Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Bonded Servant: Excuse me, [miss/sir], but you are a fellow visitor here, yes? I wonder if you would be willing to perform for me a trifling service...
Bonded Servant: I serve a particular family of the Eulmoran elite, and it is at the behest of my patron─a man with a discerning taste for fine drink─that I have ventured to the famous breweries of Wright.
Bonded Servant: Oh, do you not partake yourself? Otherwise you would surely be aware of Wright's incomparable ale, and its glowing reputation amongst the privileged of Eulmore!
Bonded Servant: In recent years, however, it seems distribution of this golden liquid has ground to a halt, and thus have I been sent to make a purchase directly from the source.
Bonded Servant: A simple task, you might think...except the people of Wright are not overly receptive to visitors from Eulmore. Downright dismissive, in fact!
Bonded Servant: Do you understand my dilemma? I need you to speak to the villagers, and procure a supply of ale in my stead─a service for which you will be paid most handsomely!
(Optional)
Bonded Servant: Pray bargain with the villagers on my behalf, and I shall see you rewarded for any ale you acquire. 

Speaking with the venerable villager

Venerable Villager: Hm? You're wantin' to buy some Wright ale?
Venerable Villager: Well now, we was indeed famous for our ale once, but that age is long past...
Venerable Villager: Any barley we grow these days is bound for the oven or the cookin' pot─there's naught to be spared for brewin' beers and the like.
Venerable Villager: You put that young back to work bringin' in the harvest, though, and I might be convinced to part with a bottle from my private stock...
(Optional)
Venerable Villager: Help me harvest the field there, and I'll see what ale I've got left hidin' in the larder. 

Delivering the stalks of golden barley to the venerable villager

Venerable Villager: You've brought me my barley, then?
<Hand Over 3 Golden Barley>
Venerable Villager: Thank you, [lass/lad]. There's fewer hands around to help out ever since the... <cough>
Venerable Villager: It's a good drop, our Wright ale is. Slides down the throat like honeyed sunshine, so they say, and afore you know it you've downed the whole damn bottle.
Venerable Villager: Drink it slow and easy, [lass/lad], or you'll be wakin' up with a sore head come the morrow! 

Delivering the bottle of Wright ale to the bonded servant

Bonded Servant: Were you successful in your bargaining?
<Hand Over Wright Ale>
Bonded Servant: I see... That would explain why the trickle of ale into Eulmore has ceased altogether. I shall report this situation to my patron, and see what can be provided in the form of laborers and surplus comestibles.
Bonded Servant: In any case, I thank you for securing this precious bottle, kind traveler! Your payment, as promised...
