~~~ the one guard hesitates, but the other guard quickly overrules him and allows you entrance ~ you dismount and are ushered into the foyer ~ and after discussion you are presented at the messengers hall ~
~~~ messenger clerk: "Your luck day, Lamüsqè, a gold-class message for you to deliver to Nubium."
~~~ a gold-class message requires to you to read and memorise the message and destroy it instead of allow it to be read by others ~ then deliver it verbally if you have to ~ you have license to kill for the duration of the task ~ and can be killed if you fail ~ you are paid 1 gold in advance, and 2 more gold if you succeed in delivering it personally to Queen Nioph III of Nubium within 1 day (its normally a 2-day journey)
~~~ if you accept this quest, then you now have a gold-rimmed message in your item list, and you will then also have to recite the message to the messeneger-clerk ~ after reading it, if you however then openly reject the quest you will have to spend 1 week in the dungeon for the sake of secrecy

~2~ or hear the message first,
~3~ agree unconditionally, proceed on quest without hesitation

DIRECT OBSERVE  : The very industrius city of brown elves, as well as a whole variety of little folk, like ice-sprites, faiyere and brownies; as well as countless industrious gnomes of miniature stature.

"What type of shoppe are ye lookee for?", says a flying rat the size of a seagull hovering in front of you ~ wearing a monacle, and a gold-braided uniform ~ its spinning its tail furiously mid-flight ~~~

The Turquartz Conspiracy, Chapter 1 Empty City of Nubium (Brown Elveses)

Wed May 27, 2020 1:33 am
Your visit to the alchemist results in you signing an apprenticeship.
You owe him 2 Mithril pieces, and in exchange you get an alchemist kit.
14 Sungold
9  Starsilver
40 Palladium
These give you alchemical potions or dusts which take 1 hour to prepare
using the Palladium, but can be conjured in 1 round if you can get some Lunarium.
Sungold + Sungold = random effect
Starsilver + Starsilver = speed
Sungold + Starsilver = cure blind, deaf and dumb.
Starsilver + Sungold = blindsilver

The Brown-elves at the market in Nubium are curious as to whether
you have raised the 40 gold pieces that you owe them for your armour and shield?
"You still have not paid us for the last lot, and now you want more?"

You go to the Druid and Dryad for an ale and meet up with an  old friend,
Skobajak the Kobold. He tells you about an adventure stealing a hoard
of treasure from a bunch of stuffy gnomes in the east.

~~~ Are you going on this adventure?
~~~ What else do you want to do?
