They'd started preparing their forge, but said they were interested in the cave where I'd once slain a giant spider.

When I showed it to them, they seemed to like it so much that they said they wanted to use it as their home.

Since it was perishable, I handed it over directly from my Item Box.

Production of smoked goods in Santanka was going well, and the village was growing, too.

When there's industry and work, people gather.
