Description

A festive tailor is a Halfling. He has a triangular face, sparkling crystal blue eyes, and freckled cheeks. His flaxen hair is short and very curly. He has tanned skin and a muscular build.
He is average height for a Halfling.
He appears to be mature and is in good shape.

He is holding a straw-covered ledger in his right hand.
The tailor is wearing a tight linen shirt, a simple black belt, a large canvas sack, and some finely tailored black pants.

Interactions

Study

You've overheard others asking the tailor about a number of topics, including scarecrow, race, shape, descriptor, material, stuffing, color1, color2, shirt, pants, choose, status, finish, and random.

Without a Scarecrow

If you ask the tailor about CHOOSE, STATUS, FINISH, or RANDOM without a simple scarecrow in hand:

The tailor shakes his head. "You need one of my basic scarecrows -- I don't wish to tamper with others' work. It's free, if you keep up with it, and until we finalize customizations."

Ask Tailor about Scarecrow

The tailor beams as he exclaims, "Sure! I brought enough for everyone to have one, and maybe some to have more than one!" He hastily rummages through his canvas sack and finally produces a simple scarecrow that he hands you.

Ask Tailor about Status

A festive tailor fidgets as he shuffles through his notes. "I can't seem to find the page that matches your simple scarecrow. I'm afraid we'll need to start again."

Or, if you have started on a scarecrow:

A festive tailor cheerfully pages through his ledger and then recounts, "These are my notes so far." He holds up his ledger for you to view...

The tailor gives you a moment to review the information before saying, "We can continue whenever you're ready, and when you've finalized selections, a simple exchange of 15000 Kronars will seal the deal. I'm afraid I lack runners at this time."

After making all selections:

A festive tailor checks his notes and takes a moment to draw a quick sketch. He holds it up for you to review:

   At a quick GLANCE: a miniature <race> scarecrow stuffed with <stuffing descriptor> <stuffing type>
       A closer LOOK: Created with a <face descriptor> <face shape> face, the doll is ever ready to fulfill its purpose.  Though tied off with rough lengths of jute, the <stuffing> still peek out from the edges of the scarecrow's <shirt color> <shirt> and <pants color> <pants>.

The tailor asks, "We can certainly revisit any of the selections if you would like. Otherwise, if you agree to this design, I'll complete the work for 15000 Kronars. Is this acceptable to you?"
Roundtime: 2 sec.

Asking again quickly:

You hand the tailor the coins.
The tailor smiles cheerfully as he snatches your simple scarecrow and sets to work. Bits of jute and tiny doll-sized clothing flies as he searches for the selected combinations and meticulously assembles the scarecrow. At last, the tailor nods and hands you a miniature <race> scarecrow stuffed with <stuffing descriptor> <stuffing type>. "Everyone is so creative! It was an honor to complete this for you!"

Ask Tailor about Random

The tailor beams as he enthuses, "Oh, really? You would trust me with the selections? Let me see what I can piece together!" He rummages through his canvas sack repeatedly as he makes quick notes in his ledger.
