[Sigrid turns on the feed and immediately continues working, having a number of different maps and books open and sketching at something furiously.]

I need help.

I've got a very official presentation I have to make to the Council in Treun in just six days and I need someone who can make this.

[She picks up the paper she's been drawing on to show...]

[She sets it down again and looks into the locket with frantic and pleading eyes, like a wild thing whose sole source of energy has long since been caffeine mixed with adrenaline.]

I didn't know, I thought just telling them we'd give them the road would be enough, but they want sketches now. They want schematics and contracts for builders and probably budgets. We don't even have roads where I come from!

Does anybody know anything about building roads? Especially through mountains?

[Her sentence gives slightly out at the end. She groans and buries her face in her folded arms as if giving the quest up as completely mad and hopeless.]

There's a guy named Tarrlok, he was a city councilman before he came here, and most of the roads in and out of the city at home had to go through the mountains. He'll at least be able to bullshit something that looks legitimate until you're able to come up with actual plans.

[ RUDE AND HELPFUL ]

...Tarrlok knows about roads? He's head of my mission.

[THIS IS THE BEST NEWS. She is going to scream for joy if this is true.]

Oh, thank you! I must be completely mad, oh, thank you for telling me! I'll find him in his room.

[ he doesn't really get what the deal is, it's just tarrlok, and the guy's a total ew, but... whatever floats your boat, girl. ]

Yeah.
