There are several elf servants, all finely dressed. If you try to speak with them:
Roleplay your introduction below, but on a scale of 1-5 (1 being very hostile, 5 being extremely flattering), how cordial are you (choose one)?
“So persistent. I don’t care who you are. My time is precious. But I am nothing if not a businessman. For 3 silver, I’ll give you either information, a magical blessing, or one of the spectator tickets to tonight’s Merchant Council meeting. But only one.” He seems to enjoy making a game out of it. “It’s time you learned a lesson in economics.”
If you pay, choose one:
Read only if you are a high elf
Read only if you are dwarf, dark elf, or wood elf
Read if you are any other race
Afterwards, regardless of race, the servants finally explain that both merchant Lhaewan and Galadhon were temporarily called away, and only Ruinor is presently here. If you’re determined enough, they will admit you into his tent, if you wish. Fine tapestries, furniture, and plants line the inside. Ruinor is wearing decorative gold chains and looks up from a desk.Read only if you have spent time in SylVanDar as an ambassador
“I don’t have time for this. Who are you?” He looks over your clothes and finds them lacking, regardless of any finery. “A dirty face. No chains of sale? Show me your council merchant’s writ?” At your confusion, he sneers at a servant. “Explain to me why you have let vermin into my tent?”Roleplay your introduction below, but on a scale of 1-5 (1 being very hostile, 5 being extremely flattering), how cordial are you (choose one)?
