NPC 115:
Penni, Combat Trainer in Yew[+bye +job +name]
The woman you see in front of you has a concerned expression on her face, as if her thoughts were far away.
"Hail, <AvatarName>. Might I assist thee?" asks Penni.
[+Addom]
name{
"My name is Penni, <AvatarName>."
}[-name +Addom]
job{
"I have no occupation, <AvatarName>. At least not one I would call work. I do, however, teach skills in close quarter combat.
She thinks for a moment. "I suppose a better way to answer thy question would have been to say `Yes, I do have a job.' I'm a trainer. But," she smiles, "I enjoy it too much to call it work."
}[+train +enjoy +Bradman]
enjoy{
"I have loved close-quarter fighting since I was old enough to grasp my first spear. That's why I moved to Yew."
}[-enjoy +Yew +spear]
spear{
"It is my choice in arms. The spear combines the best of both range and power. It is the perfect hunting weapon."
}[-spear]
Yew{
"I moved here to hunt, of course. The forest is full of game. I would not think of living anywhere else!"
}[-Yew]
train{
"Art thou interested in training? My price is 35 gold for each training session."
yes{}else{
"Perhaps next time."
}
"I am sorry, <AvatarName>, but I am not training at this moment. Perhaps if thou wert to return between 9 in the morning and 6 in the evening, I will be able to help thee."
}
Bradman{
"Yes," she nods her head, grinning, "I know Bradman. We go hunting together. Of course, he rarely catches anything with that toothpick shooter of his."
<Iolo> "I resent that, my friend. Bows and crossbows can be wielded with deadly effect."
She smiles, nodding to Iolo. "Perhaps thou art correct, friend archer, but I prefer more physical challenges."
"Although I consider him a true friend and an honorable companion, I wonder about his physical prowess."
}[-Bradman]
Addom{
"Addom is mine husband. But how did...?" She appears confused, but suddenly directs her gaze at you. "Hast thou seen him?"
yes{
"Is he in good health?"
yes{
"Thank goodness!" she sighs in relief.
}else{
"I knew he should not have left this time! I hate it when he leaves!" She chokes back her tears. END
}
}else{
"I do hate it so when he travels so far away for such a long time. I can only hope he returns to mine arms quickly!" She peers off in the distance, as if searching for Addom.
}
}[-Addom]
bye{
"Good journeying, <AvatarName>." END
