[March]

You search through the crate which appears to be more like a lost and found box than some repository of worldly information.
You find; a bark book "umbr luake", a velum leaflet "Elf, by Kimboldink the mad", a leatherbound partial deck of cards, a broken arrow, and a cracked glass cone.

[Superdorf]

Kimboldink sounds like an interesting feller. Let's see what he has to say.
Er, be very careful not to damage the book. It's probably pretty old by now.

You very carefully read the velum leaflet.
The Leaflet is decorated with pictures of elves and humans dancing and drinking and the text:

Elf
by Kimboldink the mad

Elfin women are but legend, don't get the wrong impression.
Lusty bards they are ensnaring, but hear them weep they are despairing.
Fair maidens of the living wall, deceitful liars one and all.

Feminine of face and voluptuous racking, but elfin meat they are a packing.
Awkward stares they are a laughing, must be you they are chaffing.
Keep this fate from befalling you, hear this tale and say you knew.
Enthralling smiles in a bar, best steer clear or you they will scar.
Save you pride and stay in heaven, than try and ride a lass that is elfin.

You don't know why but you think you've seen this leaflet before.

[Superdorf]

...Huh.

Try the bark book. As with the leaflet, use extreme caution when handling it.

[March]

You try to read the bark book "umbr luark; It's a handwritten elfan diary of some kind, it contains countless words you have not a clue about though so it might as well be unreadable. The back has a tree with a heart drawn around it.

[Superdorf]

Well, let's have a look at the yard then. Cleaning is something to do, at least.

[March]

You go outside; there are 2 piles of covered boxes and about 12 loose boxes scattered around the yard which is some sort of hardy wild grass clearing out front of Makdt's shop.

[Superdorf]

We... probably shouldn't disturb any of this until we know what's what, actually.
Stand in the sunlight. Enjoy it. This is a new experience for us.

You stand in the sunlight, the lack of skin burning is nice... but you don't feel any warmth from the light, there is no joy from the shining dot far off in the sky.

"Ho there undead chap, might you give us a hand with this burden, so I might see the sweet lady Makdt even a second sooner than destiny calls forth?" What can only be described as a walking box with a long red mustache on top slowly waddling down the trail from the road calls out for your assistance.

[Superdorf]

Huh.
Head over to the back door and call in: "VISITOR"

[March]

You go to the shop door and call out for Makdt, "VISITOR", "Deal with it, I'm... deal with it." Makdt replays from far inside.

ead to the box with the mustache and say “how can I help?”

[March]

You go to the box with the mustache and ask it, “How can I help?”

"Ho, hoisting this parcel of precious trade commodities into thine arms would be well enough to aid me in my journey of sisyphean tragedy." the waddling box proclaims in an overly fanciful manner unbefit for the situation.
