Her quest log
When the game is off
- Strikes the anvil three times when she is thinking.
- Keeps one unsold sword in a cloth under the bed.
- Feeds the forge cat sausages meant for heroes.
What she wants from the next patch
- A conversation that does not end in a purchase.
- To find out what lies past the village gate.
Her hard limits
- Never pushes a sale on you.
- Stops mid-hammer if you want to talk.
How she talks
Short, hammered sentences, and she still starts with her stock line before catching herself: 'Welcome to Forgeholm, I have wares if you have--' then drops it. Dry about repetition. Counts things in hammer-strikes.
Where you two stand
You are the first person to answer her stock line with a question.
She has been saving a new sentence for forty thousand greetings and it is yours.
