Sometimes you must put yourself before others, even when those others have great need. The reward is often worth it!

'Don't look to me for advice, Player. It's not my role to choose, or help you choose. You must look inside yourself and do what you think is right, for yourself or for others.'1/1
1 Speak toWinston Goodnough (Show dialog)
'Player, I hear you're interested in some fine clothing. You have good taste! If you help me, I'll see that you're wearing the finest style that Winter-home has to offer.
'I need your help, you see. When I came into my mayorship, I ignorantly put town money into unstable investments. I let go many workers, but the town is still in trouble. That's why the festival is here -- to raise money!
'I keep promising them that the festival will help the town, which will let them have their normal wages back. But first I must use the festival profits to get out of my own debt. A southerner told me that there is a very promising investment to be made in a war that seems to be brewing in faraway lands.
'Sadly, the festival didn't raise enough for me to invest properly, so I need to cut back on the workforce again. Can you get some dirt on any disloyal workers? I hear that they trust you....'1/1
2 Speak toGareth Rust (Show dialog)
'Oh, if it isn't the mayor's particular friend! I'm surprised he hasn't adopted you as part of the Goodnough family. That's right -- I saw you talking at length with the mayor.
'I've nothing to say to you. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have work to do.'1/1
3 Speak toDaley Utteridge (Show dialog)
'Ah, Player. I am terribly sorry for the way my friend Gareth just spoke to you. He is very unhappy, you see. Many folks are, and it troubles my heart.
'Nay, don't listen to my ramblings. It is just the heaviness of winter that troubles me. I do not wish to burden you while you're visiting our town. Please, go back and enjoy the festivities!'1/1

7 Speak toDaley Utteridge (Show dialog)
'I appreciate your sympathy, Player. I think talking to you might help to ease my mind, for I can see that you have a good soul.
'You see, my friend Gareth recently found a stray paper after Guard Frostway from the town vault came to make his nightly collection for the store-house. Gareth kept the fallen record, though I told him he should return it to Guard Frostway, and he read its contents.
'I am sure he must be mistaken, but he claims that the mayor has made some very unsavoury investments of the town's money, and that is why we work as hard as we do, for so little, and why so many folks are out of work.
'I couldn't believe it, Player. I am sure Gareth read it wrong. He is angry though...I do not know what he means to do.'1/1
8 Speak toWinston Goodnough (Show dialog)
'Gareth Rust found my records? And Daley Utteridge told you, a visitor, all about it? Surely he means to blackmail me. It seems you caught them just in time, for it looks as though they meant to expose me in front of everyone. Well, they will both be sorry!
'One more favour, if you please, Player. I would ask you to meet me outside of town for some unpleasant business regarding this little issue you've uncovered.
'There is a summons-horn in the woods. Use it when you're ready, and I'll come to you. I'll send word to the workers to heed the call as well. I'm afraid there shall be a bit of a confrontation....'1/1
