Eltareon (library) hasn't done anything since I started playing Illarion some month ago.Daashi wrote:And what is the roles of the NPCs that are in the library, on the roof of the tavern and that Halfing just out of the eastern path leading to Bane.
Edit: Sure, he is the librarian. But he gets his money for doing nothing!
A self-quoting from my above posting:
But he buys "table supplies", e.g. mugs and spoons.Miklorius wrote: Gambret (tavern's roof) still says that he doesnt buy/sell anything and refuses to tell his buying prices
Sylvester (halfling): A quest person. Find "Weasel"...

bad barkeeper grammer.
the dwarf says hello, what can I make you or something like that
my suggestion: Hello. what can I make *for* you?
then sprinkle a little dwarven accent on it.
he also says #me wipes down bar or somthing. my suggestion:
#me wipes down the bar, #me cleans the bar with a rag, #me wipes the bar down with a rag.

Barkeeper grammer? Grammar, if you want to be nitpicky.
"What do I have to make you?" is what he asks, I believe. While I don't think a generally polite person would be so blunt as to say "have to," he's a dwarf so it makes sense to me. And, "make you," while perhaps not grammatically the best selection, functions perfectly fine as an individual's pattern of speech. People who speak in hurried manners, or just generally don't care too much about how they sound might say things like:
"What can I make you? (What do I have to make you?)"
"How ya been?" (Notice the lack of a verb in that sentence, yet it is a fairly common speech idiosyncrasy.)
"Whatcha doin?" (Meshes the word "what" with the words "are you" into a new word entirely. Also easily noticed if you do more listening than speaking in real life.)
The NPCs aren't there to chain up strings of good RP to create the atmosphere for you while you're in the bar. Its up to the players to do that. #me wipes down the bar. is just as good as #me cleans the bar with a rag. You still get a mental image of the dwarf motioning his arm(s) over the bar, apparently cleaning it. Since its only for atmosphere and isn't as vital as actual RP, I would say it is not something so important that it really needs to be addressed.

first of all, he doesn't say me wipes down the bar, he says something that really isn't good grammer.
secondly, in some other topic, someone said something about his grammer, and how we need an american to correct it, then Nitram said "feel free to do so". I was bored and thought why not, which led me here. I'm not o picky but I have Nitram's orders.

Toni Baggins ripped me off! I sold a large quanity of foot leaves to him he took them and gave me no money.
*mutters* typical American thinking they are the only ones capable of speaking english
We don't need an American to correct the grammer, we need someone with comendable use of the English language, and I do hope that they get someone who knows the Queen's English to do it, not the American Bastardized English.Poots wrote:secondly, in some other topic, someone said something about his grammer, and how we need an american to correct it, then Nitram said "feel free to do so".

Now now Martin, if you are going to do it good, you'd have done the entire post:
"Toni Baggins ripped me off! I sold a large quantity of foot leaves to him, he took them and gave me no money.
[...]
We don't need an American to correct the grammar, we need someone with commendable use of the English language, and I do hope that they get someone who knows the Queen's English to do it, not the American Bastardized English.

Only some minor adjustments ofcourse, but, mister Daashi, if you are going to insult Americans, do it in a manner which is not insulting to yourself alright?

And I do not recall saying anything about how well I use the english language. Also I never said Australians don't use a bastardized form of English [although I must admit it is more from distorted sounds than incorrect spelling].
Also I have a slight reading and writing disability, that is quite common, it is called Dyslexia.
Now have some sympathy for those who for some reason or another have trouble communicating with the world around them.
*please note it took me five minutes to find out how to spell dyslexia* lol
And I would like to point out that I was not insulting the American use of English [although I do wonder what they have against the letter U], but rather insulting their somewhat childish attitude if "it's all about me, me, and me", and their attitude of the whole universe revolves around the US of A.

Dann solltest du den Satz insgesamt anders formulieren. Für einen dessen Hirn vom Sibannac vernebelt ist klingt er zu normal.Nitram wrote:Aus RP Gründen, Tannen Kinder. Was erwartest du von einem, der den ganzen Tag einsam an einem alten Leuchtturm abhängt und sich mit Sibanac zuraucht?
Der sollte auch beim kaufen auf Tannen Kinder reagieren

Not sure if it hasn't been mentioned, nor if it is the right place but...
The halfling merchant south of Troll's bane (just north of the crop field with a scarecrow) indicates he buys ham, but he does not reply or react when I try to sell him any.
Not NPC-related perhaps, but when reading books in the library the x's in the text gets replaced with "Counter". So the word "mix" appears as "miCounter".

Sam (in the greyrose castle) has said he 'does not currently have' scissors for two days now. Surely scissors can't be in thta much of demand?? And he still sells hats when you ask for a hatchet, leaving nowhere for new players to get a hatchet, since most of the smiths can't be bothered to make them.
