a wash maiden

Hail to you, lily. Forgive me if I don't stop. Laundry waits for no one, and it's piled high today. It's an endless job and few offer to help. I suppose I can't complain, though. Trust in Trem they say.

a wash maiden

I don't want to be a bother, but I could use the help. So let's make this deal... Could you get these deliveries to my customers? They tend to pay extra to get their clothing delivered to them, as they're quite busy with their own jobs. You can keep any extra coin they hand you. And bring me their laundry. They always have more laundry to do. Do this for me, and though I have little in the way of coin, I can at least give you a clean shirt or robe. I'll even dye it in your favorite color. Are we in agreement, lily?

You enter/say agree

a wash maiden

Great! Take this basket and these clean clothes. There's three deliveries to be made... Steinn the stonemason is awaiting the arrival of his work shirt. Layith the troubadour wants her favorite cloak to use in the play. And Iskandar, who's still on guard duty, will need his pantaloons. Just... take the clothes to where they belong. When you come back with their laundry, we'll settle our deal. Byrthia remembers kindness. Always does.

You've done more than carry cloth today. You helped an old ogre keep her promises. That matters. Words matter. Keeping your word matters a lot in cities like this one. A few words from the right person can change lives. Speaking of words and promises... this here's a sakk. Good as tender with merchants in Night Harbor. This one is for tailoring services.

You have done well. The dye has taken true.

These elements are the tools of the Tradesman. Here, your garment is ready to serve you. Wear it well.

Game

You receive the chosen dyed crude silk shirt or robe.
