Scenario 4: "I'll take those leggings. Just like me, they're a bit rough around the edges but full of spirit and have loads of stamina." -- Mr. Beasley of Taunton.
Scenario 5: "You druids meditate to much on the large animals like the bears and the wolves, why not relax a little and let me teach you about the birds and the bees instead?" -- Mr. Kempster of Workingham
The first scenarios were:
A debonair Undead warlock walks into the inn and glides across the room. According to the gossip you've heard about
her, she's a bit on the cool side, even for a corpse. What would you say to her to try to warm her heart enough so
that she'd go out to dinner with you?
A rather handsome Human Paladin is sitting over by the bar drowning his sorrows. You've overheard that he and his
long-time sweetheart have parted company. What would you say to him to try to take his mind off her and put it on
you?
The second scenarios were:
A troll priest is walking down the road with a dejected air. You overhear that she's a little down on her luck right
now with finding people to adventure with. What would you say to her to convince her to join your group?
A gnomish warrior is sitting near you complaining about how no one believes he can amount to anything due to his
small stature. What would you say to convince him you thought otherwise?
The third scenarios were:
An Orcish hunter is sitting at a cookfire she's built, feeding her pet. You've overheard that she doesn't think much
of other people and prefers the company of silent animals. What would you say to her to persuade her that people,
especially yourself, aren't so bad?
A cute Night-Elf rogue bungles an attempt to lighten your purse. What would you say to him to take the pressure off
and convince him that there are better things to steal?
The fourth scenarios were:
A Tauren shaman has been trying to sell a not-completely-skillfully-made set of leather leggings. You can tell that
she's really upset by what people are saying about her crafting. What would you say to cheer her up?
A Dwarf priest is having trouble getting people to listen to what he has to say about the Light seriously. He's
considering giving up and taking a vow of silence. What would you say to him to convince him that you're listening?
The fifth scenarios were:
You spot a Night-Elf druid meditating. What would you say to her to convince her to take a break from Nature and have
dinner with you?
You see a troll rogue trying to work a kink out of his shoulder and looking around for something to eat. What would
you say to help him whet his appetite?
