He hands you a plate.
"They are indeed the best fish and chips in all of Britannia."
"Thou art carrying too many things to take thy fish and chips from me!"

wagon{
"I just painted my wagon recently. It receives more attention. Business is much better now. I am saving my money to travel to Buccaneer's Den."
}[-wagon +Buccaneer's Den +business]
business{
"Ever since I became a member of The Fellowship, business has been increasing steadily. I have refined and improved the recipe for my fish batter and it has since become a favorite meal of nearly everyone in Britain. I have even served my fish and chips to Lord British himself."

Lord British{
"Thou dost know-- the bloke who wears a crown and acts like a king."
}[-Lord British]

"Then I shall see thee at nine o'clock sharp!"

Buccaneer's Den{
"I wish to win some money at Buccaneer's Den. It is a pirate resort and they have a fabulous House of Games there."
}[+House of Games +pirate resort -Buccaneer's Den]
pirate resort{
"As I am certain thou knowest, Buccaneer's Den was once a den of thieves and villains. As such, it held a romantic appeal for those who longed for a taste of such an adventurous existence. I confess, I am one of those people. When thou dost spend thy life selling fish from a wagon, thou art in need of excitement. The pirates eventually realized just how much they are secretly envied, and so they have turned their island into a place of thrilling amusements."
}[-pirate resort]
House of Games{
"It is said they have several games of chance there! Gold can be won wagering on the outcome of a race of fine stallions."
}[-House of Games]
Fellowship{
"I saw thee receive thy medallion. I can certainly say the Fellowship has done wonders for my life and I know it will be the same for thee as well." He gives thee a knowing grin.
