## Greetings
## Greeting 0
### Basic
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.

## 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!
### Favor
^PCRank ^VBND_MerchantNumber, would you be interested in assisting me with a
favor?

### Another Favor
This is dialog that initializes the second delivery quest.
> This updates the journal with ClerksFavor2 entry 10
## Favors (Quests)
Favors are quests given by the clerk. For the early ranks, there are two ways to
improve rank: trading, and favors. Each favor involves delivering a package to
an existing merchant on Vvardenfell, receiving cash-on-delivery, naturally.
The first three favors will rank the player up to unlocking the personalized
merchant, who also offers quests. However, the clerk will continue to offer some
additional delivery quests, based on rank.
