# Clerk 119

Clerk 119 (`vbnd_OtherworldlyClerk_{1-6}`) is the basic and unfair summonable
store. Initially only a dialog box, when the player gets access to the Trade
House, they can speak with the actual NPC behind the words.

**Variables:**

- `^VBND_MerchantNumber` is a randomly-generated Short stored in a global
  variable representing the player character's membership number in the
  organization.
- `^PCRank` the PC's faction rank in the speaker's faction

## Greeting 0

These greetings are used for notifying the player when the Clerk improves. With
every rank up, the actual NPC is swapped out for a new one, allowing the dialog
checks to make use of the "TalkedToPC" value being 0 again. Every first-time
dialog will either be notification that the player's "credit rating" has
improved (ie., the clerk has more gold for buying items), or that the clerk's
inventory has improved.

There is also a greeting at this level for the first delivery quest.

### TalkedToPC = 0

Congratulations ^PCRank ^VBND_MerchantNumber, due to your continued patronage I
am excited to share that your credit rating with the Otherworldly Trade Caravan
has improved!

Clerk 119, and have been assigned to assist you with our basic trade services.
While our initial offering may be limited, you can expand our inventory by
establishing a trade contract with a local merchant. If you have any questions,
they are likely answered within your ledger, but I may be able to offer
additional assistance with some Caravan details.

### vbnd_OtherworldlyClerk_3 && TalkedToPC = 0

Congratulations, ^PCRank ^VBND_MerchantNumber. Your loyalty once again increases
your credit limit with us. As you are now a partner, I have negotiated with the
suppliers of our existing trade contracts to provide higher quality goods. You
can expect to see them arrive and restock according to their initially
established schedule. Some of the old stock is still available, while we
transition to new services. Thank you for your patience as we restock, and for
your continued patronage!

### vbnd_OtherworldlyClerk_6 && TalkedToPC = 0

It is a great honor, ^PCRank ^VBND_MerchantNumber. In recognition of your
loyalty, the Otherworldly Trade Caravan has improved your credit limit to the
maximum allowable through our basic trade services. In addition, I have

## Topics

### Clerk

Yes, clerks are the primary means by which our customers interact with the
Caravan, responsible for the day-to-day business in the Trade Houses and through
remote ledgers. We clerks prefer to remain anonymous, referring to each other by
our numbers, so as to keep things professional and impersonal. The Otherworldly
Trade Caravan prides itself on quality interactions, and that begins with us
clerks!
