A supplier named Sprockfuddle invited me to learn more about the trade business by speaking with a cohort of his at the local pub. Trade can take on many forms from basic goods to information. I'm intrigued by the idea of trading information to receive something of value. This could be the start of a lifelong business relationship.
Stage 1
Supplier Sprockfuddle told me to speak with a trader at Fish's Alehouse and Inn.
Start: | Sprockfuddle's contact is upstairs in Fish’s Alehouse and Inn. |
---|
Complete: | I've met Sprockfuddle's friend. |
---|
I've met Vernon Tinworthy and received an assignment from him.Stage 2
Vernon Tinworthy asked me to trade information I gather from the locals to him before he'll give me something of value in return. I'm going to talk with some of the locals around Qeynos to see what they know about a shelter being built for the city.
Start: | Vernon suggested I start in Fish's Alehouse and Inn. If I listen to some of the patrons, I should be able to guess which one will give me more information when asked. |
---|
Complete: | I've learned a little bit of information from Mary Dillon. |
---|
Start: | Thierry Dillon in South Qeynos may have more information about what's going on. Apparently he worked on this project himself. |
---|
Complete: | I've learned a little bit of information from Thierry Dillon. |
---|
Start: | Thierry's co-worker, Ellinnea Umalia, knows quite a bit about the Qeynosian project. She is also living in South Qeynos, so she should be easy to locate. |
---|
Complete: | I've learned a little bit of information from Ellinnea Umalia. |
---|
Start: | Towser Flizgibbert from the Elddar Grove lost the design competition to Ellinnea Umalia. He'll probably be willing to dish some dirt on this shielding device. |
---|
Complete: | I've learned a little bit of information from Towser Flizgibbert. |
---|
Start: | Arbuthnot Jumroller in the Baubbleshire is Flizgibbert's friend. He might reveal information he'd learned from Flizgibbert about the magical shield. |
---|
Complete: | I've learned a little bit of information from Arbuthnot Jumroller. |
---|
I've learned quite a bit from the locals, but I know there's more information to be gained.Stage 3
As Vernon said, whatever else one might say about Freeportians, they've proven honest. Unlike these Qeynosians who can't seem to tell the truth. The truth serum Arbuthnot Jumroller mentioned might prove useful.
Start: | There's an alchemist named Jo Ironshield in North Qeynos who has invented a potion that forces people to tell the truth. |
---|
Complete: | I've obtained the truth potion from Jo Ironshield. |
---|
I've obtained the truth potion.Stage 4
There is a Magus in North Qeynos that several folks have mentioned. Getting the truth will be much easier, with the help of this potion.
Start: | I'll need to locate Magus Weskah somewhere in North Qeynos and use the truth potion to find out what's going on. |
---|
Complete: | I've gotten the information I need from Magus Weskah. |
---|
I've gotten the truth from the Magus.Stage 5
I've learned quite a bit about what's going on in Qeynos. Now to trade my information for something from Vernon Tinworthy at Fish's Alehouse and Inn.
Start: | This information should prove my worth as a "trader." |
---|
Complete: | I told Vernon Tinworthy about the Qeynosian shield. |
---|
I've spoken with Vernon Tinworthy. By carefully questioning and encouraging the truth from some of the Qeynosian inhabitants, I've learned that Queen Antonia is wasting tax payer funds on a magical shield to protect Qeynos from invasions. Protecting the citizens is noble, but she's driven up prices all over town while misleading her people as to the true nature of the "threat."
