Dialogue

 * "Ah, hello friend! I've found myself in a bit of a pickle; perhaps you can help. I've been invited to a feast at the palace, and it is customary to bring a gift for The Emperor, but being caught a bit off guard by this honor, I've found myself with nothing to give! Rather than insult The Emperor by showing up empty handed, I was hoping to fashion something suitable out of his Imperial Highness' favorite material: young Naga Hides. Unfortunately, my beastly companion here has a panic attack any time I step foot towards that cave. Snakes and darkness are two of his biggest fears, so I'm stuck here while Su just laughs at us. If you wouldn't mind, I'd be most grateful if you ventured in there yourself and acquired 3 Naga Hides for me. You'll receive the usual payment for such assistance, of course."

Trivia

 * Nicholas's name is probably a reference to the gift-giving Saint Nicholas.
 * Nicholas always travels with his trusty partner, Professor Yakkington.
 * According to John Hargrove, Nicholas' "...list of possible haunts at launch was 137, and given 1 a week, that's 137 weeks (or ~2.6 years) of Nicholas' travels before he even considers going to the same place twice." It is yet unknown if this list will be extended. (source)
 * Week 137 will begin on November 28th, 2011. If no additional locations are added before then, and Nicholas is allowed to restart his cycle, his first repeat visit will be on December 5th, 2011.
