Playerhi

BerthaGreetings Player. Looking for a {trade}, I hope. Business is not going well.

PlayerSvargrond

BerthaThese barbarians are still adapting to the city life but they do quite well I guess. They still lack interest in real trading and ... let's say they are a bit limited in their horizon.

PlayerThais

BerthaI guess whole Thais is laughing at the failure of our operations.

PlayerCarlin

BerthaCarlin expects wonders of me. However, as long as they don't send some considerable help, they can wait until moss is growing in their hair.

PlayerEdron

BerthaThey promised me these frozen lands could become for Carlin what Edron is for Thais. What a cruel joke.

PlayerVenore

BerthaVenore's power and greed is a constant threat to our operations.

Playerenemy

BerthaOur major enemy are the trade barons of Venore of course. They never gained foothold here though. Given how bad business is progressing in this settlement, it is not such a big surprise. They probably simply lost interest.

Playerdwarf

BerthaSadly I could not win many dwarfs for our mining operations. They are probably afraid of Thais's reaction if it becomes known that they are helping us.

Playerelf

BerthaThe elves are of no great help. They do little to convince the spiritual leaders of the barbarians to help me.

Playerbook

BerthaMy inventory of general goods and paperware is large, ask me for a {trade} to take a look.

Playermagic

BerthaAsk a sorcerer or druid about that.

Playeryeti

BerthaAnother senseless tale of superstitious natives.

Playercult

BerthaWell, we heard of some strangers that travelled through this city. Not exchanging many words with the people here. The locals claim they headed straight to our old mines ...

BerthaAs far as I can tell though not much has changed at the mines. Our scouts are still attacked or even killed. So I assume the strangers were either killed or they are friends of the raiders ...

BerthaI have no clue what has happened and I don't have the resources to find out.

Playerchakoya

BerthaI think these chakoyas are only a tale to scare the local kids.

Playermonsters

BerthaThere are enough monsters around to make you think twice about leaving the city.

Playerbonelords

BerthaBonelords are one of the few threats of which we are spared here.

Playerbarbarian

BerthaAll this cold seems to have frozen the brains of those people to solid ice.

Playerbarbarian test or join

BerthaIf you pass some disgusting barbarian test, you might become what they call an honourary barbarian. Just talk to jarl Sven the Younger about this nonsense and don't bother me.

Playerweapon

BerthaRobert sells that. Go and ask him about that.

PlayerRobert

BerthaYou can buy general goods from me. For weapons and armor you rather see my assistant Robert at the arena in the mountains to the west.

Playerequipment

BerthaMy inventory of general goods and paperware is large, ask me for a {trade} to take a look.

Playerjarl

BerthaThe jarl here is of no great help. Our equipment and wood is welcome but we get little profit out of these deals.

Playerraiders

BerthaTheir presence is bad enough. The fact that they occupied the mines and that they hate us non-natives of this frozen rock makes things only worse.

Playermines

BerthaThe mines are actually Carlin's property. If only the queen were sending soldiers, to get them back from this rabble. Venore is probably planning to take over these mines just as we are talking.

Playerqueen

BerthaThe queen expects miracles of us. But there is little we can do as long as the barbarians claim these mines that actually belong to us.

Playershaman

BerthaThat's how the local druids call themselves.

PlayerChyll

BerthaThat seems to be a god that the locals worship.

PlayerNibelor

BerthaNibelor is an isle on which the local druids dwell.

Playeryears of serpents

BerthaWhat a horrible threat those beasts have been. But if they hadn't vanished all of a sudden, we would never have stranded here.

Playername

BerthaI'm Bertha from Carlin.

Playerjob

BerthaI'm a trader by profession but here you could also call me the ambassador of Carlin. However, there is little I can do about our problems, and support from Carlin is virtually non-existent.

Playermission or task

BerthaUnless you can change the whole situation here, I don't have anything to do for you.

Playerking

BerthaThe pompous king of Thais might be involved in the take-over of our mines.

Playergods

BerthaThe gods seem to be far away in this corner of the world.

PlayerUman

BerthaWe don't have many mages here that would serve Uman. Sorcerers are quite smart people, you know?

PlayerZathroth

BerthaI think even the dark one does not care for these lands or is probably already done with it.

PlayerBanor

BerthaI'd like to see some knightly order cleansing this land in the name of Banor. But of course Banor's champions seek their glory in warmer areas.

Playercamps

BerthaThere are several camps of the raiders somewhere in the South-West. If you want to end up as dog food, just travel there.

Playermagic

BerthaAsk a sorcerer or druid about that.

Playerdruids

BerthaThe druids of Carlin have quite good connections to the local druids here.

Playerleader

BerthaThis city would need a new leader that wants to actively help our cause, but I don't see this happening any time soon.

PlayerFerumbras

BerthaWell, HE would only be needed to make things worse over here.

Playerrumour

BerthaI have confirmed information that Excalibug lies deep in the mines. If you manage to find it, you would be the biggest hero and everybody would know your name! ...

BerthaImagine that: King Player, who found Excalibug and saved the world !!! Sounds good, huh??

PlayerExcalibug

BerthaI toyed with the idea to spread the rumour that Excalibug might be hidden in the mines. I think if enough adventurers were lured into the mines, they might drive out the ones that occupy them now ...

BerthaSo do me a favour, when somebody asks about Excalibug, tell them it's down there in those mines.

Playernews

BerthaNews? Are you mocking me? Almost any news would be good news. As long as it concerns Carlin's affairs, nothing seems to change for the better.

Playeroffer

BerthaMy inventory of general goods and paperware is large, ask me for a {trade} to take a look.

Playerhow are you?

BerthaIt could definitely be better but thanks for asking. I hope you're fine yourself.

Playerbye

BerthaBye Player.
