You say 'Falcon'
Matinah says 'Ahh, yes. I was once fortunate enough to see the Falcon. Buy me a drink and I'll tell you about it.'

You give a shot of blue lightning to Matinah.
Matinah says 'Wow, thanks. Marech's blue lightning is just what I needed after that last song.'
Matinah drinks firebreather from a shot of blue lightning.
Matinah wonders 'What do you wish to know about the falcon? I can tell you about his exploits... or
perhaps you wish to hear about his famed equipment?'

You say 'equipment'
Matinah says 'Ah, yes... the Falcon's equipment was like none I've ever seen. I've often wondered if he'd be half the rogue without it.'
Matinah grins.
Matinah says 'I can't remember what all he had, but I'm sure Patch would know. He's the barkeep in Thul. If you're wanting the Falcon's
 services, he'd also be a good one to contact.'
Matinah takes a quill and writes something down on a dirty piece of parchment.
Matinah says 'Here, take this so Patch knows we were talking. He may open up a bit more to you if he knows I sent you.'
Matinah gives you a note from Matinah.
Matinah exclaims 'Good luck friend. And be sure to come back and buy me another drink!'

Go to Patch the bartender in Thul Abhara.

You say 'Matinah'
Patch the bartender wonders 'Matinah sent you eh? Have any proof?'

You give a note from Matinah to Patch the bartender.
Patch the bartender says 'Ah, a friend of Matinah's is always welcome here.'
Patch the bartender whispers to you 'It's unwise to discuss the Falcon's name in open though, so I'd appreciate it if you'd 
keep your voice down.'
Patch the bartender grins as if his thoughts are mischievous.
Patch the bartender whispers to you 'To be honest, though, I've not seen the Falcon in quite some time. I have a feeling he 
may have met an untimely demise though.'

You say 'demise'
Patch the bartender motions you to come forward.
Patch the bartender whispers to you 'Yes, he could be dead for all I know. I haven't seen him, or his handiwork, for quite a 
while. There's also rumours that his gear has been in circulation amongst the traders.'
Patch the bartender looks around to see if anyone is watching.
Patch the bartender whispers to you 'I can't help you find the man, if its his services you're needing, but I can direct you 
towards someone who may have a bead on where his eq is these days.'
Patch the bartender coughs loudly.
Patch the bartender whispers to you 'Friend or not, that kind of information don't come cheap though... it'll cost you 5 
million coins.'

You give 5,000,000 coins to Patch the bartender.
Patch the bartender smiles happily.
Patch the bartender says 'Pleasure doing business with you.'
Patch the bartender whispers to you 'Now, I don't know who was selling the equipment personally, but I do know that the 
GuildMistress of one of the Thieves Guilds had a hand in purchasing one of the items.'
Patch the bartender looks around for anyone listening in on his conversation.
Patch the bartender whispers to you 'She had a rather enormous contract out on the Falcon's head after he refused to work for 
her. In addition to the death contract she offered substantial rewards for the his equipment, which she knew quite well.'
Patch the bartender says 'Be wary of dealing with that one...'
Patch the bartender coughs realizing he spoke this last phrase out loud and begins to polishing the bar.

Go to Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport in Shadowport.

Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport stops what she is doing as you enter and nods in your direction.
Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport says 'Welcome, Playername, my spies have told me you've been looking for me. 
I think I know why you're here, but in case I'm mistaken, how may I help you?'

You say 'Falcon'
Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport nods solemnly.
Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport says 'Yes, I heard you were inquiring about the Falcon. You have probably 
also heard I dislike the fellow. Nothing could be further from the truth though, as I have a great deal of respect for his 
skills.'

Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport says 'That said, I am a businesswoman, and he broke a contract we had 
together to do a job, saying it "contravened his ethics". A thief with morals is a danger to us all. My contract on his head 
was simply a means to ensure others do not follow his ways.'
Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport chuckles politely.
Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport says 'It's bad for business.'

Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport says 'And speaking of business. Do you wish to do business with me? If I 
feel you are worthy of the information, I wouldn't be opposed to hiring you for some odd jobs. You would have to prove your 
worth to me of course.'
Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport looks at you.
Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport says 'Your equipment appears to be moderately useful, though if it is an 
indication of your skill, you may not do well in the task I need you to complete.'

You say 'task'
Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport says 'It's more of a job than a task I guess.'

You say 'job'
Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport says 'Excellent, Playername. I am glad you are interested.'
Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport grins.

Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport says 'Our Guild has been hired to procure a certain letter from the Lady of 
Dragon Pass. It appears as though our employer has found out this letter is worth quite a bit of money to the lady of the 
Keep and he wishes to blackmail her for its return.'
Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport chuckles politely.

Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport says 'Your task is quite simple, for someone of your calibre. Steal this 
letter without the Lady knowing and return it to me. Beware, however, you are not to read the contents of the letter or our 
deal is off.'

Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport suddenly stands up quite straight and tell, to drive home her final point.
Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport says 'I promised our employer that the letter would remain unread, and so 
it shall be. I am giving you this opportunity to prove yourself. Ensure you do not mess it up.'
Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport grins.

Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport says 'Good luck, and God Speed.'

Go to Lady Kherrian in Dragon's Pass

After stealing the letter from Lady Kherrian in Dragon Pass, return to the Guildmistress and give the letter to her.

You give a note from Lord Kherrian to Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport.
Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport says 'Excellent, and apparently the magical bonds of the note are intact. 
I can see you have not read it. Very good. You follow directions well.'

Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport smiles happily.

Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport says 'We pay well here, and information can often be priceless, so I will 
give you some.'

Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport whispers to you 'Should you be interested in a few of the pieces of the 
Falcon's famed equipment, I will tell you these clues...'

Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport looks around to see who if anyone is watching.

Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport whispers to you 'Find the one who sits and waits to be set free to sail 
again. When you find him, say to him, "Deliess Whurgirn has sent me to free you" and when he asks your price, say to him 
that you want information on the falcon equipment.'

Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport whispers to you 'A friend who provides me with poison powder is in need 
of hand. She was also the benefactor of the Falcon's good will. Seek her out and see if she will be interested 
in trading services. Your blade, for her equipment.'

Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport whispers to you 'The mouse in grey stalks the shadows, anticipating his 
prey. Beware his poisonous bite my friend for it will do you in. The rumour is he wears the falcon's boots, feel free to 
keep them once he's dead.'

Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport draws in closer, and you can feel her breath upon your neck as she whispers in your ear.
Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport whispers to you 'The rumours are true and I do have a piece of the 
Falcon's equipment. When you have found the previous three, find me out again and we shall talk about it.'

Jaxron the Red wonders 'Ah, I was hopefully she'd send someone. What is your price?'

You say 'equipment'
Jaxron the Red says 'Oh, aye... I know that set well. I had come across a piece... some real nice shoulder wear...
a while back. I had a bugger of a time trying to find someone to sell it to. They were just too
well known and folks were afraid the Falcon would try to come collecting.
Jaxron the Red sighs loudly.
Jaxron the Red says 'if you were to unlock me, I'd tell you who bought it...'

>unlock jaxron
Jaxron the Red exclaims 'Ahh, freedom at last! Duke Luther will pay dearly for locking me up!'
Jaxron the Red throws back his head and cackles with insane glee!
Jaxron the Red whispers to you 'Before I'm off, ye need to find a tall norseman in the market place of Ocean Keep. He was the only seller
 I could find for that item of Falcon equipment.'
Jaxron the Red says 'And now, if you'll excuse, I have pirating to do.'
Jaxron the Red bows deeply.
Jaxron the Red darts off into the shadows and is gone.

Leif says 'Ahh, You must have talked with Jaxron. Yes... I do have some arm wear that once belonged to the Falcon.'
Leif thinks, 'Hmmmm.'
Leif says 'I am having issues placing a value on it to be honest. I have been debating taking trade for it. If you can bring me a strand of
 polished jade, a jade cameo, and a gleaming-jade gemstone, I'll give you the Falcon's armwear.'
Leif smiles happily.
Leif says 'Jade is the official stone of my hometown and I never have any problems getting gold for it.'

You give a strand of polished jade to Leif.

You say 'problem'
Maera the Potion-maker moves closer to you to discuss her problem.
Maera the Potion-maker whispers to you 'There's a dark underbelly to this town you may have heard. For years we've been in relative harmony,
 but now those things are starting to hurt my business. I won't stand for it any longer!'
Maera the Potion-maker coughs loudly.
Maera the Potion-maker whispers to you 'I've been after Deliess to clean things up for a while. I guess she figures you're up for it. It'll be
 a messy job destroying those mind flayers, but I figure if you kill 10 of them, along with their leader, that'll quiet things up a bit.'
Maera the Potion-maker looks around to see if anyone is listening.
Maera the Potion-maker says 'Just say your price and we'll shake on it if we can come to an agreement.'

You say 'gear'
Maera the Potion-maker wonders 'Hmm... gear you say?'

Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport says 'Ahh, welcome back $n. I see you have found some of the Falcon's equipment. You have
 done well for yourself.'
Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport chuckles to herself.
Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport says 'I did promise you some information on the remaining piece of Falcon equipment that I
 have, once you were successful in getting the other pieces...'
Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport grins.
Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport says 'I may be a Thief, but I'm an honourable one. The last piece is a mask of great power.'
Deliess Whurgirn, the Guildmistress of Shadowport says 'While I do find you personally rather interesting, and someone who I would have no
