    dialogue: |
      *polishes glass nervously* My cousin Durgin was supposed to
      arrive three days ago with a shipment from the mountain holds.
      Dwarven stout, quality ore, fine tools. He's never late.
      *voice drops* Something's happened on the mountain road.
      I'm too old to go myself, but I'll pay well for news of him.

    dialogue: |
      *frowns at empty shelves* My shipment of dwarven ore never
      arrived. Durgin Stonefoot was bringing it - he's Grom's cousin.
      Without that ore, I can't forge anything worth selling.
      The mountain road can be dangerous... would you look into it?

    *relief floods his face* Durgin is alive? Thank the ancestors!
    *takes the recovered goods* And you brought back what you could.
    You've done more than I could ask. Here's your payment, and...
    *pulls out a small flask* ...my personal reserve. Drink it in
    good health, friend.

  npc_blacksmith_hilda: |
    *examines the recovered ore* This will do nicely. Thank you
    for finding out what happened. Poor Durgin - I hope he recovers.
    You've earned both coin and my gratitude.
