Chapter 3 follows Torneko Taloon, a humble merchant with grand dreams of opening his own shop and finding legendary treasures. Torneko is unique among the Chosen; his strength lies not in combat prowess but in his business acumen and ability to find rare items. This chapter is less about direct combat and more about earning gold, acquiring goods, and navigating the world of commerce. Torneko often has unpredictable actions in battle, sometimes finding items or calling for help.
You'll start in Lakanaba, working for a local shopkeeper. Your initial tasks involve simple errands and accumulating enough gold to buy your own shop. This chapter introduces the concept of trading and selling items for profit, which will be important for funding your future adventures. Pay attention to what items sell for more in different towns. Torneko's journey is a charming change of pace from the previous combat-focused chapters.
