Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Cassard: Mord Souq... Not just full of Mord, but Humes and all manner of others, too! It has long been a refuge for folk displaced by the Flood, so the population is nothing if not diverse.  
Cassard: Oh, have you met a Mord before? They might look like shifty little blighters, but a more welcoming lot you could never wish to meet!  
Cassard: Speaking of which, we should pay our respects to Master Ghen Gen. I'll go ahead and let him know we've arrived.

(Optional)
Cassard: Go on! Introduce yourself to Master Ghen Gen! 

Speaking with Ghen Gen (Cutscene)

< What will you say? >
< So this is a Mord...? >
< That's a kobold! > 
< What beady eyes... > 

(All)
Cassard: Master Ghen Gen, this is the friend of the Exarch I was telling you about. 

Ghen Gen: Very good, very good! Though friend or no, all are welcome in Mord Souq.

Cassard: "Souq“ is Mordish for ”city.“ As things stand, this souq boasts the largest and busiest marketplace in all Amh Araeng.  
Cassard: You'll find ore from the mines here, of course, but all manner of other things too─many of them rare. 
Cassard: As I told you before, not many visit Amh Araeng by choice, but Mord Souq's a different story. Merchants come from malms around to purchase the relics the Mord dig up. 

Ghen Gen: Aye, that they do, for Mord do not dismiss the spoils of the earth. We clean them and polish them and reveal to the world their true value!  
Ghen Gen: That is why they come here! Come from far away! Come with much money! 
Ghen Gen: And so our souq is always busy, busy, busy! No such thing as a thing no one needs! 

Cassard: You say that every time, Master Ghen Gen! Some sort of family motto, wasn't it? 
Cassard: Or perhaps a Mord philosophy─for which we should all be very grateful. Would that everyone was so willing to take in refugees regardless of race or creed.  
Cassard: Now, then─if you intend to spend any time here, you'll want to gain the trust of the locals.  
Cassard: And there's a little custom all newcomers are expected to observe... 

Ghen Gen: The cracking of the coinpurse! You buy one thing from the market. Price can be low or high, just as long as you buy!

Cassard: ...As the good Mord says. In fact, the Exarch sent a little something to cover this very expense. 
Cassard: A Voeburt gold piece, no less! The first I've held in years. 

Mord Merchant: Voeburt gold!? Real Voeburt gold!? 

Hospitable Hawker: Here, newcomer! Crack your coinpurse with me! 

Peddler of Pots: No, no, you want my goods, newcomer! I have jars and pots, all smooth and shiny! 

Ghen Gen: Enough of that! Calm, I say!  
Ghen Gen: This one must still journey through the barrens. Nothing bulky! Nothing heavy! No pots!  
Ghen Gen: Nothing better for the road than a full belly. Spend that piece at Rhon Ron's place, yes? Eat for three before you leave! 

Optional

Cassard: A full Voeburtite honor seems a bit rich for buying a dented pan or a bowl of worms. Did the Exarch lose to you at cards or something!?

Ghen Gen: Rhon Ron's shop is best for eating! Crack your coinpurse and gorge on the delicious delicacies!

Speaking with Rhon Ron, and browsing the available wares

Rhon Ron: Welcome to Rhon Ron's, traveler! I have wares to empty your purse and fill your belly!  
Rhon Ron: Take your time! Stare and sniff before you choose! But no drooling on the merchandise, yes?

System: Browse Rhon Ron's wares. You may move the camera as well as zoom in and out. Target a foodstuff and inspect it with (left mouse)/(RT)/(A)

Browsing

(Optional) (Rhon Ron)
Rhon Ron: Hm? Silly customer, you cannot eat Rhon Ron. Not even for a Voeburt gold piece! 

Rhon Ron: I call that “Mushloaf”! The middle is stuffed with bittersweet cactus fruits, so even if the bread dries out, it's still moist inside. Keeps you going in the heat! 

Rhon Ron: That's my “Everburning Bounty,” made with the best parts of the lizard. Cured with special spicy spices! Some find the smell...challenging, but it'll warm you up on chilly desert nights! 

Rhon Ron: Everyone's favorite! Plump white worms slathered in honey. Once you eat a “Glazed Wriggler,” you'll never want any other treat! 

Rhon Ron: Oh, you'll like those! “Chewy Skewers”! Find small frogs hiding under rocks, spear with stick, then roast over fire. Crackly on the outside, gooey on the inside─perfect for snacking!

Cutscene

Rhon Ron: They all look tasty, yes? Which to choose, which to choose!

< Which to choose? >
< Mushloaf. >
< Everburning Bounty. >
< Chewy Skewer. >
< Glazed Wriggler. > 

< Mushloaf. > 
Rhon Ron: Ah, very wise! You won't wither on the sands with a gut full of cactus fruit filling! 
Rhon Ron: You have the gold...? 
Rhon Ron: ...And done! One Voeburtite honor buys you forty loaves of bread!

< Everburning Bounty. > 
Rhon Ron: Yes, put some spice in your step! You won't feel the cold this night...and probably not the next one either! 
Rhon Ron: You have the gold...? 
Rhon Ron: ...And done! One Voeburtite honor buys you ten sides of lizard meat!

< Chewy Skewer. > 
Rhon Ron: Mmm, chewy! A quick, easy meal to carry you across the desert! 
Rhon Ron: You have the gold...? 
Rhon Ron: ...And done! One Voeburtite honor buys you sixty-five skewers! 

< Glazed Wriggler. >
Rhon Ron: Too good to resist, eh? (That's what I would've chosen!) 
Rhon Ron: You have the gold...? 
Rhon Ron: ...And done! One Voeburtite honor buys you fifteen jars! 

(All)
< Will you eat the lot? >
< Every last mouthful! >
< I think I'll...sh—share...the rest... >

< Every last mouthful! > 
Rhon Ron: What an appetite! What a belly! A new legend is born in Mord Souq!

< I think I'll...sh-share...the rest... > 
Rhon Ron: Our visitor invites us to feast! Let us give thanks for [her/his] great generosity—and small appetite! 

(Both)
Rhon Ron: Consider your coinpurse cracked! I am pleased to accept your custom, and Ghen Gen will be pleased that you honored ours! 
Rhon Ron: ...Keeping the merchandise down, yes? No returns! 

Optional

Rhon Ron: I am honored to have been chosen! Go to Ghen Gen! Let him know that your coinpurse has been most decidedly cracked.

Cassard: I've never seen anyone eat so much of Rhon Ron's “cuisine” in one sitting... You've a stronger stomach than I!

Speaking with Ghen Gen

Ghen Gen: I was watching from here, [Forename]! You honored our custom, and with great relish! 
Ghen Gen: You will always be welcome in Mord Souq─if you need anything in Amh Araeng, we are here to provide!
