- Herschel: "Come on in. Don’t be shy. I’m Herschel. Let me tell you the marvelous things I have today."
- Freelancer: "Could you lift your visor, Herschel? Hard to trust a merchant I can’t look in the eye."
- Herschel: "Eyes."
- Freelancer: "Sorry?"
- Herschel: "Eyeszes. I currently have more than I should—than I originally. Visor down is best. Trust me. Now, what can I show you?"
- Options branch from here.
Extra eyes? Tell me more
- Freelancer: "Wait… How does someone grow extra eyes?"
- Herschel: "Shaper accident. Occupational hazard. At last count, I had five. However, I’ve recently developed a blinking sensation on the back of my head… It’s a little embarrassing, truth be told. A hit to the ‘ol reputation."
- Freelancer: "Your reputation as…?"
- Herschel: "As a seller of unique and fabulous, high-quality, Arcanist-authenticated goods. So, tell me, what can I pou you in today? New helmet? Weapon? Slacks?"
Tell me about the creature
- Freelancer: "Who’s your friend here? Is he for sale?"
- Kit (noises): "Vrwrr-gzu?"
- Herschel: "His name is Kit, and he’s not for sale. He is, in fact, my boss. Er, wasmy boss. Is. Was. My, uh, boss. Actually my mentor really, who has, through the awesome mysteries of the Anthem, have been turned into… that. A squishy… smelly… thing."
- Freelancer: "That’s terrible."
- Herschel: "We were experimenting with a relic… and, blammo! When the smoke cleared, I was finally able to focus my extra eyes, there was Kit. Except… well, you can see."
- Kit (noises): "Rwror.Rrg."
- Herschel: "Hopefully it’s temporary. Although it has been a while…"
- Freelancer: "So this little guy here is really your boss. You sure?"
- Herschel: "His notebook was intact, and he was perched upon it."
- There is a choice between Solid point and You’re fooling yourself
Solid point
- Freelancer: "Oh. I’m sorry."
- Herschel: "Sadly, we weren’t very close… although I held him in high regard. He could be a rather cruel master."
- Freelancer: "That’s too bad."
- Herschel: "Yes, thank you. But he did save my life once so… Down to business! I have many unique and fantastic items. Arcanist-authenticated. Special, like you. Come, come, come. Have a lookI’ll walk you through it."
You’re fooling yourself:
- Freelancer: "Not sure that sounds right."
- Herschel: "What do you mean?"
- Freelancer: "I mean you could probably ditch that slimy blob outside the fort and go your separate ways."
- Herschel: "I’m shocked. Shocked! It’s true what they say about Freelancers."
- Freelancer: "Which part?"
- Herschel: "All of it! Right then. Down to business. I’ve got unique and fantastic items. Arcanist authenticated. Uniquely for you and your cold heart. Have a look I’ll walk you through it.
