Involvement[edit | edit source]
Act Three[edit | edit source]
Garri Orne and Drybeldiyx are southwest of the Blushing Mermaid, lamenting the sorry state of Lower City drinking fountains.
Idle banter[edit | edit source]
Drybeldiyx: Don't bother. It's broken.
- Garri Orne: This one too? This is the third fountain I've tried!
- Drybeldiyx: Fourth for me. City's going to shit.
Garri Orne: Someone should report this to the gazette.
- Drybeldiyx: If common sense can't sway them, perhaps a publicity disaster will.
- Garri Orne: Always the way - no one fixes anything unless it hurts them personally.
Drybeldiyx: Can't blame them, I suppose. They've got armies to deal with.
- Garri Orne: It's not that. It's that no politician ever went down in history for fixing the plumbing.
- Drybeldiyx: Yes, but you do go down in history if your citizens die of thirst!
