Dialogue

All I want to do is study their runestones, but this tribe is using them as currency! I would gladly trade with them, but they're terrible at it.

What can I do to help?

Help me trade for jotun runestones. They'll trade the stones for anything they think is valuable. Food, supplies, building materials, and so on.

Any tips?

It seems they mostly want the things that the other jotun have. But they're so poor at negotiating that they won't trade directly with each other anymore.

So...?

You could act as a middle man. Buy supplies from one, and see if you can get more from another.

Good idea

Ah, I see.

Why do you want these runestones?

There are many ancient jotun texts that we can't decipher because their race has forgotten how to read their own language. The inscriptions on these runestones show a lot of promise.'

I see. That makes sense.

I'll do that.

These jotuns are ... friendly?

They're desperate. The tribe is having trouble with these winter storms. They've taken to trading with merchants visiting Twinspur Haven to survive.

I see.

I've got some runestones here.

Are you sure you want to give them all to me right now? You can use them to make more trades.

Yes, just take them all, please.

Take ten.

Take five.

Thank you very much. This will help me quite a bit.

Sure, no problem.

On second thought, I'll hold onto them for a bit.

Good-bye.

This dialogue branch is only available once players have collected a good amount of runestones.

Oh my, you have so many runestones. Many more than I could have imagined. This will surely be enough for me.

Please, take them.

Thank you very much. This will help me quite a bit.

Sure, no problem.

I'm going to hang onto them.

You were a big help. Here, have a look at some of the things that I've gained from trading with the jotun.

Let's see what you have.

Maybe later.

Knowledge is power.

I do most of my research at the pub.

Knowledge is the greatest treasure.
