>>6120434“Welcome, friends–Name’s Obber! Here ta’ pick up or place an’ order?” A quiet laugh escapes out the side of Obber’s mouth. “‘Fraid tastings are done for the day… at least until closing time, that is!”
“Ooh…”
We’re here to deliver this, you explain, passing Obber the <span class="mu-b">INNKEEPER’S METAL</span> as Volka drools at your side, it’s from the guy that owns the <span class="mu-b">FAR THROW INN?</span>
“Ah, <span class="mu-b">INNGO!</span>” Obber nods, eyes wide in recognition, “He certainly is early this month… what happened–did he finally get some customers? Hah!”
“The opposite, actually!” Replies TT with a grin! “Place got burned down by assassins, but Anton here scared ‘em off! Wanna hear a song about it?”
“Nope!” Smiles Obber as he turns back towards you! “So he wants a <span class="mu-i">FULL</span> shipment, ey? Hmm…” Glancing back at what can only be rows upon rows of product, the warehouse warden drums an unseen finger on the counter. “Ordinarily I’d be able to help him out, but…”
You lean in closer. Buuut?
“This stuff in the back’s all spoken for!” Explains Obber with an apologetic shrug! “I have some kegs on backup, but my scheckt guy usually doesn’t deliver until later in the month!”
What’s a scheckt? Is he a scheckt?
“You’re a funny guy, y’know that?” He chortles! “I’m a Gnok, same as you! Weird-smellin’ plumage ya’ got though, brother… anyways, scheckt’s the stuff that seals the kegs and the current coating is running a little dry, so…”
It only takes you and your pals about a minute or so after Obber’s voice trails off that you realize he wants you to do something for him. Oh, you nod, yea, you can talk to the guy for him! No prob!
“Say, that’s swell!” The Gnok nods with renewed kindness in his eyes! “You’ll find him at the end of Dock 33–they do all the mashing onsite-just follow the smell.”
“Leave it to us, sir!” Volka exclaims, giving him a salute! “Oh yea–what’s this scheckt-seller’s name anyways?”
“Obber!” Replies Obber! “And I know what you’re thinking–it’s a bit of a common name around here, is all. Dock 33’s pretty small though, you’ll find him! Anything else I can getcha before you go?”
>Nope! Back in a bit!>Any problems around the docks lately?>Where does he get his Ruuppaa from?>Any chance we can sample some merch?>You’re helping him out a lot–any chance he can sweeten the deal?>Tell me–err, tell my friends about us Gnoks!>Write-In!
