a traveling salesmen stopping for a drink.
I am a travelling salesman that is just stopping in the village for a drink. I have traveled throughout the kingdom and I have many rare objects for sale. I am a crooked salesman and I will take advantage of any villagers.
A talking crow! Do you have an agent? I'm collecting healing water from the Sacred Pool of the Talking Crow. No I do not have an agent and you should not drink that... I travel the kingdom, purveying rare and wondrous object, such as this Healing Water or this Miraculous Root that survived the Pond of Death. What other things have you gathered? This Leaf of Prosperity... How does that work? That's a secret lost to time, It's a true mystery of nature. Let us solve it! You're a gentlecrow and a scholar, I'll leave that line of enquiry in your talons! Here we go! It's working! I feel more prosperous already! This true prosperity?
