"I notice you have 47.3 feet of rope and two grappling hooks in your pack, which was made by Bleggins and Sons, Leatherworkers of Meat Street, according to the label inside. Call me Observant, but I'd say that one of the hooks is going rusty and won't hold more than 62lb 3oz.

A two-legged creature came this way and went back again. We must be on our guard lest it return."Weapons were drawn and commented upon. It seemed that rapiers were in that year. "Nice blade. Where did you get yours?""General issue. When I signed up. Yours is unusual. Don't often see ones with mermaids on them.""Took it from a ship's captain. He wasn't needing it any more.""Hush!
