Trader Groot:
I see that you are a follower of Ascalon. Seeing a strong warrior like you brings back memories. Like Ascalon, I was once a member of the Steel Rose Mercenaries. When I was young, I studied herbology and first aid in the temple and used these skills to become a medic for the troop. Of course, occasionally I also wielded a spear and joined the battle.
These days I am retired and run a small shop. Ascalon still comes around and asks me to make medicine and antidotes for the village guards from time to time.
"I have come to assist you in making antidotes"
