Defender of Oerth
Merin mentions the following to both Sannit and Sheldon: "I think that once this tree business is resolved, we should get serious about collecting metals, minerals, and ores. I think we should organize 'expeditions' where we spend a week or two at a time collecting stuff. And judging by our recent attempts, I think we need to branch out, and leave the piney woods, maybe hiking up into the mountains, and then later, perhaps we should look for more wet, swampy environs. Of course, we'd need to talk to Giodavi about obtaining some sort of map, so as to prevent ourselves from becoming lost. What say you both?"
Tor Questions Merin: "What will we be looking for in the swamp?!?"
Merin smiles, and says, "Well, besides the fact that a variety of iron ore called 'bog iron' can be found in wet, swampy areas, I was also hoping to come across some more big lizards. We could definitely use more reptile skins, for armor. And even for selling at a profit. Did you see the way everyone in town was complimenting our armor? It won't be long before there is a high demand for reptile skins. And I know that reptiles like two things more than anything else: sun and water. And swamps have an abundance of both, hence they are the greenest, most wet areas in all the world."
