Yes, what is it?
Is there anything special to be seen around here?
There’s the old watchtower at the harbor. People say it’s haunted.
Do you think the Holberkians have a hand in the orc uprising?
No-one in town really knows just what the Holberkians get up to. They’re always out there with the orcs. They say they’re just trading with them, but who knows if they aren’t out there making plans with the blackpelts?
Do you know the rat-catcher, perhaps?
No, and how could I, he’s down in the sewers all day. What would I want down there?
Do you think there are strange creatures down below?
Well, there are a lot of strange things happening in this town, and strange creatures have been seen prowling the streets at night. They must be hiding somewhere in the daytime!
What do you know about the guild and the tradesmaster?
That cowardly lot is hiding in the sewers. They only dare come out at night.
Do you know some guy named Tarik?
Yes! He sticks his big nose into everybody’s affairs, and he’s quite unpopular because of it. If you have more questions, and the cash to pay for the answers, his’d be just the right address for you lot!
So what do you think of the judge?
Now, the judge… I wouldn’t want to say, I mean, I haven’t even met the man!
Go with the Twelve.
I’m afraid I’ve run out of time. Why don’t you go ask someone else. Bye!
The woman throws a quick glance at the guild wristband, then she pulls up the sleeve of her blouse long enough for you to see the white band she’s wearing.
Come in! Tell me, how I can help!
Is there anything special going on in Riva?
The old watchtower at the harbor is safe ground for now. We’re spreading rumors of it being haunted, that keeps most people away. And we can deal with the few nosy parkers who do turn up there.
Do you think the Holberkians might be behind the orc uprising?
No-one in this town really knows what the Holberkians get up to. But it’s certain they couldn’t order the blackpelts around.
Do you know the rat-catcher?
Yes, the guy’s okay! He mostly takes care of business and doesn’t bother us.
What’s your opinion of Bosper Jarnug?
He’s been behaving very strangely for the last two years. He gets involved in everything, has total innocents arrested, and proclaims extremely harsh sentences.
Well, there isn’t much happening in Riva at the moment! I know a lot about you, but I guess you know best what you’ve been up to lately.
