Ivyn

Collect manure from the cow fields

Ivyn said, "Quite a haul we got! Here's your share, thanks for the help!"

Have a beer and discuss how stupid the council is

Ivyn said "And that's not even the worst part! The worst part is that we no longer have any representation! It's practically a dictatorship! Ah, but listen to me. If those wizards were really dictators, I suppose I'd have been smote down for my complaints by now, eh?"

Help till the fields

Ivyn said, "It's pretty rare to find someone around town who's willing to work that hard! I'm impressed! Take these fresh vegetables as payment."

Talk about the Sampo legend over dinner

Ivyn said, "Right! Salt, gold, or flour. It can make any of those, on demand! Kind of redundant, I guess, since gold can buy salt or flour. But maybe the ratios are different or something? Anyway, take some of this home with you, I can't eat it all!"

Explore nearby ruined tombs for ancient treasures

Ivyn said, "So... I owe you an apology for my reaction to that deer made of dark energy, or whatever the hell that was. I know my shrieking didn't make the fight any easier. But we got out alive! That's what counts, right?"

Blanche

Explore rudimentary fire magic techniques

Blanche said, "You're good at this! I feel kind of left out. But it was fun watching you cast fireballs! Here, keep this."

Discuss geologic digging techniques

Blanche said, "Right, I think you're on to something there: enchant the pick with Tsavorite somehow, and it'd dig up bigger hauls! Here, I have some spare Tsavorite. Now if we just knew an enchantment formula to use it! But anyway, good talking to you."

Go hunting for redwall crystals

Blanche said, "That was tedious, wasn't it? Well, we got some! That's what counts. Here's your share!"

Talk about how the council needs to send more researchers to Serbule

Blanche said, "And they'd figure the crystal thing out in minutes! Oh, it's just good to finally talk to someone who has some sense in their heads! The council isn't 'pure evil', they're just wizards who're disconnected from the rest of us. They can still do great things for us!"

Search for antique Human artifacts

Blanche said, "Nothing but a mug and a plate. Well, it was fun, even if it didn't net us many artifacts. Here's your share!"

Echur

Meditate with Echur

Echur said, "Now we're ready to face the day! Come back next week and meditate with me again."

Share some cranium powder and have a deep discussion

I took too much cranium powder and forgot to write down what he said,

Explore new mind-altering compounds

Echur said, "That one was too hallucinogenic for me. I prefer ones that focus the mind, not distract it. You keep the rest."

Hike to a remote meditation pillar

Echur said, "The scenery was great, wasn't it? Even if the meditation was kind of a drag. Well, not every meditation session goes as planned, you know? But we just come back to it tomorrow and try it again."

Hike to a remote meditation pillar

Echur said, "That was great! Very relaxing!"

Practice reading each others' minds

Echur said, "Could you read my last thoughts there? That's an open invitation. Your mind is beautiful and I would love to see your body in the same way."

Take Echur up on his intimate invitation

Echur said, "Wow, you'll have to show me how you did that thing with the tongue while sending theta waves into my head at the same time. I'm not going to forget tonight! Take this as a memento."

Mushroom Jack

Hunt for Myconians down in the ravine

Mushroom Jack said, "Nothing! Not even a track! They have to be on to us! Otherwise we'd surely have at least seen footprints. I just don't know how we're going to catch them."

Catch fish in the river

Mushroom Jack said, "Well... we didn't catch many fish, and that's my fault. I'm sorry about the false alarm. I swear I thought she was a myconian. It's okay, though, Rita will forgive us eventually."

Prepare for the inevitable myconian invasion

Mushroom Jack said, "That should do it! Keep this hat on at all times; it's my best one yet! And remember, if anybody says anything suspicious, stab them to see if they bleed."

Experiment with mushroom-based infusion recipes (10h)

Mushroom Jack said, "You remember anything? Nope, me either. I guess that concotion caused memory loss! But look at all this junk you're carrying. I bet we had fun."

Experiment with mushroom-based infusion recipes (8h) - after 10h

Mushroom Jack said, "That was perfect. Things were fuzzy and pleasant but not terrifying, and no vomit or memory loss. Can you read the formula back to me? It was two Blusher mushrooms and what else...

What? No! No, you were supposed to be writing it down, not me! Yes, I know I said I would, but that was subterfuge because someone was reading my mind at the time. You should have seen through that. Gah. Now we have to start over! You moron!"

Hunt under the influence of mushroom-based infusions (8h) - after 10h

Mushroom Jack said, "So that could have gone better. I'm pretty sure those weren't really rhinos we were fighting. I have huge gashes in my abdomen, like tiger cuts. Let's not do that again, okay? Oh, no, you can keep that. I've got a bunch of better ones."

Experiment with mushroom-based infusion recipes (6h) - after 8h

Mushroom Jack said, "You know, I think it actually made us immune to mushrooms. Wait... that's grade-A myconian defense lager, that is! Ha ha ha! We win!"

Therese

Help prepare hard cider (2h)

Therese said, "This is applejack! Nelson Ballard taught me how to make it. He says lots of humans love it. Try it. You like it? Well, it's an 'acquired taste'. But you'll like it if you drink enough!

I need to let this new stuff ferment, so I don't have a lot to share right now. But since you helped me, I'll teach you the recipes I use!"

Elahil

Go bow-hunting for stags

Elahil said, "Did you see that? Right in the eye! I should have been an assassin instead of a fletcher. I guess it's not too late to change careers, huh?"

Help restring old bows

Elahil said, "Thanks! It's a lot easier to restring these with two people working on 'em."

Test various arrowhead designs

Elahil said, "Most of these experimental arrows sucked, but the frog-crotch arrows were pretty good. Let me keep working on the design; I think it could be pretty useful against unarmored foes."

Gisli

Milk the cows

Gisli said, "Thanks. With an extra pair of hands it goes a lot faster! I can groom them while you milk them. Hey, here, take this as thanks."

Help Gisli train a new animal

Gisli said, "Well, that could have been better. Blanche's new pet chicken is just not a smart bird. We can make her friendly to strangers, but Blanche wanted her to do tricks, and I just don't think that's happening. I'll break the news to Blanche -- don't worry about it. Thanks for your help today."

Zealo

Experiment with toxic sludge recipes

Zealo said, "Nothing. But we did get to play with slime. That's sort of a reward in itself."

Help swap out mana sponges

Zealo said, "Thanks! Here, keep a sponge for yourself."

Sie Antry

Help weed the garden

Sie Antry said, "Whew! Hard work always makes me feel better. How about you? Here, take this!"

Scour the perimeter of the homestead for rogue molluscs (5 hours)

Sie Antry said, "Damn those snails! But we ran 'em off. Thanks for your help!"

Talk about how to improve the trade routes

Sie Antry said, "You're right. If we just got the orcs to fuck off for a few months, we could really get things under control. But barring that, I guess it'd take a massive army... or an incredibly powerful magic spell..."

Help clean the house

Sie Antry said, "See? They make these piles of junk everywhere and they never clean up. Fairies are like no-good children, but you can't belt 'em. Frustratin' little fucks. Oh, don't give me that look, I like 'em fine. I'm just venting."

Sir Coth

Spy on the elves in town to see what they're planning

Sir Coth said, "Did you tip them off? No? Well how did they know to shut up about all their sneaking and backstabbing, then? I don't get it. Harumph. Well anyway, keep those potions I gave you. I'm sure an emergency will arise eventually. Just not today."

Help polish Sir Coth's armor

Sir Coth said, "Oh, it's beautiful now. Just lovely. Thank you."

Patrol the town perimeter

Sir Coth said, "Quiet as usual. Well, aside from those tigers that tried to ambush us. Stupid tigers. Thanks for staying up with me!"

Argue about whether elves have souls

Sir Coth said, "Look, I have to rest my case: no animal in nature has two penises. Except some lizards. And snakes. Those don't have souls, either! It's really that simple: two dicks, no soul. No, no, you've said your piece. We'll have to agree to disagree."

Hulon

Discuss the tax code

Hulon said, "Right. Elves should pay 30% of all their earnings if they own a shop in town, but they all scam the Council. I bet I don't get more than 10%. No, it's fine. I guess at the end of the day, I don't really care. But thanks for letting me rant."

Check business receipts

Hulon said, "These are dramatically low. Joeh's cheating the council again! He even admits it, says he doesn't have to pay the whole thing because the city doesn't have full council services. Well, they never will if he never pay his taxes! Why don't elves understand how important this is?

Well, you did well. Here's a fair wage."

Double-check the month's records

Hulon said, "You found two errors! That's impressive. You know, the Council never finds any errors when I send the books in. Are they even overseeing me at all? Sometimes I wonder."

Yetta

Taste-test new alchemical concotions

Yetta said, "Good thing I had that antidote on hand! That could have been bad, huh. Well, win some and lose some, like Sirine always said. Here, drink this, you need to stay hydrated after all that vomiting."

Commiserate about Sirine

Yetta said, "It's just that... she was my soulmate! How will I ever find someone to take her place? I feel like dying every time I think about living another 500 years without her. Sometimes I envy Humans with their tiny little lifespans. But I've talked your ear off long enough. Thanks for being a good listener. I don't feel as suicidal anymore! So you should keep these."

Help clean spider legs for use in potions

Yetta said, "I have no idea why you wanted to help me do this, but thanks! Here, have something to get your energy back."

Experiment with memory-erasing potions (60 minutes)

Yetta said, "Hey! Hey! Come back to Yetta... come back... there you are!

Well, that did something to your brain, but I don't think it hampered your memory. Just cognition! Oh well. Thanks for trying!"

Experiment with memory-erasing potions (3 hours)

Yetta said, "And so I told her that if the tiger goes with her, then bedroom toys should go with me, but she said no, that... hey, are you okay?

Oh gods, I think it worked! You don't remember anything from the last hour, do you? Perfect!

Wait... no, that's not right. It just wiped your short-term memory. Not your long-term! What a waste. Here, keep the formula."

Experiment with memory-erasing potions (4 hours)

Yetta said, "And then Sirine said ... and you won't believe this... she said it was my fault because I didn't let her know about my hobby before we were married! But I didn't even know myself! Crazy, right? And then... hey.

Hey, it kicked in! Did it work? Oh, crap. Okay... okay, listen to me: you're going to be okay. But you probably won't remember much of what happens in the next few hours. Just take it easy, okay? Um, just walk it off. Yeah, walk it off! Oh gods please be okay..."

Experiment with memory-erasing potions (8 hours)

Yetta said, "I should at least get visitation rights! He was my tiger first, even if he refused to be near me after the chemical fire. I could have ... hey! Hey, you forgot everything again, didn't you?

Azalak

Sit quietly and ambush small game

Azalak said, "Ttk. You were too noisy. Next time, be more quiet. Food only tastes good if you catch it unaware."

Sit quietly and ambush small game again (4h)

Azalak said, "We ambushed much food. You are learning! You may ambush-hunt with me any time."

Sit quietly and ambush small game yet again (4h)

Azalak said, "Again, the hunting was good. So many of your kind are afraid of simply sitting in perfect silence. It is hard to take them seriously."

Velkort

Help develop superior fire techniques

Velkort said, "Well, we can't always make new discoveries. That was a total waste. But there, take a flask of my masterpiece formula, as a thank-you for your efforts."

Collect fire dust from the forest

Velkort said, "A truly tedious task, I know. But your moderately tolerable company made it less annoying."

Practice throwing and dodging fireballs

Velkort said, "Hah! You're quite agile for a neophyte. I hope your eyebrows grow back quickly."

Practice basic magic drills

Velkort said, "No, no, no the index finger goes up and down rhythmically while the middle finger goes side to side. This is not complicated! And the pinky rotates simultaneously... right.

Well, at least you understand the theory. Now just practice twenty thousand fireballs and you'll get the hang of it. Here. Velkort takes off his gloves. You'll need these more than I do. They'll smooth over any small errors in your prestidigation."

Play with Velkort's sentient flame

Velkort said, "No, I don't really know what he eats. He's not undead, and he's not really an Elemental. The reason I kept him around was because he was so mysterious... now, though, I keep him around because he's so cute. Aren't you, little guy? Yes you are! Ahem."

Tadion

Help fix up cow pasture outside of town

Tadion said, "Nothing like a long hard day of work to build up a thirst, huh? Here. Drink!"

Let Tadion model a new helmet design around your head (failure)

Tadion said, "Stand still. Stand still! It's not that hot, is it? Oh... oh dear.

Look, I'm sorry I burned you. I was sure the metal was cool enough! I guess I just have really thick skin. But you'll heal! Don't worry!"

Let Tadion model a new helmet design around your head (success)

Tadion said, "I made sure it's not too hot this time! Yep, it fits. And hey, you keep this, and let's call it even?"

Help Tadion make some new horseshoes

Tadion said, "Well, I can't say as these are good horseshoes you've made here. But thanks for your help. I'll use these for decorations or something."

Kleave

Discuss martial stresses

Kleave said, "No, no, it's not so bad. I use the age-old Rakshasa formula. Here, I'll teach you. Without this, I doubt there'd be many married Rakshasa couples alive!"

Help clean skins

Kleave said, "Did you enjoy that as much as I? No? Weird. Well... here, then. Take these."

Compare skinning knives

Kleave said, "You skin like a child, but I pity you. Let me show you the correct way to perforate the... stop, not like that! Oh, this will take forever."

Joeh

Decorate for a leather party

Joeh said, "Hmm... adequate. Yes, this will do. We won't be looking at the scenery much anyway! Here, you keep the leftover decorations."

Help refurbish some used swords

Joeh said, "That tedium went by quicker than expected, eh?"

Go hunt for pigs together

Joeh said, "Little oinky bastards never knew what hit 'em! Here's your share!"

Talk about how stupid humans are

Joeh said, "Ha ha, you know it! But that's enough slandering for a day. Back to work!"

Spar with padded swords

Joeh said, "Quite a workout! Next time, I should show you my other sparring technique. It doesn't use swords. It uses... other pointy things. But until then, thank you."

Marna

Take inventory of shop wares

Marna said, "I'm so glad you helped me with this! I've been putting it off for months. So boring. But you really made the time fly by. Here, I want you to have these. We've got extras, so it's no big loss."

Check Marna's spider traps

Marna said, "Only 32 legs! Well, it sounds impressive when I say it that way. But what I mean is: only 4 spiders! But thanks for the company. Have a spider's worth."

Fill out first aid kits

Marna said, "Whew! What a boring job! You really made the time fly, though. I thank you."

Fainor

Watch potatoes bake

Fainor said, "See? Wasn't that fun? Take these with you so you can have fun on your own later!"

Taste-test new vegetarian recipes

Fainor said, "So you like lentils in the salad but hate lentil soup. Got it."

Help butcher pigs to make steaks

Fainor said, "Ugh, I hate this work. If all those mad wizards out there really wanted to be useful, they'd invent a pig that came pre-butchered. But hey, thanks for your help."

Help clean up the inn

Fainor said, "You do good work. Thanks. Here, dinner's on the house."

Cut deer carcasses for venison

Fainor said, "Gods they stink inside! I'll take rotten fish any day over the smell of deer guts. You did good, though. Thanks."

Flia

Scour the woods looking for wounded animals to put down

Flia said, "Well, we put one doe out of her misery, but that sickly wolf got away. Still, not that bad a job. Here, keep the deer parts, I don't want them."

Set up traps to cull excess rabbits from the forest

Flia said, "Thanks for your help, that would have really hurt to do on my own. The traps are all made of cold iron, and they burn my flesh if I touch them! But since you set them for me, I guess I won't need these bandages. Maybe you can use them."

Discuss the politics of the fey courts

Flia said, "Are all dark fey 'evil'? No! That's so racist!

Look, most dark fey just don't think the way you do, because they live forever in a dimension of pure hatred and pain. So it's hard to relate to you. But that doesn't make them evil!

I mean, compare them to mages who became undead so they could live forever. Would you call THEM evil?

What, really? I just don't get you."

Frolic in the woods and bury gold for mortals to find

Flia said, "You frolic like a mortal! Flia giggles. Hilarious! That made my day!

Oh, we ran out of time to bury gold for mortals to find. Here, take it, maybe you can bury it when you're bored."

Hunt for light fey in the woods and nearby hills

Flia said, "Nothing! I think I killed them all already, but you never know when one of those little milksops will come back! Thanks for helping me patrol. You can keep that collar in case you find one."
