Clint, Shipwright of Britain[+bye +job +name +Crown Jewel]
Before you stands an old sailing man whose determined face appears to have weathered many a storm.
"And what be thy business with me this time, Avatar?" says Clint.
name{
"I be Clint."
}[-name]
job{
"In my youth I was a sailor who sailed across the sea in tall ships. Now I must content myself solely with selling ships and sextants to others."
}[+buy +sailor]
sailor{
"Of course this was in the day when it took mighty men to be a sailor. Nowadays those who set out to sea would not have lasted a day. But I suppose it is the nature of the universe that everything slowly becomes more tame."
}[-sailor +tame]
tame{
"Soon all the monsters will die off and the whole world will join together in trust and worthiness and unity like all those Fellowship people say. Bah! The world was a better place when everybody fought everybody else, I say."
}[-tame +Fellowship]
Fellowship{
"No offense intended, of course. I did not realize that thou art a member." Clint reacts as if he has just touched a leper.
[-Fellowship]
"It is always the best thing to make thine own way in the world and not listen to what thou art told to believe. Thou hast better remember that!"
}[-Fellowship]
buy{
"If thou art in need of a ship I hold the deed to a fine one. Thou wilt also need a sextant to help steer her true."
[+buy sextant +buy ship deed]
"My business is now closed. Return another time and I will be happy to serve thee, Avatar."
}[-buy]
buy ship deed{
"I do believe I sold thee the deed to 'The Beast'! What happened to it? Hast thou lost the ship? If so, then thou must find another shipwright!"
"The deed to the ship 'The Beast' costs eight hundred gold pieces. Dost thou wish to purchase her?"
yes{
"Here is thy deed, Avatar."
"I would give thee thy deed but thou art carrying too much to take it from me!"
"Thou dost not have enough gold to buy a ship!"
}else{
"If thou dost need a ship be sure to come back here."
}
}[-buy ship deed]
buy sextant{
"A sextant costs one hundred gold pieces. Does thou wish to buy one?"
yes{
"Here is thy sextant. She shall steer thee true, to be sure."
"I would give thee thy sextant, but thou art carrying too much to take it from me."
"Thou dost not have enough money to buy a sextant!"
}else{
"If thou shouldst ever need a sextant be sure to come back."
}
}[-buy sextant]
Crown Jewel{
"The Crown Jewel came to Britain? Not anytime recently. Most certainly not. I remember the Crown Jewel and it has not been to Britain for a long time."
"As I have told thee before, the Crown Jewel has not been here in a long time."
[-Crown Jewel]
}[-Crown Jewel]
bye{
"May thy travels do well." END
