You: What favor?
Viran: Ah, nothin' big. You see, workin' all the way out here can get a tad risky with all those bloodflies buzzin' about.
Viran: We could work SO MUCH faster if they were gone. Y'know what I mean?
Viran: You really think I'm that daft, don't you?
Viran: "Orun sent me to fetch the harvest" - and, poof, just like that, all the herbs are gone.
You: Go ask him yourself if you don't believe me ...
Viran: Nah, I got a better idea. How about YOU prove you ain't some grifter by doin' us a little favor?
You: But Orun really sent me.
Viran: Of course.
You: How's the harvesting going?
Viran: Yeah, yeah, have your laugh. I'm sure the gurus will give you better tasks.
Viran: At least I don't have to get on my knees and cut anymore. The commoners do that for me now. He he he ...
You: I'm here for the next harvest.
Viran: What, again?
You: Don't tell me you want me to kill the swamp sharks this time. I'm in a rush.
Viran: All right, all right. Here, take the bloody herbs!
Viran: Then you better get yourself some optics. They're still out there!
You: I took care of the bloodflies.
Viran: Kill all bloodflies within, say, twenty paces. Then we'll talk.
Viran: You actually did. Not bad, mate, not bad.
Viran: Whoever would risk his life for this is either on our side or a complete fool.
Viran: And fools are too dumb to be grifters, ain't they?
Viran: Anyhow, here's the harvest. Best take it straight to Kalom.
Viran: Oh, and if he bleats about how it ain't enough again, tell him to move his bony arse over here and cut some sheafs himself.
You: What are you guys doing out here?
Viran: What's it look like? We're pickin' the herbs for the smoke rolls.
Viran: Pretty dangerous as you can imagine, but this swamp's the only place where they grow. Which is a good thing.
You: How so?
Viran: Cause that means the other camps can't get their paws on it. We're the only ones in the Colony who get to harvest that stuff.
Viran: We take what we need for ourselves, and trade the rest - and WE pick the price.
