A Mysterious Figure Approaches You

A Mysterious Figure Approaches You is the unofficial name for when a Bilebroker approaches you in a random encounter. The only one who can approach Sal is Ximmon, if Ximmon is somehow dead the Event will no longer be able to happen.

Script #1 (Need an Edge)
(A mysterious figure approaches you.)

Ximmon: Greetings, Grifter.

Ximmon: You look like you could use an edge.

Sal: I've got two already, friend.

Ximmon: I don't under-

Ximmon: Oh.

Ximmon: Your reffering to blades, while I'm referring to specially imported goods from the Roaloch.

Ximmon: Are you interested?

* Ask about the price*

Sal: That's... suspiciously cheap.

Sal: Whats the deal?

Ximmon: You may take the deal or leave it.

Ximmon: My reasons are my own.

*Buy Item Card*

Sal: Yeah, I'll take that.

Ximmon: Thank you. Please use it responsibly.

*Decline the offer*

Script #2 (A rare traveler)
(A mysterious figure approaches you.)

Ximmon: Greetings, grifter.

Ximmon: It's rare I meet a fellow traveler in these parts.

Sal: Really? I feel like I'm constantly running into people.

Ximmon: Then you're fortunate. The isolation has made it difficult to complete my work

Ximmon: Im a chemist; I've been experimenting with new ingredients, but I've only been able to test them on myself.

Ximmon: Would you like to try one, and contribute your own experiences to the data?

(The stranger shows you a row of vials, their contents bubbling against the glass)

*Pick the Green Vile*

Sal: What does the green one do?

Ximmon: It rebalances the humors and flushes the system of toxins

Sal: Makes sense, Green is natural so it must be healthy.

Ximmon: That's the idea. Although it took a surprising amount of ingredients to get it that color.

Sal: Huh. not bad.

*Pick the Blue Vile*

(Not added yet)

*Pick the Orange Vile*

Sal: I'll give the orange one a try.

Ximmon: Excellent choice

Ximmon: It's a fermentation of ambergris and sundevil's spade. It invigorates the vitals and revitalizes the vigors.

Sal: Huh. Nice.

Sal: Phew! Invigorated is right!

*Pick the swirly purple Vial*

Sal: That one's interesting. Looks like the sky after a storm.

Ximmon: Hmm, and just as unpredictable. This one has different results each time—

Ximmon: But discovery favors the willing, I always say.

Sal: Uh—

Ximmon: Well, go on! Drink!

Sal: Hmm.

Outro

(Ximmon quickly jots down a note after watching your reaction)

Ximmon: Thank you for your participation. I hope we meet again soon-

Ximmon: A follow up can only improve on the data.

Sal: Hey, sure. Hey, this was safe right?

Ximmon: I'm fairly confident! But, of course only time will truly tell.

(The mysterious figure leaves as silently as he arrived. after a moment he disappears from view)

Sal: Huh.
