''For the love of ...''
Note this is very much like one small favor in that you have to do a lot of walking, running, or teleing around.
Start by talking to Ned. You noticed that he is a bit down, but he just shrugs it off. He asks you to do him a favor
, at which you say to your self, ''Oh, no, not another one of those''. He needs to have the yarn taking to the lady in the Viking island (you've already discovered his secret) and needs to get the rope back from her, but he doesn't feel up to going there.
When you do the trade with her, you find that she still has no clue why he is doing the trades. Its great for her, but he is losing money off it. You tell her that he is trading adventurers ropes for the yarn, so he is not losing any money. She is pleased.
As you leave, one of the townsmen stops you, perhaps the guard or the boatman, it doesn't matter so it can be who ever is easier. He asks if that was the rope for yarn trade, and you tell him it was. He (or she) tells you that Ned really has it hard. You ask him what he means and he tells you that ned is madly in love with her, but she has no clue. She is a traditional Viking woman and is expecting a suitor to approach her in the Viking manner.
When you get back to Ned, he admits that that is true. He then tells you a story of how he had attempted to approach her, but not knowing mainland ways she didn't even see him doing so. So he had researched the different manners of approaching a woman of that Viking standing. He had gotten her fathers approval and only need to get her attention. many of the ways involved combat with fierce monsters, and while Ned was brave and strong, he was a man of the sea, not land, thus his knowledge of combat involved chasing off pirates with cannons, not monsters with swords.
He had finally come up with a solution that involved sailing. He would gain things from all over the world, treasures that a Viking would appreciate. frankly my dear, I couldn't give a dam. never had a river to build one on.
