Thomas the Tanner: *Looks at you with a greeting in his eyes* Greetings, how can ‘ol Thomas help you?

You: I was wondering if you had any work.

Thomas the Tanner: *Squints at you* Well, I just might have something you can do. You ever killed a troll before?

You: No, I haven’t.

Thomas the Tanner: Would you like to? It ain’t that hard, and the pay is good.

Thomas the Tanner: I’m willing to pay you 400 gold for the hides o’ nine o’ them trolls.

You: That sounds like something that I could do. Where are these trolls?

Thomas the Tanner: *Smiles at you* Great! You can find the trolls in a cave by the coast, somewhere around Candle Keep.

You: Alright, I’ll be back with those hides.

Thomas the Tanner: See you soon.

Thomas the Tanner: *Looks at you with a greeting in his eyes* Greetings, how can ‘ol Thomas help you?

1. I noticed you scraping pelts in your frame there. So Candle Keep makes it’s own parchment?

2. I am looking to offer my services in exchange for coin. Would you have any need of a courier perhaps, or is there some other service I can provide?

3. I think I have wasted enough of my time here, good day.
