I'm disappointed, Kirstie. I paid in advance, and you refuse
to deliver?
I paid you in advance, now you're saying you can't do the job?
What am I supposed to tell the viscount?
|
Kirstie
|
Look, nowhere on the contract does it say-
|
Schulivan
|
The contract is clear! All Gold Gnoll Leather is to be
sold exclusively to Schulivan's of Rocheste.
The contract is effective for two years. We both signed it.
It's law, under the eye of the Merchant Association.
And yet I haven't obtained a single piece of Gold Gnoll
Leather from you this entire time!
|
Kirstie
|
Yes, the contract says "When and if any Gold Gnoll
Leather has been acquired."
When and IF. And I haven't acquired any...
|
Schulivan
|
No excuses, girl. I promised the viscount Gold Gnoll
Leather and I will deliver! You have one month!
|
Kirstie
|
Wh-what?! That's ridiculous. How am I supposed to--
|
Schulivan
|
Do whatever it takes. I'll be back in a month. One month!
|
Kirstie
|
Schulivan, that's ridiculous. Wait, where are you--
|
|
(The merchant ignores Kirstie and leaves the shop, slamming the
door behind him.)
|
Kirstie
|
Ugh, now what?
...Hm? Who might you be?
You don't look like an adventurer, though...
Are you a mercenary?
Ah, I knew it!
You're the one who saved the town yesterday!
I'm Kirstie. I'm a hunter, but I pose as a merchant
until the Fomors are defeated. Welcome to my shop.
I also trade in leather. If you find any
rare leathers, make sure to bring them to me.
(Kirstie's shoulders slump.)
I suppose you overheard that conversation earlier.
That was Schulivan. I got into a mess a while back and
thought signing that contract was a good idea, but...
Now, I'm in a bind. You see, a long time ago I took an oath
swearing never to hunt intelligent beings like gnolls.
But he's requested gold gnoll leather, and I'm bound to supply it.
and I'm bound to supply it.
I'm sorry, I'd love to help you, but I
have to get this settled first.

I'll Help
Kirstie
|
Really? You'll get it for me?
Ha, you already look like you're in a hurry.
Relax, rookie. You don't want to go off half-cocked.
Do you even know where to get Pristine Gold Gnoll Leather?
I thought so.
Let me tell you about a part of the Perilous Ruins...
They will not prove to be easy opponents, but I promise
I will reward you well.
Now, hand that necklace over, would you?

You received information on Battle: Gold Leather.
|
Kirstie
|
I'll be fine... once you bring me tha [sic] Pristine Gold Gnoll Leather.
|
Kirstie
|
Hey, come on in.
Is that Pristine Gold Gnoll Leather?
You really got it?
|
Give
Kirstie
|
Thanks. This is a huge load off of my shoulders
Now, let's have a [sic] that necklace.
Strange...This is a traditional gnoll necklace.
However, it's been marked with a Fomorian emblem.
Long ago, the gnolls worked closely with the Fomors,
but they came to blows and split from their ranks
The gnolls today are peaceful, dignified creatures.
They've cause us little concern.
So why would they be using the mark of the Fomors
Something troubling is happening in the shadows of the ruins an we must fin out what it is.
|
Thanks!
Kirstie
|
What, you're leaving?
Wait, let me pay you for the Pristine Gold Gnoll Leather
I don't really have much to spare...
Would you be interested in a Fire Spirit Remnant?
You can use it to forge weapons
Here, take this too. It'll surely be of use someday.
Come visit me again sometime.
