Mother
Mother says, "Well hello, dear! Have you been having fun out in the world?"

> Say, "I need rest. May I spend the night at home?" (Cost: free)

Mother says, "Why, of course, dear! How could I possibly turn you away from the house you grew up in?"

You rest for the night, and wake up refreshed

Inn
Pongoras
Pongoras says, "The monsters that have been roaming the countryside won't come too close to towns, but there's a cave to the north of here that has all sorts of fiends inside. I wouldn't go there, if I were you. At any rate, if you're going to be out adventuring, I'd recommend staying right near town until you've gained some experience."

> Say, "What can you tell me about the cave?"

Pongoras says, "The cave? I think it used to be a mine of some kind, but it's been abandoned since before I was born. I don't think anyone has been in there in years, but with all the monsters infesting it now, I can't imagine that anyone would want to go there!"

> Say, "What else is near the village?"

Pongoras says, "Well, there's the mountains to the north, and the coastline all around... if you head northeast and then south, you'll get to the city of White River. You can't trust city folk, though. Be careful if you go there."

> Trade

Pongoras says, "Well, I once learned to make a couple of simple magic potions from a wandering wizard. If you want, I can sell you a basic healing vial or a dangerous Flare potion. Careful with the Flare potions -- they're quite explosive! I'll just charge you what it costs me to make the potions; anything more wouldn't be fair, since I've known you your whole life."

Potion
Marvis



Marvis says, "It's too bad that your father isn't still with us to see you going off to adventure. He would have been so proud of you."

> Say, "What else do you know about my father?"

Marvis says, "Well, he had kind of a mysterious past. He didn't talk about it much. I think he used to be a soldier or warrior, before he met your mother and settled down to have a family. That's where he supposedly got that sword he left you, anyway. Although if he really had been a soldier, don't you think he'd have kept his armour, too?"

Nil
Jimba



Jimba says, "Aahh! Oh, sorry, it's just you. I've been a bit on edge lately, with all these nasty creatures roaming around. Why, just the other night, I had to fend off a ravening lupe that tried to eat some of my flock!"

> Say, "How is your flock doing?"

Jimba says, "My poor babaas haven't been getting any sleep, what with all the howling that goes on at night. Those crazy lupes out in the wilderness sure are making things difficult, with all that racket."

Town of White River
Name Image Conversation Attribute
Jeltharo
Jeltharo says, "Welcome to White River. Normally I would extend every courtesy and hospitality to you that our humble town could afford, but ever since the problem with the bridge, the whole town's been in an uproar."

> Say, "What problem?"

Jeltharo says, "Well, everything was fine, until one day a few weeks ago. The town was going about its business as usual, when suddenly there was a crack of thunder -- from a cloudless sky, no less! -- and a wizard appeared out of thin air. He claimed that he would 'rule all these lands,' and then cast a spell at the bridge. The bridge magically lifted itself up, and despite all our efforts, we've been unable to force it back down. Now nobody can cross the river!"

> Say, "Who was the wizard?"

Jeltharo says, "The wizard was an elephante, dressed in robes, and with a mad gleam in his eyes. He frightened the wits out of me, I must say. After he cast that spell upon the bridge, he cackled maniacally and then disappeared into thin air. I've no idea where to find him, though, or how to make him reverse the spell."

> Say, "What can you tell me about this town?"

Jeltharo says, "White River was founded ages ago, before recorded time. It was built at the narrowest point along the White River itself, to make passage to the Northern Marches easier. Naturally, a town grew up here. Most of the citizens are either minor wizards or merchants, dealing in trade with other cities in Meridell."

> Say, "What problem?"

Jeltharo says, "Well, everything was fine, until one day a few weeks ago. The town was going about its business as usual, when suddenly there was a crack of thunder -- from a cloudless sky, no less! -- and a wizard appeared out of thin air.

Now nobody can cross the river!"

Inn
Horxas 
Horxas says, "Welcome to my tavern! Although it's not much of a tavern these days, what with the bridge and all... We can't even get any ale. So there's not really anything to drink. But if you want a room for the night, it'll be 35 gold pieces."

> Say, "What can you tell me about this town?"

Horxas says, "White River's a peaceful town. The bit with the wizard showing up was more excitement than we've seen in all my lifetime! Normally, we just have a few wizards who quietly practice their magics, and the tradesmen who pass through frequently. They ship all manner of goods through here, although business has dried up a bit, now that the bridge is unusable."

> Say, "I'd like to rent a room for the night." (Cost: 35 gp)

Potion
Bolar 

Bolar says, "I haven't had a drop to drink in weeks... ever since that dang wizard showed up. Horxas keeps saying he'll get some ale soon, but I don't know..."

Nil
Yauvis 


Yauvis opens his eyes and yawns. "Eh? What do you want? You woke me up! I'm trying to catch some shuteye here! Why don't you go do something more useful, like kill that wizard who froze the bridge?" Yauvis turns over on the bed and goes back to sleep.

Nil
Tebor 


Tebor says, "We haven't been able to get much in the way of supplies ever since the bridge got locked open, but we're not out of everything. I have a few healing potions, some dangerous Flare and Blast potions, and even some weapons and armour. Take a look, and tell me what you want."

Nil
Gorgan


Gorgan says, "Say, you wouldn't happen to know anyone who needs to buy five hundred pounds of omelette, would you?"

> Say, "No thanks, I don't need any omelette."

Gorgan says, "Oh well. I guess it'll all just rot away then. I had it imported from across the eastern sea, and was expecting to take it across the river, so I could sell it all around Meridell... but with the bridge stuck the way it is, I don't know how I'll ever make my money back!"

> Say, "What can you tell me about White River?"

Gorgan says, "I spend a fair amount of time here; my trading business takes me all over Meridell. White River's just a small town, really, not much to see or do. Some of the wizards who live here make for interesting conversation, if you enjoy that sort of thing."

Nil
Adelan



Adelan says, "Dear me! The bridge is stuck in the raised position, and is unusable. Curse that wizard for doing this to our town!"

> Say, "What can you tell me about the wizard?"

Adelan says, "His name is Zombom. I've known him for years; he was actually a student of mine some time back. You see, I'm a wizard myself. But I hadn't seen him in several months, when he appeared and cast that spell on our bridge. I don't know where he learned such powerful magics; I can't even figure out how to break the spell. I fear that only his demise will cause the spell's effect to end."

> Say, "Where can I find the wizard?"

Adelan says, "It's only a rumor, but I've heard that he's taken up residence in an old, ruined tower on an island in the sea northeast of here. The only way to get there -- unless you can swim like a fish, or fly like a bird! -- is an underwater cave that runs under the mountains and comes up again on the island. I'm not sure exactly where it is, though. I think it lies where the forest meets the mountains, to the north."
