Before you is a shrewd-looking craftsman, obviously filled with the contentment of a peaceful life.
"What may I do for thee?" says Russell.
name{
"I am Russell, a shipwright."
}[-name]
job{
"I build ships in New Magincia. It is a profession I enjoy very much. I also sell deeds for my ships, and sextants by which one can navigate the open seas."
}[+sextants +deeds +New Magincia]
deeds{
"But I have already sold thee the deed to 'The Nymphet'! I am afraid that was the only ship I had at this time."
"Thou wishest to purchase my ship 'The Nymphet'? The deed will cost thee 600 gold."
yes{
"'The Nymphet' is thine, <AvatarName>. Enjoy the waters."
"Thou art carrying too much to take thy deed. Come back after putting some things down."
"Mine apologies, <AvatarName>, thou dost not have enough gold."
}else{
"I understand, <AvatarName>, the seas aren't for everyone."
}
"When my shop is again open I shall be more than happy to help thee."
}[-deeds]
sextants{
"Thou wishest to purchase one of my fine sextants? 'Twill cost thee 40 gold."
yes{
"'Tis thine, <AvatarName>. Enjoy the waters."
"I would gladly give thee thy sextant but thou shalt have to put something down! Thou art carrying too much to take it."
"Mine apologies, <AvatarName>, thou dost not have enough gold."
}else{
"I understand, <AvatarName>, some of us can navigate with just the naked stars!"
}
"At present my shop is closed. If thou wilt come back during business hours I shall be more than happy to help thee."
}[-sextants]
New Magincia{
"Things have been very peaceful in New Magincia. There has been little trouble from outsiders lately."
}[+outsiders -New Magincia]
outsiders{
"Before thine arrival there had not been a stranger in New Magincia for years, save for the survivors of the shipwreck."
}[+shipwreck -outsiders]
shipwreck{
"I found the wreckage. Three men were clinging to it for their lives."
}[+three men +wreckage -shipwreck]
wreckage{
"I had never seen a ship like it before. The markings show it was constructed by a Minoc shipwright named Owen. It was not very well constructed."
}[-wreckage +strangers]
three men{
"They were from Buccaneer's Den. Most people that come here come because they are lost on their way to or from Buccaneer's Den."
}[+Buccaneer's Den -three men +strangers]
Buccaneer's Den{
"The three men wish to go back. They say there is a house of games in Buccaneer's Den." Russell shrugs. "As if that would be a reason to go there.
"I offered to sell them a ship, but they had no money. They actually seemed offended when I would not give it to them for free!"
}[-Buccaneer's Den]
locket{
"The three strangers tried to offer me some kind of trinket to build or sell them a ship. It sounds like the locket thou art describing."
}[+trinket -locket]
trinket{
"I would not have accepted their offer, but I was curious. Later they said nothing when I wanted to see the trinket again. I doubt they have it."
}[-trinket]
medallion{
"I could not help noticing your medallion. It does look somewhat sinister. I cannot recall ever having seen one like it before."
}[-medallion]
Crown Jewel{
"The Crown Jewel just left here a short while ago. I do not know where it was headed."
"I have heard nothing more of the Crown Jewel since we last spoke of it."
}[-Crown Jewel]
Hook{
"Just as the Crown Jewel left I saw a man with a hook jump on board. There was a gargoyle accompanying him."
"I have heard nothing more of this man Hook since we last spoke of him."
}[-Hook]
bye{
"Fare thee well, <AvatarName>." END
