[Traders' Guild, Upper Lounge]
This quiet lounge overlooks the bustling Trading Pit. Large windows, with thick panes of glass, prevent the clamorous din of buying and selling from making its way here and keep any non-guild member from possibly overhearing any private conversations or learning any guild secrets. Couches lined up along the walls allow observation of the chaos below in comfort. You also see a well-dressed servant, a pleasant servitor, a dour attendant, a goblet of Golden Dragon Arrack, a wide wood basin, a glass of sparkling champagne, a goblet of golden champagne, a glass of drowning man's dream, a lavish mistwood buffet with some stuff on it, a flagon of mulled wine, a miniature golden keg filled with ginger beer and a miniature golden keg filled with ginger beer.
Also here: Bargain Seller Vanthala who is sitting, Guildleader Willowbrook, Antiquary Dulan, Inventor Chippy, Guildleader Ansprahv, Traveler Pitney, Spoon King Abison who is sitting, Mentor Rajara.

The distinguished attendant says, "Of course, sir. I offer GROOMing services, as well as the ability to DRY you, should you need it. I have some PERFUME or COLOGNE choices as well as a supply of bundling ROPEs and POUCHes for your use. If you have a market table and need it cleared off, I will be able to PACK it for you, or if you had previously had the items taken by the Monger, I can have someone get them back for you if you ask me for the GOODS. If you need to wander about, you can ask me to FOLLOW or STAY, depending on your needs. Of course, you can always ask me to LEAVE or DISMISS me and I will be happy to tell you how much things COST if you ask me."

(In summary, you can ask your hireling about GROOM, DRY, PERFUME, COLOGNE, ROPE, POUCH, PACK, GOODS, FOLLOW, STAY, LEAVE, DISMISS, and COST. Please be aware some services incur a onetime cost for each use. For a list of prices for services, ask the hireling about COST.)

You hear a muffled whirring sound.

You say, "you'll just be talkin to the stable boys alot more"

Rajara says, "but if nothing is in it you can just return it like ya normally do."

Rajara asks, "Oh I was wondering on the packing up.. do they have to be in the same room with the table?"
>
Rajara asks, "Or could I say.. ask them here to pack up my table in Crossing?"

Ansprahv nods to Rajara.

Abison picks up a miniature golden keg filled with ginger beer.

Willowbrook asks, "Are they supposed to remotely pack things?"

Abison chuckles.

Rajara grins, revealing her dimples.

Willowbrook asks, "You'd trust them to find the table and pack it for you?"

Rajara says, "Maybe I'd pay em just a few copper more for their trouble."

The chipper worker nods to herself, giving Ansprahv a thorough looking over before getting started.

Chippy says, "I loan them horse"

Willowbrook asks, "For coppers?"

Rajara giggles.

Abison says, "the guild cold only afford stupid servants. They'd have to increase dues to get smart ones"

Willowbrook says, "Well, you're more trusting than I am."

The worker then pulls out a soft bristled brush and starts at Ansprahv's shoulders, using quick flicking motions to remove any debris as she works her way across his torso.
>
Ansprahv says, "They are not allowed to take any payment."
>
Willowbrook says, "They're not stupid but I don't know their backgrounds."
>
Rajara nods.
>
Rajara says, "True true."
>
Willowbrook says, "What you folks leave on tables could fund an entire extended family for a year."

Ansprahv says, "Just for the services and that goes to the organization."

Circling Ansprahv as she continues to work, the worker makes sure to brush down his back and arms, intent on leaving no spot untouched.

Rajara asks, "Now these attendants are the first level of hirelings we will be able to get?"

Chippy asks, "You haven't seen my tables, have you?"

Willowbrook says to Chippy, "Perhaps some more than others."
>
Rajara asks, "Yes I've lost some nice things.. is the monger going to have a sale with all that stuff he collects up sometime soon?"

The chipper worker moves around Ansprahv, taking a moment to carefully adjust the fit of his clothing and making sure everything is in its place.

The chipper worker pulls out a pristine cloth and wipes at something on Ansprahv's cheek then quickly swipes it over his hands before tucking it away again.

Willowbrook says, "At any rate, these are the first hirelings we've commissioned. Testing the waters, so to speak."

Abison stops teaching.

Rajara chortles softly at some secret joke.

Vanthala grins at Abison.

Willowbrook says, "They aren't liking us talking of them."

Willowbrook glances around.

Vanthala says, "ya lost my proffit on the way to leth today"

Vanthala nods at Abison, obviously agreeing with his views.

Chippy says, "like on the ferries"

Willowbrook says, "Well, we have been in talks for some time, but it would be remiss of us to speak on it."

I have some PERFUME or COLOGNE choices as well as a supply of bundling ROPEs and POUCHes for your use. If you have a market table and need it cleared off, I will be able to PACK it for you, or if you had previously had the items taken by the Monger, I can have someone get them back for you if you ask me for the GOODS. If you need to wander about, you can ask me to FOLLOW or STAY, depending on your needs. Of course, you can always ask me to LEAVE or DISMISS me and I will be happy to tell you how much things COST if you ask me."

(In summary, you can ask your hireling about GROOM, DRY, PERFUME, COLOGNE, ROPE, POUCH, PACK, GOODS, FOLLOW, STAY, LEAVE, DISMISS, and COST. Please be aware some services incur a onetime cost for each use. For a list of prices for services, ask the hireling about COST.)

[Traders' Guild, Upper Lounge]
This quiet lounge overlooks the bustling Trading Pit. Large windows, with thick panes of glass, prevent the clamorous din of buying and selling from making its way here and keep any non-guild member from possibly overhearing any private conversations or learning any guild secrets. Couches lined up along the walls allow observation of the chaos below in comfort. You also see a graceful assistant, a calm assistant, a carelessly servitor, a chipper worker, a goblet of Golden Dragon Arrack, a wide wood basin, a glass of sparkling champagne, a goblet of golden champagne, a glass of drowning man's dream, a lavish mistwood buffet with some stuff on it and a flagon of mulled wine.
Also here: Bargain Seller Vanthala who is sitting, Guildleader Willowbrook, Inventor Chippy, Guildleader Ansprahv, Spoon King Abison who is sitting, Bargain Hunter Rajara who is sitting.

The Zoluren army asks, "We're um.... really sorry about the clubhouse and all... so uh... are we cool?"

i think i found a bug. If someone else attempts to steal from the attendent, they beat up the trader. :-)


here is from the ::cough:: perpetrator and then the traders vantage point:

Glancing around absently, the courteous employee surveys the area with an apparent bored look.
>mark all employee
You carefully size up the courteous employee, gauging its overall perception.
As you consider stealing from the courteous employee, you believe its wealth is as good as yours.
You also eye the courteous employee over, trying to discern how much wealth it is carrying.
You feel highly confident in the accuracy of your judgement.
As you consider hiding around the courteous employee, you think it'd be lucky to see a baby thief, let alone you.
You feel highly confident in the accuracy of your judgement.
As you consider an attempt to stalk the courteous employee, you believe it's blind as a bat. Go for it.
You feel highly confident in the accuracy of your judgement.
As you consider a stealthy assault on the courteous employee, you think it'll be dead before it hits the ground.
You feel highly confident in the accuracy of your judgement.

I mean, the bug is that the trader gets the RT. I could understand that if the Trader were the one attempting to steal, but in this case, it wasn't the trader. :-)

> I'm not sure why this bug makes me giggle, it might be that I'm overtired, but it does... It's already on the list for as soon as possible fix, but thanks for the heads up!

>Adera

No...it's not you OR I'm as overtired as you are. That gets my vote, hands down, as the funniest bug I've seen in a long time.

Greetings,

Though fixing this took a little sunshine from my day...it's now bashing the appropriate person.
