Seal LIONs, not sea lions, huge difference kids, huge difference

Surely the end of the scorpions is neigh?

I just want to say, "good luck, we're all counting on you."

I just want to say, "good luck, we're all counting on you"

at the temple of Wyuddellwyn

Borrow! Don’t be absurd the Old Dwarf bellows

And don’t call me “Father”, that’s reserved for the priests of Abburdun the Wise, the All Father, and Lord of the Dwarven Gods, the old Dwarven priest barks at the Halfling. You can call me the Right Reverend Drogglespok, on formal occasions, and Mister Reverend Drogglespok when it’s less formal, which isn’t often. Now, you say you're short of money, eh. *brumf-hurumph* Typical. Now let me show you something.

The Priest shows you to a strong, large iron box in the west wing of the temple. He takes a small key, hanging from a silver chain around his neck, and unlocks the box. The box opens in the front and he carefully swings the two halves apart to reveal a large, wooden crown. It is much too large for any person or Dwarf to wear. Parts of the wood are embossed with gold filigree, and this is engraved with the pattern of growing vines and flowers.

This here is a sacred relic. It is called the Crown of Wyuddellwyn and any village or town worth a darn has one. We take it out in the spring and place it on the statue for a week. We hold an open air festival, with dancing, songs, drink, food, and ceremonies, a lot of folks chose that time to name their children or take the vows of marriage. I’ve been working on this one since I was a boy, and is one of the best in this county. But it could be better.

He closes the box and locks it shut, then tells you, I’ve heard stories that a rare kind of beryl exists in those mountains, it is called red emerald. Now I don’t need a great big stone, but something small, about this size he shows a space between his thumb and finger that is about the size of a copper piece, I’ll have it polished and cut and placed in the center of the crown. You bring me back a red emerald from the mountains, and you can keep the cart. Otherwise you can rent it for a silver piece each week it’s gone. That’s my offer.
