Auphiliot
Been takin' me advice an' puttin' yer skills to work at the Druthers, have ye? Now that's what I like to see from a strappin' young lass/lad. Well, tighten yer bootstraps, 'cause I've got another job for ye.
Was downin' a pint o' Buscarron's finest the other day when I heard that the Qiqirn are hoardin' stashes o' poison 'round these parts. Can't say for sure what they're up to, but it can't be nothin' good. What say you take these firepots here an' go blow up the whole bleedin' lot?
Report to Auphiliot.
Auphiliot
The poison stashes are no more, ye say? Good lass/lad! Yer next pint will be on me.
Were it my druthers, I'd grab those Qiqirn one by one an' string 'em up by their ratty ears, but old man Buscarron won't have none o' that. Says each battle we forgo now saves us one down the road, an'─to tell the truth─I'm startin' to come 'round to his ways.
