|} ==Interactive window== {{Event}} |-|A= {{EventTab|header=Along the road...}} [[File:event_41.png|left]] While marching along, a lone merchant with his packhorse emerges onto your path. He has his arms out and his hands visible. {{EventSpeech|Evening, travelers. Might I interest you in some wares?}} He lists off a number of things the {{EventVariable|Companyname}} could possibly have no use for, but then he mentions a map. You must've raised an eyebrow, because he raises his and a smile with it. {{EventSpeech|Ah, interested in a map are ya? This here cartographical, topographical, geographical oddity carried by a man who, I assure you, is quite sensical! This here paper tells you the exact location of the famous '{{EventVariable|Location}}'. I'm sure you've heard about it, yes? Host to untold treasures! Resting place of some this world's finest arms! And all it'll cost you is a meager {{Tooltip|{{EventVariable|Cost}}|600-1400}} crowns!}} He turns his head with a long grin. It appears he's sold some of his teeth in his days on the road. {{EventSpeech|So, travelers, what you got to say to that?}} {{EventButtons}} {{EventButton|I'm intrigued, we'll buy the map. (|#C|50% success|,{{Sp}}|#D|50% failure|,{{Sp}}|#B|guaranteed success with a Historian|)}} {{EventButton|Not interested. (the event ends)}} {{EventButton||#E|{{EventVariable|Peddler}}, you used to be a peddler. Get us a better deal!}} {{EventButton||#F|{{EventVariable|Thief}}, you used to be a thief. Get us that map!}} {{EventTabEnd}} |-|B= {{EventTab|header=Along the road...|left=Historian's token}} [[File:event_45.png|left]] Having acquired the map, you take a good long look at it. You take out your own map and start looking between the two. There's nothing on the purchased map that can be cross-referenced. In fact, the map you bought has strange runes scribbled at the edges. It's either a recent fake, or it originated in a time when the common tongue was not your own. Either way, it seems very unusable. Just as you get ready to ball it up and throw it away, {{EventVariable|Historian}} the historian walks up and gently takes it. He looks at the runes and begins nodding, running his finger along the edges before drawing them further inward, amongst the map's poorly drawn mountains and rivers and forests. {{EventSpeech|Hmmm... Oh... Ah yes, I've read of this place before. And I know these runes, though I dare not speak them aloud.}} He takes the company map and uses three quill pens pinched between his fingers to slowly triangulate and translate the directions. Finished, he nods and whacks the back of his hand against the company map. {{EventSpeech|There, sir. That's where we'll find it.}} {{EventSeparator}} {| class="event-table" style="margin:auto; max-width:50%" |- | [[File:special.png|x25px]] || {{EventVariable|Location}} is revealed |- | [[File:crowns.png|x25px]] || You spend {{EventVariable|Cost}} Crowns (if didn't steal the map) |} {{EventButtons}} {{EventButton|Good to have someone with your skills with us. (the event ends)}} {{EventTabEnd}} |-|C= {{EventTab|header=Along the road...}} [[File:event_45.png|left]] You take the map and give it a good read. You can identify some of the locations and, in time, translate its contents onto your own map. The {{EventVariable|Companyname}} is murmuring with excitement over what might be there. {{EventSeparator}} {| class="event-table" style="margin:auto; max-width:50%" |- | [[File:special.png|x25px]] || {{EventVariable|Location}} is revealed |- | [[File:crowns.png|x25px]] || You spend {{EventVariable|Cost}} Crowns (if didn't steal the map) |} {{EventButtons}} {{EventButton|Let's claim it for the company! (the event ends)}} {{EventTabEnd}} |-|D= {{EventTab|header=Along the road...}} [[File:event_45.png|left]] You look at the map, you stare at it, you practically interrogate it with a long, long gaze. But you're just not seeing it. {{EventVariable|Randombrother}} takes a look then shakes his head. {{EventSpeech|I don't recognize a bit of it, sir.}} It's a fake or a map to a land you do not recognize as your own - either way, it's completely useless. {{EventSeparator}} {| class="event-table" style="margin:auto; max-width:50%" |- | [[File:crowns.png|x25px]] || You spend {{EventVariable|Cost}} Crowns (if didn't steal the map) |} {{EventButtons}} {{EventButton|We've been had. (the event ends)}} {{EventTabEnd}} |-|E= {{EventTab|header=Along the road...|left=Peddler's token}} [[File:event_41.png|left]] {{EventVariable|Peddler}} the peddler steps forward, his hands out just like the traveling merchant's had been. Apparently this is a common tactic amongst honest thieves. {{EventSpeech|Sir, sir, please. Come on. That price is outrageous.}} The merchant's face sours. {{EventSpeech|There is nothing outrageous about it, I promise you.}} But your peddler persists. {{EventSpeech|Clearly there is something outrageous, because I just said so, did I not?}} The merchant nods. The peddler continues. {{EventSpeech|So we've decided to not purchase it at your original asking price. That much is clear. So, friend, I think we will purchase it for {{Tooltip|{{EventVariable|Cost}}|half the original price, 300-700 crowns}}. That is fair to all parties involved, and surely a fine businessman such as yourself can see a deal! We're hardly businessmen ourselves, but we know that's a good deal!}} The merchant scratches his chin, then nods. {{EventSpeech|Alright, that price is fair.}} {{EventButtons}} {{EventButton|A better bargain! (|#C|50% success|,{{Sp}}|#D|50% failure|,{{Sp}}|#B|guaranteed success with a Historian|)}} {{EventButton|Still not worth it. (the event ends)}} {{EventTabEnd}} |-|F= {{EventTab|header=Along the road...|left=Thief's token}} [[File:event_41.png|left]] While you're talking to the merchant, {{EventVariable|Thief}} the thief sidles up next to you, appearing rather interested in the conversation. He glances at you. You do a double take. He grins and nods. You quickly eye the salesman then glance back at the thief and nod. The merchant is in the middle of his sales pitch and sees none of this. He keeps talking, but you hear little of it. You just know to keep nodding for a merchant such as he only tells you things you want to hear anyway. The thief slips around the back and drops a weapon into the mud. {{EventSpeech|Clumsy me.}} He bends down, pauses, there's a motion you can hardly detect, and then he's upright again. He gives you a wink. You tell the merchant you appreciate the offer, but you'll have to pass. When he's gone, {{EventVariable|Thief}} presents you with the map and grins. {{EventSpeech|They say the best things in life are free.}} {{EventButtons}} {{EventButton|Now that's what I call a discount.
