You say, 'Hail, Meeka Diggs'
Meeka Diggs says, 'Hello, _____ - my how you've grown! Would you perhaps care to see my cloth armor for sale?' Her eyes twinkle. 'Maybe you'd like to hear a little about the traditional halfling craft of [bagmaking]?'
You say, 'I'd love to know more about bagmaking.'
Meeka Diggs says, 'Ah yes, we're reknowned for our bags! Halflings are the travelers of the land, usually in search of fine pipeweed and a good ale.' She grins at you. 'We sew together a number of patches of [wolf fur], and some special [thread], and use a little acorn oil to keep it water-tight, all in the special Halfling Sewing Kit.'
You say, 'You use wolf fur?'
Meeka Diggs says, 'Well, you'll need to be a traveler, like me! You can sew together three tufts of dire wolf fur to make a patch of it, using an embroidering needle in your Halfling Sewing Kit. You can then sew three of those patches into a big weave! The weave is used in the bagmaking. The more you use, the bigger the bag!'
You say, 'What is the special thread?'
Meeka Diggs says, 'This is the touch of magic that makes halfling bags the finest in the world! In the special Halfling Forge, roast a little platinum thread with some special [temper]. Whatever you put in the bags becomes so light as to be almost non-existent!'
You say, 'What is the special temper?'
Meeka Diggs says, 'Oh, um..' Meeka looks a little worried, and leans towards your ear to whisper. 'You'd best ask my husband, Twippie, about that. It's a bit of a mystery, to be sure.'
You say, 'Who is Twippie?'
Meeka Diggs says, 'Twippie Diggs is my younger brother. He sells armor also. His specialty is leather armor.'
