Any updates?

{Gekitsu Sako} is your grain thief. I saw with my own eyes.
It's good we have a lead, but I assume you've found evidence to back it up?
I do. He left this in the grainpile.
{Gekitsu} ... It was one of our own, then? This is truly a sad day for our city ... I suppose I'll go and let a guard know.
That's no trouble of yours, though. Here is your payment. Thank you for your diligent work, {viatiru}.

Evidence? I saw him, and I have my word.
Requires a Low check of Speech
The conversation forks on the graph-variable check:
If False
Your word means nothing here, yet, {vemani}. {Gekitsu} has worked for me for years. You'll need more than accusations.
Come back with proof ...
The conversation ends
If True
Very well. I'll take you at your word ...
{Gekitsu} ... he's worked for me for years. I suppose I should tell a guard. He didn't just steal from me after all ... he stole from everyone's ration.
{Gekitsu} left this in the grainpile. *Reveal the fish hook in your hand.*
I saw {Gekitsu Sako} steal the grain. *Hand {Saya} the ganura.* I took this right out of his pocket.
I see ... this is a grain bag used by many of the {ganura} farmers ... I can't believe he would do this.
{Gekitsu} ... I suppose I should tell a guard. He didn't just steal from me after all ... he stole from everyone's ration ...

It was {Gekitsu Sako}. He admitted it upon being confronted.
[Lie.] It was some transient elf ... When I confronted him, he lashed out at me and then ran off into the forest.
Requires a High check of Speech
What! I apologize for putting you in harm's way. I suppose that solves the mystery ... here, take your pay.
Hopefully, this is the end of the thievery.
Thank you, {viatiru}.

Not yet ...
Come back and talk to me when you have some evidence.
The conversation ends
I had other questions.
Like what?

Have you gone to the grainery yet?

Greetings, {viatiru}!
Only while Against The Grain is unstarted
*A tense {karu} stops you abruptly.* Excuse me {viatiru}. Have you, by chance, seen anyone sneaking around the {grainery}?
- Advances Against The Grain
I haven't. Why do you ask?
Someone's been taking {ganura} out of the {grainery} at night. Supplies are already being No ... I don't think so. I'm open to help, but I'm not sure more outsiders skulking around.rationed out as it is.
The conversation ends
Has someone been stealing from your establishment?
Unfortunately, yes. Someone's been taking {ganura} out of the {grainery} at night. Supplies are already being rationed out as it is.
The conversation ends
*Nervously try to recall any mishaps at a grainery.* No? No. I am certain, no.
*The {karu's} eyes narrow, adding to his already suspicious contanence.* Hm. Well ...
<b>Someone's<b> been taking {ganura} out of the {grainery} at night. We barely have enough to keep up with the kitchen and {viataru} requests ...
This will ruin me.
The conversation ends
Not yet, but perhaps a stakeout is in order.
Requires a Medium check of Stealth
Perhaps you're right ...
The conversation forks on what the game checks, in this order:
Only when standing with Garkai is at least Neutral
I suppose you've earned a good enough reputation around here. If you think you can find out who's responsible for these happenings, by all means, do what you need to.
- Advances Against The Grain
The conversation ends
Otherwise
But to trust a {vemani} ... Still. I feel it is the only way. The guards seem to have more significant issues to worry about, and I'm no lawman.
So, that being said ... if you truly believe you can handle this, try your methods. I just beg you don't make me look like a fool.
No, and I don't care.
I'll let you be on your way, then. If you, by chance, happen to come across anything passively or decide you need work, I'm sure this problem isn't sorting itself out anytime soon.

*A tense {karu} stops you abruptly.* You! {Vemani}! Have you seen anyone sneaking around the {grainery}?
What the player can raise (5)
The game offers every topic whose requirement is met, in the order it prefers them.
Is there anything I can do to help?
The conversation forks on the graph-variable check:
If False
Hm. *The elf is clearly wary of asking an outsider.* I suppose if you could apprehend this criminal, or at least identify them, I could make it worth your while. I've been saving some coin, and it'd unquestionably earn you a portion of the daily {ganura} rations.
Please report back to me with findings.

The conversation ends
If True
Yes, I suppose you've proven yourself useful and worthy of trust for at least tasks of this magnitude.
Please report back to me with findings.

The conversation ends
Do you have any clue who it might be?
The conversation forks on the graph-variable check:
If False
I suspect it was one of your little {vemani} friends, most likely some sort of transient staying at the {inn} over in the {Tsuki's} bit of {Garkai}.
The conversation ends
If True
*The elf squints one eye and furrows his brow in thought.* I can't say for certain, of course, but it's after the fisherman have docked all the vessels and brought in the nets for the night.
So I estimate the crime has to occur at midnight at the earliest.

Where's the {grainery}?
- Changes a variable of something the compendium does not publish
It's over in the {Sako} region, down the road from the farms and docks ... if you hit that crazy old hermit's hut, you've gone too far.
The conversation ends
Could you remind me where the {grainery} is?
The conversation forks on the graph-variable check:
If False
You have forgotten ... / Ugh. The memory of dwarves ...

Old hermit?
That old {Sand Elf} - lives out by the edge of town. She moved down to the wetlands from who-knows-where, and she's been trying to push her {vemani} medicine on us ever since.

Only when the player stands LessThan Neutral with the speaker
I'll be off, then.
The graph connects this choice to nothing, so the conversation stops here.

I'll be off, then. I'll let you know if I find anything.
