[11/15/2017 6:03:42 PM] Merchant: (to you) Welcome back, avatar! I am pleased you were able to make it to Soltown and deliver my notes to good Stanley. The undead have spread out here a bit but I am able to keep my distance. That covers what has happened since we last spoke, I believe.
[11/15/2017 6:03:42 PM]
[11/15/2017 6:04:01 PM] Christ Pallid: name
[11/15/2017 6:04:01 PM] Merchant: (to you) I am Edvard the Wanderer, Bard of New Britannia!

[11/15/2017 6:05:31 PM] Christ Pallid: Goodbye.
[11/15/2017 6:05:31 PM] Merchant: (to you) And to you a good day!
[11/15/2017 6:05:31 PM]
[11/15/2017 6:05:36 PM] Merchant: (to you) Welcome back, avatar! I am pleased you were able to make it to Soltown and deliver my notes to good Stanley. The undead have spread out here a bit but I am able to keep my distance. That covers what has happened since we last spoke, I believe.
[11/15/2017 6:05:36 PM]
[11/15/2017 6:05:41 PM] Christ Pallid: keep my distance
[11/15/2017 6:05:41 PM] Merchant: (to you) Part of my training in the bardic arts is the knowledge of how to avoid uncomfortable situations. I do believe this qualifies.
[11/15/2017 6:05:41 PM]
[11/15/2017 6:05:52 PM] Christ Pallid: Soltown
[11/15/2017 6:05:52 PM] Merchant: (to you) Soltown is a sleepy little hamlet a few miles south of here. It should be safe for the moment, and in fact if anyone survived this massacre I suspect you will find them there. Along with hopefully an answer or two. And possibly a mystery. And definitely ale.
[11/15/2017 6:05:52 PM]
[11/15/2017 6:06:08 PM] Christ Pallid: My name is Christ
[11/15/2017 6:06:08 PM] Merchant: (to you) So that is the name you are going by, Christ Pallid? I will update the song appropriately!
[11/15/2017 6:06:08 PM]
[11/15/2017 6:06:14 PM] Christ Pallid: epic
[11/15/2017 6:06:14 PM] Merchant: (to you) No, it is nowhere near finished yet and I NEVER perform my work while still in its formative stages.
[11/15/2017 6:06:14 PM]
[11/15/2017 6:06:20 PM] Christ Pallid: mystery
[11/15/2017 6:06:21 PM] Merchant: (to you) What bard does not enjoy a good mystery!
[11/15/2017 6:06:21 PM]
[11/15/2017 6:06:23 PM] Christ Pallid: Stanley
[11/15/2017 6:06:23 PM] Merchant: (to you) Stanley is a good sort! Dependable, older, knows which end of the spear to stick at things. He will know what to do about this mess of things, I think.
[11/15/2017 6:06:23 PM]
[11/15/2017 6:06:26 PM] Christ Pallid: ale
[11/15/2017 6:06:27 PM] Merchant: (to you) It is a poor bard who does not drink ale! Alas, I am a poor bard. Never really cared for the stuff, or what it does to you. But it does make life interesting from a remove, and I am fond of interesting lives.
[11/15/2017 6:06:27 PM]
[11/15/2017 6:06:30 PM] Christ Pallid: undead
[11/15/2017 6:06:30 PM] Merchant: (to you) The undead are not common to this region. Why they should come from the Eastreach Gap is beyond my understanding.
[11/15/2017 6:06:30 PM]
[11/15/2017 6:06:43 PM] Christ Pallid: eastreach gap
[11/15/2017 6:06:43 PM] Merchant: (to you) Eastreach Gap is a fell place, far to the north. The undead have blocked the pass for many an age. And now they are on the move.
[11/15/2017 6:06:43 PM]
[11/15/2017 6:06:51 PM] Christ Pallid: massacre
[11/15/2017 6:06:51 PM] Merchant: (to you) Yes, it is a terribly tragic tale. The undead flowing out of the Eastreach Gap, flowing like a poison river to be met by the flower of Ardoris' might, all ending in tragedy. I am composing an epic poem about it which, in performance, should be merely six hours long.
[11/15/2017 6:06:51 PM]
[11/15/2017 6:06:56 PM] Christ Pallid: six hours
[11/15/2017 6:06:56 PM] Merchant: (to you) There are many heroes of the Bridge to chronicle, Christ Pallid. All of them must be remembered!
[11/15/2017 6:06:56 PM]
[11/15/2017 6:07:04 PM] Christ Pallid: help
[11/15/2017 6:07:04 PM] Merchant: (to you) Ardoris, the City of Love... or it would be if their rulers would ever speak with one another. Ardoris is south along the road. I suggest you contact the Priestess in eastern Ardoris, for she may help you on your quest... and besides, we don't really understand what has happened here... the Priestess should know!
[11/15/2017 6:07:04 PM]
[11/15/2017 6:07:23 PM] Christ Pallid: ardoris
[11/15/2017 6:07:23 PM] Merchant: (to you) Ardoris, the City of Love... or it would be if their rulers would ever speak with one another. Ardoris is south along the road. I suggest you contact the Priestess in eastern Ardoris, for she may help you on your quest... and besides, we don't really understand what has happened here... the Priestess should know!
[11/15/2017 6:07:23 PM]
[11/15/2017 6:07:26 PM] Christ Pallid: job
[11/15/2017 6:07:26 PM] Merchant: (to you) I am a bard!
[11/15/2017 6:07:26 PM]
[11/15/2017 6:07:32 PM] Christ Pallid: Goodbye
[11/15/2017 6:07:32 PM] Merchant: (to you) And to you a good day!

 

We just recently logged this as a new issue. The "Merchant" bug. It is happening to other NPCs across various scenes.
Thank you for letting us know
