== The Hill Giant Trader ==
Enquiring about the Hill Giant Trader specifically in Port Arden to try and discover if anything was out of the ordinary for them and when they last arrived, if they tend to stop on the way to the Port.
[...he's one of my finest customers here at the Blue Serpent Inn. Comes in and orders the same thing every time; Salted Sea Biscuits, Oceanic Oyster Stew, two Sailor's Pies, seven Saltwater Ales and then a Mermaid's Grog to top it off. Fine gentleman he is, he stays here when he visits. Of course no rooms big enough, but we've made a big fitting for him in the stables where he stays free of charge after his meal. Not to mention the produce he brings in. The finest herbs in Port Arden i'd dare say..!]
[...he's oft down here in the docks, peddling his wares and seeing what bargains he can get his hands on before they make it to the traders. He's often asking around for Samerian traders, but those are few and far between. Seems to have a penchant for the exotic, though last time, now I think of it... I saw him speaking to an exotic trader, one of them potion makers. Looked like they talked for a good time and exchanged some coin before parting ways. Couldn't tell you what he bought, mind...]
[...ah good old Hugl. Might raise a few brows in some settlements, but he's never caused any trouble for the Knights of Port Arden. A top man and friendly to a fault. I remember this one time where we spoke about our families and how they were, and I'd mentioned that my son had picked up an illness. Told him what he'd been upto in the days leading up and about his fever and what not, he pulls out some herbs, which he called 'Hyancith Nectar' and said to brew in some tea. Two days later and the boy is right as rain. Didn't charge me a copper. Everything is all right with Hugl isn't it..?] 
Enquiring about the Hill giant trader in Guc Mor to discover a description and if anything was out of the ordinary before they left.
[...oh you mean Hugl? Top man, good giant, good lad. An eye for a good deal and those few words he does speak used largely for bartering or assessing goods! Certainly keeps the coffers flowing in the settlement. We'd be lost without him... wait... he's missing? I thought he was just away on trade. Come to think of it, it has been a long old while now...]
[...well, he's about 16ft tall, give or take. Big white beard. Always wearing the same orange tunic, something about the colour of fire and joy. One of the few here that favour another over All-Father. Lots of trappings and bits and bobs he's collected hanging from his belt. Oh and he always wears a skull cap. More hear on his chin than head I would think...]
[...I don't know where he is, or where he went. But tell him he owes me two goats. I paid for them goats, and I want them goats. I shouldn't have to wait an entire moon for for my favourite meal...]
[...before his last leave, he said there was a fine deal to be made at an apothecary in Port Arden. Said they were looking for rare ingredients and Hugl had plenty. Never said what it was. But if he made it to Port Arden, then he'd certainly have gone there. Didn't speak the name of no shop though...]
