: Betra, Terfin’s Gargoyle Provisioner[+bye +job +name]
The gargoyle welcomes you by making a sweeping motion with his open hand.
"To welcome you again, human," says Betra.
[+Quaeven]
name{
"To be named Betra. To be new to Terfin?"
yes{
"To tell you to talk to Teregus, the sage or Forbrak, the tavernkeeper, for information about town. To help with building locations and residents."
}else{
"To welcome you back to Terfin."
}[-name +Betra +Terfin +Quaeven]
Betra{
"To be the word for `small valor.'"
}[-Betra]
job{
"To be the seller of provisions."
}[+buy]
Terfin{
"To be the town set aside for us gargoyles who wish to reside in our own culture."
}[-Terfin +culture +set aside]
culture{
"To have many things unique to our race -- other than our appearance -- that distinguish us from humans. To be different, but also equal."
}[-culture]
set aside{
"To have been put here by the humans. To be permitted to leave, and also to reside elsewhere, but to know that many humans do not like us."
}[-set aside +dislike]
dislike{
"To be very ironic. To say that the only town with an equal number of humans and gargoyles is the one where most racial conflicts occur."
He shrugs. "To have been unwise, perhaps, to put so many differences together. To be sad times."
}[-dislike]
buy{
"To sell to you during the hours of 9 in the morning and 6 in the evening. To be sorry, but to sell nothing before or after those hours."
}
Quaeven{
He smiles at the mention of the name.
"To be a likable young gargoyle."
}[+join Fellowship? -Quaeven]
join Fellowship?{
"To join The Fellowship?" He shakes his head. "To be an organization not for me. To be quite happy as I am, devoted to the altars. To believe Quaeven to have been misled by the others in The Fellowship. To not trust them, especially Sarpling."
}[+altars +Sarpling +misled -join Fellowship?]
misled{
"To believe that there is deceit from The Fellowship, and to expect that is not what it appears. To believe promises of happiness made when Quaeven first joined came true from Quaeven, himself, not The Fellowship."
}[-misled]
Sarpling{
"To trust him as far as I could throw him, and to certainly throw him as far as I could."
}[-Sarpling]
altars{
"To have heard the rumors about destroying the altars. To be upset, but to have no evidence.
"To know that only two gargoyles have easy access to such weapons. To be one of those gargoyles, and to know Sarpling is the other."
}[-altars]
bye{
"To wish you safe travels, human." END
