I’ll bet you wonder how this town manages to stay safe with all the trouble going on out in the desert. Well, I can tell you that it’s got nothing to do with the local town guards… they’re all in the palace for some reason. Jerhyn hired me and my mercenaries to help keep the peace around here. We’re not cheap, but we’re the best this wasteland has to offer.

Elzix
Hmm… You look like a sturdy adventurer. You know, I used to be quite the scoundrel in my day. I led the fiercest group of bandits who ever terrorized these sands! Nowadays, I run this here Inn and pretty much stay out of trouble. My days of adventuring are behind me.

Ah… You must be one of the new heroes who’ve come to rid our city of evil. Under any other circumstances, I’d be surprised to see one of your kind in the city. But lately… Oh, never mind all that… You know, I used to be quite the scoundrel in my day. I led the fiercest group of bandits who ever terrorized these sands! Nowadays, I run this here Inn and pretty much stay out of trouble. My days of adventuring are behind me.

Warriv
Now that Andariel is dead, I can return and outfit the Rogues properly. Once I’ve made some trades here, I’ll be free to head back to their Monastery. Let me know if you want to travel along.

Atma
You’ll forgive me if I seem upset. I’ve suffered a loss recently, but that’s not your problem. It’s a relief to see some proper warriors come through here. My name is Atma. I run the tavern here in Lut Gholein.

Geglash
Bah! I don’t know why you people keep pestering me. Greiz seems to have this place locked down nice and tight. Not that I couldn’t have done the same! I’ve proven my valor in combat plenty of times.

Hey, you’re a Barbarian, aren’t ya? Ferocious as the wild beasts of the north, that’s what they say. I suppose you’ve come to help save this city. You needn’t bother. Greiz seems to have this place locked down nice and tight. Not that I couldn’t have done the same! I’ve proven my valor in combat plenty of times.

Meshif
Greetings. I’m Meshif, captain of this ship here. I make port runs around the Twin Seas and occasionally out to Kingsport in Westmarch. I haven’t sailed anywhere lately, though… Jerhyn has ordered me to stay docked here in case of emergency.

Greetings, Amazon. I haven’t seen one of your kind in many years…. It’s good to know that warriors of your caliber are protecting this city. I’m Meshif, captain of this ship here. I make port runs around the Twin Seas and occasionally out to Kingsport in Westmarch. I haven’t sailed anywhere lately, though… Jerhyn has ordered me to stay docked here in case of emergency.

Jerhyn
Greetings, honored traveler. I am Jerhyn, Lord of Lut Gholein, and I bid you welcome to my fair port-city. I’m glad to know that once again caravans are free to travel through the Western Pass. For some time now, we have been under siege by an evil power that I cannot identify. Strange… It all began when a Dark Wanderer came this way, looking for the Tomb of Tal Rasha. No one knows exactly where Tal Rasha, Keeper of Baal, is entombed, but it is certain to be far out in the desert. Now, my people whisper tales of the dead rising from their tombs and horrible creatures lurking amongst the moonlit dunes. Even I have witnessed things which I cannot explain. I’ve ordered the port closed and all trade ships moored until I am sure that my city is safe. Atma, the tavernkeeper, has an important mission for you. Go see her immediately. You’ll find her on the other side of town. Now, I must return to the palace. I apologize, but I can’t invite you in. Things are… rather a mess right now.

For trade in magic and the like, see Drognan or Lysander. Drognan is the wisest man I know – without equal in magic and ancient lore. Poor Lysander is nearly deaf, but he’s a reliable potion chemist. For travel back west, see Warriv, whom you already know. Our own Fara is a fine and honest armorer, and she can heal wounds as well. Elzix is the Innkeeper and may also have some items to trade. Greiz, the mercenary captain I hired to secure the gates of Lut Gholein, keeps order in town, as well. There are others here, too. I’m sure you’ll meet most of them. Just look around…

Things are getting worse by the hour. I know everything looks fine, but trust me, it isn’t!

Fara
I know much about the ancient religions. I was trained as a Paladin of Zakarum in the Eastern Kurast temple many years ago.

Welcome, brother Paladin. I am Fara. I was once a devout champion of Zakarum.

Lysander
How do I know I can trust you? Hmm? You may be as shifty as that pack rat, Elzix, who runs the Inn. But, if you need a potion, though, I suppose I can make you one… for a price, of course.

Potions are delicate mixtures. They’re just as liable to go off in your face as anything.

Drognan
I’ve heard that you are responsible for banishing Andariel back to the Burning Hells. I’m impressed, stranger. That couldn’t have been easy. My name is Drognan and I know what you’re up against, my friend. You ought to look over my inventory of items for trade.

Welcome, young Sorceress, to Lut Gholein. I hope your skills are a match for the horrors that lie beyond the city’s walls. A mage of your limited experience may find the evil too great to withstand alone. My name is Drognan and I know what you’re up against, my friend. You ought to look over my inventory of items for trade.
