Excellent. Here you go.

My offer still stands if you change your mind.

Excellent. Here you go.

Have you come to buy my wares?

Have you come to buy my wares?

I have a few goods left over from Fort Windmoth. If Neldam is interested, I'll sell them for 50 drakes.

He doesn't have any of what I'm looking for? Oh well, that's no problem. Thanks anyway, %PCName.

I do enjoy books of poetry or fictional stories. If Neldam has any of the kind, I would like to go and have a look at his inventory.

These items weren't exactly what I was looking for; I was hoping for a more powerful soul gem, but... perhaps Neldam has something better. Go tell him that I'll visit his shop. You've been a great help, %PCName. It is very generous of you to help Neldam in a time of need.

What is all of this you are trying to show me? I thought Neldam might know what kinds of things a sorcerer is interested in, but I was wrong. Tell Neldam that I am not interested in whatever junk he has to offer.

Oh my, what is all of this, %PCName? I thought what you had shown me previously was all of Neldam's sample, but these clothes are simply marvelous! You've changed my mind, %PCName. I'll stop by Neldam's shop soon.

Oh, these clothes are exquisite! Neldam's inventory must be very impressive if clothes such as these are just samples. Tell Neldam I can't wait to visit his shop!

A ring and a common soul gem? I don't find that very promising, %PCName. A sorcerer, especially one such as myself, requires more potent wares to practice magic. No, I don't think I'll be visiting Neldam's shop anytime soon.

Well, I am interested in clothing and soul gems, and I would be happy to peruse his goods if he has any of the kind.

I am trying to enjoy my vacation here without people like you bothering me. Get lost!

I didn't come here for what a trader might have to offer. I like booze, and the Twisted Root has plenty of it.

I'll probably still be here if you change your mind.

Great. Here is the clothing.

Great. Here is the clothing.

Are you interested in buying my stock of clothes?

Are you interested in buying my stock of clothes?

As a matter of fact, I might be willing to sell the last of my stock of clothing to Neldam. The demand here for clothiers is short right now, and I plan to learn a different trade. I have an expensive belt, a pair of expensive pants, and two pairs of common shoes, all his for 50 gold pieces.

We have plenty of customers here at the Twisted Root... wait, what? I'm sorry, I can't visit Neldam right now, I have to manage the tavern.

I already have everything I need. My books, my magical studies, and my solitude, most of all.

I'm in too much of a hurry to do some trading of my own in Alt Bosara, I'm afraid. Sorry.

I see. Here, take this soul gem and ring, as well as 50 drakes. You can use the gold to buy one of the traders' goods, then show those goods to Fedaves, but don't worry about buying their goods if you can persuade Fedaves without them. Make sure you show her the ring and the soul gem first. She might be interested in those.

Make sure you speak with everybody in town. See what interests they have, if any.

Oh, well that's too bad. If you change your mind, %PCName, come talk to me again.

Great! Remember to ask everyone. I am known in Verulas Pass as a trader, at the very least. They should know who you're talking about.

This is what I'm thinking -- I need someone to ask everyone in Verulas Pass to come visit my shop. I can't do it myself because I must remain here in case anyone happens to come by and peruse my wares. Anyway, if people can be persuaded to visit my shop, they will see the exquisite condition of my goods, and my business should hopefully improve. Are you up for it?

Well, I guess you already know all the details, don't you? Did you change your mind?

Yes, it's quite unbelievable! So many travelers come by here, and they all go to the Twisted Root! If they would only step inside my shop, they would quickly see that my wares are of the finest condition. After all, it is about quality, not quantity, and I doubt the Twisted Root has either of the two. I, however, have come up with a plan to solve this madness.
