Re: Many Meetings!
In reply to Gandalf The Grey (msg # 66):
The merchant made Beli distrust him by mentioning the old place of his clan;
it was very suspicious that a trader would bring up Moria, unless he was after some of its treasures.
Beli's demeanor changed immediately from joyful and open to guarded and reticent.
Beli answered: "You bring up Moria, mister Brego.
I think you want to know more about it, yes?
I think you want to get information about where to find the entrance and where to find the dwarven properties.
I think someone has been talking to you, someone with greedy plans.
I know I want to know the name of that person, yes, I'm sure of it.
Tell me the name, dear Brego, for you want to have good relations with our people, yes?
So tell me the name of the one who talked about Moria, tell it quickly,
tell me what he said, tell me where I can find him, tell me what weapons he was carrying,
or else our relationship will come to naught."
