Idle banter

Forstum will ocassionally chat with Faril:

Cashguard Basher Forstum: Glitterbeard was in a mood just now.

• Cashguard Captain Faril: A mood? Mate, he was nervous.
  • Cashguard Basher Forstum: What for? The big bald fellow he was escorting?
    • Cashguard Captain Faril: With the half-elf, aye. New clients, maybe? Either way, Glitterbeard was fit to fill his trousers.
      • Cashguard Basher Forstum: Heh. Just as well he's going down to special deposits.
        • Cashguard Captain Faril: All right. Calm down.

Cashguard Basher Forstum: Agh.

• Cashguard Captain Faril: What's wrong with you now?
  • Cashguard Basher Forstum: Shoulder. Glitterbeard kept checking this one chest in the vault, over and over - nearly dropped a door on me. Mustn't have seen me.
    • Cashguard Captain Faril: Or maybe he did.

Cashguard Basher Forstum: Mark the notice in the barracks, by the way. The anti-magic whatsit is banjaxed.

• Cashguard Captain Faril: Aye, I heard. Word is the Gondian guild has downed tools and gone walkabouts.
  • Cashguard Basher Forstum: Striking, I bet. Lazy gits. Wish I could go on strike.
