Ishaq the Philosopher

Lore & Dialog
Ishaq the Philosopher says, "Was it 'red sky at night, reedshark's delight'? Or 'black sky at night'? Black makes rather more sense, but ... I know I wrote it down somewhere."

Ishaq the Philosopher tells you, "Well, hello there, stranger! What brings you to this forsaken corner of Osteth? I myself came for some peace and quiet!" Ishaq the Philosopher tells you, "Oh, no, I didn't mean it that way! You are welcome here! In fact, I could use your help ..." Ishaq sighs loudly. Ishaq the Philosopher tells you, "I'm having some trouble remembering where I left the key to my storage chest. My memory isn't so good these days, I'm afraid. And all my notes are in that chest!" Ishaq looks at you hopefully. Ishaq the Philosopher tells you, "Until I find the key, I can't continue on my great work, Volume 12 of "The Peculiar Nature and Behavior of Derethian Fauna with Especial Emphasis on Cross-World Speciation"." Ishaq the Philosopher tells you, "Tell you what! If you can find the key for me, I'll let you read my manuscript! How about that? ... No? ... Well, I understand - not everyone is a scholar, I suppose. Hmm ... I do have a nice mace I would be happy to give you. I don't have much use for it myself anymore." Ishaq the Philosopher tells you, "Do we have a deal? Good! I believe I left the key in my cellar - you can find it behind my house. But please - don't go prying into my belongings. I am trusting you in my house; I trust that you will repay me with your good behavior."
