Dialogue
Accepting the Quest
Cassard: Mord Souq... Not just full of Mord, but Humes and all manner of others, too! It has long been a refuge for folk displaced by the Flood, so the population is nothing if not diverse. Cassard: Oh, have you met a Mord before? They might look like shifty little blighters, but a more welcoming lot you could never wish to meet! Cassard: Speaking of which, we should pay our respects to Master Ghen Gen. I'll go ahead and let him know we've arrived.
(Optional) Cassard: Go on! Introduce yourself to Master Ghen Gen!
Speaking with Ghen Gen (Cutscene)
< What will you say? > < So this is a Mord...? > < That's a kobold! > < What beady eyes... >
(All) Cassard: Master Ghen Gen, this is the friend of the Exarch I was telling you about.
Ghen Gen: Very good, very good! Though friend or no, all are welcome in Mord Souq.
Cassard: "Souq“ is Mordish for ”city.“ As things stand, this souq boasts the largest and busiest marketplace in all Amh Araeng. Cassard: You'll find ore from the mines here, of course, but all manner of other things too─many of them rare. Cassard: As I told you before, not many visit Amh Araeng by choice, but Mord Souq's a different story. Merchants come from malms around to purchase the relics the Mord dig up.
Ghen Gen: Aye, that they do, for Mord do not dismiss the spoils of the earth. We clean them and polish them and reveal to the world their true value! Ghen Gen: That is why they come here! Come from far away! Come with much money! Ghen Gen: And so our souq is always busy, busy, busy! No such thing as a thing no one needs!
Cassard: You say that every time, Master Ghen Gen! Some sort of family motto, wasn't it? Cassard: Or perhaps a Mord philosophy─for which we should all be very grateful. Would that everyone was so willing to take in refugees regardless of race or creed. Cassard: Now, then─if you intend to spend any time here, you'll want to gain the trust of the locals. Cassard: And there's a little custom all newcomers are expected to observe...
Ghen Gen: The cracking of the coinpurse! You buy one thing from the market. Price can be low or high, just as long as you buy!
Cassard: ...As the good Mord says. In fact, the Exarch sent a little something to cover this very expense. Cassard: A Voeburt gold piece, no less! The first I've held in years. Mord Merchant: Voeburt gold!? Real Voeburt gold!?
Hospitable Hawker: Here, newcomer! Crack your coinpurse with me!
Peddler of Pots: No, no, you want my goods, newcomer! I have jars and pots, all smooth and shiny!
Ghen Gen: Enough of that! Calm, I say! Ghen Gen: This one must still journey through the barrens. Nothing bulky! Nothing heavy! No pots! Ghen Gen: Nothing better for the road than a full belly. Spend that piece at Rhon Ron's place, yes? Eat for three before you leave!
Optional
Cassard: A full Voeburtite honor seems a bit rich for buying a dented pan or a bowl of worms. Did the Exarch lose to you at cards or something!?
Ghen Gen: Rhon Ron's shop is best for eating! Crack your coinpurse and gorge on the delicious delicacies!
Speaking with Rhon Ron, and browsing the available wares
Rhon Ron: Welcome to Rhon Ron's, traveler! I have wares to empty your purse and fill your belly! Rhon Ron: Take your time! Stare and sniff before you choose! But no drooling on the merchandise, yes?
System: Browse Rhon Ron's wares. You may move the camera as well as zoom in and out. Target a foodstuff and inspect it with (left mouse)/(RT)/(A)
Browsing
(Optional) (Rhon Ron) Rhon Ron: Hm? Silly customer, you cannot eat Rhon Ron. Not even for a Voeburt gold piece!
Rhon Ron: I call that “Mushloaf”! The middle is stuffed with bittersweet cactus fruits, so even if the bread dries out, it's still moist inside. Keeps you going in the heat!
Rhon Ron: That's my “Everburning Bounty,” made with the best parts of the lizard. Cured with special spicy spices! Some find the smell...challenging, but it'll warm you up on chilly desert nights!
Rhon Ron: Everyone's favorite! Plump white worms slathered in honey. Once you eat a “Glazed Wriggler,” you'll never want any other treat!
Rhon Ron: Oh, you'll like those! “Chewy Skewers”! Find small frogs hiding under rocks, spear with stick, then roast over fire. Crackly on the outside, gooey on the inside─perfect for snacking!
Cutscene
Rhon Ron: They all look tasty, yes? Which to choose, which to choose!
< Which to choose? > < Mushloaf. > < Everburning Bounty. > < Chewy Skewer. > < Glazed Wriggler. >
< Mushloaf. > Rhon Ron: Ah, very wise! You won't wither on the sands with a gut full of cactus fruit filling! Rhon Ron: You have the gold...? Rhon Ron: ...And done! One Voeburtite honor buys you forty loaves of bread!
< Everburning Bounty. > Rhon Ron: Yes, put some spice in your step! You won't feel the cold this night...and probably not the next one either! Rhon Ron: You have the gold...? Rhon Ron: ...And done! One Voeburtite honor buys you ten sides of lizard meat!
< Chewy Skewer. > Rhon Ron: Mmm, chewy! A quick, easy meal to carry you across the desert! Rhon Ron: You have the gold...? Rhon Ron: ...And done! One Voeburtite honor buys you sixty-five skewers!
< Glazed Wriggler. > Rhon Ron: Too good to resist, eh? (That's what I would've chosen!) Rhon Ron: You have the gold...? Rhon Ron: ...And done! One Voeburtite honor buys you fifteen jars!
(All) < Will you eat the lot? > < Every last mouthful! > < I think I'll...sh—share...the rest... >
< Every last mouthful! > Rhon Ron: What an appetite! What a belly! A new legend is born in Mord Souq!
< I think I'll...sh-share...the rest... > Rhon Ron: Our visitor invites us to feast! Let us give thanks for [her/his] great generosity—and small appetite!
(Both) Rhon Ron: Consider your coinpurse cracked! I am pleased to accept your custom, and Ghen Gen will be pleased that you honored ours! Rhon Ron: ...Keeping the merchandise down, yes? No returns!
Optional
Rhon Ron: I am honored to have been chosen! Go to Ghen Gen! Let him know that your coinpurse has been most decidedly cracked.
Cassard: I've never seen anyone eat so much of Rhon Ron's “cuisine” in one sitting... You've a stronger stomach than I!
Speaking with Ghen Gen
Ghen Gen: I was watching from here, [Forename]! You honored our custom, and with great relish! Ghen Gen: You will always be welcome in Mord Souq─if you need anything in Amh Araeng, we are here to provide!
