Oh, it’s you, is it? Do come in!
What do you want?
Is there anything of interest in Riva we should know about?
It’s not exactly in Riva, but in the swamps outside there’s a tower, where a magician has set up shop. Not that I’ve anything against magicians - I’ve been friends with one for years - but the guy in that tower gives me the creeps: he’s butchering innocent pets for some weird experiments of his.
Do you think the Holberkians could be behind the orc uprising?
No, I can’t really believe that, the Holberkians are so quiet and unassuming…
Do you know the rat-catcher?
No, I’ve never had reason to see him.
Do you believe there are monsters in the sewers?
A former friend of mine, a magician, used to go down there every so often, but he never mentioned anything out of the ordinary.
Darian used to go down there, but he never mentioned anything of the sort.
What do you know about the guild and the tradesmaster?
Well, the tradesmaster was charged with a crime he probably didn’t commit. Even so, he escaped and went underground. There, he gathered together the city’s outcasts and formed the guild. Ui Chearghail is considered something of a hero in town since then, because the guild only attacks the authorities.
Do you know a guy named Tarik?
Not personally. But there’s a lot of talk about him - mostly negative.
Can you tell us something about the judge?
On the one hand, he takes care of law and order in town. On the other, he often misuses his power, and when he does, he doesn’t seem to know any limits. It’s frightening!
Have a nice day now, you hear!
I have something to take care of. Why don’t you come back some other time!
