You see a large wolf-like creature, with a white front paw.
He looks at you nervously, but relaxes somewhat upon seeing your collar.

"Good day, sir.  We do not get many humans in these parts.

 Do you require something?"

"Our thread is made from the bark of the Yrmwat bush.  Those are the plants
 that grow on my farmland.
 
 When they are ripe, we gather the harvest, and strip the bark off so it can
 be spun into thread."

"It can be done by mouth, but the job is hard work..
 so it is much easier to use magic.
 
 Centuries ago the spell was given to my ancestors
 by Aa'Ruuf, and it has been passed down from father
 to son ever since."

[page="spin"]

"The spinning wheel is of an old design, given to us
 by Aa'Ruuff before he turned against our people.

 It does not seem well suited to our kind, for we
 have to use a little spell to thread it.
 
 But after that, it can be run continuously without
 any special magic.."

You see a wolf-like creature.  One of his paws is white.
Suddenly he notices you and flees in terror.

"Aaaah!!  Spare my life, I beg you!"
