An elderly man opens the door and looks at you in surprise:
Hello? Visitors? Well, come in, and then you can tell me what you’ve come for!
Boron’s blessings. What brings you here this time?
Is there anything special going on here in Riva?
Oh yes, there’s a crime wave sweeping through town. A good thing the judge is on his toes. And not enough with the guild making news, now there’s the pirates acting up as well. Let me tell you, I’ll be up to my ears in work once the guards do their job!
Why,… what work?
Oh, didn’t you know? - I’m the town executioner.
The guild and the pirates! Since the town is basically on its own because of the orc wars, the riff-raff is having a field day.
Do you think the Holberkians are the brains behind the orc uprising?
I can’t really imagine that. Then again, who knows? They are together all the time.
Do you know the rat-catcher?
Of course I do. He’s alright, is Xebbert - I just wonder how he can endure the sewers all the time.
Could you tell us a bit about the rat-catcher?
Well, I don’t know that much about him. You’d be better off asking at city hall. They have an information office there, where you’ll get all the answers you need!
Do you believe there are monsters prowling the sewers?
No! But the guild is prowling them, but one day they’ll come out into the open, and then we’ll catch them!
Do you know anything about the guild or the tradesmaster?
I know I’ll have them for customers one day, that’s for certain!
Do you know Tarik?
I wouldn’t be at all surprised to find him lying beneath my axe tomorrow. That guy’s been a crook from day one.
What’s your opinion of Bosper Jarnug?
The judge is one for drastic measures, no cause for complaints there.
Boron’s blessings!
Well, I’m off duty today, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have anything else to do… Why don’t you come back some other time!
