It's backwards with a few words written rightways.

Heres a sentence, from it. So maybe it will become clear.

Which means that whoever the hell mystery writer is asking himself about if the man is a lopper. Which means he's either curdled milk or cut something off. This was on the page about the executioner...it probably would have helped if I said that...

"Goblins? Little green things with a pitiable  amount of intelligence but happen to breed like rabbits? Direct me to their lair and I'm sure I and my associates can put an end to this problem."

Ask where the goblins are and then go to the inn and alert anyone gathered there.

From the trouble they apparently cause for professionals, Fleshwalkers sound like they might be to fierce for us to fight now, but we could still run into them in other travels. It is best to ask about them now. "I take that these fleshwalkers are undead. Can they be killed the same way as normal creatures, or does it take something special to get rid of them?"

You know, I was thinking of setting up a chatroom for this, becuase talking to an npc shouldn't take a turn, but it does and it's a little unfair...but becuase of time zones and stuff this probably isn't a very good idea...what do you guys think?
This is probably a stupid idea...

Only the initiation a conversation should count as an action, like I greet the knight, but once you have his attention you should be able to talk to him as long as he's within earshot or you end the conversation, or have to make a speech skill check.  After that you should be able to have an entire conversation while others are performing actions depending on how long they would take.

Speech should be a free action as it were, skill checks within conversations being swift actions, and all other actions standard.

He should be able to perform 2 swift actions for every standard.

edit- listening to a long story should be a swift action per paragraph.

"Yeah, that's the plan. Of course, my group will probably start out on something a bit less menacing than those fleshwalkers. I hear there is a bounty out on some nearby goblins.
So when you say they return to 'their city', does that mean a crippled fleshwalker will always seek the same location? I can think of some uses for a container of ash that is attracted to a specific location, provided that it wouldn't attract intact fleshwalkers or something."
