It is the large building east of the tanner. SAY The museum is a bit south of the customs house, and holds exquisite pieces of art and weaponry. SAY South of the tavern is the city's museum. 'Tis an educational experience for the children, I think. ENDDO ELSE DORAND 3 SAY I think its that big building east of the tanner's. SAY The museum? 'Tis way far south. SAY I been to the museum once. Walked all that way to the southeast, and saw nothing but weapons that don't help nobody, and pictures of dead folk.

SAY I've heard rumors that thieves meet in the tanner's basement. ENDDO ELSE DORAND 3 SAY My cousin says that thieves meet in a basement somewhere south. SAY I see people sneakin' in shadows far south ... but I don't see where they go. SAY I'd guess that if the thieves have a guild hall, it would be hidden underground. ENDDO ENDIF ON=*town hall* ON=*city hall* IF ( || ) DORAND 3 SAY I hope thou hast had no trouble in Vesper, friend. The town hall is a southern island, one door south of the warriors' guild. SAY I cannot guarantee that they can help thee there, but the town hall is one bridge away from the southern inn. SAY Look thou to the southern side of Vesper... where the Soldiers' Guild is ... for the town hall. ENDDO ELSE DORAND 3 SAY 'Tis on a southern island. SAY The town hall is south of the warriors' guild. SAY Look thou to the southern side of Vesper for the town hall. ENDDO ENDIF ON=*alchemist* DORAND 3 SAY Indeed, we have an alchemist ... a very busy one, at that! Thou'lt find the shop to the very north of town. SAY If thou'rt looking for potions, the shop thou needest is to the far north of Vesper, on the same island as the Jeweler. SAY Look thou to the northern isle ... where the Bardic Guild is ... for the alchemist's shop. ENDDO ON=*mage* IF ( || ) DORAND 3 SAY There are mages who will sell their talents, true enough. Merely look on the ground floor of their guildhall on the north island. SAY The sorcerers get together in their guild hall on the north island. Those who wish to earn some coin can be found on the ground floor! SAY Magic users aren't allergic to gold, and that's a fact. Look on the ground floor of that hall they've got on the northern island, and thou'lt find a mage who will do as thee bid. ENDDO ELSE DORAND 3 SAY I think I've seen a mage's sign ... somewhere north, perhaps. SAY I don't know much about mages. SAY Don't be silly. I have no truck with mages. If a machine can't do it, I won't do it. ENDDO ENDIF ON=*tailor* IF ( || ) DORAND 3 SAY The tailor is on the eastern shore of the river. Take the bridge from the northern isle and then go south. SAY We've a fine tailor, if a little difficult to get to. Make thy way to the east shore. The tailor and the bank are neighbors. SAY The tailor is neighbor to the Sorcerer's Guild ... if thou dost not mind a watery path! ENDDO ELSE DORAND 3 SAY I make mine own clothes, and only mine own. SAY I might have seen a seamster's sign somewhere, but not on an island. SAY A tailor, thou'rt wanting? Take a look off the eastern shore. ENDDO ENDIF ON=*provisioner* ON=*supplies* IF ( || ) DORAND 6 SAY Thou'lt be wanting supplies, I take it? The provisioner keeps a shop to the north of town, on the shore. SAY Our provisioner makes a brisk trade, with all the importing and exporting this city sees. His shop is just off the northern island where the Jeweler is found. SAY Thou canst buy supplies at the Provisioner's shop, on the shore close by the northern island. SAY Supplies can be had at the provisioner's shop. If thou'rt lucky, they'll be a new shipment in from the docks. SAY The provisioner can sell thee just about anything thou couldst need. Look to the largest island on the south side of Vesper to find the shop. SAY Provisions can be had for a price. Just bring thy coin to the shop on the north side of the largest southern island. ENDDO ELSE DORAND 6 SAY I don't buy my supplies in Vesper. SAY There's one north and one south, but I get confused after that. SAY If I could afford such places, I'd know where they were.

ENDDO ENDIF ON=*bank* IF ( || ) DORAND 3 SAY Our bank is on the northmost island. Look for the jeweler and the painter's studio. SAY Thou'rt wanting a bank? A withdrawal or a deposit, I wonder .... Thou'lt need to head to the northern isle of Vesper. It is somewhat to the north, where the river branches. SAY Thou'rt looking for the bank? Look to the north, where the river first branches. The bank is the largest building on that isle. ENDDO ELSE DORAND 3 SAY I don't trust banks. 'Tis better to bury it, to my mind. SAY If I had enough money to give to the bank, I'd spend it all anyway. SAY Banks are a slickery business. ENDDO ENDIF ON=*sorcer*guild* ON=*magic*guild* ON=*magic*hall* IF ( || ) DORAND 3 SAY There are a fair number of sorcerers here, and that's a fact. They meet in the upper floors of their hall on the north island. SAY The sorcerers get together in their guild hall on the north island. Sometimes, when they use too much power, all the candles on the island will puff out, and it will be hours before they light again! SAY Magic users don't like each other, by and large, but they'll meet in that hall they've got on the northern island, just so they can waggle their eyebrows at each other! ENDDO ELSE DORAND 3 SAY I stay clear of places like that. SAY They got guilds for people like that, as though someone would short change a mage! SAY I think the mages meet up north ... at least that's where the sparks come from. ENDDO ENDIF ON=*jewel* IF ( || ) DORAND 3 SAY The jeweler keeps shop on the northern island, betwixt the miners' and bards' guild halls. SAY Gems can be had from the Jeweler's shop on the northernmost island. SAY If thou hast an eye for things that sparkle, get thee to the Jewelers store, just north of the Bardic Guild. ENDDO ELSE DORAND 3 SAY I've no need for fancy fripperies. SAY Why would I know where to buy jewels? I'm lucky to buy fish!

ENDDO ENDIF ON=*paint* ON=*art* IF ( || ) DORAND 3 SAY If it's art that thou'rt interested in ... there's an artist's place on the northernmost isle. SAY I'll tell thee for free ... there's a fine artist on the northern isle that's none too busy to be useful. SAY The best artist's studio, and by coincidence the only one, is on the northern isle, near the guild houses. ENDDO ELSE DORAND 3 SAY I've seen some art up north. SAY I don't like painting so much as poetry. Paint is so restrictive. SAY There's one who fancies art on canvas. I think his art is hanging somewhere to the north. ENDDO ENDIF ON=*beekeep* IF ( || ) DORAND 3 SAY Thou canst understand why the beekeeper is on a little island all alone! 'Tis a little piece of land in the northernmost part of Vesper, across the bridge from either the painter's studio, or the bakery. SAY The bee hives are kept on a small islet at the northeast. 'Tis north of the butcher and baker, and east of the painter's studio. SAY Fresh honey can be had from the beekeeper's island, east of the northernmost island ... the one with the Sorcerers' Guild, thou knowest. ENDDO ELSE DORAND 3 SAY Ooh ... I steer clear of bees. Honey isn't worth the sting. SAY Bees are raised near the center of the city. Look out for the bees, and try not to look like a flower. SAY Honey isn't so bad if someone else gets it for thee. It's the bees I'm afeared of. ENDDO ENDIF ON=*mine*guild* IF ( || ) DORAND 3 SAY Thou'lt find the Miners' Guildhouse on the northernmost island, just where the river breaks around Vesper. SAY The miners meet in their hall on the northernmost island. The building is on the southern end if that isle. SAY The miners, they don't have a lot to complain about, I don't think. Mining is a good way of fillin' a purse. Still ... they built themselves a meetin' place on the northern island, just so's they can talk. ENDDO ELSE DORAND 3 SAY It's hard for me to keep the guild's straight. SAY Miners' Guild? They must needs get together to keep an eye on each other. SAY Miners get together, but usually in a tavern. ENDDO ENDIF ON=*bard*guild* IF ( || ) DORAND 4 SAY The Bardic Guild is on the northernmost island. SAY Lookin' for the Bards' Guild? 'Tis the southernmost building on the northernmost island of Vesper. SAY Is it bards thou'rt lookin' for? Head to the northern island and follow the music. SAY The Bards' Guild is the first building thou'lt come across, after taking the bridge north from the Tinker's place. ENDDO ELSE DORAND 3 SAY The bards have a guild, is it? That must needs be why the northern island is so noisy. SAY The bards' guild must needs be a sight. Normally they avoid each other, for bards will always talk out of turn. I shall go to the northern island and watch. SAY The Miner's Guild and the Bardic Guild are next door to each other. Would be interesting to see who's the louder .... ENDDO ENDIF ON=*bakery* IF ( || ) DORAND 3 SAY The baker's place is on the island just north of the docks. SAY If thou knows where the beekeeper is, just take the bridge south from there to find the baker's island. SAY Good bread is fit for any man, king or beggar, I say. Our baker keeps shop on one of the eastern islands ... the one just north of the docks. ENDDO ELSE DORAND 3 SAY Bread is good. I get mine on the east side of Vesper. SAY I only know of one baker. 'Tis over near the docks. SAY Yea, bread and fish and other foods are all together, to the east. ENDDO ENDIF ON=*butcher* ON=*meat* IF ( || ) DORAND 3 SAY Thou'rt looking for the butcher, I take it. Get thee to the docks, then take the bridge north from that island. The butcher is the first building thou'lt see. SAY The butcher can be found on that northeast island, clustered with the baker, farmer and fisher's shops. SAY If thou hast found the beekeeper's island, take the southern bridge from there and thou'lt be within sight of the butcher. ENDDO ELSE DORAND 3 SAY They keep the foods shops together, mostly. Over near the eastern shore. SAY The meat market is near the fish place. SAY I don't know exactly where the butcher is. ENDDO ENDIF ON=*produce* ON=*farm* IF ( || ) DORAND 3 SAY The farmer brings his produce in from the fields and sells it from his shop on the island just north of the docks. SAY The produce stall is nearest the baker and fisher ... just south of the beekeeper's island. SAY If thou takest the bridge north of the Seaman's Guild - near to the docks, thou knowest - the farmer's shop is north and east on the small island thou'lt find. ENDDO ELSE DORAND 3 SAY If thou'rt looking for vegetables, thou'd have to find a farmer. SAY Vesper doesn't go much for farms. Our farmer's market to the east of the city is more of a vegetable import store. SAY If I want food, I'll eat meat and bread. All else is rabbit food. ENDDO ENDIF ON=*fish* IF ( || ) DORAND 3 SAY There is naught but fresh fish in Vesper, and 'tis easiest had from the fisherman's shop. Look near the baker and butcher's places. SAY There be no old fish when the fisher's shop is right on the water, I'll warrant. Take the north bridge from the docks, then head east for the best fish in Vesper. SAY The fish shop is on an island in the northeast section of Vesper. All the food shops are. The island is south of the bees and north of the quays. ENDDO ELSE DORAND 3 SAY The fisher is close by the butcher. SAY I wouldn't buy fish in a city surrounded by water. I catch me own. SAY I don't know exactly where the fisher is. I just follow the fish heads floating in the river. ENDDO ENDIF ON=*armour* ON=*armor* IF ( || ) DORAND 3 SAY If thou'rt in need of armour, look on the central westernmost island of Vesper. SAY The armourer is beside the southernmost bardic guild. SAY The best armour can be bought on a small island, one bridge north of the blacksmith, one bridge west of the Tinker. ENDDO ELSE DORAND 3 SAY I have nowt use for armour. SAY I don't know where the armourer is. Try to the west. SAY Methinks I've seen the armourer over yonder. ENDDO ENDIF ON=*bowyer* IF ( || ) DORAND 3 SAY I think we have a bowyer. I've never been there myself. SAY Thou might try one of the center islands, away to the west. Methinks I've seen a bowyer's sign hanging there. SAY The bowyer is on a central island ... the same as is the armourer and weaponsmith. ENDDO ELSE DORAND 3 SAY I have no use for bows. They are precious little protection against city thieves. SAY I think the bowyer is near the armourer, but mayhap I am mistaken. SAY Someone mentioned buying a bow to the west side of town, but there was something about it either being the old bards' guildhouse or going to be the new bards' .... ENDDO ENDIF ON=*tinker* IF ( || ) DORAND 3 SAY Our tinker's shop can be found on a central island, somewhat north. SAY The tinker is on the same island as the woodworker, just east of the armourer's island. SAY If thou hast found the healer's island, then one bridge north will bring thee to the tinker. ENDDO ELSE DORAND 3 SAY Thou knowest, I'm not entirely sure what a tinker is .... SAY I think I saw the tinker's sign near the woodworker's place, or was it the blacksmith .... SAY I'm not sure, but I think I passed the tinker on the way to the healer's. ENDDO ENDIF ON=*wood* IF ( || ) DORAND 3 SAY The woodworker's shop can be found but one bridge north of the healer's island. SAY Woodcrafting is a delicate, precise business. We are fortunate to have a skilled woodworker in Vesper, just next to the tinker's shop, central in Vesper. SAY The woodworker is just west of the Seaman's Guild, but it takes a fair bit of walking on bridges to get there. ENDDO ELSE DORAND 3 SAY I've never been in the woodcrafter's shop. I pass it when I got to Healer, though. SAY I've always said, sittin' on the floor's good enough for me. I don't even know where the woodworker hangs up his sign. SAY I don't know exactly where the woodworker's place is. Maybe central Vesper? If he teaches classes, I'm interested, though. I've got a great idea for a rolling wooden bidet .... ENDDO ENDIF ON=*sea*guild* IF ( || ) DORAND 3 SAY I still do not think 'tis a proper thing to have the Seaman's Guild on dry land, but I suppose an island is better than mainland. Look near the docks to find it. SAY The Seaman's Guild is the largest building on the isle where thou'lt find the docks. SAY On the centermost island, farthest to the east, thou canst find the Seaman's guild. ENDDO ELSE DORAND 3 SAY My best guess is near the docks, but I don't know. SAY I've never looked for the seafolks' guildhouse. I guess I always thought they met on a boat. SAY I don't know rightly, but I see a lot of sailors head to the northern isle, and that's not near the tavern. ENDDO ENDIF ON=*shipwright* ON=*ship wright* IF ( || ) DORAND 3 SAY The shipwright is the nearest building to the docks, o'course! SAY We've a fine shipwright here ... finest in the land, no doubt about it! The shop is closest to the docks, on the east side of Vesper. SAY The shipwright is on the island north of the inn, and similarly east of the healer. ENDDO ELSE DORAND 3 SAY Look for the shipwright near the docks. SAY Next door the shipwrong, of course. SAY I've never been in the market for a ship, so I don't know. I guess I'd go lookin' for unfinished ships lyin' around the outside. ENDDO ENDIF ON=*mapmaker* ON=*cartographer* ON=* map* IF ( || ) DORAND 2 SAY Cartographer's are usually found sharing space with shipwrights. SAY If there isn't a mapmaker to be found at the shipwright's, then I can't help thee much. ENDDO ELSE DORAND 2 SAY Cartographer's are found with shipwrights. SAY If there ain't a mapmaker at the shipwright's, then I can't help thee much. ENDDO ENDIF ON=*reagent* IF ( || ) DORAND 3 SAY We have a reagent supply house that stays fairly well stocked ... not that I know much of these matters. Look to the building close to the docks. SAY As for spell fuel ... the best place to look would be the reagent shop close to the docks. If thou hast never been, head to the eastern side of Vesper, more toward the center. SAY I can tell thee that our mage buys reagents from the reagent shop near the docks. The stuff comes from all over, and Vesper gets first pick-through. ENDDO ELSE DORAND 3 SAY Reagent. Sounds like what one does to an ex-agent. SAY Reagent is a magic thing, right? I think the mage is up north. SAY I don't know. I've never done magicky things that didn't come prepared. ENDDO ENDIF ON=*healer* IF ( || ) DORAND 3 SAY If thou hast a few cuts and bruises to be tended to, take them to the healer. Thou'lt find aid and a gentle touch on the small island near the center of the city. SAY Our healer has trained with the best, friend, as will be more than able to ease thy suffering. Look on a small island, just one bridge east of the blacksmith, or one bridge south of the woodworker. SAY The healer has a central location in Vesper, not too far from anywhere. ENDDO ELSE DORAND 3 SAY Yeah, the healer's kinda south. SAY Yeah, the healer's central. SAY I just kinda wander around until I find the place. Lose a lotta blood like that. ENDDO ENDIF ON=*blacksmith* ON=*smith* IF ( || ) DORAND 3 SAY Thou'lt find the blacksmith on the largest of the southern isles. SAY When thou dost find the large southern isle, look to the north of it to find the blacksmith. SAY The smithy is to the west side of town, next to the provisioner and tailor. It's on a largish peace of land, and at the northern tip. ENDDO ELSE DORAND 3 SAY I've never seen the shop, I hear it often enough. Every time I'm south I get a headache. SAY He's not too far from the healer, I can tell thee that much. Sometimes the screams drowns out the anvil. SAY Oh, I never go to the blacksmith. It's very hot there, and the sparks fly toward thine eyes. ENDDO ENDIF ON=*tailor* IF ( || ) DORAND 3 SAY There's a fine tailor's shop in Vesper. Look to the largest southern island, in the building just north of the warriors' guildhouse. SAY If it's new clothes thou'rt interested in, think of visiting our tailor. I warrant thou'lt be pleased with the quality; 'tis very good. Look about the island just west of the healer and tavern. SAY Most of the clothes that are not home-spun were purchased from the tailor on the west side of town. Look south of the bowyer for the sign. ENDDO ELSE DORAND 3 SAY I make me own clothes. SAY I can patch my clothes as good as anyone, and cheaper than that fancy guy in the western store. SAY I don't like the tailor's shop. It's too close to the smithy. ENDDO ENDIF ON=*warrior*guild* ON=*fight*guild* IF ( || ) DORAND 3 SAY If thou wishes to find the Warriors' Guild, 'tis but one short bridgespan from the tavern, o'course. SAY The soldiers and fighters gather in their hall on the large southern island. SAY The fighters meet in a hall within a moment's dash to the tavern. 'Tis to the south side of Vesper ... listen for the sound of practice drills. ENDDO ELSE DORAND 3 SAY I don't know. I've never been a professional fighter. SAY I see a lot of soldier's going south. SAY Thou knowest, my best guess is the fighters' guild would be near the tavern. ENDDO ENDIF ON=*tavern* IF ( || ) DORAND 3 SAY Tavern? On the south side of town, it has a central location. SAY We only have but the one tavern. It's a short stroll for the fighters from their guildhouse, but a sailor from the docks has to walk a fair distance to pour an ale down his gullet. SAY The tavern is on one of the southern islands, I believe toward the center. I see it when I run errands to the customs house. ENDDO ELSE DORAND 3 SAY The tavern's on a south island. SAY The tavern? Always too close when thou'rt at home, too far when thou art leavin' it. SAY Canst thou believe that Vesper only has one tavern? What if I be in the north and get thirsty? ENDDO ENDIF ON=*inn* IF ( || ) DORAND 6 SAY We have two inns, if thou considers the mainland inn a part of Vesper proper. Some folks do, some don't. SAY On the western shore, at the southern end of Vesper, is an inn. It is much the same as the inn on the south-central island. SAY We've a very nice inn, or so I'm told. Not only is it large, but 'tis on one of the southern islands all to itself, all the better for peaceful slumber. SAY The inn? 'Tis south of the docks by one bridge, on an island all to itself. SAY The inn? 'Tis on the western bank of the river. SAY The inn can be found in the southern part of Vesper, betwixt the island with customs and the island where the docks are found. ENDDO ELSE DORAND 3 SAY I don't need an inn. I live here. SAY We've got two. One's on the west shore, one's more to the east, on an island. SAY An inn? I'd rather sleep under the stars than pay someone for a ceiling! ENDDO ENDIF ON=*customs* IF ( || ) DORAND 3 SAY Customs is in the southern part of Vesper, near a guild hall and also the tavern. SAY Customs is in the very southeast part of Vesper. SAY If thou'rt looking for the customs house, look in the southeast part of the city. It is close on to the tavern, if that helps. ENDDO ELSE DORAND 3 SAY Customs? Now go thou and ask a wealthy trader or some such. SAY My best guess would be near the docks. SAY There's a big building on the southmost island. That could be it. ENDDO ENDIF ON=*tanner* IF ( || ) DORAND 3 SAY The tanner is downwind of the city, of course! Look to the southernmost part of town. SAY The tanner is one bridge away from shore, at the point farthest south of the city. SAY If thou hast found the inn on the mainland, take the southernmost bridge, and there thou'lt find the tavern. ENDDO ELSE DORAND 3 SAY The tanner? It stinks too much to go there! SAY The tanner is well to the south from the rest of the city. I don't like it there. SAY The tanner is too close, but I suppose it cannot get farther south. ENDDO ENDIF ON=*cemetery* ON=*mortu* ON=*grave* ON=*crypt* ON=*bury*dead* IF ( || ) DORAND 3 SAY Our dead are buried on the western bank. SAY Our mortuary and crypts are on the western bank, north of the inn. SAY There's no room to bury our dead on the islands. They are laid to rest to the west of Vesper.
