"Initially the Aspis Consortium approached me wanting to buy the Green Market, but I wasn't interested. It's been very successful and, though I never thought I'd find myself saying this, I love what I do. After I refused, they wanted to lease space inside of it, but when I found out what they wanted to sell I declined. That's when they started to harass me."
"They had wanted to sell weapons, armor, and magic goods. Those things have their place, but my customers are not adventurers. They are people looking for food and goods they need to survive. The Green Market is a community-based business, and I am determined to keep it that way."
"As for the Consortium, initially they just sent over pompous businessmen to convince me an alliance would benefit us both. I repeatedly declined their advances, so they started sending around thugs to "persuade" me. Till now, I've run to the city guard or otherwise eluded the Aspis thugs, but it's only a matter of time before their methods of intimidation get too dangerous for me to refuse."
"If the Aspis Consortium sees that I have protectors of the likes of you Pathfinders, I hope they'll leave me alone. Stick around the market and see what they do. It's only a matter of time until they come back to try and strong-arm me again."
