Questions

• ASK THORKIM ABOUT PIGLET

Farmer Thorkim points over the gate he guards and says, "See them there lumps o' mud? They ain't no mud at all!" He flashes a wide smile. "Them pigs and piglets are wallowin' about and hiding. They's knowin' somethings going on and tryin' not ter draw no attention to themselves." "Pa Thorkim has an arrangement with the Bacon Man, see. But them pigs been more amorous than usual, and we almost gots more bacon than we know what to do with." He concludes, "Iffen ye bring me one of them shiney coins that've been popular all o'sudden, I might be convinced to look another way while ye sneak in and grab one for yerself. S'that or they're off to the market, in one form or another."

• ASK THORKIM ABOUT <BACON/MAN>

Farmer Thorkim responds, "Pa Thorkim met the Bacon Man years ago. Pa ain't so good at farmin', but ain't none better fer raising piggies. They gots 'em an arrangement, and the Bacon Man stops by real regular to get some of the older ones." "I was curious once about that bacon milk he sells, and pa bought me a glass." Farmer Thorkim shakes his head and makes a face. "It ain't fer me. Some things just ain't meant to be mixed. Somehow, though, that Bacon Man sells it by the barrel full along with all his other, erm, treats."

• ASK THORKIM ABOUT Grooba

Farmer Thorkim looks mortified and leans in to whispers, "I ain't never met her now, ye hear? I ain't for knowin' anyone but the Bacon Man who ever has, but the rumors say she runs some sort of house of ill repute, iffen ye catch my meaning." He straightens and continues, "I ain't for knowin' why the Bacon Man got himself into business with her sorts, but she sure did give him some shiney coins! If ye bring me one, I'll let you inside the pen to try and grab a piggie."

• ASK THORKIM ABOUT COIN

(without coin)

(with coin)

Farmer Thorkim's eyes light up as he gazes at your proffered coin. He clears his throat and glances around before whispering, "If yer sure 'bout partin' with that coin, I'm mighty interested in it.

Finding a Pig

You want to wait until you see the following messaging and then SEARCH.

You notice a muddy piglet waddling around the area.

SEARCH (success): You search around the area and find a burly saddleback peccary! The saddleback peccary scampers toward you and oinks happily, quickly deciding you're its new owner. As you reach for the peccary, it scurries into a soft woven sack with a golden piglet charm, which is the peccary's home. You pick them both up, claiming your new pet.
