You say, 'Hail, Gruklikh the Apothecary'

Pokes his head up from the pages of a dusty old book and peers at you for a moment through rheumy eyes. 'Ehh? Someone come to see old Gruklikh have they? Did a sentry sprain his leg and come to beg lonely little me for some ointment? Or, no, let me see - one of the girls is having trouble laying her eyes and wants some herbs to spare herself the pains of new life? Not here to chat, no - no more time in the day for that, hmm? Cowering in fear simply takes longer than it did twenty years ago, isn't that right?' Gruklikh squints at you, still uncertain of the shape he's seeing.

You say, 'Er, no. I'm new here, and-'

Gruklikh the Apothecary tells you, 'Oh! Ah, pardon, pardon, I'm - I didn't know who it was - no one's come to visit me lately, and my vision has seen better days. I hope you won't take offense.'

You say, 'It's alright.'

Gruklikh the Apothecary tells you, 'Yes, thank you, excuse my rudeness. Ah, you must be the one everyone has been whispering about in the streets. They call me Gruklikh, and I'm the only one around here who still knows how to work with herbs. A pleasure to make your acquiantance.'

You say, 'Likewise.'

Gruklikh the Apothecary tells you, 'Well now, what can old Gruklikh do for you, young master?'

You say, 'Are you the one that forged the knife from the components I gave Grupruk?'

Gruklikh the Apothecary tells you, 'Indeed I am. I must thank you for gathering those materials - I haven't had the priviledge of forging a weapon of myth in quite some time. Ha!'

You say, 'Weapon of myth?'

Gruklikh the Apothecary tells you, 'Indeed. The Myth of Gruthluk is likely our oldest surviving tradition. And I'm quite in favor of keeping tradition alive. Forging a Knife of Gruthluk does that quite nicely: it's a powerful symbol of our heritage, and some are inclined to believe the myths on account of the knife-making process described in one of them alone. Made properly, a Knife of Gruthluk really is a phenomenal hunting knife.'

You say, 'How do you make it?'

Gruklikh the Apothecary tells you, 'In the Myth, Gruthluk the Hero forges the knife from the great hell-beasts' carcases in five minutes with his bare hands alone, but I'm quite happy to manage with my workshop, a smithy hammer, six hours, and some arcane fire. Ha! If you're truly interested in our myths, you should go and speak with Galka some time. He and his wife know more about our history than anyone else alive today - and most of what we know about our history comes from the myths.'
