Check talking to: say "[The noun] doesn't reply."

Instead of talking to Molax:
	If the player carries Map:
		say "'I guess I will be off now, Molax.' You say. [paragraph break] 'Don't be foolish. You will not last one hour on that journey.' Molax scoffs. [paragraph break] 'I guess we'll see then, won't we?' You snark back. [paragraph break] 'Doubtful.' Molax goes back to work on setting up his shop.";
	Otherwise:
		say "'Good day, Molax.' You comment. [paragraph break] 'Good day.' He replies dryly and refusing to look up at you. [paragraph break] 'Did you hear the news of the Jarl?' You ask. [paragraph break] 'Mghhh' He groans. [paragraph break] Molax doesn't seem interested in talking right now."

He was met with an outpour of angry cries and yelps coming from us city folk.' He replies. [paragraph break] 'It was awful what he did - making a fool of his family like that and throwing his own daughter and son into the dungeon.' [paragraph break] 'I agree. Say,' He got a sudden twinkle in his eyes as though an idea had formed. 'You and I should sneak down to the docks to speak to the son and daughter through the bars in the castle walls.' [paragraph break] You feel intrigued by the idea. 'I like the way you think, Yalof.' [paragraph break] 'That's great! I'll be here all day. Come speak to me when you're ready to leave.'"
	
Instead of talking to Joe:
	If player carries Map:
		say "'Thank you for this gift, Joe.' [paragraph break] Joe stares back at you blankly, as though he has no idea what you are talking about.";

The Magic Stone is an object in Eaglefell. "There is no one else out right now." The description is "The stone appears to have some magical quality to it. It glows in a pearlescent rainbow of colors.

Instead of asking Yalof about "the stone":

Instead of asking Molax about "the stone":

[paragraph break] 'Joe gave it to me.' You reply. [paragraph break] 'Interesting... This is something called The Magic Stone. It gives the wielder immense power if taken to the top of Mount Morgon.

[paragraph break] 'Molax tells me that this stone can be a powerful tool if taken there. I wish to go on this journey.' You reply. [paragraph break] 'I will lend you this map, but with warning. I have made that journey once before and was scarred greatly. It is not for the faint of heart.' He expresses with heartfelt concern. 'Here, it is in this drawer if you'd like to retrieve it.' [paragraph break] Yalof points to a drawer on his cart which seems openable for you."
