Bestowal Dialogue

'I'm told Mariners have a talent for telling stories, and that some of them know quite a few songs capable of lifting spirits in trying times. Shanties, I believe you call them. Is that so?

'These storms are always bad for business. Either none of my customers show up at all, or they make a great big mess of things! Nob and Bob were cleaning up the puddles for hours last time, and by the end of the night, we'd all agreed that I should put thicker rugs and mats by the doors. Now that I mention it, I never did get around to that...'

Barliman Butterbur pauses for a moment, pulls a small piece of parchment from beneath the counter, and scribbled something onto it.

'Nevertheless, a good shanty or two would do a fair bit to raise their spirits, I think. besides, if my customers are entertained, I find they're usually a bit better-behaved as the night wears on!

'If you'd be willing to sing a few shanties at the Pony this evening, I can offer you a fair wage. What do you say, <name>?'

Completed: Instance: Shanties in the Storm

Objective 2

  • Talk to Barliman Butterbur

Barliman Butterbur can be found at the Prancing Pony, in Bree-town.

Barliman Butterbur: 'It was very kind of you to stick it out until the rain stopped, <name>.
'I'm just sorry that old Billy Ferny gave you trouble. Why, I swear I have to run him out of here every week! TO be honest, I don't know why Harry puts up with him. It seems your shanties were a delight to the rest of my customers, though. Some of them have even asked when you'll be coming back! I am told that I am sometimes forgetful, but that's just because there's simply so much to be done. I don't think your shanties will fade from my memory anytime soon, though!
'You seem a fine Mariner, my friend, and so long as I am its proprietor, you will always be welcome at the Prancing Pony!'
