→ Ask Heikya if she knows anything about the 1000 gold deal.
>Heikya Shugs. “ Usually tha people with the jobs show up and put ‘em on tha board. I’m Outa the adventuring buis’ness so I dun usually ask much.”
→ Ask Ano what the elf root is for, and the best way to deal with slimes. Ask about Raunchy Research.
>Curiosity piqued about quite a few subjects, Mana returns to Ano and Ellie.
She first asks the duo about the Uses of Elf Root.
“Elf root? It’s useful for a variety of things! It can be us used as a compress and antiseptic for a wound, It can be used for throat lozenges or can be taken in very small quantities to settle stomachs. Most importantly though, it’s key ingredient in many potions! Cant make a potion that makes you ignore all pain without a little bit of elf root neurotoxin!” Ano says with his usual excited bouncing.
Mana asks about an easy way to deal with Slimes without having to kill them. Ellie pipes in cheerily “That’s actually an easy one. Yeh just have to salt the little lads and lasses and they’ll crystalize to protect’ emselves. Then yeh just take them where yeh want them to be and leave them; next time water falls from the sky, they’ll be right as rain.” The Lapinette chuckles to herself.
Lastly, Mana leans in real close to Ano and whispers her questions about the research into dealing with her Heats. Ano whispers back “Like I said, I need to observe you in the midst of the mating act!”
“With anyone?” Mana continues, still being quiet.
“Well they have to have a set of male genitals, but otherwise. yes! Also: why are we whispering?
“I’d rather not have to involve extra people in this line of research..” Mana whispers back Sheepishly.
“You mean you’re worried about Ellie hearing? We should have spoke in another room then! She has very large ears!”
“Indeed I do!” Ellie pipes in, cheerily.
→ Visit the tailoress to see her designs before we make our purchase.Also, ask the Seamstress what use the armor would have in combat.
>Thoroughly embarrassed, Mana leaves Ano’s tower and heads to the seamstress.
When she arrives the, she is met with an extremely confusing sight. Behind the botique counter is not the woman from before but another nekomata… one that is the spitting image of Mana.
The other Mana is happy to see Mana walk in and quickly pulls out a book from below the counter. She flips the pages and puts it down on the counter.
“I finished thossse sketchesss! come take a look!”
Mana cautiously walks over to her doppleganger and looks down at the book.

>”You like them, Misss?”
Mana nods still confused.
You know my prices, and all of those are the same cost.
Mana still confused, manages to stutter out a question about if it will be useful as armor.
“Yesss. More ssso than what you’re already wearing. You’re wearing jussst normal flax cloth now. Even sssoft drake leather isss more protective than it…. However…. I doubt you’re interesssted since you’re looking for protection, but I made thessse asss well.”

> “lesss utility if you’re after protection.”
Mana nods and thanks her doppleganger. She leaves the shop quite confused, still.
→ If you bump into a Knoll on the way, test her new knowledge to figure out who the best breeding pair is.
> As informative has Ano’s lesson was about Knolls, It did not prepare her to judge the ‘quality’ of the Knolls in question. Many of the books he showed her has hand drawn pictures, and not very good ones. In retro-spect she remembers many of the drawings from the books looking similar. She comes to the conclusion all of the images where made by the perpetually excited wizard.
→ Take "A farmer in need" and visit to check out the problem.
>Mana leaves town and heads to the farm in question.
She knocks at the farmhouse door and is quickly greeted by an elderly lady. A few “What a pretty kitty” ‘s later and explanation why she’s there, a younger man comes to the door and apologizes for his Mother.
“She’s sweet, but she has always had a bad memory.” He explains. “The issue is with our sheep. We’ve been shearing sheep since i was very young, and really, we’ve never had a problem with them. As of late though, we’ve been having a lot of trouble. Something has been coming to the farm at night. and disturbing the sheep. Luckily, we haven’t lost any. We need someone to come and deal with whatever it is before we do.” (‘
