Jayne of HG reports: "Feeling sorry for the Town crier, (and based on the advice of my patron, Shakra) got this response":

Town Crier tells you, "Without something hot to drink to keep me warm..."
You give Town Crier Hot Chocolate.
Town Crier tells you, "Thank you! You are sooo nice!"

Town Crier tells you, "Hey, did you hear about the snowmen? Apparently they built a little town up in the mountains. You know what would make this hot chocolate even better? Marshmallows. Yup, sure wish I had some."

The Nezrite of MT adds this fun tidbit: "The guard at Lytlethorpe keep is named "Chandler Hammett" and when you tune him out, you start thinking like a gumshoe out of a detective novel. You know, the kind of novel that Raymond Chandler or Dashiell Hammett wrote. I love it when Turbine throws those little tweaks in there (like the Candeth Keep vendor named Lecor Busier after Le Corbusier, the famed architect). I also love the site, Maggie!"
