NPC 228:
Lucky, Trainer in Buccaneer’s Den[+bye +job +name]
You see a man whose sinewy body is like steel. The glint in his eye tells you that he is no fool.
"What dost thou want with Lucky?" the pirate asks.
name{
"I am Lucky... in all things."
}[-name]
job{
"I make my living off the world! It gives... and I take!" The pirate laughs boisterously. "I am a worldly gentleman, friends -- that is my 'job'! Oh, and I train initiates for a bit of pocket change."
}[+train +world]
world{
"The ways of the world, is what I mean. I am a man of the road; I am a seasoned traveller. I travel through the world as a hundred different men."
}[+different +traveller -world]
traveller{
"In truth there are few places where I have not been and little that I have not done."
}[-traveller]
different{
"Thou canst be a different person just by assumption. 'Tis an attitude. I am an expert in the art of charismatic communication for the purposes of deception. It gives one many skills. For example, I can walk into any shop and make a purchase. But I will walk away with much more than I bought, for I know how to fool the shopkeeper. Little things like that."
}[-different]
train{
"I charge 35 gold for a training session. Doth this meet with thine approval?"

Lucky shrugs. "Thou wilt not find another trainer on the island!"

"I shall be happy to show thee my ways of the world during normal business hours at my residence -- afternoons and evenings."
}[-train]

"Be careful, my friend." END
