Laila is the owner and operator of "Laila's Tavern" in the town of Bethany, where the player and his party are staying.

She's helped Arthur and his guild a great deal. She's provided Zenovia and Jacques lodging and give the guild discounts on food and drinks.

She finds a curious owl with a letter addressed to Arthur. She relays it to him.

She's kindhearted, yet stern with her customers. She has to be, in order to keep her rowdy customers under control. Her patrons lover her, yet fear to draw her ire. Truly, a strong woman.

    PLAYER SPEAKS TO LAILA BEHIND THE COUNTER


    LAILA

    Ah, there you are.


    ARTHUR

    You called for me?


    LAILA

    Yes, I did.


    LAILA

    Step outside with me, for a moment.


    Laila turns to the bartender


    LAILA

    Keep an eye on the place for me! I’ll only be a minute.


    BARTENDER

    Yes, ma’am.


    LAILA

    Let’s go, it’s right outside.


    Laila walks out from behind the counter and Arthur follows her outside of the tavern’s entrance.











    Location: Ext. of Laila’s Tavern – (Bethany, Aedland)


    Laila and Arthur emerge from the door. There is a white owl in front of them.


    LAILA

    There it is.


    ARTHUR

    It’s an owl.


    LAILA

    Not just any owl.


    LAILA

    We don’t get many messenger ravens in these parts. 


    LAILA

    But, occasionally some important folks visit the place and they arrive here.


    LAILA

    Though, I must say, I’ve never seen a messenger owl before.


    ARTHUR

    A messenger owl?


    LAILA

    That’s right. Look.


    Laila steps in front of the owl.


    LAILA

    It’s got a pouch on it, meant for holding scrolls.


    LAILA

    I heard it’s cooing from inside. Nearly thought I’d gone mad.



    LAILA

    Night hasn’t fallen yet and there are no owls in these parts.


    LAILA

    When I checked, it had this scroll inside the pouch.


    LAILA

    It’s addressed to Arthur of Leviathan. That’s your guild’s name, isn’t it?


    ARTHUR

    Addressed to me? Have you read it?


    LAILA

    I read enough to know that it seemed important. And, that there’s no signature.


    LAILA

    So, we don’t know who it’s from.


    LAILA

    Here, have a look.


    Laila walks in front of Arthur.


    A scroll GUI pops open, showing the contents of the letter.


    Once the player scrolls to the bottom and presses back:


    ARTHUR

    This letter has to be a joke…


    LAILA

    What does it say?



    ARTHUR

    It outlines a quest that is tantamount to suicide.


    ARTHUR

    It also speaks of buried treasure prepared as payment.



    LAILA

    Does this person know you?



    ARTHUR

    I haven’t the faintest idea who wrote this…


    ARTHUR

    But, I do know that it is madness to do as it says.



    LAILA

    Well, whoever it is, they must know of you.


    LAILA

    Would they ask you to do something you could not do?



    ARTHUR

    To even attempt something like this would be foolish.




    LAILA

    Why not check it out, at least?


    LAILA

    You and your guild have been toiling in this town for weeks, trying to earn money.


    LAILA

    This might be worth giving some thought.



    ARTHUR

    … *hmmm* (ARTHUR MUSES ON THIS)


    LAILA

    Well, I leave it to your judgement.


    LAILA

    Naturally, I won’t speak a word of this.



    LAILA

    Best of luck!


    Laila returns inside of the tavern. Arthur watches her leave and turns forward again.

  • Laila walks down the stairs.



    LAILA

    It looks like you’ll be paying off your bar tabs, then?


    ARTHUR

    Thanks for your help.



    PENELOPE

    We appreciate you closing early, so as to avoid… unwanted attention.


    ARTHUR

    Without you, we’d have no place to store this much money…


    LAILA

    Think nothing of it.


    LAILA

    Pay your tabs, and we’ll be even.


    LAILA

    Zenovia’s in particular has grown rather large…



    Arthur faces Zenovia.



    ARTHUR

    Has it now?


    ZENOVIA

    What? I was going to tell you.



    ZENOVIA

    With all this lovely coin, it isn’t an issue now, is it?



    ARTHUR

    This gold isn’t ours. At least, not yet.



    LAILA

    Well, I’ll leave you to discuss your business.


    LAILA

    Be sure that bird doesn’t leave it’s droppings in here!


    OWL

    *coo*


    Laila walks back upstairs. Arthur watches her go.

  • LAILA

    Ah, there you are!


    LAILA

    Zenovia and Jacques left quite early today.


    LAILA

    I’d thought you would have left by now.


    ARTHUR

    We’ll be setting out soon.


    LAILA

    I wish you good fortune.


    – END OF DIALOGUE –



    IF PLAYER SPEAKS TO HER AGAIN



    LAILA

    I’ll be here babysitting these two drunkards.


    LAILA

    To come in so early in the morn… I ought to start denying them service…


    LAILA

    It’d be for their own good…
