p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%;"I transport to the Barbarian Village, where I find my way to Dororan, the elf. I ask him why he looks so sad, and he shares with me that he is in love with a barbarian girl named Gudrun. He goes on to say that because elves and barbarians share different customs, he is struggling to express his interest. A guy who needs help finding love? I'll do it! I offer to help. Dororan tells me that I can assist by collecting some items that he will need to give to his lady. A man named Jeffrey in the town of Edgeville has a golden ring. He will give it to me in exchange for a love poem. Dororan gives me the poem and I head off./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%;"In Edgeville, I find Jeffrey smelting metal. I exchange the poem for the ring and head back to Dororan./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%;"Although I thought this was the end, I was wrong…not even close! Dororan wants the ring engraved (why he didn't tell me this in the first place, I'll never know). Dororan sends me off with a chisel and the ring. I head back to Jeffrey and engrave the ring with, "Gudrun the fair, Gudrun the fiery." Wow, dramatic!/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%;"Now it's up to me to find Gudrun and give her the ring. I basically have to let her know that "someone" is interested in her, like a secret admirer thing. I think she likes the ring, because she tells me to go find her dad, who apparently is the chief of her tribe./p
p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%;"As soon as I meet dear old dad I figure he won't be into any kind of elf-match for his daughter…he definitely is the barbarian type. I head back to Dororan with the bad news. His solution is to write a poem praising the chief (Gunnar). I deliver the poem, "Gunnar's Ground", to Gudrun, and tell her to go read it to her dad. In the meantime, I have to try to console Dororan, who is now doubting his plan will work. This is one lovesick elf!/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%;"All of this waiting has paid off! Gunnar likes the poem, Gudrun and Dororan finally can be together. My work here is done!/p
