The Vagrant Merchant

''A mysterious individual we met when we first arrived on the continent of Ti'lah, a distance away from Raptured Falls. He and his stagecoach cart sat, seemingly waiting for us, in the middle of the outback desert.''

''If that wasn't strange enough, there wasn't a trace of sand or dirt upon the place when we arrived. It was, and remained, pristine even when we walking around in it.''

''Upon arriving at his stagecoach in the rocky outback of Ti'lah, we found a chest with a label saying 'For the Wanderers' written in perfect cursive. Upon opening the strange chest, we found four packages, each one addressed to one of us by name.''

 * Luna received two Ice Draughts and a vial of blood
 * Phina got a note that said 'Pointed Question will lead the way
 * I got two whetstones

''After which we thanked the man and went on our way, though he never once stopped singing nor acknowledged our existence. As if the day couldn't get any weirder....''
