Oh, by Ylldra’s blessing, a new face!
(alt) By the Eternal Flame, a new face!
Welcome to Rolggi’s Shop of Wonders and Wonderment! How can I help you!
(ALT) You should stop by my stall later, Rolggi’s Shop of Wonders and Wonderment!
Where did you get the name for your store?
You know how they say junk is treasure? Well, that’s what I sell.
The amazing but ordinary! The obvious gem! The generic wonders of the world!
So you sell trash, is what you’re telling me.
Not just any trash – the most spellbinding, magnificent, astonishing trash you’ve ever laid your hands on!
It’s a shopowner’s creed. One man’s junk is another man’s treasure.
A shopowner’s greed? I’m not greedy. I just like gold, and gold likes me. Fifty years we’ve been together, and I loved her from the start.
It sounds like you’re trying to polish a pile of pig waste.
What? Pig paste? No, you got it wrong, my friend. It’s horses they use to make paste, not pigs. In any case it’s five septims a bottle.
Well said. There are gems to be found even in the filthiest of hovels.
Huh, what? Were you saying something? Sorry, I dozed off there for a second.
What do you do in your free time?
Free time? What’s that? I’ve never heard those two words used in the same sentence.
When I’m not working the shop, I help out Akshei on the farm.
That’s right, I may be old and crippled, but I’m still working two jobs! Hahaha, they’ll never put me out to pasture!
How did you get into the trade?
Well, I worked as a peddler all my life, traveling from the big cities to the small ones.
But walking’s hard on my knees, plus I have my granddaughter to take care of.
So now I just peddle from here.
Tell me about your granddaughter.
Dastri? Oh, she’s a good child. We lost her mother about five ago, and I decided to take her in.
But as far as she knows, her parents are still out there, doing great things.
She was too young to remember what really happened, and I’m so old I’ll see them soon enough.
So in a way, it works out.
How did you come to the island?
What? How do you have fun on an island? Why, you buy my stuff, that’s how!
(alt) Why have a shop here?
(alt) What? I have a shot ear? My ears work just fine, thank you!
What can you tell me about the shrine?
The shrine? Oh yes, the shrine to Yllda. She’s the mother of this entire village.
You should stop by her tomb on the hill and pay your respects.
(alt) Oh yes, the Temple of the Eternal Flame. It’s the source of all life.
You should head up the mountain and pay your respects.
What do you know about this sword?
That looks like something that belongs in my shop! Sell it to me, and it will!
What have you got for sale?
Every wonder in this world, and possibly the next one!
Take a look.
Are you here to buy wonders, or wonderment? Well, we have both!
Everything’s for sale. Well, except for me. Slavery’s illegal, you know.
What? You want to order 43 pairs of woman’s shoes? I don’t think I can fill an order that big. Why don’t you look at what I have here.
Random Hellos
I lost my hearing in one ear in a brawl. So be sure to say your order clearly, and in my good ear.
It’s the right one, I think. Your right. No, you’re right, it’s your left. Yeah, that‘s right.
What’s that? Did you say something?
What did you say? You want to buy some belts? Well sure, we got belts. I think.
Have you met the Elder? Some say he’s a tad eccentric, but so long as his gold is good, he can be whatever he wants.
I think that Wood Elf boy has the brain rot. You ever had that? The brain rot?
It’s a nasty disease. Makes you forget things. Like having the brain rot.
(alt) I think that Boneskin boy at the inn has the brain rot.
Congratulations on your new home! If you need anything to help decorate it, come by my store.
Yes?
Hm?
What is it?
How can I help you?
All right then.
Do come back.
Make sure to come back and buy more stuff.
Rolggi/Inska Scene
Hey, Inska! Why don’t you shed that clunky armor for a nice comfortable tunic!
Good idea. And when I die from a stab wound, how about I let the pirates rob your store first.
Oh! In that case, never mind! Carry on!
Scene with Dastri
Grandda, what should we do when momma and papa come back?
Hm, what do you mean?
I was thinking we could throw them a big party! There’d be sweetrolls and cakes and music and…
Oh yes, we can do that. As soon as they return.
Scene with farmer
Next season I’d like to grow some scallions but I’m not sure the soil is right for it.
What? You need a Potion of the Stallion? I’m sorry, but this is a family store. We don’t sell that kind of smut here.
Scene with Neimos
You should be teaching your kid a better trade.
What’s that? You want to be a kid for a day?
I SAID, …ah, forget it. You can’t hear a damn thing anyway. Stupid old man.
How dare you! Respect your elders.
Oh, so now you can hear me.
No, but I can read a few lips.
Main Quest 3 scene
(angry mob gathers outside Elder’s house)
This is an outrage! I demand to know what’s happened to my sister!
And poor Dastri…she’s just a child for Ylldra’s sake!
Everyone calm down. I have diagnosed the problem and I am working on a solution as we speak.
Diagnosed the problem? My husband is a ghost you fool!
Yes, he has a clear case of uh…ghostus maledictus, which is magical term and obviously not something I made up.
Now run along, little villagers. This will all be taken care of in a day or two, you have my word.
Ghost commentary
Dastri’s so young, and lost so much. It should’ve been me that turned.
Main Quest 4 Scene
Scene
Do you think they’ll be all right, Grandda?
Of course child! You don’t think they’d go to all the trouble of saving you and not come back, do you?
Oh good! Then I’m going to wait here until they do!
Well, you made it! I told Dastri you would. I’m glad you didn’t make me a liar.
Yes, because that’s what’s important here. Your integrity.
What’s that? My pedigree? I’ll have you know I come from good stock, and so does Dastri!
I’m so happy she’s back. You did a good thing, saving this village.
And don’t try to deny your part in it. I’m old enough to know that good for nothing Elder didn’t lift a finger.
Of course I made it. And by the way, you’re welcome.
What’s that you say? My bell’s come? Well it’s about time, I ordered that ages ago!
Now I have reason to use it too, thanks to you. Dastri can use it whenever she needs me.
I’m glad Dastri’s back to normal.
Huh? Dastri’s sack is full of floral? Well yes, she sells flowers, it damn well should be!
But I’m just glad she’s back and selling things again! We’re all one big happy family, thanks to you!
It seems you’re in good spirits.
What did you say? I’m a wood spirit? No, Dastri was the spirit. I’m as healthy as an ox!
But now we’re both healthy! And it’s all thanks to you.
Your granddaughter was better off dead.
What’s that? My grandfather had his own letter head? Well, that’s news to me, and pointless news at that. Still, it’d be nice to show to Dastri.
What happened while I was gone?
Well, I’m not sure. One moment Dastri was a ghost, and the next, she wasn’t. It was a miracle, really!
But you know what really happened, I’m sure.
I saw you leave the island, and by the time you came back, everything was fixed!
(if Dastri’s ghost not revived)
I remember it now. The whole family fell ill. Dastri died months after her parents.
We buried her next to their grave. The three of them.
Akshei too. He died in Winterhold. I remember coming to this island to get away from those memories.
But then he was here, like nothing had ever happened. And I forgot the fact he was ever gone.
Hellos if child dead
Dastri’s dead. It was the same illness that took her parents. But I don’t regret coming here. I take solace in the fact she got to live a little longer.
Hello
It’s so good to have Dastri back. And not to mention, half my customers!
Ah, it’s you, the town hero!
You’re a big deal around here. But that doesn’t mean you get a discount. Just more friendly service.
Scene with Akshei
What kind of toys do you sell here?
Boys? I don’t sell boys! Besides, isn’t your wife pregnant? Why in Ylldra’s name would you want to buy one?
Not boys, Rolggi. Toys. And she isn’t pregnant yet. But if we’re lucky, I’d like to have something for the crib.
Toys? Well, that’s different. Maybe Dastri has something I can sell you.
Well, I’d like something that will last long, but doesn’t have small pieces or things you can swallow.
What about an axe? You can’t swallow an axe! Not without some effort.
Tynne Scenes
So Rolggi, how’s life as a shopkeeper? Is it sufficiently tedious?
What do you mean?
Well, if your life is too exciting, you may aspire to advance your station.
Too dull, and well, we all know how you shopkeepers like to slit your wrists.
The only thing I slash is my prices! Now hurry up and buy something before I add you to that list!
Tynne scenes
Elder Tynne! It’s always a pleasure to have you in my shop! I assure you, everything you buy will come with a discount.
There’s no need for that Rolggi, I’m just another customer.
Nonsense! You’re a profit! You’ve made us all rich!
I think you’re slightly confused. They say I’m a prophet, which is different from making one.
Tell that to my coin purse, Elder.
(These below are from a different project since vapored)
Aldryn scenes 2
Are you getting your wares on time, Rolggi?
Your store is the fulcrum for the entire marketplace, and delays can disrupt the entire economy.
What? Wares? Yes, we have wares, Councilor. You’re welcome to browse them.
Although lately I’ve heard bandits have been sacking the caravans. It’s bad for business.
Well, then those caravans will have to hire better mercenaries. We can’t be responsible for their security.
We have enough problems dealing with Falmer attacks.
Zannfar scenes
Oh, Councilor Zannfar! Come, browse my goods. I’d give you a discount, but times are tough. You understand.
I can’t even give myself a discount, and I get everything for free!
Don’t worry. Once we secure the upper ruins, you’ll be overstocked with goods.
Everything we need to survive can be found in this ruin.
Okay, but if you see any forks and spoons, can you not melt them down this time? Some of us don’t like eating with our hands.
