Greetings, <PCNAME>!<BR><BR>No, we haven't met. But everyone's heard of you. Heck, word in the barracks is that Dirken will pay top coin for anything, um, disparaging about you.<BR><BR>Well, screw Dirken and his dirty money. But others lack both my rugged good looks and my unimpeachable virtue.<BR><BR>You ought to ingratiate yourself to your new comrades around here. One good way to do that is to hunt a bunch of {@LinkCreature:12#8#Red Lash killers} and bring back their weapons. That'll impress 'em. I'll make sure everyone knows that these swords mean "<PCNAME> is here and ready to kick ass."<BR><BR>And I might send a sword to Dirken with a note that says, "Dear Dirken: When I plucked this sword from a now-dead enemy, I thought of you..." Look, if you just sit around, you'll get a reputation as a lollygagger. No one wants that.<BR><BR>I mean, just listen to the word. "Lollygagger." I can't say it with a straight face.<BR><BR>"Lollygagger." Hee hee!
