I don't mean to brag, but I think I'm a natural at the merchant gig.
I'm good with people and I'm good with sales, but my real strength is procurement.
I guarantee my customers that I can get them anything they need. And I do.
It's not terribly hard, since customers at these outpost locations are pretty consistent with what they order.
There's only so much a soldier needs, you know? They just need lots of them.
So my biggest challenge isn't the items, it's the quantity. I buy in bulk whenever I'm at the fortress, then either carry them back, or have them delivered here.
There's a catch, though.
My bags keep ripping from the weight of all the supplies. Things with pointy bits or sharp edges are particularly troublesome.
Anyway, I've decided that I need to create a bigger, better bag. Do you want to give me a hand?
Troll skin. I think that's the answer. It's a bit coarse, but it's tough as nails.
If you could help me acquire [%dic:STR_DIC_I_QUEST_3544A], I can start crafting them. Double-stitching, I think...maybe triple, with a Mookie needle.
The best quality leather comes from the [%dic:STR_DIC_M_TrollRE_36_An]s in the Gray Fog Marshes.
You're too busy?
Darn. Hunting is not on my skills list. And those trolls are not going to hunt themselves. This will require some thought.
Hmmm.... Maybe Terentius would get it for me.
Hey, you're back. And just in time. The strap on this bag just tore off.
I really need those new bags.
Did you bring the Thick Troll Leather?
I'm a bit pressed for time...any chance you could bring me sufficient leather today?
There's a zillion Trolls in the Gray Fog Marshes. You should be able to get your hands on enough [%dic:STR_DIC_I_QUEST_3544A] in no time.
I'll be waiting for your return.
Yes, it is rough. I'm sure my knuckles will be bloody before I get those bags made.
But just look at how sturdy the stuff is.
I better get right to work. I need at least two bags for tomorrow's fortress run.
Obtain [%dic:STR_DIC_I_QUEST_3544A] and bring it to [%dic:STR_DIC_N_Roina].
[%collectitem]Roina wants to make sturdy bags for her business. Hunt Troll Looters to obtain Thick Troll Leather for her.
General Goods Merchant Roina needs sturdy bags to carry supplies.
She asked you to procure some Thick Troll Leather for her to make the bags with. You did, and she was very pleased.
