As you walk down the main street in Hlint, you see the following tattered note attached to the bulletin board in the Wild Surge Inn, flittering in the draft from the door...
"Greetings fair gentles of Hlint and the surrounding area, I, Aldo Swiift, amateur procurer of mundane what-nots and forgettables would like to sell my various potents and plunder, accumulated over the last couple of months. My safe deposit box at the bank is full, my pack is overflowing, and my poor ox, Bess, cannot carry any more weight.
As a fledgling bowyer, barters involving items required for the craft of woodworking would also be welcome. A list of the items on hand, as well as items that I am willing (and more importantly... able) to "acquire" is listed below.
I can deliver as far as my skills will allow me to travel with some reasonable likelihood of avoiding the Soul Mother.
Should you be interested in any of the following, or should you have any of the wanted items available, please send word in person, by messenger (human or animal), or attach your own note beneath this one. I am of Elven descent, and you will know me by my golden skin, long black hair, and pointy ears. I am frequently in Hlint, but if you cannot find me, I have met many fine travelers in Hlint that may be able to get a message to me."
Thank you,
Aldo Swiift

If I can decipher the script on them I will post which scrolls they are.)

- Some other things that I can't remember right now, I will update this list later.
- My inventory changes constantly, as I throw things away or sell them to the pawnbroker
in order to make room for things of higher value.
Items that Aldo needs or wants-
- Bags of Hickory Sawdust
- Hickory Scrolls (raw hickory paper)
- Hickory Parchment (cooked hickory paper)

- Spider silks for bowstrings
- Healing potions of all strengths
(I can provide skeleton knuckles for you to make potions for me, as well as an equal amount for your own use, in exchange for your time in crafting potions for me if you want)
- An Iron Large Mace
- An Iron Short Sword or similar weapon
- I have heard of fine jewelry that would make me more nimble, or stronger
- Anything else a young Elven ranger could use
// This is my first post, I hope it is in proper form. Unfortunately, I simply don't have enough playing time to kill Orcs and chop logs all evening in order to make 30 bags of sawdust, convert that to 4 or 5 sheets of paper, and successfully cook those to make 1 sheet of sandpaper, which I promptly destroy on my first attempt to make anything, including more sawdust *laughs* So please msg here or in-game if you are interested in anything I have, or if you would like to barter. Thanks!
