40d:Outpost liaison
An outpost liaison is a diplomat sent by the Mountainhomes. They arrive together with the dwarven caravan sometime during the autumn, escorted by an axedwarf.
The outpost liaison will offer to let you order specific goods from the Mountainhomes that will be sent with the caravan the next autumn and announce what goods will be in high demand then, being more valuable for export. They will only talk with your expedition leader; if your leader is dead, then you must assign a new one using the n screen before the liaison arrives or she will leave without a meeting.
To conduct a meeting with the liaison, your expedition leader must be available. If he is busy, the liaison will remain in the fortress for a long time and can become insane. To avoid this, after trading with the caravan, uncheck any job assignment the expedition leader has via the j screen until he will accept conduct meeting as job. The meeting can consist of up to 9 screens and may be interrupted, your leader even walking away from it. Dont think you are done until the liason confirms it and says farewell!
