Elder Keef:
You've done well, my friend. You have brought me 100 bat fangs. Magnificent! I can send these to Hardin's Academy by this week's wagon. I will give you this ring for your work on behalf of the Bronze Key Guild. This token signifies that our Guild trusts you.
Actually, I had a cup of tea with Hardin few days ago. Contrary to the rumors, he was a well-mannered, pleasant person. Having a business relationship with such a person is actually investing in the future. We never know when we'll be put into a tight spot, just like when we were attacked by Orcs before ... We need to have few solid allies as a simple precaution, don't you think?
