Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue 'Ugh, I hurt my back recently, and now I cannot lift the sacks of rice I ordered. I need to check them in case I need to send any of them back to my supplier, but I can't easily move from this spot. Could you do it for me? No, you don't need to open the sacks. Just give them a whack. You'll know by the feel and the sound if the bag is good or not. 'The sacks were unloaded by the Wharf-gate between the Sail-haven and the Upper Ward. There is an alley on the Sail-haven side of the gate where my men leave them. I need them to bring the sacks all the way here next time, if my back is not better, but I know they will not want to do that unless I pay them more... and that would be very difficult to do unless my fortunes change!'

That neither sounded nor felt right Objective 4 Pick up the bag of bad rice You have found a bag of rice that does not pass muster. Pick it up and drop it next to the injured merchant. The injured merchant can be found outside the Monger's Guild-hall in the Upper Ward. You dropped the bag of rice! - if dropped You have delivered the bag of bad rice Objective 5 Smack the bags of rice (3/5) A merchant has hurt his back and wants you to inspect them in his stead by smacking the bags. His bags of rice can be found arrayed beyond the Wharf-gate just inside the Sail-haven. Injured Merchant: 'Only one sack of bad rice so far? I hope the others are good. 'You will return there to check the rest of them?'

The injured merchant is outside the Monger's Guild-hall in the Upper Ward of Umbar Baharbêl. Injured Merchant: 'Oh good! So there was only the one bag that did not pass the smack test? Good. I will return it and ask that my coin be returned to me... when I am able to, of course. For now, I will sit here and enjoy the breeze.'
