharven: Those are quite rare; usually we make pendants out of metal. |
Sharven: Did it have an engraving? |
Sharven: If so, of what? |
|
YOU: red eye |
|
Sharven: Oh, him! |
Sharven: I remember pretty well. |
Sharven: Normally I would not reveal anything about any members of my flock, but his manner towards me was decidedly unbecoming a worshiper of Laanx. |
Sharven: And, as you say, he is a suspect in a thievery. |
|
-Sharven hesitates, then continues.- |
|
Sharven: He never revealed his face to me: he wore a heavy cloak, but his manner did not strike me as Enkidukai. |
Sharven: He is a thief by trade, as I assume you are aware, and he doesn't live here in the temple area. |
Sharven: The only thing I noticed was that he was very fond of daggers and small blades. |
Sharven: My eyes have not beheld him for many weeks, but you might seek out and ask a trainer in such arts; maybe he has inquired about it. |
|
-Sharven thinks a while, then continues speaking.- |
|
Sharven: The good news for you is that I have made two of those pendants, I can give the other to you for a small sum. |
Sharven: Give me 500 trias and it will be yours. |
|
YOU: Here's the payment. |
|
Sharven: Here it is. |
Sharven: I gave one to the cloaked heathen. |
Sharven: It might convince his trainer that you work together. |
Sharven: Otherwise, I doubt his trainer would reveal much. |
Sharven: Bandits lack many morals, but usually don't squeal on each other. |

Lori Tryllyn |
|
YOU: I have something for you. |
|
Lori: Where did you get that? |
Lori: I have never seen you before, yet only Onyx Dagger's rogues carry such a pendant. |
Lori: Are you new to their service? |
|
YOU: Yes, joined before the last eclipse. |
|
Lori: Ah, must be the replacement for the guy who got thrown out of the group a little while ago. |
Lori: Seems he stole something without informing the boss…and then tried to hide the booty instead of sharing. |
Lori: Not a smart move. |
Lori: I think my training is the only reason he's still alive. |
Lori: I saw the rogue the other day in fact. |
Lori: Here is your pendant back. |
Lori: I wonder if he is still there… |
Lori: I might be able to tell you the location…for a fee. |
|
-Lori hands you the pendant- |
|
Lori: Give me a few moments to myself to consider and then come back perhaps I can be persuaded to tell you his whereabouts later. |
|
YOU: Do you have that location for me yet? |
|
Lori: Did the Onyx Dagger decide that simply throwing him out wasn't punishment enough and send you after him? |
Lori: Well, I don't rat on people without a good reason. |
Lori: Information like that is just as good of a currency in the shadows as hexas, or in your case I'd say two. |
|
-Lori shows her empty hand.- |
|
YOU: Here's the money. |
|
Lori: Well to be honest, I don't actually know where he is right now. |
Lori: We called him Smear, but I doubt that was his real name. |
Lori: He's pretty hard to miss though, even under that cloak of his. |
Lori: We always trained at night, but even then I could see the fluid way he moved, like a blur of shadows. |
Lori: The only other thing I remembered is that he never seemed to have any knowledge of current events, like he spent most of his time living in a hole or something. |
Lori: Maybe check under the temple, I know he cannot be far. |
Lori: You can probably just ask him about smear. |

Zak |
|
YOU: So you must be Smear? |
|
Zak: Are you a fool to approach me so brashly? |
Zak: What do you want? |
|
YOU: I want Jirosh's statue back. |
|
Zak: You must be weary of life to accuse me of anything without proof. |
Zak: If you have proof show it to me. |
|
YOU: Here's the proof. |
|
Zak: Ah, like it does to many, it seems that drink is to be my downfall tonight. |
Zak: Yes, it was I who took that statue. |
Zak: Legend stated that it brought great luck to he who held it, but the blasted thing has brought me nothing but ill will. |
|
-Zak growls.- |
|
Zak: See me now…I've been thrown out of my group and can't even manage to sell the thing. |
Zak: No one wants it whole and I don't dare take it to a smith to be melted down. |
Zak: My lot has fallen so much that I might even consider just giving it to you and be rid of it. |
Zak: But the worst of my luck is that I lost my pendant. |
Zak: Without it I don't dare to work and that blasted priest won't sell me another. |
|
YOU: I have this. |
|
Zak: What's this? |
Zak: One of the Onyx Dagger's pendants? |
Zak: Here, give it to me! |
Zak: Salvation, fate will smile upon me again! |
Zak: You can have the cursed statue! |
