The Silvermule courier is an NPC that delivers messages for a living in Icemule Trace. Her job is the same as that performed by new adventurers asking the town clerk for work.

Description

>look courier
You see one of the couriers for Silvermule Gaming Hall.  She is a tall and long-legged giantman dressed in tight-wrapped skins.  A snug, well-fitted jerkin of soft elk hide dyed a deep blue with the image of a rampant silver mule on front and back covers her torso.  A leather pouch tucked in at her hip is used to carry messages and Gaming Hall plaques here and there about town.  Her raven black hair is pulled back and tied to keep it from her face and there is a rosy glow to her cheeks from her exertions.

Questions

>ask runner about work
The courier stops a moment and looks you over, "Hmm, you look pretty new around here, the boss likes to give newcomers a hand.  Why don't you go over to Clovertooth Hall and ask the Trace Bondsman about a job.  Sometimes we need extra messengers."  She smiles at you and prepares to head off on her run.

>ask courier about quest
The courier pauses a moment and says, "Well, I don't really have time for adventures myself.  It's pretty dangerous out in the wilds.  But if you're looking to make some money and you don't mind honest labor, go see the Trace Bondsman over in Clovertooth Hall.  Sometimes he has more messages than messengers and he might be able to use you.

Messaging

Looking at all the people hurrying by, the courier mutters loudly enough for you to overhear her, "It's sure been busy of late, I wish that lazy bondsman would hire some temporary help."  She shrugs to herself and goes off about her business.

Pausing a moment, the courier takes a small water flask from her pouch and takes a swallow or two.  Looking refreshed, she replaces it and prepares to dash off once more.

Looking very tired, the courier pauses a moment to wipe her forehead with the back of her hand and catch her breath.

The Silvermule courier pauses a moment to rummage through her message pouch.

The Silvermule courier dusts herself, taking a momentary rest.

A Silvermule courier just arrived on her way to deliver a message.

The courier heads east in a determined manner.

The emissary stops the courier and has a quiet word with her.  A folded message is handed over to the courier and she tucks it in her pouch for security. (when in the same room as a massive ice giant emissary)

The courier looks at you and smiles.  "Say, you look new around here", she says, "We've been looking for someone to help out with the extra messages we've had of late.  If you're not afraid of hard work and would like to earn some honest silvers, go see the Trace Bondsman and ask him about a job".

Smiling at you again, she waves as she prepares to go back to her rounds.  You absently tap your pockets while thinking of coins and the things extra ones could buy you.

Interaction Messaging

Interaction messaging is taken from the view of an Erithian non-citizen of Icemule.

>greet courier
