Roslynne

Roslynne is a Breton who can be found during a random encounter on the roads of Blackwood. She is surrounded by squirrels.

Dialogue

When speaking to her, she talks of the squirrels and a secret they know:

"Don't let that one take more than his share. I don't care if he has to go a long way to get to the treasure, he's not getting another bite!"

"I hear ya! Noisy little chits. These ones are always going on about this great treasure they hid. Think they have to shout since my ears aren't what they used to be, but I can hear just fine."

"These cheeky creatures think I can't tell them apart, but I know who's eaten. Can't let one of them hog all the food, not when they're so excited about the treasure they've stuck in that new hiding place of theirs."

Tell me about the squirrels' treasure.

"Knew that would get your attention, I'm not the sort of woman who would lie you know. Can't tell you where it is, not with all these little ones running around. They don't want it to be too easy for you.
I can give you a hint though."

Is there a landmark?

"There's a rock nearby. Look, I never said the hints would be helpful!"

What are the nearby points of interest?

"They say it's a place of buried ruins and lost hopes. And also stone arches. I've asked and there's nothing poetic about the arches. The squirrels say they're not even that good for climbing on."

What's the terrain like?

"It's hilly. What, you were expecting something more useful from a squirrel?"

The squirrels' treasure

After you have asked for a clue:

Why are you sharing this with me?

"I'm tired of the squirrels' annoying chatter. Still, these little creatures have been my loyal companions for a long time, I'd like to see someone else grow to respect their usefulness like I have."

Notes

• Despite being a named NPC, her dialogue in the chat window was originally labeled as "Explorer". This could be explained by the fact that her dialogue lines and voice are re-used for another random encounter while traveling the roads of Blackwood, the one of Explorer and a Giant Toad.
• The "treasure" might refer to an unmarked location roughly between Welke ruins and The Dread Cellar entrance. It contains skeleton, some sacks and an unsent letter, surrounded by squirrels.
