This person looks quite busy. I think I shouldn't interrupt...
You think you're better than us
I have never said anything like that...
So you think I'm stronger than you?
Yes.
I do not like to be mocked.
Well right?
Well
I certainly am!
I'll wipe that smirk right off your face!
It is an honor to be a part of your fine company of men.
I want to see your skills.
Very well.
Done.
I think we need to part our ways.
Thank you.
I wish to defer the appointment of a lord
As you wish
As you wish
{s1} is not being managed by anyone. Whom shall I put in charge?
{s11}. {s1}
{reg0?{s65}:Please {s65}}
{s66}
You should appoint no one yet
Hmmm. All right
Hmmm. All right
Hello there. We are polishing off our combat skills here with a bit of sparring practice.You look like you could use a bit of training. Why don't you join us just ask and I will do my best to fill you in.
What do you want to practice?
Tell me what kind of practice you want.
I want to practice attacking.
I want to practice blocking with my weapon.
Let's do some sparring practice.
[Leave]
All right. There are four principle directions for attacking. These are overhead swing left swing and thrust. Now I will tell you which direction to attack from and you must try to do the correct attack.^^(Move your mouse while you press the left mouse button to specify attack direction. For example to execute an overhead attack move the mouse up at the instant you press the left mouse button.The icons on your screen will help you do the correct action.)
Let's begin then. I am ready.
Actually I want to do something else.
Unlike a shield you'll deflect overhead attacks but you can still be hit by side swings or thrust attacks.^^(You must press and hold down the right mouse button to block.)
I'll now attack you with different types of strokes you'll need to manually choose block direction. This is much more challenging but makes the game much more interesting.This practice can be very useful if you use manual blocking.)
Let's begin then. I am ready.
Actually I want to do something else.
Sparring is an excellent way to prepare for actual combat.We'll fight each other with non-lethal weapons now but better that than being cut down in the real thing.
Let's begin then. I am ready.
Actually I want to do something else.
Good. You were able to block my attacks successfully. You may repeat this practice and try to get faster each time
Well that didn't go too well you must press and hold down the right mouse button to keep your block effective.) Do you want to try again?
Yes. Let's try again.
No
Hey! We are doing a blocking practice not attack me back.
I am sorry. Let's try once again.
Sorry. I must leave this practice now.
All right. As you wish.
Well that didn't go too well and try not to do same mistakes next time. Do you want to have a go again?
Yes. Let's do another round.
No. That was enough for me.
Well
Hey but next time I'll be more careful. Do you want to have a go again?
Very good. You have learned how to attack from any direction you want. If you like we can try this again or move to a different exercise.
Not bad. Not bad at all! You seem to have grasped the basics of archery. Now but you need to reload it after each shot.
Good. You didn't have too much difficulty using the crossbow either. Next you will learn to use throwing weapons.Pick up the javelins you see over there and try to hit those three targets.
Well and in time you will be as good as the best marksmen in Perisno.
Now
Good day to you let me know and I'll teach you how to use the bow the crossbow and the javelin.
Yes
No
All right. Your first training will be in bowmanship. The bow is a difficult weapon to master. But once you are sufficiently good at it
All right. I am ready.
Just a minute. I want to do something else first.
I hope you enjoyed the ride. Now we move on to something a bit more difficult. Grab the lance you see over there and ride around the course hitting each target at least once.
Good! You have been able to hit all targets on horseback. That's no easy feat for a starter. Your next challange will be using a bow and arrows to shoot at the archery targets by the road. You need to put an arrow to each target to consider yourself successful.
Very good. You were able to shoot all targets from horseback. Keep riding and practicing each day and in time you will be an expert horseman.
Now
Good day! I have come here for some riding practice you can take my horse here. The exercise would be good for her.
Yes
Uhm. Maybe later.
Good. Now
All right. I am ready.
Just a minute. I need to do something else first.
Hey talk with the archery trainer if you need guidance about ranged weapons.
Is there a change of plans?
What's going on?
I can speak your tongue. What is your business here?
I am nothing but a merchant
Merchant you say? I take it your wares were on that ship?
Indeed.
Well... There are many bandits I wish you luck in your travels.
My business? I will be having that armor of yours
You are a fool. Okel Jakkaarii!
Oleth hrakkarikh
Where is Torsson?
He died bravely
Where is Torsson? That is a very good question; he couldn't make it on the voyage back
Stop playing games! He is dead coward!
And why did you not die with him
He is dead and couragous
Ready to leave?
Yes
Not quite yet.
Well as he challenged you. However you are one of two survivors to Torsson's raid. Tell me what happened.
Well
Well and he wasn't there upon our return... [deny cowardice]
You disgust me.
You do not deserve the very clothes on your back
*spits* But I will give you another chance. Do not act such a coward again
You say you found a bit of cloth with Aethling Svafar's sigil on it when looking at your camp? I have no doubt that it is his doing.
You must avenge Torsson's death but you have all the time in the world. Svafar's death is your mission.
Thank you for giving me this chance to prove myself. I will not fail in this.
Good day looking to sell a few of my wares. What can I do for you?
I want to trade. Show me your wares.
Ah
Anything else?
Tell me. What are people talking about these days?
Well weather the wars; the same old things. I know little of what men are talking of here on Hylr I am simply a merchant trying to find my way to as many remote places as possible to sell my wares and hopefully find some interesting stories. You could say I'm a bit of an adventurer myself!
Good-bye.
I have no words for you
What are you looking at?
Are you looking at me?
Such a waste...
Better him than me
I'm not sure... Some sort of animal
Excuse me -- please accept my apologies
I'll let it slide... this time.  Now buzz off.
I'll wipe that smirk right off your face!
I'll wipe that smirk right off your face!
Do you have any idea who I am?
Do I care?
Big talk from a little runt.  I'll put you in your place!
Emmm... Actually... Yes I do know who you are {s0}. Please forgive me your grace -- it must be the drink. I'll be leaving now...
Why you shall have one!
I thought as much. Now
You look like a {reg33?dame:fellow} who can take a few hard knocks -- and deal them out
How's that?
Good -- I'm glad you're interested. Here's the plan... It's a little complicated
You and this other fellow will start up a fight here. No weapons and split the profits with the winner. If we make a loss then I'll cover it. You've got nothing to lose -- except a bit of blood of course.
However where everyone places their bets beforehand. People will walk in drawn by the noise and put a aurum or two on whichever one of your two they think is winning. I'll give 'em even odds -- anything else is going to be too tricky for someone who's already on his third flagon of ale.
So the trick is to stretch things out for as long as possible where it looks like you're losing and people bet against you -- and then come back fast and win before the betting can turn. The best way to make money is for you to be battered almost to the floor and then jump back off your feet and take the other guy down. However you have to win in the end in order for me and you to make money.
Also or people will suspect a fix. So one of you has to take a punch every so often. I don't care whose blood is spilled but there has to be some blood.
And one other thing -- my mate he doesn't take to well to complexity. So he's just going to come straight at you. It's up to you to supply the artistry.
So
  {!}[Yes -- not yet implemented]
I have better things to do
Good day to you
Forgive me but I see none of your merchandise.
Never mind.
A trader? Oh I certainly am that.My merchandise is a bit different from most however. It has to be fed and watered twice a day and tries to run away if I turn my back.
Livestock?
Close enough. I like to call myself the man who keeps every boat on this ocean moving.Boats are driven by oars and oars need men to pull them or they stop. That's where I come in.
Galley slaves.
Now you're catching on! A trading port like this couldn't survive without them.The ships lose a few hands on every voyage
Where do the slaves come from?
Mostly I deal in convicted criminals bought from the authorities.Others are prisoners of war from various nations on occasion I'll buy from privateers and other . . . 'individuals'. You can't be picky about your suppliers in this line of work.You wouldn't happen to have any prisoners with you would you?
Me?
Why not? If you intend to set foot outside this town God willing you'll come out on top.Why not make some extra money off the whole thing? Take them alive bring them back to me and I'll pay you fifty aurums for each head.Don't much care who they are or where they come from.
Hmm. I'll think about it.
Do think about it!There's a lot of silver to be made
Hello
Anything else?
I've brought you some prisoners
I want to sell all the prisoners I have with me.
I'll take your {reg1} {reg2?prisoners:prisoner} off your hands for {reg0} aurums. Do we have a deal?
We have a deal.
Let me think about it again.
Let me see what you have...
A pleasure doing business with you.
How do I take somebody as prisoner?
Can you tell me again about capturing prisoners?
You're new to this like a mace or a club rather than cutting him open with a sword. That way he goes to sleep for a little while rather than bleeding to death you see?I'm assuming you have a blunt weapon with you . . .
Of course.
As a matter of fact
Good. Then all you need to do is beat the bugger down with your weapon they tend to be protected enough that it won't matter what kind of weapon you use but your average rabble-rouser will bleed like a stuck pig if you get him with something sharp. I don't have many requirements in my merchandise but I do insist they be breathing when I buy them.
No? Heh this must be your lucky day. I've got an old club lying around that I was going to throw away.It a bit battered but still good enough bash someone until he stops moving.Here have it.
Thanks
Alright like a mace or a club rather than cutting him open with a sword. That way he goes to sleep for a little while rather than bleeding to death you see?It's a bit different for nobles and such they tend to be protected enough that it won't matter what kind of weapon you use but your average rabble-rouser will bleed like a stuck pig if you get him with something sharp.
Alright
Well so they won't bring your enemies down as quickly.And trust me given the chance most of the scum you run across would just as soon kill you as look at you so don't expect any courtesy when you pull out a club instead of a sword.Moreover having to drag prisoners to and fro will slow down your party which is why some people simply set their prisoners free after the fighting's done.It's madness. How could anyone turn down all that silver eh?
Is that everything?
Just one final thing. Managing prisoners safely is not an easy thing to do you should try and learn the tricks of it yourself or you won't be able to hang on to a single man you catch.
Thanks
I'd better be going.
Remember bring them to me. I'll pay you good silver for every one.
Do you have any tasks for me?
Why
Why
Since business is so terrible right now
Alright! I'll do it.
No thanks. Maybe another time
Excellent! Remember
I have the prisoners!
Excellent! Here is the reward I promised you.
I humbly request that your {reg33?lady:lord}ship keeps {reg33?her:his} hands where I can see them.
You should never see this. If you do
What do you wish to know
What do you know of the lords of the other kingdoms?
Where are the monarchs of the other kingdoms
Where would you recommend I send my armies next?
I want to target an enemy lord.
Never mind.
I will be available when needed
.
My men tell me that the following lords could be turned...^{s4}

Thank you.
{reg33?Madam:Sir} I am in a position to offer you the same service. ^^ Be aware that this type of action though covert could affect your reputation if it is discovered that you have had anything to do with it. Would you like to hear your options?
Tell me what my options are.
I have no enemies I would wish this upon.
Very well you can sponsor an attack on a lord by hiring a mercenary company. There is one in town right now that would prove suitable. This group would hunt down and attack your chosen lord and they will pursue him to the ends of the earth. For example if he is defeated by another they will lie in wait until he regroups and attack again. Note that the lord needs to be in transit between centres before our troops can attack. The ususal fee for this service is in the region of ten thousand aurums.
Second though past attempts have shown that there is a high chance that the lord will fight them off. However attacks which do succeed cause a lot of damage to a lord and his reputation. The target lord needs to own at least one fief as that makes it easy for the assassins to lie in wait.^^ This service does not come cheap; the assassins usually command a fee of fifteen thousand aurums.
I'd like to target an enemy lord and his army.
I'd like to order an assassination.
I've changed my mind. This skulduggery is not for me.
By the way as you would lose the goodwill of both the people and the gentry if discovered so I do not offer you that option.^^ The following lords all hold some enmity towards you. Which one would you like to target?
{s1}
Never mind.
I'm afraid the Kingdom does not have enough money to sponsor an attack.
Very well. The Mercenaries are outside if you decide to follow them please do so at a discreet distance. It would not do to have your name associated with this attack.
By the way as you would lose the goodwill of both the people and the gentry if discovered so I do not offer you that option.^^ The following lords all hold some emnity towards you. Which one would you like to assassinate?
{s1}
Never mind.
I'm afraid the Kingdom does not have enough money to sponsor an attack.
Very well. I will pass on your instructions to the right people. Remember the success of this attack is not guaranteed.^^ Go now and I will send you word as to our success or failure.
My {reg33?Queen:King} just consult me and I will help you in any way possible.
Thank you. I'm sure you will be of much use to me now and in the future.
You have need of me
I would like to hire a small Perisnoan army to help keep order.
I would like to hire some mercenaries.
I would like to gather the kingdom vassals for a campaign.
I wish to know the location of a lord.
How many patrols does the kingdom have and what is the limit?
Nevermind.
Of course. This will cost you 30
Yes.
Nevermind. (Not enough money or one is already in the field).
It is done
Are you sure

I changed my mind.
It is done. The mercenaries will wait outside the castle for your orders.
Are you sure?
Yes.
Nevermind.
I will send the orders immediately. Is there anything else you need?
Very well. About whom do you wish to hear?
{s1}
I have a different request.
{s1}
My reports indicate that of the {reg26} patrols your kingdom can support

I wish to collect on the bounties of some criminals I have captured.
There's your bounty. Good work
Kiss my arse.

We are men who have come from all over the country. We look for bandits and outlaws and we hunt them down as a cat hunts down a mouse. You must be new here or we'll hunt you down too.

I am hunting a group of bandits with the following description... Have you seen them?
{s15}
We'll see how poor you are after I take what you've got!
Carry on
I am at your service
It has been an honor to serve you
Yes
Anything else?
I want to review the castle garrison.
Of course. Here are our lists
Let me see your equipment.
Very well
I want you to abandon the castle and join my party.
I've grown quite fond of the place... But if it is your wish I'll come with you.
And where would we sleep? You're dragging a whole army with you there's no more room for all of us.
[Leave]
Yes
Are we home yet?
Not yet.
I can't wait to get back. I've missed my family so much
{playername}
We still have a long way ahead of us.
Very soon. We're almost there.
Ah I envy you. You can live like this all the time.
That's good news. Not that I don't like your company you'll come visit me when you can.
Greetings my first and foremost vassal. I await your counsel.
Anything else?
What do you think about our progress so far?
{reg11?We have {reg11} {s0} on our side:We have no {s0} with us yet} while {reg29?they have {reg23?{reg23} towns:} {reg24?{reg24} castles:} {reg25?and {reg25} villages:}:they have no remaining settlements}.Overall {s30}.
Then
It seems this rebellion is not going anywhere. We must give up.
{playername}
Indeed
I was jesting. I will fight for you until we succeed.
Are you absolutely sure? I will never forgive you if you abandon my cause.
I am sure.
Let me think about this some more.
So be it. Then my cause is lost. There is only one thing to do for me now. I will go from Perisno and never come back. With me gone
{reg65?My lady:My lord}
Very well
If it would please you
Well
I suggest that you decide who should hold a fief that does not have a lord.
Which fief did you have in mind?
{s4}
And who should receive it?
Never mind.
Let us keep going
Anything else?
Anything else?
Yes
As marshal
Let me see your equipment.
Very well
What can you tell me about your skills?
All right
This is unsafe for you. You should get back to our court.
Are you sure
Yes.
No
We need to separate for a while.
Very well
Oh really? Well
Well there was something I needed to tell you.
That's right. We need to part ways.
No
Well. I'll be off
I'd like to ask you something.
Never mind.
Very well. What did you want to ask?
How do you feel about the way things are going in this company?
Tell me your story again.
I suppose you know that I aspire to be {reg33?queen:king} of this land?
Do you have any connections that we could use to our advantage?
Would you be interested in holding a fief?
CHEAT: buff this person!
{s21}
{s5}
{s5}
Then shortly after
Anything else?
Um... Yes. I had heard.
{s21}
Would you then support my cause?
Very good. I shall keep that in mind.
I would I have a proposal on how I might help you attain your throne. But you recently sent {s22} off on a similar mission. Perhaps we should wait for a couple of weeks to avoid drawing too much attention to ourselves.
{s21}
{s21}
{s21}
{s21}
Very good. You do that
On second thought
Farewell then for a little while
{s21}
Of course or pull me out then don't send a messenger. Come and get me yourself -- even if that means you have to sneak through the gates.
Splendid idea -- you do that.
Actually
Good. I should be ready to report in about five days. Farewell then for a little while.
{playername} take this as some small repayment for your noble deed.
Always an honour to serve
What's new?
A large army of mysterious outlanders is invading Perisno. They call themselves Zann. I once met a man named Shi Jin who was trying to warn people about them and Shi Jin is probably the only one who know how to stop them.
What kind of nonsense is this?
Then I should find him and talk to him.
I know that you were trying to warn people about Zann invasion. Do you know how to stop them?
I know that you were trying to warn people about Zann invasion. Do you know how to stop them?
I know that you were trying to warn people about Zann invasion. Do you know how to stop them?
Stopping Zann won't be easy but it can be done. First of all whence Zann came consists not only of original Jin lands but also Khergia steppe Sine land and Shun-Ha Island. The Emperor granted these lands to his vassals but not all of them are truly loyal to him. Some of these traitors left with the Zann but there are also a few cunning ones who pretend to serve the Emperor of Jin yet in fact support Zann from abroad.
They are sending their armies to assist Zann invasion.These armies are The Horde of Jin The Horde of Shun Ha and The Horde of Khergia. If you defeat them you will likely find the names of Jin lords who support Zann. Give these names to me and I will send them to my uncle. And then I can guarantee you that you will no longer see these armies in Perisno.
I defeated The Horde of Jin. Here are some documents I found.
I defeated The Horde of Jin. Here are some documents I found.

Excellent! This is what I need. I will immediately send a messenger to the Emperor of Jin.

Excellent! This is what I need. I will immediately send a messenger to the Emperor of Jin.
Excellent! This is what I need. I will immediately send a messenger to the Emperor of Jin.
I failed the quest.
I found the person wearing strange black armor and did what was required.
Good work.  I owe you a lot for helping me with this task.  That's your reward. But be careful. People over there are watching you. And I don't think their intentions are good. Farewell
Yes. I just happen to have a new client. He's a strange type though. I don't think I ever saw a black armor like the one he's wearing. Are you interested?
No
Yes. Where is this client now?
He is waiting in {s8}.
During my travels Syabr is now in {s8}!
Take this tamga. If you show it to the Fort captain
Thank you for your help.
Are you that person who was looking for help? I was sent here by the Guild.
Yes. You see
Wait. I am an adventurer
You don't need to. And if you had been patient enough to let me finish a renowned fortification builder to do this job. My role in this is merely making sure he has all the resources he needs. But now all my efforts will be pointless because several days ago an escaped soldier from Syabr's escort arrived and said that they were ambushed by a large group of Mosoru riders. Syabr was taken prisoner by them and now I need someone to rescue him.
Don't you have troops for this? You don't look like a person who's experiencing a lack of soldiers at his disposal.
I certainly do. But I am no commander and I don't have anyone who could lead my soldiers in battle. So are you willing to take this job and rescue our engineer?
No. It is too dangerous for me.
I'd like to help you but I don't have enough troops for this ask.
Yes
That's alright. You are not the first coward who rejects this job after hearing the details.
This is not an issue. Actually find the captain and talk to him. Give him this letter and he will give you some troops to help you on the task as well as a scout who will lead you to the Mosoru.
Splendid. Then let us get to business. A group of slaves will soon be escorted to our fort. Follow them and after you arrive at the fort find the captain and talk to him. Give him this letter and he will have a scout lead you to the Mosoru.
Go to the Zann Outpost!
Who are you? What do you want?
I was sent here by Temnik Arslan. I need to get to Zann Outpost.
I'd like to search your carts.
Never mind!
Follow us then. We are just heading there
How dare you?! We are under protection of Emperor Zann Mandate of Heaven! Your foolish act will not be forgotten.
I have come from Temnik Arslan (show the letter).
I see. I will have several troops and one of our scouts join your party and help you. Talk to the scout for the details on Mosuru's location
A scout joined your party. Talk to him.
Tell me what happened. Where was Syabr's party attacked?
They were moving across the desert from a dwarven town of {s8} to our outpost. That's when they were ambushed by the Mosoru.
What were they doing in Kaikoth lands?
Tower and bridge schematics for the future castle were designed by the famous Jin architect Gudu de lang. However it turned out that stone in these lands is not firm enough to hold the whole structures.
Go on...
So Syabr headed to the dwarven master Totigor to buy some components that are necessary for creating a sturdier compound.
All right. So where should we start looking for him?
I suggest that we head to the desert
Great. Then it's what we're going to do.
You! What do you know about a recent attack on the caravan that was carrying a cargo of construction materials?
What? I don't know nothing about it!
I have no idea what you are babbling about.
I've only heard that there was an attack on a caravan that turned out to be carrying some stone dust instead of gold and valuables.
I know that we suffered heavy losses yet only got a couple of prisoners and several bags of dust in the end.
Fine. You are free to go.
Where did you get the prisoners?
As usual
What town was it?
{s8}.
Fine. You are free to go.
So I've heard you were buying slaves...
Yes. But not for myself. It's just when one of this town's citizens need a slave
Have you recently bought anyone who was wearing an unusual armor?
And why should I answer this question?
I need this information. If you want
All right. I could use some help from a good soldier. You see
If somebody doesn't teach them a lesson
Do you need them dead or alive? Or just their gold?
I need them to pay. Whether they will end up dead or alive
Fine. I'll do it. So for whom did you buy the slaves that were wearing a strange armor?
I think those Masnerian mercs were about to leave town soon. And it means that my money will leave with them.
All right. You can consider them dead. I'll get back to you soon.
Those troublesome mercenaries are dealt with.
Those troublesome mercenaries are dealt with.
That's good. Except I have heard that it wasn't you who defeated them. Anyway
Great. Where are 1000 aurums that they owe me?
Here is the money.
You'll have them. I'll get back to you soon.
Here is the money.
You'll have them. I'll get back to you soon.
Here is the money.
All right. A deal is a deal. Go and talk to our Guild Master. It was him I bought those slaves of yours for.
Who are you? What do you want?
I'm here to make you pay your debt to the tavern keeper of {s8}.
I've heard that you recently bought some slaves and several of them were wearing strange black armor. Is that true?
Well I did buy several slaves. I needed them to work on reinforcing town walls.  And - yes some of those slaves looked unusual as if there were not from around here. And I can even tell you more - one of those slaves turned out to be quite a brilliant engineer. Thanks to his advice on multiple matters we could finish in a week what we would otherwise have spent a month working on.
Why are working in reinforcing town walls? Shouldn't that be your lord's concern?
Out town was granted Magdeburg rights by the Emperor a long time ago. For the most of the time with whom to trade and so on. Justice here also lies in the hand of the court not the town lord. Other than this we paying taxes to the lord while he is partially taking care of town's defenses.
Interesting. Anyway
Him? Hmm well if the price is right... let's say 30000 denars.
Here is your gold!
What? A fortune for a slave?
Yes. But... well
Tell me what you need.
As I was saying about a half of our garrison should be comprised of local recruits. But most citizens have grown wealthy and like living their lives. They don't want to serve in the army.
Fine
This is just what I am about to do. People here collected 10000 denars to sign a contract with the Freelancer Guild
What is this Freelancer Guild?
It is a mercenary guild from the west coast of Tolrania. Their base is located near a river the slaves will be yours. After all I believe they will be done with the walls by the time you return.
All right. I'll do this. Give me the money you collected.
He-he. No. First you have freelancers sign the contract
I was sent here by the Guild Master of the town of {s8}. He wishes to sign a contract with your guild to hire freelancers for the town garrison as well as patrols.
That can be arranged. Did you bring 10000 aurums?
Here is the money.
Not yet. But I'll get back to you soon.
Here is 10000 denars for the contract.
I'm running short of money these days. Maybe a person like me can do something for you instead?
Hmm. All right. A group of my freelancers deserted from an army that hired them having killed several fellow soldiers in the process. That seriously damaged our reputation the last time they were spotted near {s7}. Deal with them and the contract will be yours for only a half of the price.
No
I'll do it.
Group a freelancer deserters have been eliminated by another party.
This is also good. Did you bring 10000 aurums?
Here is 5000 denars for the contract.
Those troublesome deserters are dealt with.
This is good. Did you bring 5000 aurums?
Here is the money.
Not yet. But I'll get back to you soon.
Here is 5000 denars for the contract.
So the contract is signed. The party of freelancers will soon head for {s8}.
See you later!
Who are you? What do you want?
I'd like to search your carts.
Nothing
How dare you?! Your foolish act will not be forgotten.
You are a threat to people of {s8}. Surrender or die!
What? You want a fight
Who are you? What do you want?
Nothing.
Surrender or die!
I signed the contract with freelancers. Now it's you turn. Give me the slaves and 10000 denars you owe me.
You probably misunderstood me. I'm giving you the slaves let's say it's a compensation for the fact that I'm letting them keep their equipment.
Fine. Just let's get this over with.
The engineer and his companions will be waiting for you at the town gate.
I can cover the rest of the way ourselves. Thanks.
Well
Greetings!
Greetings.  I will lead you to {s8}.
Eh. We've made it this far... What do you want me to do?
You follow my lead. I'll take you through a safe route.
Alright. I'll be right behind you.
You stay here for a while. I'll go ahead and check the road.
Alright. I'll be waiting here for you.
I found the client and did what was required.
Good work.  That's your reward. But be careful. People over there are watching you. And I don't think their intentions are good.
Hello asking for help. Are you interested?
Solving nobles' problems? I think I'll pass.
Yes. Who is this lord?
He is the owner of the town of {s8}.
To continue the quest
To continue the quest
I'm here on behalf of Adventurer's Guild. What kind of help do you need?
Oh these ungrateful rebels. They keep supporting that Nibor Hood cutthroat. Even a part of town's garrison is practically on his side now and I have to do something about it. My plan is to hire a team of loyal mercenaries to reinforce the garrison and watch for those traitors.
I'm sorry
All right
Outlanders. Those who do not share locals' beliefs and views. I think somebody like Nihonian mercenaries will do. Find them and persuade them to work for me.
One of local lords is looking for mercenaries to serve in his town's garrison. Are you interested?
Well let alone this lord. But money could solve this problem. Hire us and then we can talk.
You have your money. So what about garrison service I mentioned?
This is a good offer a large party of my friends along with their chieftain Omelian Kasap were hired to get rid of a band of brigands robbing people near {s9}.  They are probably at the castle at this moment. Go and talk to them.
Greetings
Speak then. What is it?
A lord who owns {s8} wants you to serve in the garrison of his town. Money will not be a problem
Hmm. This is a fine offer for an old man such as I. Speaking frankly and the garrison duty is what I probably need now. In other words I agree. I'll see you outside castle walls.
We can cover the rest of the way on our own. Thanks.
So
What do we do now?
I have a plan. First I and my people enter the town claiming that we came to join Nibor Hood. Then after the gates are open so hurry!
Ok. I'll see you at the tavern after we deal with the rebels! Good luck!
Hi!
Follow me.  I will lead you to {s8}.
Eh. We've made it this far... What do you want me to do?
You follow my lead. I'll take you through a safe route.
Alright. I'll be right behind you.
You stay here for a while. I'll go ahead and check the road.
Alright. I'll be waiting here for you.
The old woman is now in Fountain Hall!
Did she pay you for that? Because she didn't left any gold for The Guild.
What?! She only gave me a couple of coins! I thought that The Guild would pay me the rest... Gods! That old woman...
Ha ... ha ... ha ... Oh I'm sorry but we have no money to give you. The woman left her armor though. You can take it if you need it.
Do you want to make some aurums?
No.
Yes.
Then you have to talk to the elderly woman near town. She looks for help.
Sorry. I can't do that right now.
I can cover the rest of the way ourselves. Thanks.
Well
Greetings. You must be my escort
What? ... Yes
That is true. My name is Oksanamunmun. You need to know what you are about to sign up for
I used to have a daughter who was unfortunate to give birth to a boy. The Amazon Priestesses ordered her to sacrifice him to the gods so that they will help us in our fights against Tolranian lords...
That's barbaric!
... My daughter escaped and left the child with me. When she returned
And now you are planning to begin a new life?
Yes. I want to go to the town of free people where residents do not pay attention to one's sex or origins.
Is there such town in Perisno?
There is! It is called Fountain Hall. But I have a problem. The Priestess' cadres are now hunting us. I took refuge in this city. Now I am looking for someone to escort me to my destination. Are you up to this task?
I am! I will lead you to Fountain Hall.
Eh. We've made it this far... What do you want me to do?
You follow my lead. I'll take you through a safe route.
Alright. I'll be right behind you.
You stay here for a while. I'll go ahead and check the road.
Alright. I'll be waiting here for you.
Hey and then we will let you go!
No! (clears throat)... And you should rather get married! Maybe then you will stop being so afraid of men!
(Angrily) Get me the traitor! Alive!
Hold on
Get me this piece of shit too! The Priestess will cut out {reg33?her:his} tongue!
Where did the old hag and her grandson hide?
Gods
What's new?
The elderly amazon is looking for you. I saw her at the tavern of {s8}.
I don't want to see this liar.
Thank you for telling me! I'll talk to her.
Greetings
Thanks!
I managed to do quite well in this town. I'm not short of money anymore but my daughter ... My heart is longing for revenge. I saved some gold and hired a couple of mercenaries but I cannot leave my grandchild. He needs nurture and protection. So now I am looking for someone who would avenge my daughter's death for me.
No
Well
No
Go to the town of Lille!
Greetings
Yes
How is your investigation doing?
I sent my men to gather information
From time to time they would send a caravan of goods guarded by female soldiers. I believe such caravans go to Ankars.
In my opinion you should start by finding out what exactly those caravans carry.
Good work
Very soon.
Good. I'll deal with the caravan
Who are you? What do you want?
I'd like to search your carts.
How dare you?! We are under protection of Queen Arwen! Your foolish act will not be forgotten.
{reg33?Madame:Sir}
Stay here and gather your men.
Unfortunately
Stay here and gather your men.
Stay here and gather your men.
Unfortunately
That is bad. However
Caravan guards refused to show me their goods voluntarily
Good work.
So
I think I have to tell Oksanamun about that. You and your men should stay here.
Yes
Greetings
I intercepted a caravan that departed from the town of Lille. It was carrying amazon bows and arrows.
Good! Amazons do not produce weapons on their own. Instead they maintain good relationship with the elves. Elves deliver supplies. Amazons pay with gold or slaves
Now you have to keep looking in this direction.
Find amazons who are waiting for caravans from Lille. Talk to captain Berkut about that.
After you defeat them
Fine. I'll do as you say.
Be careful.
Go to the town of Lille!
{reg33?Madame:Sir}
I need to find out where caravans are heading.
Good. One of the caravans left about an hour age.
I'll follow it. You and men have to join me.
Yes
I did what you asked. I found the party of amazons waiting for the goods and defeated them.
Good work. Thank you!
Good work. Thank you for your help!
Greetings
Thank you do not hesitate to ask.
Hi
Hi
What do you wish?
Follow me
All right
Stay here
All right
Patrol this area
All right
Go to...
Patrol around...
Nevermind
Where?
{s1}
Okay
Nevermind
I haven't defeated Joan Zwiebel
Well...so I haven't got any problem and you have no aurums.
I found Joan Zwiebel's army
Good work.  I owe you a lot for helping me with this task. Farewell
It is great to see you a mysterious stranger came to me. He gave The Guild a dangerous assignments which I was foolish enough to accept.
Back then I did not quite realize how difficult it would be to fulfill it. So now I am asking for you help. Are you up to a challenge?
No
Sure
Great! It's about getting rid of someone... a woman.
How is this difficult? You could just hire a couple of Ral'Daiun assassins.
They already made five attempts but haven't been successful. The name of the woman is Joan Zwiebel.
Well
It's not about that. Joan Zwiebel was leading militia during the War of the Woods. Now she is very popular. A lot of people support her
Really?!
Yes. And I am actually inclined to believe that this 'Mysterious Stranger' was the Tolranian Spymaster.
So this is all about politics. And now I either have to cooperate and kill that woman or die because of knowing too much.
Yes
So this is all about politics. And now I either have to cooperate and kill that woman or die because of knowing too much.
Follow the scout. He will lead you to your target.
Who are you? What do you want?
I am here to kill you.
Where do I find Joan Zwiebel?
Not far from here. She was following me.
Who are you? What do you want?
Halt! Our secrets should not be spread.
Greetings
Thank you do not hesitate to ask.
Greetings
Thank you do not hesitate to ask.
I have a new task for you.
Joan Zwiebel! There is no other choice for me but to kill you!
There is always a choice!
(Attack the party of Joan Zwiebel)
(Attack the party of the Tolranian Spymaster)
Who are you? What do you want?.
I am here to kill you.
Where do I find the Spymaster?
Not far from here. I had been chasing him before you appeared.
Patrol around...
What's new?
Adventurers are looking for you. They have an interesting job.
Thank you for telling me! I'll talk to them.
The log of orders  is in Meadbrewer. You can ask him.
Where's Meadbrewer?
He said that he was going to Fountain Hall.
I did not find Meadbrewer.
 You can find Meadbrewer at the tavern of {s8}.
Hi! Do you have customers?
Adventurer Guildsman said that you  can help make a couple of aurums.
Nothing.
What do you want?
That is a shame. You can come back next time for more quests
I failed the quest.
I found the client and did what was required.
Good work.  That's your reward. But be careful. People over there are watching you. And I don't think their intentions are good.
I found the client and did what was required.
Good work.  That's your reward. But be careful. People over there are watching you. And I don't think their intentions are good.
Hi! Can you help me make a couple of aurums?.
Hi! I forgot. Where is the client?
The client lives in {s8}.
You have  unusual drinks?
Such a pity. A barrel of mead with kalyna berries emptied.
Kalyna? What it is?
I do not know. This mead brought Silberfalke. On the feast of armorer.
Where can I find Silberfalke?
Mead with kalyna. Shucks!
John is my cousin. You can find it in the armorer workshop in this town.
Silver Hawk said that you have a good mead with kalyna berries.
Yes
No! Thank you! I do not want to drink this mead.
(You drank a sip of mead).
Ugh! (You do not like this drink)
(You drank a wineglass to the bottom).
Wonderful mead! (You do like this drink)
Yes. Meadbrewer produced delicious mead with kalyna berries.
Kalyna? What it is?
I do not know. (Silberfalke smiles). You should ask Meadbrewer.
I circuited  the tawn in order to find you.  I have never seen Meadbrewer.
Meadbrewer is a retired mercenary guild of adventurers. We traveled Perisno together for a while.
Where can I find Meadbrewer?
 You can find Meadbrewer at the tavern of {s8}.
I failed the quest.
That is a shame. You can come back next time for more quests
I found the client and did what was required.
I found the client and did what was required.
Greetings Meadbrewer! My name is {playername}. Do you sell mead?
Yes
I drank your mead with kalyna berries. What it kalyna? Silberfalke told me to ask you.
Silberfalke?
Yes. The armorer from Fountain Hall.
Kalyna is a common name for guelder-rose. Kalyna is one of the national symbols of my homeland. Its berries symbolize blood and the undying trace of family roots.
Silberfalke said you were together in the Adventurer Guild.
Yes. Silberfalke returned to his relatives in the city. He is a skilled gunsmith. I stayed here.  Around grow prairie grass. Near the lake grows guelder-rose. It is a paradise for bees and mead-brewers.
Can you help me make some aurums?
You should rather ask my former colleagues about this. Their quests will bring you a lot of gold.
Okay
Mead you do not sell. How do you make for a living?
You must to find other adventurers.
Okay
Wait a minute. Let me see if I have anything for you.
Okay. I'll wait.
The client lives in {s8}. Just tell them I sent you to help.
{s3}
{s3}
{s3}
{s3}
Ha! Just got the message. This problem decided patrol.
Yes. That was me.
Well so maybe next time...
Well of course.
{s3}
A party of suspicious types is wandering nearby. A few town residents already disappeared. The same thing happened to several merchant caravans
Ha! Just got the message. This problem decided patrol.
Where are they now?
Not far from the town.
{s3}
You've been causing a lot of trouble around here and I don't have to answer to you. Surrender or die!
{s3}
You've been causing a lot of trouble around here and  I don't have to answer to you. Surrender or die!
Too bad. No one needs your help at the moment.
I'm afraid I must be going now. Find one of my colleagues  - there are three of us right now that are in taverns for more tasks.
I have defeated the rebel peasants and taken back the money!
Good work. Now now that my work is done. You will find my colleagues throughout taverns in Perisno giving you quests although not every one of them will be as easy as this one! Farewell {playername}. I can see a brave warrior in you.
I will take the money back immediately.
Hello. I am {playername}. Who are the Adventurer's Guild?
Greetings. What business having you with the Adventurer's Guild? Have you come looking for tasks to complete?
I am glad you asked! We are a group of men and women dedicated to getting beginning adventurers started on their journeys to become famous. We give out tasks and jobs of all sorts to people who want it and if those in need request a favor we will try to send an Adventurer to help them. Of course we require payment from the ones who request help from us.
So basically you guys are a group of people that send your guildsman to help those in need
Essentially I think. Pay us to help you and we will pay mercenaries or our guildsman to go help. That way everyone ends up happy. Are you looking for any tasks to complete adventurer?
I am a mercenary in these lands. I indeed would like to complete some quests.
No. Goodbye for now.
I was hoping you would ask. I don't know how capable you are I will give you an easier job. Recently we were contacted by an anonymous village elder who told us that a group of rebel peasants - around 10 or 20 have rioted and escaped from the village. They are now fugitives and are told to be around this town. We want you to hunt these peasants down and defeat them then take their money that they stole from the village elder and give it to us so we can return it to the elder.
I will do it.
No thanks. I don't have time right now.
Very good. Once you defeat the rebellious farmers {playername}.
Who are you? What do you want here? I warn you ... we ... we know how to use our weapons!
What a bunch of fools! I thought you would at least prove a challenge of some sort. I have come to kill you and take back your money that you stole from your village's treasuries.
Men ... steady! We shall let no one get in our way of freedom!
Yes?
Do you have any tasks for me?
Actually a mysterious stranger approached me telling me to look out for any adventurer who was up for a hard task and giving me a chest of gold as a reward for the one who would complete it. Might you be up for it?
I don't see why not.
It's about getting rid of someone...a woman.
How is this difficult? You could hire some of Ral D'Aiun's assassins.
They already made five attempts but haven't been successfull. The name of that woman is Nadriela Zwiebel - an Elvarie.
Umm... am I supposed to know that name?
It might ring a bell. Nadriela was the leader of a contingent of rangers back in the War of the Woods. She is very famous - a legend among the Elvarie and Tolranians. I was told that she killed the son of the Tolranian spymaster in a skirmish
So you want me to get rid of her?
Yes. However so you must be careful. I had specific instructions that the Spymaster must not be the one to kill her. I do not know why this is but the person made it seem vital.
Okay. Do you know where Nadriela is right now?
The person told me that she would be near Elsinore. Good luck
No thanks.
There are no more quests available for you right now. Come back to me later.
Who are adventurer's guild again?
I am glad you asked! We are a group of men and women dedicated to getting beginning adventurers started on their journeys to become famous. We give out tasks and jobs of all sorts to people who want it and if those in need request a favor we will try to send an Adventurer to help them. Of course we require payment from the ones who request help from us.
Ah
Nevermind.
Greetings
Can you tell me a bit about yourself?
I need to be going now. Farewell.
I have not managed to defeat Kalrind. I am sorry.
Oh well. I guess I will need someone else to do it {playername}.
I have defeated Kalrind!
Congradulations
Greetings. Who might you be?
Me? I am Ulthidir
I am {playername}. Can you tell me a bit more about yourself?
I fought in the battle of Lille's Claw young {reg33?Lady:Squire}. We were fighting against a large army of the Tolranian bastards and we held them off in the pass known as Lille's Claw. The foolish Kingsmen of the Tolranians had no shields making them easy targets for our archers as we rained death upon our enemies. It was a good day a day of victory and glory. I also avenged my father that day who died in the War of the Woods. The damned Tolranians have grown too arrogant and had forgotten how our bows can easily pierce their armor. Perhaps it is time for all of us to rally again to drive the Tolranians entirely out of their lands. Many of us hope...
I see. Very interesting. Goodbye.
Do you have any tasks for me?
Now that you ask and I own a small amount of land near the Geldarin forests. A word of advice friend. When offered an estate near Geldarin territory politely decline. I chose to govern it and now every single day I am plagued by the damn Geldarin elves. There has been one group in specific causing more trouble than the others.
I'm guessing you want me to take care of them?
Yes. However Kalrind. He has an infamous reputation for massacring Elvarie and Humans alike. Beware of him when you fight him. He will not be taken down easily.
Where do I find him?
You will find him in the Geldarin forests. Good luck
Nevermind
Nothing. Farewell.
Who are you?.
Me? I am {playername}
Have you let's see about that!
I am going to find Kunika now.
Ah you have done us a great service defeating Kunika. I believe before we move on to other affairs that that will need to be addressed. Here is your reward.
Thank you. Now
Well - no offense
So I was simply bait?
Yes I trust you now and all the dragon priests are grateful for you. I have a request if I may.
What is it?
I would like to join your party as a companion. My life has been terrible here and I want to take a long break and explore the world. Will you take me?
Of course! Pack your belongings if you are joining and meet me outside the town walls. I am honored by your offer.
No
Thank you
I shall prepare at once.
{playername} Kunika. They say he is somewhere near Reichberg. I want your final task to be to find him and defeat him.
Hmm. That is a lot to ask for. He will undoubtably be strong and have a huge army. How much will I be paid?
You will be paid 15
I shall do it.
Good luck
I will need time to prepare for this.
You have been causing much grief to us
I'm guessing you are Kunika? How stupid of you to come to me when I was looking for you!
I will crush you and end your little life. We will become the new Dragon order.
Hello again
Yes.
No
Very well. My scouts have reported that the Sectarians are amassing in large numbers and come back once you have defeated at least five groups.
I will begin immediately.
Good luck.
Yes? Have you made progress?
Not yet. Goodbye.
I have hunted down some Sectarian Scouts.
Yes as promised.
You certainly deserved your pay. Most of the Sectarian scouting parties have been dealt with and now they won't be getting so many intelligence reports. They will not anticipate us now. You have done an excellent job.
Thank you. Is there any other job for me?
Yes
Continue hunting them
Thank you.
I will escort them now to Voldeberg.
I have succeeded in escorting the wyverns to Voldeberg.
That is good to hear! One of my contacts in Voldeberg told me about you success. You didn't happen to be attacked by any Sectarian priests
Actually however.
The Sectarian priests are growing stronger by the day. I fear they may do something drastic soon.
Is there anything else I can do to help you fight them?.
I will have a job for you later so come back once you are ready.
I have failed. I'm sorry.
I am disappointed. I thought better of you but apparently you cannot be trusted.
Nevermind.
Who are you
I am {playername}. My apologies I am unaware of your customs. If I may ask who are you?
Very well. I am Khivachis
My Lady
I don't know. Goodbye.
Someone unimportant. Goodbye.
A task? Why and they must reach their destination. Could you possibly lend a hand on this?
Sure. But I have some questions. First and second can't the Wyvern Riders defend themselves? I have heard they are fearsome fighters along with their mounts.
Why am I trusting you? Well and know that I can summon the wrath of the entire Reich and all of our dragons and dragon riders to destroy you. The Wyvern Riders can defend themselves well enough but ... recently we have heard reports that our enemies the Sectarian Dragon Priests are getting stronger. We can't risk losing valuable wyverns to them.
Very well. I will escort them for you.
Nevermind. I am too busy right now. Sorry!
Perfect. The Wyvern riders will wait outside the town for you.
I am afraid I don't have that many soldiers with me.
Sorry. I can't do that right now
We can cover the rest of the way ourselves. Thanks.
 Well
Greetings. You must be our escort
Yes. My name is {playername}. I will lead you to {s1}.
Well
Eh. We've made it this far... What do you want us to do?
You follow my lead. I'll take you through a safe route.
Alright. We'll be right behind you.
You stay here for a while. I'll go ahead and check the road.
Alright. We'll be waiting here for you.
Well hello
And who are you to ask that?
Who am I? I am a dragon priest - a true dragon priest. I see you have some of your wyverm friends with you.
What I do is none of your business.
No need for rude words now.
I will pass
I had hoped you would be reasonable
Greetings. We are travelling to our destination.
What is it you want?
I wish to join you and become a Demon Worshipper.
Nothing.
Away with you
Ha! You think  it is that simple? If you truly wish to become one of us
How do I do that?
You must go on a pilgrimage to our Demon Shrine you must give me 1500 aurums. Our treasury is growing thin. Show your dedication in this way.
Very well. I shall travel to the Shrine and pay my respects to the Demon Gods and the Dreaded One.
No thanks
Good. I shall await your return... or not
Greetings to the holiest of our shrines? Have you come with a demand or perhaps an offer? Either way you will not be allowed to leave until you state exactly what you want here.
I have come to join your Order and religion. I believe in your beliefs
You think it is that easy? You will have to prove yourself. I will bestow the rank of Demon Pilgrin upon you for now. Talk to Shadesin again. You must prove yourself as worthy before you can become a full member
Thank you
Good day
Yes
No
Thank you for your business.
Good day
Excellent. Let's see what you have.
I don't need any soldiers right now.
Let me know what you're interested in.
Companion Infantry.
Companion Archers.
Companion Cavalry.
Legionaries.
Atanon Guards.
Nevermind.
Hmm
I can get you those for a price of {s4} aurums each. How many would you like?
1
5
10
20
50
That is too expensive.
Let me reconsider.
They are all at your service
Glad to see you again
Indeed.
No thanks
...I...I can hardly believe it!
We'll meet you outside the fort.
Well? Have you made a decision?
...Hmm? What are you looking at
Sir
Forgive me
And why should the business of a Visavo concern a legionary like yourself?
A man of your rank just seems out of place here
You're right
Hmm...say
Uh...Visavo...Oct...uh...Oct-Octervius?
Who? You don't even kn- hold on. Your uniform looks off as well. You're not a real Third soldier
You know
Wait your face looks awfully familiar...you're the renowned {reg33?lady:lord} {playername} aren't you? You've caused quite a stir in the lands of Perisno lately.
(Looks puzzled) Very well...soldier. [Not enough renown]
{playername}
Yes
Sorry
I...I am not particularly fond of the way Atanos Octiem is running the Third. His vision of resurrecting the ancient Venetor Empire is nonsense.
He fails to recognize the strength of the new powers of Perisno
I have a proposition for you. I have covertly secured the support of my division and second-in-command Kalero to revolt against the Atanos
I will warn you however. Even with my division gone as well as the Atanos' personal guard regiment. It will no doubt be a punishing fight. What do you say?
Very well. I will help your cause defeat Atanos Octiem and his Legion.
I'm sorry but I do not believe I am currently prepared for such a challenge.
A million thanks
We've done it! Sacrifices were made on both sides
Now that we have control of the fort
The prosperous market that had been shut down by Octiem to discourage external interaction will be repopened at once. We will also no longer send scouting parties out to harrass Perisnoan inhabitants.
As we are now forever in debt to you for preserving our culture
Thank you
What? What do you want? Leave me be. I have no time for beggars.
Shut up  Eared!
Hello.
I am {playername}. Who are you?
I have done it! Now
I am a Geldarin Elf.
You have achieved it! I knew you would do it. My friend
I have a gift for you. This is Duskfall but this is the original best one.
Thank you for your gift. I will help the Geldarin Elves defeat the Elintoran Elves. For glory!
I haven't got the time.
I long for the destruction of the vile scum of Elintoran Elves. They have comitted atrocities against us that are unspeakable..
I agree.
The thought of Elves disgusts me.
I am a Geldarin Elf. My ancestors were once the dominant elf clan ruled by our enemies the cruel savage Elintoran Elves.
I will help you defeat the Elintoran Elves.
Too bad. I dislike elves regardless.
I think you are a good man. You have potential. My task for you is to conquer the capital city of Forniron
Hearing that pleases me. I hope you will succeed.
I shall help you conquer Forniron. I have no love for the Elintoran Elves.
Geldarin elves? There are enough elves in the world already!
Greetings.
Greetings to you too.
I failed. I'm sorry.
Oh . . . Oh well. I suppose you did the best you could. Bad luck
I have done it! I defeated the Red Immortals and took the shield.
I knew you could do it! In my vision I have a revelation to make: I used to be a Red Immortal.
What?? Then why would you want me to kill them? And are the visions that you talked about all fake?
They betrayed me and cast me out. I have longed for this day. Yes
This is my old set of armor. Farewell
I have seen it! A vision! A piece of craftsmanship beyond the capabilities of a mortal
My good man
I told them they would come! I told them! But no and no the books don't mention them. Now after long last I have proof! Real and concrete proof!
You told them that what would come? Please
The Immortals the infamous Red Immortals the 'mythical' elites of the Old Hakkon army! After an account written by the Hakkon historian Mirkhond was discovered some years ago the tale of these invincible soldiers has been used to inspire many a young lad into enlisting in the army.
So you say you have seen these men. Where would I be able to find them?
I have indeed seen them you will be able to take nigh invincible loot and their legendary shield the Aegis!
Where would I be able to find such a man?
I'm sorry- I've had enough of this nonsense. Good day.
The lands of Tolrania is renowned for their interest in the intellects. You will certainly find someone to ask at the center of learning in Perisno.
I shall search for the Red Imortals.
I will take back the relic for you immediately.
I will take back the relic for you immediately.
Leave me be. I am studying.
Alright. Goodbye.
Are you a scholar?
#NAME?
I am {playername} to Galwe the great center of learning and education to seek some answers to my questions. I was hoping a very learned man like you could help me.
Well exactly that you seek?
I wish to know more about the Red Immortals.
What?? The Red Immortals are nothing but a children's myth! Leave me be
I'm sorry for bothering
#NAME?
Of course. What do you need?
The infamous bandit stole a family heirloom of mine. It is a relic shaped like a cup and he took it. - The man grinds his teeth in rage - I want you to track that bastard down destroy his lair and return to me the relic. Then I shall give you a clue on where the Red Immortals are.
I will do it.
Good luck. You can find Rdahcim near the forests around here.
No thanks. It's a waste of my time (fail the quest).
It's me
Ah! Very good then I believe I promised you information for the relic. You will need to go and travel to Amarna to consult my colleague who is an expert on these matters.
Thank you. Goodbye.
Who the hell are you? And what do you want?
Me? I am the one who will kill you.
If you wouldn't mind
Sorry for bothering you.
The scholar of Galwe told me to find you. I have a question to ask.
My friend from Galwe
I am seeking information about the legend of the Red Immortals. More specifically
Well but I have done so from a purely factual and historical perspective. What you want is more obscure and absolute. The Mythseeker will know the answer to your question I have no doubt in my mind.
Another person to track down...where can I find this Mythseeker that you speak of?
The last I checked
I seek them ... the myths...
... (you leave the man alone).
The scholar of Amarna told me to find you. I have a question to ask.
What is it? Leave me be! I seek the myths
I am sorry. I have a question about the Red Immortals.
The Red Immortals? What business have you with them?
Dangerous business. I seek their legendary weapons and shield
You want to find them? And kill them? You are nothing but a fool. You cannot defeat the Immortals.
That is your opinion. Please tell me where they are.
-the man smiles to himself-. I will tell you ... you are going to die anyway. Go to the village of Wahran. That is all I shall tell. Now leave me be.
Surrender or die!
We are the Red Immortals
No thanks. You will die
Greetings {playername}.
Greetings to you too
I did it
Excellent! You have done a great job! Here
Aren't you going to tell me where the sword is
Hah! Of course! I have it ... right here
... ... WHAT?? You mean to tell me that I went on this wild goose chase to find those two relics JUST for some sort of test that you concocted?
Indeed. These two relics are going to be useful for me in my research for the Kingslayer {playername}. You brought me two important relics. As your payment I shall give you Kingslayer.
Someday
Thank you
Bard
Oh . . . Oh well. I suppose you did the best you could. Bad luck
Come back when you have it.
Good day Great Bard of Perisno. I am the one who wrote the poems 'Lost One's Soul' 'The Heir of the Heiress' and many more. I am also responsible for chronicling the histories of many legendary weapons and mysterious occurances in Perisno. Furthermore I have written historical work for the Scholar's Guild and my work has been praised all over the world.
Continue
I have other things to do than to listen to a fool. Farewell.
I'm afraid that if I go on the Kingslayer. It is said that the great Emperor of the Old Perisnoan Empire Thyceo slew seven different kings with that one sword to gain dominance. I might have a faint idea of where it is now that I know most of the details. Would you like to hear my idea?
Yes. Please tell me.
I have other things to do. I believe Kingslayer to be a myth. Farewell.
To search for the sword named the Lyre of Yralis. If this proves untrue then the book will hold the secret. The book called the 'Biography of Emperor Thyceo' has the location of the sword inside. I am certain that the secret to Kingslayer lies inside one of these two items.
Interesting. Where shall I find the lyre and book?
I have better things to do than going on a futile treasure hunt. Farewell.
Oh called the Unusual Hermit by everyone around him at Waal Castle. He know where the Lyre is. And the Biography of Thyceo hmm I think that the Priest Calain can say something about it's whereabouts but alas I dont know where he lives now.Be warned these two items are going to be very hard to acquire. You will need to be prepared to face many hardships in order to obtain them. However I believe you can do it. If you succeed you get the greatest sword of all... the Kingslayer rumored to have a blade that never dulls. Oh... and if you do find these items you will most likely need me to translate the words for you as they are written in Old Perisnoan dialect.
Alright. I shall go search for them.
I am not interested after all.
What do you want?.
Nothing. Goodbye.
Are you the one they call the Unusual Hermit? Can you tell me where the Lyre of Yralis is?
I am indeed the hermit. I was once a great general and what do you want?
(Lie) I am the descendant of the bard Yralis. I need to know where he hid it.
My name is {playername}. The Great Bard Taragith sent me. We need the Lyre for one of Taragith's discoveries.
I hope you are not trying to fool anyone ... do you think me an idiot? Yralis left no descendant. Begone!
Taragith? Hmm..what has he gotten himself into this time you will find a noble by the name of Galine.
Where? [Intimidate]
Where?
Ah. I'd forgotten that it is not called by that name anymore... it is Westrey Castle.
I don't fear you I've killed men who were thousand times better warriors than you. But I like your methods. You can find him at Westrey Castle.
Nothing. Sorry for bothering.
Are you called Galine?
Yes. My name is Galine Goldine
(Lie)I am the last descendant of Emperor Thyceo. I seek the lyre of my ancestor's faithful bard
My name is {playername}. Great Bard Taragith sent me. He seeks the lyre of Yralis for a recent discovery he made.
Do you think I am stupid? Thyceo left only one descendant
The Lyre of Yralis is an heirloom of my family. However but maybe the Priest Calain will know. Calain once preached to him I have heard.He currently resides somewhere near Forde but I am not sure exactly his whereabouts. Search around that area.
Well. I will travel to the countryside of Forde
Nothing
Priest Calain? That is you
That is who I am. I used to be full of life ... full of zeal and religion. I am now a priest in all but name. I grow old then turns back to you). Did Taragith send you? He seeks the Book does he not?
Yes
I will tell you where he and the lyre are. But do me a favor first. You must kill me. I would like to quicken my journey to the afterlife. Please
Well. I will do it
I am not an assassin. I shall not do it.
No. You are a wise and good man I can help your mission with 500 coins.
At last! Your enemy is hiding in Wotin Castle do it ...(Your weapon sinks into his flesh. You do not hear any cry of pain but only see his eyes slowly shutting down until his body is totally limp. Then you leave the room slowly after finding and taking the book.)
Hmph... maybe you are right after all. The New Gods still need me ... perhaps. You can find the rogue Sekr at Wotin Castle.(he hands you the book after searching it for a while in his library.)
You have courage I thought you were not coming.
You can still save many lives...
It is too late. My god wants your blood. You're nothing more than a fool and I'll drink beer in your skull tonight. Then I will send your skull to Taragith.
So be it.
Forget about it
Sekr Frosttongue. I come to you
Another one? Sigh ... Well 000 aurums and I will tell you where they are or get out of my sight.
Ok where are they?
Somebody bought the lyre two days ago. But you are a fool and I will not give anymore information to you.
I am tired of all these stupid bards' games. I don't want Kingslayer anyways. I give up. So long.
There is another option: You die if you don't tell me where they are.
Hahaha outside.
You committed a crime against the Church of Faith. Punishment awaits you! Surrender or die!

Hello
Did you do it?
Hello
Greetings {playername}.
Goodbye.
Was your raid successful?
Yes! It was nothing I couldn't handle.
No
Good job. This is our first step towards the ressurection of the Illican Empire! Come back to me for harder challenges.
Hello
Yes!
The Illicans have been in this land for a millenia and drove us out of our homes and burned our farms! They have commited atrocities. One certain caravan carries a lot of gold. It happens to be traveling to us right now. Can you raid it for me and bring the gold to me for proof?
Yes. I will. For the glory of Illica!
No
Excellent!
Thank you for freeing me! I managed to steal the gold when the chaos started sir!
Thank you and good luck.
Here you go.
Goodbye then!
Who are you?
No one you want to know about.
We are under the protection of the Reich. What do you want?
I want to kill you for the glory of Illica!
Nevermind...
Hey
Yes in the name of Illica.
Fool! You do not know the power I possess. I have been chosen to destroy the Illican race.
Indeed. You told me that I could come back for more work. Is there anything else you would like me to do?
Of course! There is a local Reich lord in the area who has been hunting down Illicans without end. I want you to go and kill him. He is a cruel man with no loyalties except gold and greed. He will have some strong troops
Sounds good. I'll do it.
Maybe later.
Yes!
Not yet.
Great work! We are getting closer we shall be free soon. As promised your reward.
You've been causing a lot of trouble in the area. I will enjoy killing you.
I'd like to see you try.
Hello again
Have you killed them all yet?
Hello again
Are there any harder tasks for me to complete?
A harder task but maybe you can pass the time by defeating a certain dragon priest for me. He is near Voldeburg. What say you?
That's a good idea. I will do it.
No thanks. Maybe another time
Yes!
Not yet.
You are really doing us a big favor. The next task may not be so easy however. Here is the reward for now.
Have you defeated that monster yet?
I have.
Not yet.
Good job. I always knew you could do it.
I will gladly do it. What is the task?
There is a man by the name of Gunnarr. He has been dubbed the Illican killer and none of us have managed to fight him and win.
So you want me defeat him?
Indeed. He has ways to kill Illicans
I will do this.
No thanks. Maybe another time
You have quite a bounty on your head from the Reich. I will enjoy crushing your skull. For Wodin and Vanir!
I'd like to see you try.
Have you conquered the town yet?
Yes!
I am making the preperations.
I cannot thank you enough for what you have done! From now on
We have come to it at last. Your final task.
What is the task?
It has been many years since our conquerers have banished us and abused us. We are now fighting back - because of you Voldeburg.
So the time has come?
Indeed. You are our champion now. Fight well
Thank you.
I need to prepare first.
Hello. Can you tell me more about the lore of Illica?
Of course
Tell me about the general history.
We are a proud race or even the Third Legion I daresay. Our culture is rich and deep.
The Reichans came a few years ago built huge sprawling cities in our land and drove us out.
However our hero came in time. You helped us drive the Reich out and reclaim some of our land. For that we than you eternally. You will be remembered in our stories alongside our other great heroes like Zeladeck Myrians and Ha'beo.
Very interesting. Good bye.
Nevermind.
I would like to recruit some Illicans.
Farewell.
Of course! They all cost 150.
Actually
I would like to hire one Illican Hunter.
I would like to hire five Illican Hunters.
I would like to hire ten Illican Hunters.
I would like to hire twenty Illican Hunters.
That is too expensive.
Thank you. Goodbye for now.
Well done
Welcome back to Arendal. How is your quest going?
Hello there
Good luck on your quest.
The Dueler? Never heard of him. Go on
No thank you. I have something urgent to attend to.
Well I know very little about the Dueler himself. What I do know more about is his...weapon.
A weapon? What kind
A sword though I have never seen it myself is supposed to be one of the finest pieces of craftsmanship to ever exist in Perisno; its speed and the Dueler's own skill making him nigh invincible in combat.
Interesting. Where can I find out more about the Dueler and this rapier of his?
The dueler holds godlike status among the trainers of Perisno who can be found the many training ground locations. They will probably know more about him than I do. Good luck.
Good news. I have the rapier.
No way! Do you mind if I...hold it?
Go ahead.
I'd rather you not.
Fantastic. It's so incredibly light
Fair enough
You're a very lucky {reg33?woman:man} to have gotten your hands on such a weapon. Take good care of it for me
Will do.
I am here to fight your men.
Actually
A question? Ask away.
I was told that you trainers hold a certain man with the utmost respect for his proficiency in combat. I was wondering if you could tell me a little more about this man
The Dueler? My my I can tell you a little more about him. However as I don't want this rather valuable information to fall into the wrong hands you must first prove your worth to me.
And how might I do that?
Excellent. Are you ready to begin?
Well I would start off easy and work you up the tiers of difficulty. Instead of doing that I will put you up against 3 of my finest fighters in a row and then I will tell you what you want to hear. Are you ready?
Yes I am.
Here you go then. Good luck.
Just a minute. I am not ready yet.
Hey
Well done
It was on that day that this man approached my training field. He did not give a name so thereafter we simply reffered to him as 'the Dueler' for reasons that will soon become apparent.
The moment he began to spar I knew there was something different about him. It was his flawless technique maybe even the sun dancing off that fancy sword of his- it was incredible. I even threw uneven matchups against him even outnumbered twelve to one he managed to dodge and slash and parry his way to victory.
Soon my men had all but collapsed from exhaustion sheathing his narrow sword turned and departed with nothing but a nod in my direction.
My account of the Dueler is one of many among trainers in Perisno and good luck in your quest.
Oh
I beg your pardon
Pardon me
I don't want to disrupt your work
My apologies.
Alright then
I was told this library houses a compilation of information about a man named the Dueler?
Ah as I was actually about to return it to the library. I had planned on reading it but was sidetracked by my newfound interest in Tolranian political history.
Did you know that Nibor Hood is the brother of the Tolranian claimant Lady Tylora? How fascinating!
Anyway until you find what you need. So long.
I'm here to return the book you kindly lent me.
Unfortunately
Excellent! I was beginning to worry that you weren't going to bring it back.
I made some notes here and there
You...you wrote in a library book!? How could you defile such a delicately assembled compilation of information! Besides
You lost the book!? Gah...the library will want at least 1000 aurums for losing such a valuable piece of information.
Right
Fine. Now leave me to my studies
I don't have that kind of money.
Well
You've far exceeded my expectations {reg33?Lady:Lord} {playername}. I will be sure to spread the word of your great accomplishment on this day.
You've far exceeded my expectations {reg33?Lady:Lord} {playername}. I will be sure to spread the word of your great accomplishment on this day.
He's a tough one isn't he? I hope you learned a lesson or two about...humility among other things.
That was very impressive however; the Dueler's talent cannot be compared to the men you just fought. Are you sure you still want to do this?
Are you ready to take him on again?
Hmm...as I suspected
Are you ready?
Hello again. So what did you want from the Dueler?
Good day friend. How can I help you?
Anything else?
That's not...THE Dueler
Are you currently running any tournaments?
Oh I'm just looking around
Unfortunately
Ah you've found the place that he and his apprentices train.
He prefers Qaletaqa because few Perisno mainlanders dare to venture out into the Aroulian jungle
So however I'm sure he'd be willing to listen to someone with your level of determination.
I am here to challenge the Dueler to a duel.
Who exactly is the Dueler?
I'll be back in a little bit.
You want to...duel him? I don't mean to be rude
Nobody knows for sure who he is or where he comes from however his accent sounded like nothing I had ever heard before.
Other than that he is not from Perisno better than anyone I've ever seen.
Take your time.
I'll be just fine. I'm ready to fight.
On second though
Well I won't put you up against the Dueler right away. First
Are you ready?
Let's go.
Let me reorder my party first.
I'm ready.
Give me some time to recover from that last fight.
[He doesn't seem to hear you]
...
So I have been defeated.
It was only a matter of time before my craft with the sword was bested by a challenger.
I suppose you have more right than I to train these men. Take care of them for me.
I also feel obliged to give you something else
This rapier is made of precious Parandovan titanium
It was given to me for becoming the most skilled fighter in Parandova
It is now my duty to give the rapier to you
You are a most gracious opponent. Thank you for this gift.
I can't accept such a valuable treasure of your people.
You are generous to decline
Farewell
I would be glad to take upon myself a special mission.
A mission? {playername} I have a gift for you that I planned to delever to you for quite some time. Please accept it as a sign of our friendship.
Could you perhaps do me a small favor but alas war has called and I cannot deliver the beast. Can you convey the animal to him in my stead?
Agree...
Very well
Here is the wolf or fail to deliver it in time you'll have only yourself to blame for what follows.
Refuse...
I am honored to hear that you would wish to bestow such an important task upon me... But alas
The decision is yours. I shall find myself another who can aid me in this.
Well hello
And who are you to ask that?
Who am I? Why at your service. -- And the keeper of this road too.
What is that supposed to mean?
No need for rude words now.
In the cart be arms
Then we shall just have to see about that...
I believe not my eyes! What a treasure you have here
{reg33?madame:sir}
What a beautiful strange beast! But it is taking a great risk take this for your troubles.
I don't have any work for you.
What have you discovered?
Greetings
It's time to pull you out. Let's leave town separately
You're doing good work. Stay here for a little longer
{s11} I notice that you have been keeping some notes about individual lords. I have annotated those with my findings.
Which fief did you have in mind?
{s11}
Never mind -- there is no fief I can offer.
{s5}
Let's leave whenever you are ready.
Please do not waste any more of my time today
{s5}
{s6}
{s7}
{s5}

Unfortunately
{s6}
{s7}
.
{s5}
{s6}
Sorry. I can't afford that at the moment.
We meet again.
So... What have you been doing since our last encounter?
Good day to you.
Yes?
My apologies if I was rude
Never mind.
{s5}
I might be able to use you in my company.
I'll let you know if I hear of anything.
Good! Give me a few moments to prepare and I'll be ready to move.
My offer to rejoin you still stands
It is good to see you alive and I did not know whether you had been captured or slain or got away. I've been roaming around since then looking for you. Shall I get my gear together and rejoin your company?
I've come to break you out of here.
Thank the heavens you came! However
{s5}
It is good to see you I had hoped to run into you.
{s5}. Would you want me to rejoin your company?
Welcome back
Sorry
Well... Look me up if you change your mind
So... Do you want me back yet?
There is a matter which needs your attention. The quarrel between {s11} and {s12} has escalated to a point where it has become unseemly. If you do intervene if you do nothing you risk appearing weak. Such are the burdens of kingship {reg33?my lady:sire}.
{s1} currently does not have a lord. You may wish to keep it this way but for the time being no one is collecting any of its rents.
At this point sire that I am not very skilled in the ways of politics and that I am anxious to return to private life. If you wish to issue any but the most basic directives I suggest appointing a trusted companion in my stead. In the meantime is there anything you wish done?
If I may offer you a world of advice it seems that your right to rule as an independent monarch is not sufficiently recognized and this may bring us problems further down the road. It may be advisable to find another kingdom with whom you have shared interests and seek its recognition to establish yourself as an equal with Perisno's other kings.
At this point
Is there anything you wish done?
Do you have any ideas to strengthen our kingdom's unity?
I have the materials for {s4}'s gift.
Ah and see if I had any success.
Let's abandon our plan to {s10}.
Are you sure you want to drop that idea?
Yes
Actually
I wish to dispatch an emissary.
I wish to indict a disloyal vassal for treason.
I wish to replace {s4} as marshal.
I wish to appoint a new marshal.
You have just made such an appointment there will be great confusion. We will need to wait a few days.
I wish for you to retire as minister.
I wish you to rejoin my party.
I wish to grant a fief.
I wish to make myself lord of {s4}.
As you wish. You shall be lord of {s4}.
Hello {s0}. If it's fine with you
Fine
I want you to recruit different troops.
My current task is to recruit {reg1} {s1} troops for you. Should I recruit different soldiers from now on?
No
{s11}.
Recruit any troops.
Sure {s0}. I will. Anything else you want?
Greetings. Sorry but I don't have time to talk now. I am delivering a very important message to {s6}.
Alright
Thank you. Farewell!
Greetings
Greetings
Please patrol a new area.
Where should we go?
{s11}.
Nevermind.
As you wish
Thank you.
Wait
I need you to reinforce a garrison.
Where should we go?
Nevermind.
As you wish
Thank you.
Wait
I want to give some troops to you.
Well
I don't need you any longer. Please disband.
Please continue.
Greetings. I am currently delivering {s12} to {s13}.
Very well! Have a nice trip.
Thank you. Farewell!
Sire
Ok
{reg33?Milady:Milord}?
Do you need anything else
Let's talk about domestic policy.
As you wish
I wish to select the kingdom's culture.
The {s0} of the {s11} would be unlikely to accept the imposition of other culture.
{s11}. Do you want to change it?
{s11}. ({reg20}K aurums)
Falcon. (500K aurums)
Perisno. (Free)
Favor no culture over others. (Free)
Make no change.
Please give me information about the domestic policy of a kingdom.
About which kingdom do you need information?
{s10}.
None.
{s4} {s5} {s6} {s7} {s0}
Let's change our domestic policy.
Nevermind.
{s4} {s5} {s6} {s7} {s0} What do you want to change?
{s4} {s5} {s6} {s7} {s0} We can only change the policy every {reg1} days
Bring more people into serfdom.
I want more freedom for the people.
Let's centralize the decisions.
Grant increased autonomy to local authorities.
Give the nobles more power.
Give the merchants and trade guilds more power.
Manage the economy more actively to increase production and maximize exports.
Reduce the crown's role in managing industry and commerce.
Never mind.
I will initiate all necessary steps.
Please give me some information about a lord.
Where is he from?
{s11}.
Never mind.
About which lord do you want information?
{s1}.
About no one.
{s47}
What's the mood of the lords regarding the fief of {s4}?
{s10}
Please send a message to another lord.
To whom do you like to send the message?
{s1}.
Nevermind.
I can't think of anyone.
What do you want to tell {s6}?
Ask {reg4?her:him} if {reg4?she:he} is willing to accompany me in the field.

Ask {reg4?her:him} if {reg4?she:he} is willing to besiege a location.
Ask {reg4?her:him} if {reg4?she:he} is willing to raid around a location.
Never mind.
Where do you order {reg4?her:him}?
{s1}
Nowhere.
Of course

Thank you.
I changed my mind.
Please send a gift.
We don't have enough money in our treasury to send a gift! It will cost us 50 aurums to send a gift.
Sending a gift will cost us 50 aurums. I will withdraw the money from the treasury. Do you want to send your gift to a person or a settlement?
To a person.

Send some fish.
Send some cheese.

Thank you.
Never mind.
Let us check our household possessions.
You should store all important things in the household.
I would like to take a look through the items in my secondary storage houses.
I no longer need your services.
Are you sure that you don't need me anymore?
Yes I am.
As you wish.
No I am not.
Farewell!
Always at your service!
Do you need anything else
How goes the war?
{s12}
Tell me more about the war with {s1}.
That's all I wanted to know. Thank you.
I want information about a settlement.
We can send a spy which will cost you 300 aurums. Where do you want to send the spy?
I changed my mind.
Which settlement do you want to spy out?

Can you train some recruits
Of course

Neither.
If you want I can hire additional trainers so we can train the recruits faster and better. This will cost 10 aurums extra per day.
Yes
No
Alright make sure we have enough money in the treasury to pay the equipment{s13}.
I changed my mind
Please stop training the recruits in {s11}.
As you wish.
I want to recruit new soldiers.
We need a treasury to recruit new soldiers. You have to appoint a chamberlain first.
You have already hired the maximum amount of {reg0?4:2} recruiters from this {reg0?town:castle}.
If you want which is 2 for castles and 4 for towns. What kind of recruits do you want?

Oh nothing
I want to hire a new staff member.
What sort of staff member would you like to hire?
I want to appoint a constable.
I assume you will want to rehire your former constable Miles de Gloucester?  His rate is still 15 aurums each week
I have heard good things about a local nobleman by the name of Miles de Gloucester though. The appointment will cost us 20 aurums.
That's a wise idea. May I suggest a very capable nobleman and friend of my family? His name is Miles de Gloucester. He demands 15 aurums each week
So be it.
Maybe later.
Maybe later.
I will send him a letter he should arrive at the court soon.
I will send him a letter he should arrive at the court soon.

{s66}
Oh which fief do you have in mind?
Never mind.
So you think you can't fulfill your promise and manage {s11}?
Yes I want to give up on {s11}.
No
{s66}
How can you dare? Who do you think you are? Get out of my sight!
Against whom?
{s11}
Never mind
Why should I declare war against the {s11}?
They are weaker and we can easily beat them.
We can't tolerate their provocations any longer.
They are already in war and currently distracted.
It's the right time to attack.
We should get back our lost land.
I mentioned all reasons for war. Please think about it!
I need to think about that in peace and quiet.
Well
Gird your {s0} we are going to war against {s11}.
No
I have done my share with your family
What did you say?.
I do not want to be related to your house anymore.
Oh nothing.
You dare stand and face me to declaim your disavowal ! Well {playername}. Each will condemn you in all conscience... but since I avouched your phoney allegiance I will personally report to the Perisno noblemen about your frivolous plot.
I have great respect for your lineage
I {reg0?like you well enough:have nothing against you} so I will not sponsor you.
Not a chance. Since I dislike you
Please Sire
On second thought
Maybe I have not good enough appraisal from my family about you. Or maybe I just need some time to get used to the idea. Let's talk further about it next week.
I am honored and grateful to be affiliated with your family.
You have pledged allegiance to our family always protect it.
I want to move our residence.
To move our residence will require a small refurbishment. In particular
Ok
Well
Where do you want to move the residence?
{s6}.
I changed my mind.
Are you sure that you want to move your residence to {s6}?
Yes
No.
As you wish
Threaten them with war and see what you can squeeze out of them.
Well at last I've found you. I have returned from my mission to {s31}.
They paid {s21} aurums and are expecting that you leave them alone. I agreed on a truce of 40 days.
They send you a declaration of war.
They are not willing to fold facing your threats.
I want to send a gift.
We can send them some excellent horses from the best horse breeder in our kingdom or we can hand over a fief.
We currently only have the option to hand over a fief since we don't have a chamberlain.
Send horses for 3000 aurums.
Send horses for 6000 aurums.
Hand over a fief
Never mind.
Which fief do you want to hand over?
{s1}
Very well -- I shall send {s11} to the {s12} to {s14}.
Well at last I've found you. I have returned from my mission to {s31}. They were agreeably surprised.
I wish to exchange a prisoner.
Which prisoner do you want to exchange?
Unfortunately
{s10} of {s11}
Nobody.
Which of our lords do you like to you want to set free?
{s10}.
Nobody.
Who shall negotiate the exchange?
Well at last I've found you.They agreed to exchange {s32} for {s33}. {s33} has accompanied me back here. Do you want to set {s32} free?
Yes set {reg4?her:him} free.
No don't set {reg4?her:him} free.
Well at last I've found you. They didn't agree to exchange {s32} for {s33}.
I want to persuade a lord of joining our kingdom.
Your emissary can't go with empty hands we have to offer a fief. Which one do you want to offer?
Unfortunately
{s11}
Never mind -- there is no fief I can offer.
Where does the lord live you want to persuade?
{s11}
Nowhere.
Who shall be convinced?
{s11}
I can't think of anyone.
Who shall I send? You should choose one who has skills in persuasion!
Very well -- I shall send {s11} to {s12} to persuade {s13} and offer {reg4?her:him} {s14}.
Well at last I've found you. I have returned from my persuasion mission to {s30}. {s14} doesn't want to join you. {reg0?She:He} said: {s40}
Well at last I've found you. I have returned from my persuasion mission to {s31}. {s14} agreed to join you.
I wish to spy out another kingdom.
To whom do you wish to send this spy?
Unfortunately
{s11}{s14}
Who shall be your spy? You should choose one whom you trust - and who has skills in spotting!
Well at last I've found you. I have returned from my reconnaissance mission to {s31}. About which location do you need information?
My we were caught  off  guard and they got {s11}. I barely escaped.
{s60}
{s4} {s3} and there are {s31} troops around.
Do you need information about another location?
Never mind.
Tell {s10} that I want to form an alliance with him.
Well at last I've found you. I have returned from my mission to {s31}.
{s4} is willing to form an alliance with you.
Very well - let this alliance with {s4} be concluded.
On second thought
{s4} is not willing to form an alliance with you.
Tell {s10} that I want to conclude a defensive pact with {reg0?her:him}.
Well at last I've found you. I have returned from my mission to {s31}.
{s4} is willing to form a defensive pact with you.
Very well - let this defensive pact with {s4} be concluded.
On second thought
{s4} is not willing to conclude a defensive pact with you.
Tell {s10} that I want to sign a trade agreement with {reg0?her:him}.
Well at last I've found you. I have returned from my mission to {s31}.
{s4} is willing to sign a trade agreement with you.
Very well - let's sign the trade agreement with {s4}.
On second thought
{s4} is not willing to sign a trade agreement.
Tell {s10} that I want to conclude a non-aggression treaty with {reg0?her:him}.
Well at last I've found you. I have returned from my mission to {s31}.
{s4} is willing to conclude a non-aggression treaty with you.
Very well - let this non-aggression treaty with {s4} be concluded.
On second thought
{s4} is not willing to conclude a non-aggression treaty with you.
That I want {reg0?her:him} to help me and attack {s11}{s14}.
Well at last I've found you. I have returned from my mission to {s31}.
{s4} is willing to start a war with {s31}.
{s4} is willing to start a war with {s31} but needs {reg1} aurums to prepare {reg0?her:his} army.
Pay {reg1} aurums from the treasury and tell {reg0?her:him} to start the war.
On second thought
{s4} is not willing to start a war with {s31}.
{s12} says that {reg4?she:he} is willing to consider a truce of twenty days if you pay {reg4?her:him} {reg0} aurums.
{s12} says that {reg4?she:he} is willing to consider a truce of twenty days if you yield to {reg4?her:his} terms. Either you pay {reg0} aurums or you pay {reg1} aurums and give {reg4?her:him} {s18}.

Pay {reg1} aurums and give {reg4?her:him} {s18} let this truce with the {s4} be concluded
Give {reg0?her:him} {s18} let this truce with the {s4} be concluded
On second thought
That is all for now.
Who should be the new marshal?
I shall be marshal
For a short while
{s4}
Never mind
To whom do you wish to send this emissary?
Unfortunately
{s10} of the {s11}{s14}
Never mind
What do you wish to tell {reg0?her:him}?
That our two kingdoms should enter into truce.
That I wish to put myself under {reg0?her:his} protection
That I wish to express my goodwill
That I declare war upon {reg0?her:him}.
Never mind
For that you should first speak to {s0}.
I might go do so.
Never mind.
{s12}
It is. I wish to make war on {s12}.
Hmm. Perhaps not.
As you command. We are now at war with the {s12}. May the heavens grant us victory.
Who shall be your emissary? You should choose one whom you trust
{s11}
Actually
Yes
Actually
Very good. Whom will you appoint in my stead?
{s4}
My {reg0?wife:husband}
{s4}.
Actually
Very good. {s9} is your new minister. I shall make ready to rejoin you.
Very good. {s9} is your new minister. It has been an honor to serve you.
Which of your fiefs did you wish to grant?{s12}
{s1}{s12}
Never mind
And who will you choose to receive the fief?{s12}
Never mind
Very well - {s2} shall receive {s1}.
Grim news
{s11}
Never mind.
Think carefully on this you may find that others become nervous about serving you. On the other hand if you truly believe that {reg4?she:he} is about to betray you then perhaps it is best to move first to secure control of {reg4?her:his} fortresses.
I have thought long enough. Issue the indictment!
Perhaps I should wait a little while longer..
It has been sent
{s11}. {s1}
{s12}I want to have {s1} for myself. (fiefs: {s0})
{s66}
As you wish
Hmmm. All right
Excuse me {s5} -- there is something I need to tell you.
It has been good travelling with you
Farewell
Perhaps I can persuade you to change your mind.
Hm.  I suppose I can afford to put it off a bit longer.
I'm sorry
Farewell
I appreciate that you took me on maybe find another job I haven't decided yet.
To tell you the truth
Very well. You be off
Perhaps I can persuade you to change your mind.
Very well
I'm listening.
We've had some good times.  Things might not be going to your liking now
Would {reg0} aurums convince you to remain a while longer?
Actually
Hm. When you put it like that see if things improve.
Hm. When you put it like that see if things improve.
I'm sorry
CHEAT -- We hang deserters in this company.
I believe I misheard you.  You certainly could not have been threatening me.
Oh... Right... Do you mean that?
Absolutely. You either leave this company by my command
No
Then this is goodbye. Perhaps I'll see you around
Hm. I suppose I'm staying
{s5}
Thanks
Hopefully it won't happen again.
Your objection is noted. Now fall back in line.
{s5}
{s5}
{s11} is a valuable member of this company. I don't want you picking any more fights with {reg11?her:him}.
Tell {s11} you have my support in this
I don't have time for your petty dispute. Do not bother me with this again.
{s5}
{s5}
{s11} is a capable member of this company. I don't want you picking any more fights with {reg11?her:him}.
Tell {s11} you have my support in this
I don't have time for your petty dispute. Do not bother me with this again.
{s5}
{s5}
Very good.
{s5}
Thank you.
I would prefer not to discuss such things.
{s5}
Tell me more.
We don't have time to chat just now.
I prefer my companions not to bother me with such trivialities.
{s5}
{s5}
{s6}
It was an honour to fight for your cause
You will always have my loyal support
I will miss living this life of adventure with you {playername}.I hope I'll see you again soon.
Greetings
Well at last I've found you. I've been out spreading the word about your claim and am now ready to rejoin the company.
Well at last I've found you. {s11}. The rest of my report I submit to you in writing.
Well at last I've found you. I have returned from my mission to {s31}. In general I would say {s14}. Nevertheless I tried to convince {reg0?her:him}.
In this letter which implies some sort of recognition that you are a sovereign and independent monarch.
In {reg0?her:his} letter omitting any title. This does not constitute recognition of your right to rule. The letter implies that {reg0?she:he} is unwilling to extend recognition due to your lack of a court.
In {reg0?her:his} letter omitting any title. This does not constitute recognition of your right to rule. The letter implies that {reg0?she:he} is unwilling to extend recognition due to your occupation of {s0}.
In this letter referring to you only as {s0}'s faithful vassal. This does not constitute recognition of your right to rule.
In {reg0?her:his} letter omitting any title. This does not constitute recognition of your right to rule.
{s12} says that your current truce should suffice.
{s12} says that {reg0?she:he} is willing to consider a truce of twenty days.
{s12} says that {reg0?she:he} is unwilling to conclude a peace.
Very well - let this truce with the {s4} be concluded.
On second thought
{s12} says that you are already pledged to another ruler.
{s12} says that {reg0?she:he} does not believe that you would honor your obligations as a vassal
{s12} says that {reg0?she:he} accepts your offer of vassalage. {reg0?She:He} will give you 20 days to seek {reg0?her:him} out
Tell {reg0?her:him} that I accept {reg0?her:his} terms...
Welcome back
Unfortunately
As you wish. I will take care of some business
Would you have me rejoin you?
There! I can see the walls of {s3} in the distance. We've made it safely.Here as I promised. I hope we can travel together again someday.
My {reg33?lady:lord} as soon as there is an opportunity to hold a proper feast.{s12}
My {reg33?lady:lord} we can proceed to the feast at {s4} to exchange vows before the lords of the realm.
My {reg33?lady:lord}
My {reg33?lady:lord} in any great hall that is open to us.
My {reg33?lady:lord}
My {reg33?lady:lord}
My {reg33?lady:lord} I vow to take you as my {reg33?wife:husband} to honor cherish and {reg33?protect:obey} you. My the heavens bless us with health prosperity and children.
I vow to take you as my {reg65?wife:husband}.
Wait -- I need to think about this.
We are now husband and wife. Let the festivities commence!
Very well. You've made your point. I have nothing more to say.
Well do not trouble yourself to rise from the ground as I would simply have to knock you down again. I shall take your silence as an apology. Good day to you.
Very well. You've made your point. I retract what I said. I hope you have obtained satisfaction.
Hah! Not so gallant now
Very well -- you have won. Let all those present today witness that you have defeated me you heartless {reg33?bitch:bastard}?
Get up. Let all those present today witness that I have defeated you to make your farewells. After that if you persist in attempting to see {reg0?her:him} everyone shall know that you are a {reg33?woman:man} of scant honor.
What do you want?
Surrender! Your situation is hopeless!
Nothing. I'll leave you now.
Perhaps... Do you give your word of honour that we'll be treated well?
We are ready to leave this castle to you and march away if you give me your word of honour that you'll let us leave unmolested.
The {s0} will never abandon {s1}!
Surrender? Hah! We can hold these walls until we all die of old age.
I give you nothing. Surrender now or prepare to die!
{reg33?Bitch:Bastard}. We will fight you to the last man!
You will be ransomed and your soldiers will live. I give you my word.
Very well then. Under those terms
You have my word. You will not come under attack if you leave the castle.
Very well. Then we leave this castle to you. You have won this day. But we'll meet again.
Unacceptable. I want prisoners.
Then we will defend this castle to the death
I've come to get you out of here
Never mind -- just stay quiet
Thank the heavens! I don't know how long I could have lasted in here
But wait -- how will we escape? We'll be rushed by the garrison the moment we step out that door. I can help you hold them off -- but I'll tell you now and I'm not as strong as I could be.
You keep well behind me
I'll need you to grab a weapon and help me
Actually
Let's go!{s14}
I am in your debt for freeing me
You're not going anywhere
I'll have your head on a pike for this
You are free to go wherever you want
Thank you
{s43}
You are my prisoner now.
I am at your mercy.
You have fought well. You are free to go.
{s43}
{playername}!
Halt!
{s42}
{s43}
We will fight you to the end!
Stay your hand! There is something I must tell you in private.
Is there no way to avoid this battle? I don't want to fight with you.
Don't attack! We surrender.
I owe you a favor
If you pay me {reg0} aurums cash I will let you go
Don't attack! I pay.
Let's fight!
{s43}
{s43}
{s9}
{s9}
{s9}
{s9}
I await your counsel
Do I know you?.
My name is {playername}. At your service.
I am {playername}. Perhaps you have heard of my exploits.
{s48}
I thought {s12} was ruled by {s11}?
Greetings
What was your story again
I shall tell you.
{s48}
{s48}
{s48}
I want to take up your cause and help you reclaim your throne!
I must leave now.
Are you sure you will be up to the task and we can expect some of the {s0} to side with us but it will be a very tough and challenging struggle ahead.
{s11}
I am ready for this struggle.
You are right. Perhaps
I have no doubt that your support for my cause is heartfelt and I am grateful to you for it.But I don't think we have much of a chance of success.If you can gain renown in the battlefield and make a name for yourself as a great commander then our friends would not hesitate to join our cause and our enemies would be wary to take up arms against us. When that time comes I will come with you gladly.But until that time it will be wiser not to openly challange the usurper {s11}.
Haven't you already taken up the cause of {s17}?You must have a very strong sense of justice thank you. I will not be part of your game.
{playername} I cannot allow you to take up my cause and let my enemies claim that I am but a mere puppet of {s16}.No if I am to have the throne of {s17} I must do it due to the righteousness of my cause and the support of my subjects alone.If you want to help me you must first free yourself of your oath to {s15}.
You are a monarch in your own right I would be merely your puppet.
You are a capable warrior and I am sure with your renown as a commander and my righteous cause the nobles and the good people of {s12} will flock to our support.The time is ripe for us to act! I will come with you and together we will topple the usurper {s11} and take the throne from {reg0?her:his} bloodied hands.But first you must give me your oath of homage and accept me as your liege {reg65?lady:lord}.
I am ready to pledge myself to your cause
Let us bide our time a little longer.
Forward
Farewell for now
I heard that you have befriended that {s43} called {s6}.Believe me
I assure you I am no friend of {s6}.
Glad news be on your guard and don't believe a word.
{s6} is an honourable {reg0?woman:man}
As you like but a loyal fool at the least. {s6}'s loyalty may not be so steadfast however...
I don't want to be involved in your quarrel with {s6}.
Hmph. As you wish and you'll never make any if you never stand with anyone.
Yes
It is good to see you
Great to see you again if you don't mind my advice there is something I've been meaning to tell you...
Yes
Well and will welcome you into my realm with full honor as one of my vassals. Shall we proceed to the oath of allegiance?
Yes... my lord.
No. That oath sticks in my throat.
{playername} I keep hearing such tales of prowess and bravery that my mind was quickly made up.I knew that I had found someone worthy of becoming my vassal.
Thank you you honour me with your offer.
It is good to have my true value recognised.
Aye. Let us dispense with the formalities
Yes
No
My {reg33?lady:lord}
Yes. I would.
Let me think about this some more.
No. I have decided that it would not be appropriate
Of course
Do you mean to reject my suit outright
Yes. I do.
No
Well let me tell you something -- with those harsh words you have removed the scales from my eyes. I would agree that it would not be appropriate for me to marry one such as you. Good day my {reg33?lady:lord}.
Such is your right I would be overwhelmed with joy.
My {reg33?lady:lord}
My {reg33?lady:lord}
If it isn't my brave champion
Good to see you again {playername}...
We meet again
Do I know you?
I am {playername}.
My name is {playername}. At your service {reg65?madame:sir}.
{s11}
{s43}
I am {playername}
They know me as {playername}. Mark it down
{s8}
{s42}
Splendid work or others like them will soon be back but for a short while you have bought this land a small respite. We are most grateful to you.
Well I guess that at least some of those brigands eluded you -- and of course it will be the peaceful travellers of this land who will pay the price. Still it was good of you to try.
Your surgeon managed to convince my friend and made the operation.  The matter is in God's hands now I thank you for lending your surgeon to me {reg33?madam:sir}. You have a noble spirit. I will not forget it.
May the heavens witness that I am ready to give you my {s11} {s4}
It is good to see you as soon as we can all gather together for the feast.{s12}
It is no problem. I can wait.
I have no faith that this wedding will be concluded. Please return my dower.
Well if you indeed have no confidence in our family's commitments. Take your money.
Hah! Our little plot against {s3} worked perfectly and we are one step closer to bringing {reg0?her:him} to {reg0?her:his} knees.Here this purse contains {reg5} aurums and I wish you to have it. You deserve every copper.And need I remind you there could be much more to come if you've a mind to earn it...
You werent't able to complete a simple task. I had set up everything.The only thing you needed to do was sacrifice a messenger you were too damned honorable weren't you?
Have you brought me any news about that task I gave you? You know the one I mean...
I have the reports you wanted right here.
Ahh
Brilliant work the nobles of the {s13} are clamoring for war!Soon the time will come for us to reap the benefits of our hard work from fields ripe for plunder.This war is going to make us rich mark my words!
I'm told that you've collected the money owed me from {s7}. Good eh?Well that makes {reg3} aurums so if you give me my share -- that's {reg4} aurums -- you can keep the rest.
Of course all here.
I must admit I'm impressed
I am afraid I don't have the money with me sir.
Is this a joke?I know full well that {s7} gave you the money {reg33?madam:sir}.As far as I'm concerned I hold you personally in my debt until I see that silver.
I heard you got rid of that poxy merchant that was causing me so much grief.I can see you're not afraid to get your hands dirty {playername} stick with me and we'll go a long long way together.
Oh how exactly does one lose a simple fight to some poxy lowborn merchant?Truly if I ever need my guardsmen to take a lesson in how to lay down and die I'll be sure to come to you.Just leave me be {playername} I have things to do.
You! Do you have sawdust between your ears? Did you think that when I said to kill the merchant
Sir
Piffle. You were supposed to remove him or you'll both regret it.Here this is half the money I promised you. Don't say a word {playername} you're lucky to get even that.I have little use for {reg33?women:men} who cannot follow orders.
Beautiful work just as I'd hoped and the pair are now safely ensconced in my dungeon waiting to be questioned.My torturer shall be busy tonight! Anyway I'm very pleased with your success {playername} and I give youthis purse as a token of my appreciation.
Blast and damn you! I wanted TWO prisoners it was the handler I was after.Here half a job gets you half a reward. Take it and begone.
I asked you for two prisoners not one. Two. Still I suppose you did capture the spy's handler the more important one of the pair. The spy will not dare return here and will prove quite useless towhatever master {reg0?she:he} served. 'Tis better than nothing.However you'll understand if I pay you half the promised reward for what is but half a success.
Truly you are nothing short of totally incompetent.Failing to capture both the spy AND {reg0?her:his} handler plumbs astonishing new depths of failure.Forget any reward I offered you. You've done nothing to earn it.
I did my best
Thank you
Hrm. As you like
Splendid work properly cowed and they're busy preparing for the harvest.You certainly earned your reward. Here take it with my compliments.
{playername}. I have been waiting patiently for my serfs or are you merely incompetent?Or perhaps you are plotting with my enemies intending to ruin me...
Forgive me those serfs were slippery as eels.
Perhaps if you had treated them better...
Hmph {playername}.Now if you will excuse me I need to recruit new men to work these fields before we all starve.
Hah traitor! Your words match your actions all too well. I should never have trusted you.
You disappoint me {playername} I'll only pay you for the serfs you returned not the ones you let fly.Here. Take it and let this business be done.
Thank you
Bah
{playername} let me pay the expenses of your campaign. Here I hope these {reg14} aurums will be adequate.
Not a problem
Glad to be of service.
It was mere child's play.
Damn it and thanks to you my village now lies in ruins.Everyone said that you were a capable warrior but appearently they were wrong.
Ah {reg13} heads of cattle as I requested. I'm impressed.
Not a problem
Glad to be of service.
Mere child's play.
You make a good scout {s14} and {s15}. Well done.
A simple task
Nothing I couldn't handle.
My pleasure
The army's supplies are dwindling too quickly just bring them to me as soon as you can.
Very well
Sorry I have other plans.
Excellent! You know what to do now get to it. I need that cattle sooner rather than later.
That . . . is unfortunate I've work to do.
Thank you for answering the summons as we are now at peace we do not need your services. You may attend to your other business.
Ah {playername}. We've been expecting you. I hope you have brought with you troops of sufficient number and experience.
I have a company of good
I don't have the sufficient number of troops yet. I will need some more time.
Excellent. We'll be moving soon. Now -- you are a {reg33?warrior:man} of sound judgement and I will not count it against you if you believe that your forces would be of better use elsewhere. But if you do choose to remain with me to support me in battle that would be appreciated. I may also have additional tasks for you to perform.
Then you'd better hurry. We'll be moving out soon against the enemy and I need every able hand we can muster.
{playername} and I simply must have a better picture of the situation before we can proceed.I want you to go to {s13} {s14} and {s15} and report back whatever you find.
You've found your volunteer
I fear I must decline.
Good {reg33?lass:man}! Simply pass near {s13}
Hm. I'm disappointed I need to go and find somebody to scout for us.
You have been most helpful
It was an honour to serve.
I think you owe me {reg1} aurums
That is why I came every aurum I owe you.
Alas {s65}. But I'll pay you soon enough.
Ah {playername}. I am satisfied. Your debt to me has been paid in full.
Well
By the way {s14}. 
By the way {s14} would be delighted were you to pay {reg0?her:him} a visit. {reg0?She:He} awaits you in {reg0?her:his} chambers.
I heard that you have captured our enemy {s3} and {reg0?she:he} is with you at the moment.I can pay you {reg6} aurums for {reg0?her:him} if you want to get rid of {reg0?her:him}.You can wait for {reg0?her:his} family to pay {reg0?her:his} ransom of course eh?
I accept your offer. I'll leave {s3} to you for {reg6} aurums.
I fear I can't accept your offer.
Excellent! Here's your {reg6} aurums.I'll send some men to take him to our prison with due haste.
Mmm. As you wish but you'll not get a better offer. Take it from me.
I lift a {s5} to your health what is it?
To your health
What is your bidding?
I wish to welcome you to my hall on this auspicious occasion. Now
Let us lift a {s5} to the health of our host what is it?
I have the materials for {s4}'s gift.
My {reg65?lady:lord} -- there is something I wish to tell you in confidence
Whatever you have to say
What is it? I value your opinion
My liege -- {s4} is widely held by your vassals to be {s5}
Actually never mind.
Hmm... This is troubling to hear. Although I do not encourage my vassals to speak ill of each other
Sew discord among my vassals do you think I appreciate my nobles turning on each other like quarreling dogs? Let me ask you this -- did someone put you up this?
I stand by my words
Yes
Indeed. You may stand by your words
I thought as much. Here's some advice for you enough of this.
I want to tell you something -- we have had enough of your {s4} ways
I'm sorry... What did you say?
You heard me. You will {s4}
Never mind. You must have misheard me.
Why would you say such a thing? To insult me like this than the sword of a sworn foe. I do not know what game you are playing but I want no part of it. Go away. I do not want to look at you.
Hmf. Really? Is that your opinion and take your intrigues with you.
I will not have you shame me in public or meet me on the duelling ground.
Is that so? Well and a {reg33?strumpet:knave} and -- if you don't meet me on the duelling ground -- a coward. What say you to that? Do you retract your words or shall we cross swords?
It would be a pleasure to fight you.
I spoke rashly. I retract my words.
I thought as much. Now
{s9}
But enough talking - yield or fight!
Anything else?
Anything else?
I wish to address your quarrel with {s11}
Stay your hand! There is something I must say to you in private.
I am hunting a group of bandits with the following description... Have you seen them?
{s15}
Who do you think should be made the marshal of our realm?
Who do you think should receive the fief of {s4}?
I need you to renounce your allegiance to {s4} and join the {s5} now
Ask me again when we are outside of these walls
I must remain loyal to {s14}. I am sorry.
As you wish
There is a matter which I would like to discuss in private.
There is something which I would like to discuss with to you in private.
CHEAT -- Reset lord decision seed and intrigue impatience
CHEAT -- Let's duel (insult)
Hah! I admire a quick tongue. Perhaps some day I shall remove it to admire it at greater leisure but today at least I shall salute your wit and courage.
I meant no offense
Are you trying to provoke me? Well commoners rebels or brigands. I could however order my {reg1?{reg65?women:soldiers}:{reg65?soldiers:men}} to seize you and horsewhip you. Would you like them to do that?
Are you trying to provoke me? Well commoners rebels or brigands. However in your case I would be delighted to make an exception. Are you ready for a lesson in deference to your betters {reg33?girl:varlet}?
Are you trying to provoke me? Well commoners rebels or brigands. You are lucky that I am in a good mood because I am perfectly within my rights to order my {reg1?{reg65?women:soldiers}:{reg65?soldiers:men}} to seize you and horsewhip you. Now begone -- I have had enough of you.
I would like to see them try.
This is not worth the shedding of blood.
Enough of your insolence! At {reg33?her:him}
I am ready to teach you one.
This is not worth the shedding of blood.
So be it. Defend yourself!
{s14}
Ah then.
Whatever your differences
Could you not be convinced to settle your differences?
On second thought
I'm glad that you think so.
For the sake of our friendship
I will not reconcile with {s11}. I know my rights.
Let it be as though our quarrel never occurred.
I suppose that you should speak to {s11}
I had already made up my mind to support you.
I had already made up my mind to support {s4}.
I am unable to decide at this time
I support {s15}. {s10}
Let me tell you whom I support...
CHEAT -- Reset support
Whom do you support?
I would like to nominate myself for that honor
I support my {reg0?wife:husband}
I would support you
I would support your choice
Never mind
That is most gracious of you and I decline your support.
I do not trust you
That is most gracious of you
You may tell {reg3?her:him} that yourself. I do not trust you
Given your relation with {s4}
I will tell {s4}. {reg3?She:He} will no doubt be grateful for your support.
I support {s4}
Ah. Most interesting.
Can I convince you to support me instead?
Can I convince you to support someone else?
Can I convince you to support {s4}?
Whom did you have in mind?
Never mind.
{s4}
Given our relationship
Given your relation with {s4}
{s4} has engendered too much controversy for {reg3?her:him} to be a viable candidate right now.  I would advise {reg3?her:him} to wait a little while before seeking any further honors.
{s4} has already been well-rewarded with fiefs appropriate to {reg3?her:his} accomplishments
I think {s4} would need to prove {reg3?herself:himself} further before {reg3?she:he} is eligible for that position.
{s3} deserves to receive {s0} more than {s4}
I think {s4} would need to prove {reg3?herself:himself} further before {reg3?she:he} is eligible for that position.
{s1}
Hmm... That is too much to ask
I am sorry. I would not wish to strain my relationship with {s4}
I will gladly support {s4}.
Anyway
You have engendered too much controversy to be a viable candidate right now. I would advise you to wait a little while before seeking any further honors for yourself.
I am sorry. I would not wish to strain my relationship with {s4}
You have already been well-rewarded with fiefs appropriate to your accomplishments
I think you would need to prove yourself further before you are eligible for that position.
Hmm... That is too much to ask
I would support you with pleasure.
I am a bit weary of talking politics. Perhaps at a later date
{s12}
You have raised the standard of rebellion on behalf of {s16}. Have you come to plead {reg3?her:his} case?
I have
No
{s12}
{s12}
What do you think about kings lords and politics?
My {reg65?wife:husband}
{s9} has always been a good liege to me
I see no particular reason to abandon {s9}
Yes -- as a liege
I believe you should be {s1}
I am the rightful {s0} of Perisno
Never mind
I swore an oath to serve {s11}
I see no reason to turn my back on {s11} now.
Perhaps some day I should like for one of us to hold a fortress which could serve as our court before we declare ourselves publically.
While I do not contest your claim I should like for one of us to hold a fortress which could serve as our court before we declare ourselves publically.
{s11}
{s11}
I am ready now
Perhaps I am not yet ready.
Perhaps
Most of the great families of this land have a claim to the throne... Given the recent issues with the succession
While {s0} the conduct of diplomacy and other such matters.
Very well
Actually
{s43} Did you wish to speak of anything else?
How do you feel about {s15}?
Do you remember what I had told you earlier?
I have heard that you have quarreled with {s16}
It is no secret. {s14}
Never mind
{s12}
{s12}
Sometimes
Can't I persuade you to say a little more?
Ah. Very good.
If you put it that way
You try my patience. I said that I have nothing to say.
Well
Well
{s12}
Yes
Let me phrase that a little differently.
Yes?
Yes?
I ask for your support for the throne of Perisno
I ask you to pledge allegiance to my liege as monarch of all Perisno
Never mind
{s43}
{s43}
Neither of us has so much as a single fortress to our name. Would you rule your kingdom from an outlaw's den in the woods?
Why should I support {s44}?
{s43}
If {s45} were {s47}
If {s45} were {s47}
Because {s45} can unify Perisno and end this discord.
Because {s45} will reward you with lands.
Never mind
Do you perhaps tell each person what you think they most want to hear? {s12}
{s12}
{s12}
I ask you to pledge your allegiance to {s16}.
Never mind.
Let me think...
{s32}
{s31}
{s33}
{s34}
It is time for you to make a decision.
No need to decide anything -- we can speak of this at a later time.
Very well...
{s12}
Very well -- I am ready to pledge myself to {s4} as my {reg4?queen:king}.
Remember. You have promised me a fief. I will hold you to that promise.
So be it -- I pledge allegiance to you as your faithful vassal. I shall stand at your side to fight your enemies should you need my {s0}
So be it -- you may inform {s4} that I am now {reg4?her:his} faithful vassal and I will be at {reg4?her:his} side to fight {reg4?her:his} enemies should {reg4?she:he} need my {s0} and that I uphold {reg4?her:his} lawful claims and those of {reg4?her:his} legitimate heirs. In turn I expect {reg4?her:his} protection and {reg4?her:his} recognition of my rights as {reg4?her:his} vassal.
Now... It is a momentous step I have taken. I will take my leave
I received the gift {s0} and I regret that we ever quarreled.
I received the gift I am willing to let bygones be bygones.
I received the gift
I received the gift however I cannot forget our differences.
I did as you suggested
Yes honors or offices. We are grateful to you.
So you did -- and we have heard that {reg0?she:he} forced you to retract your words {reg33?my lady:sir} if my gratitude to you is somewhat muted.
I did as you asked
So we hear. Hopefully now {s5} will think twice before entrusting {reg0?her:him} with any additional fiefs or offices. We are grateful to you.
So we hear -- but alas we are grateful to you for trying.
I should like {s14} returned to me if you no longer require {reg3?her:his} services.
You've too many men in your company already
Certainly you're a lucky {reg33?woman:man} to have such worthy companions.
I've come to collect the debt you owe to {s1}.
Oh. Well but I've done {reg0?her:him} many favours in the past and I consider that money as my due payment.
{s1} considers it a debt. {reg0?She:He} asked me to speak to you on {reg0?her:his} behalf.
Then I will not press the matter any further.
My debt to {s8} has long been overdue and was a source of great discomfort to me.Thank you for accepting to take the money to {reg0?her:him}.Please give {reg0?her:him} these {reg10} aurums and thank {reg0?her:him} on my behalf.
Please it's time to end this war between {s12} and {s13}.
Eh? I'm not sure I heard you right and I have a very long memory.Why should I take any interest in brokering peace with those dogs?
Perhaps I can talk you into it...
Never mind
You... have convinced me you've my blessing to bring a peace offer to {s14}. I cannot guarantee they will accept it but on the off-chance they do I will stand by it.
I want you to take back your accusations against {s1}.
What accusations?Everyone knows that she beds her stable boys and anyone else she can lay hands on while her husband is away.I merely repeat the words of many.
You will recant these lies or prove them against my {s0}!
If you say so...
{s15}
Relinquish your suit of {s5}!
Or what? Do you intend to duel over a lady? I'll let you know -- our liege frowns on this sort of hot-headed challenge
Do you fear to fight me?
My pardon. I have spoken rashly...
Hello {playername}. what's that but now that I know.... well let's say that I shall look favourably on him when next we meet. Thank you {playername} thank you so much!
Hello {playername}. what's that or he get one of his stablehands to scrawl it? I have never been so insulted! If you see {s9} please tell him to keep his distance. Oaf!
I bring a message from {s9}.
Oh? Let me see that...Well well! It was good of you to bring me this {playername}. Take my seal as proof that I've received it and give my regards to {s9} when you see {reg4?her:him} again.
I bring a message from {s9}.
{s10}
I bring a message from {s9}.
Oh? Let me see that...Hmmm. It was good of you to bring me this with my thanks.
I bring a message from {s11}.
Can it be true?Oh {playername}! You have brought hope and some small ray of light to these bleak walls.Perhaps one day I will be able to repay you.
 'Twas the least I could do
You've no idea how grateful I am
Worry not
Hah {playername}. My eternal thanks go with you.
Fear not
By God
A simple ruse I shall take your place here in prison while you make your escape disguised as myself.I paid the guards a handsome bribe with which I am sure they have already purchased half the wine stocks of the nearest tavern.With some luck they'll soon get so drunk they'd have troublerecognising their own mothers let alone telling one of us from the other.At least not until you are safely away.
Hmm my {reg33?lady:friend}? The guards won't take kindly to this trickery.You may end up spending some time in this cell yourself.
Not to worry
I shall be fine as long there is an ample reward waiting at the end.
You are a brave soul indeed. I won't forget this.
Of course of course! Come to me when you have regained your freedom and perhaps I shall be able to repay the debt I owe you.
Quickly let us change garments. It is past time you were away from here.
{s66}
That is too great a matter for me to decide
{s11}.
As you like
A shame
Very well
Aye
On second thought
Aye
That is too high a price
Excellent. Though you strayed from us it gladdens all our hearts that you have found your way back to the right path. I hereby restore your homage to me. Rise once more as an honoured {reg33?warrior:man} in my service.
Then get out of my sight and do not come back!
I wish to make peace with the {s4}.
Do you indeed
{playername} holding lands in your name with only the barest scrap of a claim to legitimacy.No king in Perisno would accept a lasting peace with you.
Make peace when I have you at an advantage? I think not.
I do not see it as being in my current interest to make peace
As things stand I do not see it as being in my current interest to make peace
I accept.  I will give you {s0}
I don't have {s0} with me.
In that case
On second thought
Yes... I am weary of fighting you. I could offer you a truce of twenty days. If you keep your word and do not molest my lands and subjects
I accept. Let us stop making war upon each other
On second thought
Hmm. I could use my considerable influence to arrange a pardon for you but there are some who see you as an enemy and will not be satisfied unless you pay tribute.All in all you'd need to bring no less than {reg16} aurums to make any friends in {s4}.
I am in no position to offer you anything. You must speak to {s7}.
Yes... I have bigger worries than you or your followers. However and wrongs demand compensation. For the sum of {reg16} aurums I suppose that I could agree to grant you a pardon. What do you say?
I am sorry. I am in no position to offer you a pardon
I have the money here. {reg16} aurums.
I fear I cannot pay that much.
Excellent and I will let it be known that you are no longer an enemy of the {s4}.
Excellent and I'm sure that word will soon spread that you are no longer an enemy of {s4}.
Then there's nothing I can do for you no pardon.
About the task you gave me...
Let us discuss matters related to our household.
Let us wait until we are in a hall as it is difficult to deal with household inventories and such matters in the field.
Certainly
Do you have any tasks for me?
Do you think we can work together to advance our standings in this realm?
I do not imagine that you and I have many mutual interests.
Hmm.. Perhaps we can discuss this matter in a more private setting
Hmm.. I do have an idea perhaps we could proceed further.
I wish to resign the marshalship
So be it. I shall have to find someone else.
Ah there are many willing to topple the King Torlan.
I don't care much about politics. But the king has promised me a great reward for your head. I think that is more than enough incentive.
Someday since it is a battle you want I must comply.
I have defeated the renegades!
Congradulations
I have heard news of a group of renegade noble in the kingdom. Is there anything I may do to help?
Yes. I was going to address the kingdom about it and I thought that I had to deal with them myself.
I want to help you defeat them
Do you?! I am impressed well I will reward you most handsomely should you succeed.
Where are they
I do not know. They may be anywhere in Tolranian lands. However so be very careful warrior.
Well my lord.
My lord
You've heard there are many who want to dispute my rule. Which group are you talking about...?
Well
Nevermind ...
Ah
Where are they at?
Currently I do not know where those rats are. But kill them for me and spit on their dead bodies.
So eh?
The only dog here is you
The Kaiser talks about a new future in this land very foolish for that. He thinks that he is the one that can raise the Reich to glory. He has deluded himself in his visions for power. We were the first ones to see that and have decided to break away.
He acts noble and supposedly upholds duty you must realize that. You are smarter than them. If you defeat us all you will get from the Kaiser is a pat on the back and a little reward for your loyalty. Is not freedom better than that?
If I do plan to break away
I have defeated the Sectarians
That is pleasing news here is your reward.
I have heard that there was a rebel tribe that has been causing trouble in the area.
Ah
Well is there anything I can do to help?
Of course. You can defeat them for me. I will reward you well. I don't know where they are hiding at the moment so you'll have to root them out.
Good idea. I will start immediately.
Maybe another time
I have defeated the rebels
That is pleasing news here is your reward.
So
It took me a long time finding you cowards. Time to die!
Very well. I shall grant you your wish. I had hoped you would be more reasonable
Are there any challenging tasks for me to do?
Yes
Of course!
I will reward you well. I do not know their whereabouts at the moment so you will need to locate them by yourself.
I will start immediately.
Maybe another time
I've defeated the tribe of Draharans!
That is great work! I'm truly impressed. Here as promised.
Did that fool of a King send you? More to kill
It took me a long time finding you cowards. Time to die!
I will enjoy sending your head to the king once we kill you.
Hello
Hello something of importance has. It is in fact a matter of great urgency. I found a portrait which I believe belongs to King Greavth one of the great Elintoran kings. My mother Arwen in particular loves collecting treasures and she would love the portrait.
That's great news! How is this a matter of great urgency?
It's been stolen! The portrait was right under my grasp my mother is coming to see me soon because she wants to see the portrait. She's bringing the council with her! It would be much too embarassing if I said it was stolen under my very nose!
So
Please whom I suspect knows a thing or two about it. He was the only one I told.
Alright. I will do it.
I haven't found anything during my investigations.
That's okay. I have! I've found out that the entire thing was a ploy. The assassins were acting on their own accord. This was told to me by an anonymous informant.
And??? What happened?
It turns out that this was all a delicate plan to assassinate the Queen. The portrait is fake. However
Okay. All that was ... for nothing? - You think
I'm here
It's about time! I think I should reward you for your efforts. Linthrandil told me that you thwarted a delicate plan to assassinate me
Thank you
I shall not forget your favor. Goodbye
#NAME?
#NAME? I do. I ... I - they made me do it- steal the portrait! They were terrible..those men.
Who? I need a name! Tell me who did it?
Men in red hoods... terrifying. They moved swifty like death itself.
Can you give any more information than that??
Those men ... thy were like assassins. They had red cloaks as well. I don't know what they wanted from me! I had to do it
Thank you. You have been most helpful.
Halt! Tell me what you and your order know about a missing portrait
What? We are never told anything. A man named Zaos hired us for that. But too!
I've caught you villain!
Uh... what? What have I done? Fool
Don't play stupid. Come with me peacefully or die.
I really do not know what you are talking about. I swear it on my life.
Uh... are you serious?? Then those assassins were lying! Gah
Well... I have no idea what you are talking about
Are there any challenging tasks for me to do?
Yes
Of course!
I will reward you well. I do not know their whereabouts at the moment so you will need to locate them by yourself.
I will start immediately.
Maybe another time
I have defeated the deserters
That is pleasing news here is your reward.
Don't try to stop us where we will have eternal glory!
It took me a long time finding you cowards. Time to die!
We warned you.
Are there any challenging tasks for me to do?
Yes
Of course!
I will reward you well. I do not know their whereabouts at the moment so you will need to locate them by yourself.
I will start immediately.
Maybe another time
I have defeated the huscarls
That is pleasing news here is your reward.
So the King sent you
It took me a long time finding you cowards. Time to die!
Ha-ha! What a joke! I will enjoy crushing you!
{s66}
{s66}
{s66}
I have an offer for you.
I want to give some troops to you.
I can't accomodate any more {reg65?soldiers:men} right now.  My supply lines are overtaxed as it is.
I have plenty of soldiers at the moment
Well
I have a new task for you.
May I suggest a course of action?
Yes?
I will gladly follow your direction however you may also wish to declare yourself marshal so there is no cause for confusion.
My apologies. I don't know you well enough to take your advice.
What is it?
Follow me.
Will you follow me? I have a plan...
Go to...
Raid around the village of...
Patrol around...
Together
We are under attack
We are under attack
{s4} is directing this siege. I suggest you speak to {reg4?her:him}
Our preparations are not yet ready. We need another {s11}
Very well -- to the walls!
There is a fortress which can easily be taken. Go to..
The enemy is coming in force. Flee in the direction of...
I won't need you for some time. You are free to do as you like.
You no longer need to accompany me.
Never mind.
It is not my way to turn tail and run
You want me to shed my blood outside a fortress while others stand by and watch? I think not.
Where?
{s1}
Never mind.
All right. I will stop here.
That would hardly be proper. It would be more appropriate for you to follow me instead. Did you have any other ideas?
All right. I will do that.{s12}
I am sorry. I need to attend my own business at the moment.
What is it?
I want to start a new campaign. Let us assemble the army here.
You wish to summon all lords for a new campaign?
Yes. We must gather all our forces before we march on the enemy.
On second thought
All right then. I will send messengers and tell everyone to come here.
I want to end the campaign and let everyone return home.
You want to end the current campaign and release all lords from duty?
Yes. We no longer need all our forces here.
On second thought
All right. I will let everyone know that they are released from duty.
I wish to ask you something.
Aye? What is it?
Have your skills increased since the days when we were travelling companions?
Let me show you...
Is there anything else?
I want to know the location of someone.
I would like to know more about you and your skills.
Well
What are you and your men doing?
What is the realm doing?
You should decide that
I wish to talk to you about soldiers you train.
What exactly do you want
I want you to start training troops of the culture of my kingdom.
That shall be done
I want you to return to training troops of your culture.
That shall be done
I want you to sign the contract with the Freelancer Guild and start recruiting their soldiers.
Well
I want you to terminate your contract with the Freelancer Guild and stop using their soldiers.
Well
I want you to start training the same soldiers that are trained for me by the Mercenary Guild.
All right
I no longer want you to use mercenaries.
All right
Never mind.
All right. Is there something else?
How goes the war?
CHEAT! I would like to see your equipment.
Well my liege.
{s19}
{s19}
{s19}
{s19}
{s1}
Never mind
{s19}
{s1}
Never mind
{s14}
{s14}
{s14}
Actually
Great heaven do you think I'm going to give you permission to marry her?
It is not my way to push my {s11} to marry against her will or her better judgment
Sorry when I'd rather see her married to {s12}
Splendid news let us talk the terms of the marriage. As per our custom the two of us must make sure that {s11} has sufficient finances to support herself in the event of any unforeseen circumstances..
I would say that that you can provide a dower of {reg3} aurums while I will supply a dowry of {reg4} aurums. This shall be her ladyship's property as a security lest for any reason you are unable to provide for her. What say you to that?
Very well -- so let it be.
I cannot afford that right now.
That is too much to pay.
Well. I cannot in all decency allow my daughter to marry without some security
Splendid! You two may now consider yourselves offically betrothed. Very well -- I shall plan to hold a great feast in {s24}
Unfortunately for the time being.
No matter -- take the time you need to raise the money. I want her ladyship to be well looked after.
That is a shame
{s10} I have the honor of visiting with {s14}{s12}?
{s12}
From what I hear and I have plans for her. I will not be mocked behind my back as a man who cannot control the women of his household. I would ask you not to discuss this matter with me again.
{s14}
What would it take to cement a lasting alliance with your house?
Never mind.
Then you will have to ask someone else.
I am afraid you will have to ask someone else.
Very well
{s1}
Never mind.
Never mind.
{s1}
{s1}
{s12}
Tell me more about the war with {s1}.
That's all I wanted to know. Thank you.
{s9}.
{s7} {s9} {s14}
Did you have any other questions?
Our leader {s4} is far too cautious. {reg4?She:He} should either use the army to attack the enemy
Our army sits too few vassals have answered the call to arms. Perhaps {s4} does not enjoy the confidence of the great lords of this realm.
I disagree with this strategy. I would prefer to {s4}.
I personally would prefer to attack {s8}
I personally would prefer to defend {s8}
Is there anything else?
This strategy seems reasonable to me.
If you're attacking
I see....
Would you say that {s4} should no longer be marshal?
I believe that our realm should resolve the issue of {s4} before we begin to debate replacing the marshal.
Yes. I have already made my position on this matter clear. I believe that {s4} should be marshal instead of {s5}.
I will make up my mind on this matter without your persuasion
Hmm...
Yes I would be tempted to say that I support {s15} instead. I am glad that you and I had this discussion so that I know that we are of the same mind on this matter.
Not necessarily. It is possible for {s4} and I have to have an honest disagreement over strategy
Yes?
Never mind
..planning to continue with the attack on {s4}?
..defending {s4}?
..attacking {s4}?
{s9}
Our marshal {s11} believes that {s8} {s9}{s10}
We could go there. {s7} However
Did you have any similar questions? Why we are not...
Have no fear
I do not forget that it was your strong right arm that placed me on this throne.  Do you aim to take Baybak's place as my {reg33?wife:husband}
Are you proposing to rule the {s0} alongside me as my {reg33?wife:husband}?
Yes. That is my proposal.
No
Oh you totally have the wrong idea... forget I said anything.
Have no fear
Unfortunately this is impossible
Unfortunately this is impossible
Unfortunately this is impossible
Unfortunately this is impossible
{s14}
{s14}
It is our custom to seal any such alliances with marriage.  You have made quite a few waves since your arrival but unfortunately no one in my household is eligible to wed.
You will not take offense if I tell you that I have other plans for my children.
It is our custom to seal any such alliances with marriage. Unfortunately
{s15}
Are you proposing that you and I marry?
May I {s15}suggest that I be considered as a {reg33?bride:groom}?
CHEAT -- Start engagement
Never mind
Yes. That is my proposal.
No
Oh you totally have the wrong idea... forget I said anything.
{s14}
{s14}
I must say riding where you will with the company you choose. This will not make it easy for the other {s0} to accept our marriage. I don't suppose that you would give up adventuring for the sake of our marriage?
I think not!
Very well.
I suppose the next step would be for me to send a message to your family but I suppose that you make your own decisions.
You assume correctly.
Very well should we then consider ourselves engaged to be wed? I will organize a great feast and we can exchange our vows before all the {s0} of the realm. If you are willing that is...
I am willing.
Actually
Very well. Hopefully we shall be wed.{s12}
Take whatever time you need
I say this only once
{s43}
I'm here to deliver you my demands!
Eh? What do you want?
I offer you one chance to surrender or die.
{s43}
Forgive me sir. I don't know what I was thinking.
Be gone
That is none of your business. Prepare to fight!
{s43}
Forgive me sir. I don't know what I was thinking.
I stand my ground. Prepare to fight!
{s43}
Forgive me. It's nothing.
Dear friend
This is most noble of you thank you.
I have met in my travels one who calls {reg3?herself:himself} {s45}...
Oh really? It is not everyone who dares mention that name in my presence. I am not sure whether to reward your bravery
Very well. I will indulge your curiosity. But listen closely
{s48}
{s48}
Cheat:Allright.
I've come to break you out of here.
Thank the heavens you came! However
What am I doing? What does it look like I'm doing?! I'm a prisoner here!
I am not commanding any {reg65?soldiers:men} at the moment.
We are resting at {s1}. {s14}{s15}
We are travelling to {s1}. {s14}{s15}
I am heading to the vicinity of {s1}. {s14}{s15}
We are recruiting new soldiers from {s1}. {s14}{s15}
We are scouting for the enemy around {s1}. {s14}{s15}
We are laying waste to the village of {s1}. {s14}{s15}
We are retreating to {s1}. {s14}{s15}
We are besieging {s1}. {s14}{s15}
We are fighting against {s1}. {s14}{s15}
I am screening {s1}'s advance. {s14}{s15}
We are accompanying {s1}. {s14}{s15}
I am leading the army of the realm.
We are reconsidering our next objective.
I don't know: {reg1} {s1} (ERROR)
Will you follow me? I have a plan.
I enjoy your company but there are other things I must attend to. Perhaps in a few days I can ride with you again.
That would hardly be proper
{s43}
Lead the way
Yes?
I wish to ransom one of your prisoners.
Never mind.
I fear I cannot join you at the moment I've important business to attend to and it cannot wait.
You forget your place
I would be glad to fight at your side but there is a problem...The thing is I've found myself in a bit of debt that I must repay very soon. {reg6} aurums altogether and I am honour-bound to return every coin. Unless you've got {reg6} aurums with you that you can spare I've to keep my mind on getting this weight off my neck.
Join you? I think not.
Aye I'll be happy to join you.
Here all {reg6} aurums you need. 'Tis only money.
Then let us ride together
That's good to know. I will think on it.
That's good to know. I will think on it.
I've some trusted men in my band who could be of use to you. What do you wish to do with them?
Ah it might be fun!
You may disband your men. I've no need for other troops.
Your men may join as well. We need every soldier we can muster.
Lead your men out of the town. I shall catch up with you on the road.
Keep doing what you were doing. I'll catch up with you later.
Ah . . . Very well the decision is yours. I'll disband my troops and join you.
Excellent.My lads and I will ride with you.
Very well then.I shall maintain a patrol of this area. Return if you have further orders for me.
Indeed.... Did you offer vassalage just to by time? Very well -- you shall have time to reconsider but if you are toying with me it will do your reputation no credit.
Indeed.... Did you offer vassalage just to buy time? Very well -- you shall have time to reconsider but if you are toying with me it will do your reputation no credit.
What pigswill!And to think I would offer you a place among my nobles. Begone before I lose my temper!
You are already oath-bound to serve {s5}
Indeed I am
I accept oaths only from those I can trust to keep them
My {reg33?lady:lord} but not completely without precedent. Noble{reg33?women:men} have often taken command of armies after their {reg33?husbands:wives} or {reg33?fathers:mothers} were slain or captured for example.
However no matter how valorous simply because {reg65?she:he} needed an extra vassal. Were I to do such a thing I would raise eyebrows across Perisno. People would say that I was besotted or bewitched or that I aimed to overturn the natural order of things. As much as I regret it I cannot afford to grant you a fief.
What if I were to take one of your enemy's castles by force?
What if I were to marry one of your lords?
Perhaps one of your competitors will prove to be more open-minded.
I would be willing to fight for you
Never mind.
Well you would no doubt have the use of your {reg33?husband:wife}'s properties which would allow you to act as one of my vassals in all but name. Did you have an other questions?
Oh I would think they would not have many fiefs to bestow. Did you have an other questions?
Well depending on the circumstances I might be inclined to let you keep it. Did you have an other questions?
You are known as a brave {reg33?warrior:man-at-arms} and a fine leader of men if you are ready to swear homage to me.
You've yet to show yourself as a competent commander
I am ready
Forgive me I must give the matter more thought first...
Take whatever time you need
What are you playing at and stop wasting my time.
Good. Then repeat the words of the oath with me: I swear homage to you as lawful ruler of the {s41}.
I pledge homage to you as lawful ruler of the {s41}.
Excuse me
I will remain as your loyal and devoted {reg33?follower:man} as long as my breath remains....
I will remain as your loyal and devoted {reg33?follower:man} as long as my breath remains...
{reg65?My lady:Sir}
...and I will be at your side to fight your enemies should you need my sword.
...and I will be at your side to fight your enemies should you need my sword.
My {reg65?Lady:Lord}
Finally
Finally
{reg65?My lady:Sir}
Very well. You have given me your solemn oath with proper courage and devotion.
Let it be known that from this day forward and I pledge that I shall not deprive you of your life liberty or properties except by the lawful judgment of your peers or by the law and custom of the land.{reg1? Furthermore I give you the fief of {s1} with all its rents and revenues.:}
You have done a wise thing you will rise high.
{s41}
So be it
I have great hopes for you {playername}.I know you shall prove yourself worthy of the trust I have placed in you.
Heh {playername}. With loyal service a {reg33?woman:man} in my service could become wealthy and powerful and our enemies... Well our enemies are as wheat before a scythe.However to enter my service you must first renounce all worldly oaths and bonds and swear to serve only the {s5}.
I do so swear
I need some time to think about this.
Are you having me on? I've no time for games
Then it is my pleasure to welcome you to the service of my house. From this day on you are a soldier of the {s5} with all the duties and privileges that come with it.
I charge you with rooting out and destroying the forces of our enemies wherever you may find them.Moreover as may some of my other vassal lords.Serve fight and honour your oaths. These things will take you far if you've a mind for promotion.May God grant us long lives and many victories to toast in my hall!
Hrm.Has your oath become burdensome but in respect of your fine service I will not hold you if you truly wish to end it.Though you would be sorely missed.
Release from homage? Hmm {playername} you must be sure that release is what you desire. This is not a thing done lightly.
It is something I must do
You are right
I am pleased to hear it
Then you are sure? Also you will be surrendering to me all the fiefs which you hold in my name.
Yes
Of course not
As you wish. I hereby declare your oaths to be null and void.You will no longer hold land or titles in my name {playername}.
Thank you
My thanks. It feels good to be a free {reg33?woman:man} once again.
Farewell then and good luck go with you.
Oh
{playername} I still have need of your companion. Please return later when things have settled.
Yes
Indeed. I brought you {reg1} {s1} as prisoners.
Oh
Many thanks
Certainly
It was nothing.
Give me more of a challenge next time.
Indeed. I have raised {reg1} {s13}. You can take them.
These men may well turn the tide in my plans
Well sir. I am sure you will take good care of them.
Here are all the taxes from {s3}. It comes up to {reg19} aurums.
Here are the taxes from {s3}. It comes up to {reg19} aurums.
Unfortunately
Well done very well done indeed! You were truly the right {reg33?woman:man} for the job. I promised you a fifth of the taxes so that amounts to {reg21} aurums. If you give me {reg20} aurums you may keep the difference. A good result for everyone eh?
What?! Is this some scheme of yours I'm taking {reg20} aurums from what you collected and you're lucky I'm leaving you a few coins for honour's sake.
God {playername}.This could turn very ugly if I do not take immediate action.I certainly hope you're not here expecting to be paid for failure.Hand over my {reg19} aurums if you please and end our business together.
I found {s4} hiding at {s3} and gave him his punishment.
I'm afraid he got away.
And we'll all be a lot better off without him! Thank you for removing this long-festering thorn from my side. 'Tis good to know you can be trusted to handle things with an appropriate level of tactfulness. A bounty I promised and a bounty you shall have. 300 aurums and not a copper less!
Let me take the money
This is blood money. I can't accept it.
Of course you've my thanks for ridding me of that {s43}.
You are a {reg33?woman:man} for whom justice is its own reward {playername} as you wish it. An honourable sentiment to be true. Regardless you've my thanks for ridding me of that {s43}.
It is a sad day when that {s43} manages to avoid the hand of justice yet again. I thought you would be able to do this
I am still working on it.
I am afraid I won't be able to do this quest.
Good. Remember
{s43}
It's {reg0}.
That should be possible. Very well
As it happens I promised {s10} that I would hire a company of mercenaries for an upcoming campaign.
I'm not interested
Aye
I'm interested. Please tell me more about your offer.
Perfect. Of course you shall have to make a formal declaration of allegiance
As you wish. Your enemies are my enemies.
On second thought
That will do. You've made a wise choice you will receive many rewards for your service.
Now and respond quickly when you are summoned for duty.
I'm very sorry to hear that. You'll find no better place than {s9}
I can offer you a contract for one month. At the end of this period you'll receive wages from {s10} each week according to the number and quality of the soldiers in your company. You still have your rights to battlefield loot and salvage as well as any prisoners you capture. War can be very profitable at times...
Duties... There are only a few you shall be required to fulfill certain responsibilities. You'll participate in military campaigns fulfill any duties given to you by your commanders and most of all you shall attack the enemies of our kingdom wherever you might find them.
And what about my duties as a mercenary?
Can I hold on to any castles I take?
Can I fly my own banner?
How much will you pay me for my service?
Sounds good. I wish to enter your service as a mercenary.
Apologies
Only my loyal vassals can own lands and castles in my realm -- and all my vassals are {reg65?men:women}. I am not inclined to depart from this tradition without a very good reason. If you prove yourself in battle
Hmm... Only loyal vassals of {s10} can own lands and castles. While {s0} will sometimes accept vassalage from {reg33?women:men} who prove themselves in battle I have never heard of a {s1} who gave fiefs to {reg33?women:men}. You had best discuss that issue with {s10} {reg0?herself:himself}.
Only my loyal vassals can own lands and castles in my realm. A mercenary can not be trusted with such a responsibility. However you can swear homage to me and become my vassal. Then you will be rewarded with a fief.
Only loyal vassals of {s10} can own lands and castles. You understand after serving for some time you may earn the right to swear homage to {s10} and become {reg0?her:his} vassal. Then you would be rewarded with a fief.
Only my noble vassals have the honour of carrying their own banners. However you may earn the opportunity to swear homage to me and become my vassal gaining the right to choose a banner of your own and fight under it in battle.
Only noble vassals of {s10} have the honour of carrying their own banners. However perhaps you can earn the opportunity to swear homage to {s10} and become {reg0?her:his} vassal gaining the right to choose a banner of your own and fight under it in battle.
You still haven't finished the last job I gave you not asking me for other things to do.
I don't have any other jobs for you right now.
A task?
My {reg33?Lady:Lord} I should be offering my services to you. Unfortunately I have little time right now so I beg you to take this declaration of my esteem in its place.
There are some minor errands which I need completed not to {reg0?my sworn liege:a sworn vassal of the realm}.
If you are looking for action against our foes so it is good to have as many {reg33?soldiers:men} as possible.
If you are looking for action against our foes and I am going there myself. I cannot guarantee you that our enemies will be there when you arrive of course.
If you are looking for action against our foes but others may be.  I cannot guarantee you that our enemies will be there when you arrive of course.
If a worthy task presents itself I may have a favor to ask of you at a later date.
Yes -- there is something you can do for us. We have heard reports that a group of {s4} have established a hideout in this area we would be very grateful.
My {s11} has been taken prisoner by {s14} of the {s15}. Normally honorable nobles will grant prisoners of gentle blood the privilege of parole and treat them as honored guests so long as they give their word that they will not attempt to escape until such time as a ransom can be paid.  But {s14} instead of granting {s13} parole has consigned my {s11} to {reg3?her:his} dungeons -- no doubt in the hope that {reg3?she:he} can demand more from us.
We need you to get my {s11} out of prison. You may be able to pay a ransom -- in which case we could cover your expenses you may be able to use them to sneak {reg4?her:him} out. Or you may try a more direct approach -- walk up to the gaoler take the keys by force and then fight your way out. Can you do this for us?
I can try.
I don't think that I can help you.
It would not have been an easy task. Perhaps we will find another way.
We are most grateful. Could I ask you how you were planning to proceed?
Did you have any other ideas which you wished to discuss?
I am thinking of breaking into the prison in {s24} and fighting my way out.
I am thinking of taking {s24} by storm.
I have done enough planning. Time to act!
May the heavens protect you.
I had discussed this idea with some of my men. One could enter {s24} then walk up to the prison guard and try to take the keys by force. However getting out may be difficult. The garrison may be slow to react but even so you are likely to find yourself fighting a half dozen or more of the enemy at once with limited space in which to maneuver. If you can fight your way past them though you can probably get out.
You may find it useful to create a distraction this may be a time to put them to use.
Well
I need to send a letter to {s13} who should be currently at {s4}. If you will be heading towards there
Certainly
I doubt I'll be seeing {s13} anytime soon
I am no errand {reg33?girl:boy}
I appreciate it and a small sum to cover your travel expenses. Give my regards to {s13} when you see {reg0?her:him}.
Ah I am sure I will find someone else.
Hm {playername}. I didn't know you would take offence.
Then you shall know better from now on.
Forgive my temper
All right. I will remember that.
Ah {playername}? I have fallen for a lady. I saw {s13} at a banquet not long ago and have thought of little else since... I must know if she feels the same way. Will you deliver this message for me?
Certainly
I doubt I'll be seeing {s13} anytime soon
I appreciate it there's just one small snag. I'm not a literary man and I suspect this type of thing is beyond me. You will have to help me write the note. Hmmm let's see. How do you think I should start it off? I was thinking either 'Greetings wench ' or 'My love my darling I hunger for your touch'.
Greetings
My love I hunger for your love.
Er Dear Lady I hope this letter finds you well.
Excellent what next? ^'I could not help but notice your bustle at the ball ' 'Your fragile beauty excites my desires ' or 'I admire a woman with some meat on her bones'?
I could not help but notice your bustle at the ball.
Your fragile beauty excites my desires.
I admire a woman with some meat on her bones.
Wonderful. Truly a masterpiece. And to conclude on a high note? ^How about I love you more than my own horse.' No? Well what about 'Your beauty dazzles me like glare of the sun on an enemy shield.' Ahhh I like that one.
In truth
Your beauty dazzles me like glare of the sun on an enemy shield.
Maybe
I appreciate your help and some money to cover your travel expenses. Ha ha! How can she resist?
Ah I am sure I will find someone else.
I need to deliver a letter to {s13} of {s15} would you deliver my letter to {reg0?her:him}? The letter needs to reach {reg0?her:him} in 40 days.
There is a small thing... My {s17} {s13} is due for a visit to {reg4?her:his} relatives at {s14}. The visit has been postponed several times already with all the trouble on the roads I want to at least make sure {reg4?she:he}'s well-guarded. I trust you well {playername} so I would be very grateful if you could escort {reg4?her:him} to {s14} and make sure {reg4?she:he} arrives safe and sound.
A group of bandits have taken refuge in my village of {s15}. They are plundering nearby farms but I have my hands full at the moment so I can't do anything about it.
Worry not
You shall have to find help elsewhere
Will you do that? Know that
Ah... Very well then
No lord should have to admit this but I was inspecting my soldiers the other day and there are {reg0?{reg65?women:soldiers}:{reg65?soldiers:men}} here who don't know which end of a sword to hold. {s43} You are a warrior of renown {playername}. Will you train some troops for me? I would be grateful to you.
How many men do you need?
If you can raise {reg1} {s14} and bring them to me
Of course
I am too busy these days to train anyone.
You've taken a weight off my shoulders I'll advance you some money to help with expenses. Here this purse should do it. Thank you for your help.
Oh good luck to you then.
You probably know that I am the lord of the {reg9?town:village} of {s3}. However I will grant you one-fifth of everything you collect.
A fair offer
Forgive me
Welcome news those {reg9?townsmen:peasants} are foxy beasts they will make every excuse not to pay me my rightful incomes. Do not let them fool you.
Oh good luck to you then.
I have something you could help with so I've put a bounty of 300 aurums on his head. Friends of the murdered man reckon that this assassin may have taken refuge with his kinsmen at {s3}. You might be able to hunt him down and give him what he deserves and claim the bounty for yourself.
Then I will hunt him down and execute the law.
I am too busy to go after him at the moment.
That's excellent good hunting to you.
As you wish
The wretched truth is that I owe a considerable sum of money to one of the merchants here in {s3}. I've no intention of paying it back but that loud-mouthed fool is making a terrible fuss about it. He even had the audacity to come and threaten me -- me! -- with a letter of complaint to the trade guilds and bankers. Why he'd ruin my good reputation! So I need a {reg33?woman:man} I can trust someone who will guarantee the man's silence. For good.
Worry not
I'm no common murderer
Very good. I trust in your skill and discretion I'll send you a message telling when and where you can catch the merchant. Dispose of him for me and I shall reward you generously.
I have a sensitive matter which needs tending to and no trustworthy retainers to take care of it. The fact is that I have a spy in {s13} to keep an eye on things for me and report anything that might warrant my attention. Every week I send someone to collect the spy's reports and bring them back to me. The job's yours if you wish it.
I don't mind a bit of skullduggery. Count me in.
I must decline. This cloak-and-dagger work isn't fit for me.
Excellent! Make your way to {s13} as soon as you can
{s13} is heavily defended. How can I get close without being noticed?
You shall have to use stealth. Take care to avoid enemy strongholds and don't bring too many men with you. If you fail to sneak in the first time give it a while for the garrison to lower its guard again or you may have a difficult time infiltrating the town.
How will I recognise the spy?
Once you get to {s13} you must talk to the locals say the phrase '{s11}' The spy will respond with the phrase '{s12}' Thus you will know the other and {reg7?she:he} will give you any information {reg7?she:he}'s gathered in my service.
Will I be paid?
Of course {playername} and you'll rise high.
I know what to do. Farewell
Good luck the secret phrase is '{s11}' The counterphrase is '{s12}' Bring any reports back to me and I'll compensate you for your trouble.
As you wish but I strongly advise you to forget anything I told you about any spies. They do not exist have never existed and no one will ever find them. Remember that.
This peace with {s13} ill suits me we must wage war on them before it's too late! Unfortunately some of the bleeding hearts among our realm's lords are blocking a possible declaration of war. Witless cowards with no stomach for blood.
You are right but what can we do?
I disagree
Ah there is something we can do {playername}. A little bit of provocation... If one of our war parties managed to enter their territory and pillage one of their caravans or raided one of their villages and perhaps left behind a little token or two of the {s14} they would have ample cause to declare war on us. And then well even the cowards among us must rise to defend themselves. So what do you say? Are you interested?
An excellent plan. Count me in.
Why don't you do that yourself?
Well some of the lords in our kingdom won't like the idea of someone inciting a war without their consent. They are already looking for an excuse to get at me and if I did this they could make me pay for it dearly. You on the other hand are young and well-liked and daring so you might just get away with it. And of course I will back you up and defend your actions against your opponents. All in all a few lords might be upset at your endeavour but I am sure you won't be bothered with that.
That seems reasonable. I am willing to do this.
I don't like this. Find yourself someone else to take the blame for your schemes.
Very good! A raid on a caravan if you can't manage that an attack on one of their villages should do the trick. Now good luck and good hunting. Go set the borders aflame!
Ah believe me.
Hm. As you wish but it seems I was wrong.
Well I let them plough my fields and rent my cottages and this is how they repay me! From what I've been hearing they're running to {s3} as fast as they can and have split up into three groups to try and avoid capture. I want you to capture all three groups and fetch them back to {s4} by whatever means necessary. I should really have them hanged for attempting to escape but we need hands for the upcoming harvest so I'll let them go off this time with a good beating.
I have good information that a man in this very town is actually an enemy spy. He should be seized and hanged for his impudence the man to whom the spy feeds all his little whispers. The spy himself is of little import but the master is a dangerous man and could tell us a great deal if we could only get our hands on him...
I want you to wait here until the spy leaves town. Then you must follow him to the meeting place. You must take absolute care not to be seen by the spy on your way else he may suspect foul play and turn back. When the master appears you must ambush and arrest them and bring the pair back to me. Alive if you please.
I'll do it
No
Good so you will know the man to follow. Remember I want them both and I want them alive.
A shame. Well {playername}...
There is a difficult job I need done and you may be the {reg33?woman:man} who can carry it off. I need someone to capture one of the noble lords of {s13} and bring him to me. Afterwards I'll be able to exchange him in return for a relative of mine held by {s13}. It is a simple enough job but whomever you choose will be guarded by an elite band of personal retainers. Are you up for a fight?
Consider it done
I must refuse
I like your spirit! Go and bring me one of our enemies of course...
Clearly you lack the mettle I had thought you possessed. Very well I will find someone else.
I don't have a job for you right now
How long will you be needing {reg3?her:him}?
Just a few days
Then I will leave {s3} with you for one week.
I am sorry
I cannot thank you enough your companion shall be returned to you with due haste.
Well but I suppose I cannot force you or {s3} to agree. I shall have to make do without.
Some time ago to be precise. {reg0?She:He} was supposed to pay it back within a month but I haven't received a copper from {reg0?her:him} since. That was months ago. If you could collect the debt from {reg0?her:him} on my behalf I would be grateful indeed. I would even let you keep one fifth of the money for your trouble. What do you say?
Do you know where I can find {s3}
If you leave now
Then I will talk to {s3} on your behalf.
Forgive me but I doubt I would be more successful than yourself.
You made me very happy by accepting this {playername}. Please
Perhaps not
I tell you {s15}. As long as {reg3?she:he} has {reg3?her:his} vassal aiding {reg3?her:him} it will be a difficult job beating {reg3?her:him}. So I need to get {s15} out of the picture and I have a plan just to do that... With your help naturally.
{s66}
I don't wish to involve myself in anything dishonourable against {s15}.
Dishonourable? Bah! I was hoping I could count on you but you've shown me what a fool I was. I shall have to find someone whose loyalty I can trust.
I have written a fake letter to {s15} which implicates {reg4?her:him} in a conspiracy with us to stage a coup in {s14} in my favour. If we can make {s13} believe the letter is genuine {reg3?she:he} will deal with {s15} very swiftly. Of course the challenge there is to convince {s13} that the letter is indeed real...
Please continue
No
This is where you come into play. You'll take the letter to {s14} of course to try and get the truth out of him but all he knows is that you ordered the letter to be delivered to {s15} under the utmost secrecy. {s13} knows you serve me and the fool will certainly believe the whole charade.
Is that all?
There is one more thing... Your messenger must be someone trustworthy. If you sent the letter with a simple peasant {s13} might suspect a plot. {reg3?She:He} may have the wits of a snail but even a snail can see the obvious. Give the letter to someone of rank. One of your {s9} perhaps.
What? I can't send one of my trusted {s9} to his death!
Then a {s8} it will be.
Come now but this is not it. Believe me you shall be generously compensated and what is the purpose of soldiers if not to die at our say-so?
A {s8} it is.
No
I can't tell you how pleased I am to hear that as well as 300 aurums for your expenses. Remember there'll be more once you succeed. Much much more...
A group of my soldiers were captured in a recent skirmish with the enemy. Thankfully we have a mutual agreement of prisoner exchange but they want us to give them prisoners of equal rank and number. Prisoners I don't currently have. So I need a good {reg33?warrior:man} to find me {reg1} {s3} as prisoners that I may exchange them.
No {playername}. I do not need your help at this time.
You can count on me
I fear I cannot accept such a mission at the moment.
Excellent excellent. I have every confidence in you.
Is that so? Well
My Lord
My Lord
My Lord
My Lord
I must leave now.
I am taking you from here (pay {reg5} denars to fief owner).
Can I persuade you to join my cause?
Yes and in fact I hoped that you'd ask me this question. It seems to me that if I join your kingdom that will be beneficial for both of us.
Yes and in fact I hoped that you'd ask me this question. For a long time I have been hearing people talk about your noble deeds and you have also proven to be an excellent leader. So now I consider it an honor to join you.
Of course huh?
No
This audience is over. I leave now.
You are free to go.
{s43}
(You patiently listen to what {s2} has to say and find this very useful. Your {s3} increases.)
I must beg my leave.
Before you go I have something to ask of you... We may be enemies in this war but I pray that you believe as I do that we can still be civil towards each other. Thus I hoped that you would be kind enough to assist me in something important to me.
I am listening.
I have a friend here who is very sick. Pestilence has infected an old battle wound and unless he is seen to by a surgeon soon   he will surely die. This man is dear to me {playername} but he's also stubborn as a hog and refuses to have anyone look at his injury because he doesn't trust the physicians here. I have heard that you've a capable surgeon with you. If you would let your surgeon come here and have a look {reg3?she:he} may be able to convince him to give his consent to an operation. Please I will be deeply indebted to you if you grant me this request.
We'll meet again.
Farewell
Of course
Good journeys to you
Yes
We will meet again.
Are you enjoying the journey
I am doing quite fine
Yes
As you are my chief minister
I have the materials for {s4}'s gift.
Let's abandon our plan to {s10}.
Are you sure you want to drop that idea?
Yes
Actually
Let us think of a way to improve our standing in this realm
My {reg65?husband:wife}
{s9}
I was thinking that perhaps we could host a feast
Let us take inventory of our household possessions
Anyway
Let me see your equipment
Sure
Anything else?
I want you to join my retinue
Of course
We shall speak later
My husband to stand with you in good times and bad. May the heavens smile upon us and bless us with children livestock and land.
I pledge the same. Let us be husband and wife.
Wait -- hold on... I'm not quite ready for this.
I now declare you and {s3} to be husband and wife. Go now to the chamber prepared for you
Is there anything else
A splendid idea let us wait for the current feast here to conclude before organizing another.
A splendid idea we must establish a court before hosting a feast.
A splendid idea our realm has recently had a feast. Perhaps we should wait another {reg3} days before we organize another one.
A splendid idea to not insult our guests we must make sure that we can provide a large and varied repast for the lords their families and their retinues. All told we should count on a couple of hundred mouths to feed over several days. Let us take an inventory of our household possessions...
{s9}
Let me add more items to our storehouses
All right -- let me reevalute what is there...
Let us dispatch the invitations
Let us wait
I shall send word that we will host a feast as soon as conditions in the realm permit. You perhaps should continue to stock our larder so that we may do justice to our reputation for hospitality.
Very well so that we may do justice to our reputation for hospitality. You may declare the feast to be concluded at any time either by beginning a campaign or by letting it be known that the vassals can return to their homes.
How wonderful it is... In a short while we shall be married! However in the remaining few days it is not customary for us to speak too much together.
Em you might not be used to our wedding customs but I had hoped that someone would tell you... Speak first to my {s11} {s4}.
I do not know where to find my {s11} {s10}
The honorable {s12} has agreed to allow us to return home to our families. We shall be departing shortly.
So great is my loneliness! How I miss my family!
You are a cad to hold a {reg65?lady:free-spirited lad} like this...
It is strange. On occasion you have shown me such kindness
Why haven't my family paid my ransom? You may hold me as prisoner
Greetings but I will shortly be departing.
{playername} -- I assume that you will accord gentle-born {reg65?ladies:lads} such as ourselves the right to return to our families and not demand a ransom.
Thank you for escorting me here
It was an honor to serve you
We will shortly depart{s5}. It is good to know that some people in this world retain a sense of honor.
Of course
You assume wrong
What?! What infamy is this?
My apologies - you must have misunderstood me. Of course you may leave.
Contact your family to arrange for a ransom
Then write to your family
I have changed my mind -- you are free to go
Well and lost. According to our custom and tradition I should no longer receive you. Farewell {playername}.
Oh {playername} -- I heard of your duel with {s10}. I wish now that you had never fought {reg3?her:him} having lost to {reg3?her:him} you now break off your suit with me. Farewell {playername}.
Very well - we must do as tradition demands... Farewell
Let honor and tradition hang!
Oh it would so break my heart to no longer be able to see you. We shall ignore this silly cruel tradition.
No and neither can you.
Oh
Well {reg3?she:he} was not worthy of my affections.
Well such foolishness that {reg33?people:men} should fight over me! Sigh... But it is a bit romantic I suppose.
Well you know. You did me no service by fighting {reg0?her:him} {sir/madame}.
My dear {playername} but I fear it's little compared to what you've done for me.
Oh
{s66}
Please no reward is necessary.
{s10}
My dear {playername}
My dear {playername}
Indeed I believe.
I'm afraid not. I think he loves another.
Indeed
I'm afraid not. He was quite vocal on that point.
Oh {playername}. Thank you! Please accept this reward.
Why do you look at the floor when you say that? Look at me! I do not believe you! You come here and lie to me in my own home. Are you trying to make me look more foolish than I already am? Leave me now and your presence does not help me.
No! My heart is broken in two. But you tried you tried. It was foolish of me to state my feelings. I shall know better next time.
I was told that you sought satisfaction from {s13} to prove my innocence and I thank you for your efforts.
I beg your forgiveness for my defeat
It matters not but you willingly put your life at stake for my honour. That alone will convince many of my innocence.
Ah {playername} - you must have received my message. How happy I am that you could come!
{playername} - is there any word from my family?
I hear that my {s11} has refused your request to marry me. Does that mean that we must part?
Oh you brought {reg4?her:him} back to me! Thank you ever so much for rescuing my {s11}. Please take this as some small repayment for your noble deed.
Oh you brought {reg4?her:him} back to me! Thank you ever so much for rescuing my {s11}. Please take this as some small repayment for your noble deed.
Always an honour to serve
You must be {playername}. We have just had the honor of watching you distinguish yourself in the recent tournament{s8}.
You must be {playername}. My {s15} {s16} has spoken most highly of you. I am delighted to make your acquaintance.
I say
Ah I believe that I am required elsewhere.
{playername} -- how good it is to see you. (Whispers:) I still remember your visits fondly.
Ah
{s12}
I have sad news. I have become betrothed to {s5} -- against my will
Good {playername} -- I have become betrothed to {s5}. It is now no longer seemly for us to see each other like this.
I must tell you -- there is another lord who has been paying me attentions and may try to force me to wed against my will.
{s11}It is probably not suitable for us to tarry too long here in conversation
{s11}
I was planning to retire for a little while
It is so delightful to have a chance to spend some time together.{s12}
What brings you here today?
No word so far...
CHEAT:  Wed me.
On second thought
{s11}
Let us marry at once!
Never! We must elope together at once!
Perhaps I may still be able to change your {s11}'s mind
So be it -- let us then part
CHEAT:  Wed me.
Good {playername} -- you are a good and kind man
{reg33?Madame:Sir} -- as you may know
Ah {playername} {playername} but I will not consign myself to obscurity.
Ah {playername} I am not certain enough of your moral fiber to risk such a thing. Although I bear little affection for my betrothed it would be a weighty thing to go against my family's wishes and I am not certain enough of you to take that step.
Good {playername} -- to elope would be to throw away my ties with my family but I am not sure that I am prepared to risk that.
Good {playername} -- I am not used to the hardships of campaigning as you are. I want a home to call my own. If you were lord of a castle or town with a great hall to be {reg0?mistress:keeper} of the household. But I do not wish to live like a hunted animal.
Elope with you? Yes -- we could do that. It is a great step to defy my family -- but a loveless marriage might be a far worse thing! But be warned -- this will be a terrible blow to my {s11}'s prestige and {reg4?she:he} will do everything in {reg4?her:his} power to bring you down.
Quickly
Everything in {reg4?her:his} power
Your lordship... Your ladyship... Would you like me to witness your exchange of vows?
Yes I make the following vow: I {s4} do swear that I accept {playername} as my {reg33?wife:husband} according to the ancient law and custom of our land...
Very good. Do you swear similarly to accept {s4} as your {reg65?wife:husband}?
I do.
Eh
Oh
So I suppose our time together must come to an end...
Yes -- it must be...
Wait -- perhaps there is still a chance for us!
Farewell in the courts and castles of this realm but we must keep our distance from each other. I will remember these days fondly nonetheless.
In that case
Always an honour to serve
I am {playername}.
My name is {playername}. At your service.
Of course. How splendid to finally make your acquaintance.
{playername}? I do not believe I've heard of you before.
I am about to retire for a little while
Now
Can I help you with anything?
I want to know the location of someone.
Now
Is there anything else?
I wished to ask about one of your relatives.
About which lord do you want information?
Your {s11} {s18}
Never mind.
Pardon
{s47}
{12}
{s12}.
{s1}
Do you know of any ongoing feasts?
{s12}
May I have the honor of knowing more about you
{s12}
My {reg65?lady:lord}
My {reg65?lady:lord}
{s9}
{s11}I would like it very much if we could see more of each other.
Ah... You are too kind... My isn't it? I really must be going.
Do you like poetry
That would depend on the poem. Did you intend to recite a verse?
The wind that blows the dry steppe dust...
All the silks of Veluca/All the furs of Khudan...
You are the first and the last/the outer and the inner...
A light pierced the gloom over Wercheg cliffs...
I deflected her skeptical questioning darts/with armor made of purest devotion...
Actually
{s11}
Time is passing quickly
Do you think that we may have a future together
{reg33?Madame:Sir} -- as you may know
It is good to hear that you are thinking seriously about the future. However
It is good to hear that your intentions are honorable. However
Sir -- it is comforting to hear that your intentions towards me are honorable. But perhaps we should take the time to get to allow our affections for each other to grow a little stronger
Oh {playername}
Oh {playername}
Oh {playername}
Perhaps I can persuade you to delay no further.
What do you have to say?
Love is as a rose it may wither.
Oh
Enough with you or with anyone else! You have made me very cross. Please leave me alone for a while. I shall let you know when I am ready to speak to you again.
Oh {playername} if only we could be wed! But my {s11} {s4} would never give {reg4?her:his} permission... Perhaps it is best that we part...
Oh {playername}
Very well -- I shall continue to strive to be worthy of your esteem!
I am tired of these games! I will speak to your family about arranging a wedding immediately..
What? Do you mean that?
No
Yes -- you clearly do not know what is in your best interests.
It grieves me to hear that but such things must be
Who is the miscreant! Tell me his name!
I am tired of these games! I will demand that your family compel you to marry me..
I would be so grateful! But from what I understand if you are committed to another combat. Please conclude your other business in a hurry to rescue me from that {reg0?woman:man}'s attentions!.
Ah! Such talk. But from what I hear
It is {s5}. Please
Will you now? This should be interesting. Very well. Your rival is {s5}. Let us see which of you has the greater mettle.
Oh so I could refuse such a request. But alas I feel compelled to tell you that your rival is {s5}. I wish that heaven had not granted me such a fair visage so that I would not inspire such passions in {reg33?women:men}!
I will have none of such talk! It is nonsense for you and {s5} to fight over -- whoops! I beg of you forget the name that just escaped my lips...
So be it! I shall challenge {reg0?her:him} to a trial of arms!
On second thought
{s15}
Good. You are wise not to let your temper guide you.
Is there anything I can do to win your favour?
I don't have anything else for you to do right now.
Oh {s13} again... {reg0?She:He} is a prisoner in the dungeon of {s14}. We have tried to negotiate {reg0?her:his} ransom but it has been set too high. We can never hope to raise that much money without selling everything we own and God knows {s13} would rather spend {reg0?her:his} life in prison than make us destitute. Instead I came up with a plan to get {reg0?her:him} out of there but it requires someone to make a great sacrifice and so far my pleas have fallen on deaf ears...
My poor {s11} is a prisoner in the {s14} dungeons. The only way we can talk to each other is by exchanging letters whenever we can but the journey is so dangerous that we get little chance to do so. Please would you deliver one for me?
Dear {playername} but you know little of my troubles and I can't possibly ask you to throw yourself into danger on my behalf.
Tell me what the problem is
Very well {playername}. One of the most insidious is {s13}. {reg0?She:He} is going around making terrible accusations against me impugning my honour at every turn! Because {reg0?she:he} cannot harm my {reg1?wife:husband} directly {reg0?she:he} is using me as a target to try and stain our name. You should hear the awful things {reg0?she:he}'s said! I only wish there was someone brave enough to make {reg0?her:him} recant {reg0?her:his} slander but {s13} is a very fine swordsman and {reg0?she:he}'s widely feared...
I fear {reg0?her:him} not
Oh! I can't ask that of you but... I would be forever indebted to you and you are so sure. It would mean so much if you would defend my honour. Thank you a thousand times all my prayers and my favour go with you.
If {reg0?she:he}'s that dangerous
Oh... Perhaps you're right not anymore. Good day to you.
I need to send a letter to {s13} who should be currently at {s4}. If you will be heading towards there
Certainly
I doubt I'll be seeing {s13} anytime soon
I appreciate it and a small sum to cover your travel expenses. Oh one small thing. The contents of this letter are rather confidential so don't share them with anyone along the way. Oh who am I kidding? In truth this is a love letter {playername}. I have been stricken with a deep love for {s13} and I do not know how this letter into which I have poured my heart and soul will be received. I can only hope that he will respond in kind. Go now.
Ah I am sure I will find someone else.
No I've no need for a champion right now.
As you wish it it shall be done.
{s66}
You are a true {reg33?lady:gentleman}
You'll not help a {reg65?woman:young lad} in need? You should be ashamed I have some important embroidery to catch up.
I want to improve my relation with a lord. Can you help me?
{playername}
Hmm. I guess you got on the wrong side of somebody. Very well
{s1}
Never mind. I get along with everyone well enough.
Well I can try to help you there. I am sure a few expensive gifts will make {s10} look at you more favorably.
You can improve your relation with {s10} by sending {reg4?her:him} a gift worth {reg10} aurums. But if you can afford spending {reg11} aurums on the gift that would really help smooth things out.
I think a gift of {reg10} aurums will do.
Maybe I can afford {reg11} aurums.
In that case
I don't think I can afford a gift at the moment.
Excellent. Then I'll choose an appropriate gift for you and send it to {s10} with your compliments. I am sure {reg4?she:he} will appreciate the gesture.
Thank you for your help
I am afraid {playername}. I am sorry.
I must beg my leave.
{s12}
I still don't see why I should accept what you're asking of me.
Then I'll make it worth your while. ({reg8} aurums)
Please
Let me try and convince you. (Persuasion)
Never mind.
Mmm then I'll go with your suggestion.
I'm afraid my finances will not allow for such a gift.
Very well
Let me think about this some more.
Ah. In that case unless you have some further argument to make.
My dear {playername} and I have come to appreciate the wisdom of your proposal.
You've done well by me in the past and for that I will go along with your request but know that I do not like you using our relationship this way.
I am sorry but I need your help in this.
If it will not please you
All right then I will accept this for your sake. But remember you owe me for this.
I don't think I owe you such a favor {playername}. I see no reason to accept this for you.
Is this a joke? You've some nerve asking me for favours and let me assure you you'll get none.
Very well. Make your case.
[Attempt to persuade]
Wait
By God's grace and I do not want to hear any more of it right now.
All right
You've a point I'll admit that much. However I am not yet convinced I should do as you bid.
Enough but I find none of them truly convincing. I stand by what I said before.
Truthfully I fail to see the virtue of your reasoning. What you ask for makes even less sense now than it did before.
I must congratulate you on your victory the housekeepers of this castle are at your service.
Are you the seneschal?
Indeed I am whichever side they might be on. Thus you may count on my utmost loyalty for as long as you are the {reg33?lady:lord} of this place. Now do you intend to keep me on as the seneschal? I promise you will not be disappointed.
Very well
You can stay
Thank you may I inquire as to what you wish to do with the castle?
I will sell it to another lord.
I intend to claim it for myself.
I haven't given it much thought. What are my options?
According to our laws and traditions you could station a garrison here to protect the castle from any immediate counterattacks then request an audience with some wealthy lord and ask him to make you an offer. It would be worth a tidy sum believe you me. If you do not wish to sell then you will have to find yourself a liege lord and protector who would accept homage from you. Without a royal investiture and an army at your back you would have a difficult time holding on to the castle. Both you and {s1} would become great big targets for any man with a few soldiers and a scrap of ambition.
What do you mean I don't need anyone else!
Of course you don't no lord in the land will recognize your claim to the castle unless it is verified by royal decree. They would call {s1} an outlaw stronghold and take it from you at the earliest opportunity. Surely not even you could stand against a whole army.
Hmm. I'll give it some thought.
I am very pleased to hear it if at any time you find you have further need of me I will be in the great hall arranging a smooth handover of the castle to your forces.
Good day
A pleasure to meet you
How can I help you?
What exactly do you do here?
Ah good {reg33?woman:sire}. For example I collect the rents from my lord's estates I manage the castle's storerooms I deal with the local peasantry I take care of castle staff I arrange supplies for the garrison... All mundane matters on this fief are my responsibility on behalf of my lord. Everything except commanding the soldiers themselves.
Good day
Anything else?
I would like to ask you a question...
I wish to know more about someone...
Perhaps I may be able to help. Whom did you have in mind?
Never mind.
I must take my leave of you now. Farewell.
I'll do what I can to help
Perhaps you know where to find someone...
Well
{s1}
Never mind.
{s1}
There! I can see the walls of {s3} in the distance. We've made it safely. Here as I promised. I hope we can travel together again someday.
We've made it this far... Is everything clear up ahead?
There might be bandits nearby. Stay close.
Trust me we're already staying as close to you as we can. Lead the way.
No sign of trouble
I'll breathe easy when we reach {s1} and not a moment sooner. Let's keep moving.
What do you want? We paid our toll to you less than three days ago.
Hail
What do you want? We are but simple merchants so leave us alone.
Be warned
Yes? What do you want?
Anything else?
You are trespassing in the territory of the {s17}. I am confiscating this caravan and all its goods!
What? What nonsense is this? We are at peace with the {s17}
We'll see about that! Defend yourselves!
Hmm. Maybe this was all a misunderstanding. Farewell.
I have an offer for you.
What is it?
I can escort you to your destination for a price.
Nothing. Forget it
I am hunting a group of bandits with the following description... Have you seen them?
{s15}
Tell me about your journey
We are coming from {s11} and heading to {s12}.{s14}
I demand something from you!
What do you want?
There is a toll for free passage here!
Please just let us go.
I don't want any trouble. I can give you {reg6} aurums if you'll let us go.
Agreed
Very well then. Here's {reg6} aurums.
I changed my mind
No
Hand over your gold and valuables now!
Nothing. Forget it.
Are you robbing us?{s11}
Robbing you? No
God {reg33?lass:lad}. For a moment I thought we were in real trouble.
Of course I'm robbing you. Now hand over your goods.
Damn you
These roads are dangerous indeed. One can never have enough protection.
An escort? We're almost there already! Thank you for the offer
We are heading to {s1}. I will pay you {reg2} aurums if you escort us there.
Agreed.
I want you to stay close to us along the way. We'll need your help if we get ambushed by bandits.
Don't worry
Good. Come and collect your money when we're within sight of {s1}. For now
Forget it.
Perhaps another time
Not so fast. First
Never. It is our duty to protect these goods. You shall have to fight us
[Leave]
Good day
Yes. Unlock the door.
No
Yes? What do you want?
Who is imprisoned here?
I want to speak with a prisoner.
I want to release a prisoner.
Alright
{s10} of {s11}.
No one.
As you wish
Very well.
No
Currently
Of course
You need to get permission from the lord to talk to prisoners.
There is nobody inside
All right then. I'll take a look at the prison.
I have more important business to do.
All right then. I'll try that.
Come on now. I thought you were the boss here.
He-heh. You got that right. Still
All right then. I'll leave now.
I found a purse with 100 aurums a few paces away. I reckon it belongs to you.
Ah! I was looking for this all day. How good of you to bring it back {reg33?madam:sir}. Well there can be no harm in letting you inside for a look. Go in.... Just so you know though -- I'll be hanging onto the keys in case you were thinking about undoing anyone's chains.
Give me the keys to the cells -- now!
Help! Help! Prison break!
Never mind.
Your orders
Open the door. I'll go in.
Never mind.
Get out of my sight
Get lost before I lose my temper you vile beggar!
I want to enter the hall and speak to the lord.
[Leave]
Are you out of your mind
What do you want?
I want to enter the hall and speak to the lord.
Never mind.
I'm afraid there is a feast in progress
You can go in after leaving your weapons with me. No one is allowed to carry arms into the lord's hall.
Here
No
Then you can't go in.
What do you want?
Yes?
We need shelter for the night. Will you let us in?
I want to speak with the lord of the castle.
I want to speak with someone in the castle.
[Leave]
Wait here. {s2} will see you.
My lord is not here now.
Who is that?
{s3}
Never mind.
Wait there. I'll send {reg0?her:him} your request.
I'm waiting...
All right. {s2} will talk to you now.
{s2} says {reg0?she:he} will not see you. Begone now.
My lord {s2} will be happy to see you {reg33?madam:sir}. Come on in. I am opening the gates for you.
My lord {s2} is not in the castle now. But I think he would approve of you taking shelter here. Come on in. I am opening the gates for you.
Come on in. I am opening the gates for you.
Come on in. But make sure your men behave sensibly within the walls. My lord {s2} does not want trouble here.
My lord {s2} does not want you here. Begone now.
You have come just in time. Let us join our forces now and teach our enemy a lesson.
You are making a big mistake by fighting against us.
I don't think we have met properly my friend. You just saved my life out there
Your help was most welcome stranger. My name is {s1}. Can I learn yours?
Thanks for your help have we? What is your name?
My name is {playername}.
Well met indeed {playername}. My name is {s1} and I am forever in your debt. If there is ever anything I can help you with
Well met {playername}. I am in your debt for what you just did. I hope one day I will find a way to repay it.
Well met {playername}. I am {s1}. Thanks for your help and I hope we meet again.
Again you save our necks you are the best of friends. {s43}
You arrived just in the nick of time! {playername}. You have my deepest thanks! {s43}
You turned up just in time
Good to see you here
{s43}
{s43}
Thank you for your help {reg33?madam:sir}. You saved {reg1?our lives:my life} out there.
Thank you for your help {reg33?madam:sir}. Things didn't look very well for us but then you came up and everything changed.
Thank you for your help
Oh {reg33?madam:sir}. Thank you so much for rescuing me. Will you take me to my family now?
I am in your debt for freeing me friend.
You're not going anywhere. You'll be my prisoner now!
Alas. Will my luck never change?
You're free to go
Thank you
Would you like to join me?
All right I will join you.
No
Who are you
Good sir the man who led the first Tolranians onto Perisno. Do you our history?
No. I would like to know more.
Of course. We were once a part of the Old Hakkon Empire from an island far from here. The Hakkon ruler was a tyrant and a small group of men escaped using boats. It was a miracle they survived and part of the reason was because of my ancestor Otto Waveshore who was a great captain.
Very interesting. I guess I will leave now.
Yes
Hello again. What is it this time?
Hello again. What is it this time?
I wwould like to know about your past
I am a direct descendant of Otto Waveshore where we could live a new life.
Nevermind.
Who are you?
Why of course. I chronicle the events and history of our great nation.
That's nice. Goodbye.
Could you tell me more about the history of Tolrania?
Of course! What would you like to know about?
King Torlian.
King Torlian was the son of King Calarin he ascended upon the throne. He is not a bad ruler but is always under pressure of his nobles telling him to live up to his father's name.
Personally I think he has for example. King Torlian led the army himself against a superior Elintoran army. Torlian knew that they had many archers so he lined all his Kingsmen with shields up and ordered them to lock shields the Volheere way. They advanced under a hail of arrows. It is said that King Torlian himself was at the front.
While the foolish Elves wasted their arrows on our shields Torlian ordered his mounted Kingsmen Vanguard to advance and after a few hours of scattered fighting the Elves were beaten. We slaughtered over six thousand elves that day and lost only five hundred of our own. T'was a great victory!
That was an interesting talk. Goodbye.
Nevermind.
You are not a lord of Tolrania. Don't think that I will tell any of our secrets!
Hello again. What do you need from this humble scribe?
I would like to know of some history of Tolrania.
Nothing. Sorry for disturbing you.
Who are you?
I am Lord Halgar Malin and proudly too.
The Elintoran fools were so busy concentrating on our kingsmen that they did not notice as our horse archers surrounded and completely devastated their army. Of course it was all over.
Very interesting! Goodbye.
Who are you again?
Hello there
Hello.
Have you found the republic in your journey so far?
A what?
A republic. A system of government where the ruler is...ahh
Tell me more.
I was hoping you'd tell me! I'm a foreigner to these lands but haven't found it so far. Have you seen it?
I'll let you know if I hear anything.
Goodbye crazy man.
Uhh
Hello. Have you found the republic yet? I am a foreigner with a very oppresive government. I came here to search for the ideas of a republic after reading some scripts.
No... I need to be going. Goodbye.
What's new?
Oh and they seek to join those Wolf Knights. Remus left for the town of Sut and he's looking for help.
I don't want no business with the Wolf Knights!
Alright
Hello
I failed the quest.
Hello
Group Sut Giant Interested in the Path of the Wolf is destroyed.
Good work.  That's your reward. But be careful. People over there are watching you. And I don't think their intentions are good.
Hello
I don't want to mess with Wolf Knights or their followers.
Sure
 Greetings
Sure. Thank you.
There you go. Don't worry about paying me or anything - it's on me. The innkeep here doesn't charge me anything after I helped them out with a gambling debt. Then again
What sort of people?
The Wolf Knights. My story with them is a long one
Absolutely. Please tell me.
Where to begin...
I am the younger of two brothers. We lived in a small village nestled amongst the foothills of the Reich's mountains. It was a fairly isolated place that saw the older men mindlessly driving away at their chores while the younger men nurtured dreams of the world that lay beyond the village. Lupus was in charge of guarding the village animals from the wolves that lived not far away. Every night he would stand vigil over our meager livestock with the howling of the wolves to help keep him awake.
Strangely barely visible by the light of Lupus' torch but they never approached. My brother complained to our village elder Garrell that his position was useless. Elder Garrell wouldn't have any of that. 'Nonsense!' he would say and Lupus would spend the next few nights without provisions.
Eventually eyes wide and shoulders shaking. From fear anxiety or exhilaration I couldn't tell. One of the wolves approached him the other night he told me. Spoke to him in the human tongue. Asked him to follow it.
Sounds like he had just fallen asleep or something.
 That's what I thought too. Yet he vehemently denied that suggestion ' I said. I asked him what the wolf had shown him. He wouldn't tell me. He just shook his head and ran off to the village well for water. Then the next day came. Lupus and another lad got into a heated argument that drew the whole village around. The argument threatened to get violent when Lupus's hands blurred faster than our eyes could follow... and smashed the man's head into bloody pieces.
That couldn't be good...
 It certainly wasn't. We stood there in stunned silence while Lupus stared at his bloody hands. Elder Garrell was the first to gather his senses about him. He proclaimed Lupus exiled from the village the moment he did.
Why not just hang him?
I imagine it had something to do with my brother's apparent super strength - getting him in the gallows would've been a hard task I couldn't stand the thought of my brother travelling alone. I asked Elder Garrell if I could leave with Lupus. He nodded but I think his mind was still trying to process what had happened. We left the village at dawn with no farewells from the people we grew up with. As we trudged away Lupus stopped me and laid his hand upon my forehead. 'Blessings upon you brother ' he said. And what happened next...was... I don't know how to describe it.
Imagine the thrill of adrenaline and multiply it a hundred fold. That energy coursed through my    veins leaving me paralyzed... But when I regained my senses I felt reborn. I felt strong. Powerful. Able to take on the world a million to one. It was strange. After his blessing I could lift boulders with one hand and run faster than deer... We began our lives anew. At first we traveled from city to city fighting in the arenas. Our strength was unmatched - Lupus could shatter shields with a flick of his wrist. I would dart around my opponents and knock them to the ground before they knew what was happening.
Surely you are joking.
This is enough. At first I believed your tale
I do not jest. I could knock you to the ground and be out of the city before you could get back on your feet. But moving on... We won fight after fight and we eventually bought our own armor weapons horses even. Notoriety came too and soon we had a small following. Lupus had an idea. Why not go bigger beyond the arena? Become mercenaries he said and see more of what the world has to offer. We recruited from our following of admiring fighters. And so the Wolf Knights were born.
I am afraid I have not the time for any more today. Perhaps another time.
Yes traveler. I shall finish my tale the next time we meet if you will.
Impossible. I'm not going to listen to your story any longer
Forgive me
No thanks. I've got things to attent to.
Hello
Can you finish your story?
Can you repeat the first part of your story?
Goodbye. Maybe next time we shall meet again.
Roaming through the misty forests of the Elintoran Nation meeting Lords and Ladies for employment. It was amazing. And exhilirating. We won battle after battle always fulfilling whatever tasks the lords of Perisno set upon us. More soldiers experienced veterans joined us. The feeling of fabulous wealth and glory... Ah there are no words to describe it. Lupus even found an old abandoned fort. We used it as a base of operations and with our newfound wealth we had turned it into a fortress to rival that of any lord's...
It all sounds too good...
Of course it was. Life does not ride upon a single wave of euphoria. My brother was changing. I didn't notice it as we ourselves were changing as well. We were getting more ruthless. Brutal. Merciless. Bloodlust became our one true companion in battle blind rage consuming us as we tore down our enemies. Lupus was getting more ideas. 'These so called lords are weak ' he told us one night. 'They are foolish ever quarrelsome unfit to hold their titles! They cater to the feeble leech off the strong!''My brothers Perisno is ripe for the taking!' he yelled.
'Let me cast down the pretenders that lounge in their thrones our adrenaline going into overdrive. The idea that we could hold our own kingdom or even conquer all of Perisno? Anything seemed possible to us.
So
Well our lances lowered swords swinging their blood splashing... There was a caravan guard. Couldn't have been any older than me or Lupus when we left our home. I killed his horse while he attempted to flee sending him to the ground leaving him trapped under the weight of his dead companion. 'Mercy ' he begged with my sword at his throat. He was a grown man fresh into adulthood... and bawling his eyes out like a small child sobbing into the night.
I did nothing. In the midst of the clashing swords and dying screams and I was staring at the red and pink gore splashed across my greaves...Lupus came in bloodied armor on his black mare saw what was happening and plunged his sword into the guard's chest. He twisted the blade and drew out the man's screams before he choked on his own blood. And my brother simply glared at me and rode off. Later that night he drew me away from the camp. I thought he wanted to reprimand me scold me for my hesitation. 'I can't do this anymore ' I heard myself saying.
The most peculiar sensation overcame me staring at a sword embedded in my gut. My own brother had stabbed me. 'You are weak ' I heard Lupus say. 'The pack cannot function with a lone wolf in its midst. Face death bravely Remus.' And he left. The last I ever saw of him... his silhouette blocking out the stars above. The night was getting darker the stars dimmer. I passed out from the wound and might have died were it not for a passing elven lord. I owe Archduke Methenor my life. Had his party not come investigating what had happened I would surely have died isolated and alone. He recognized my face from seeing it in the arenas and took me into his castle to heal me.
So
It took months without inferring I helped organize it and discovered that they had left before Methenor came. I felt different once I had become healed more determined and less wild. I turned down Methenor's suggestion that I swear homage to Queen Arwen thanked him by swearing a life debt to him and left for the Reich. I eventually found the old village I grew up in... in burned ruins. Everyone dead and gone. Bandits apparently. Perhaps it was Lupus.
 I tried finding the fortress we had set up for the Wolf Knights. I couldn't find it I now spend my days travelling the land looking for hints of Lupus' whereabouts. Perisno needs to know the threat he poses. His world is one where only the strong will thrive while the rest shall be cast down.
That was quite the tale... thank you for sharing it.
No friend. And remember... the wolf can survive without the pack.
I shall indeed beware them ...
Wait! I almost forgot! Could you visit Archduke Methenor sometime Remus still search for it. I am sorry.'? Please accept this as a token of my gratitude for listening as well. Anyone who is forced to endure my dreary tale should at least get some type of reward.
Goodbye. I hope I will see you again sometime.
Of course. Thank you again for that story.
Remus told me to say that he is sorry and he still searches for it.
What? How do you know Remus? That lad is still alive?
Yes. I met him in a tavern and he told me to convene the message to you. He told me his entire story. It was saddening.
Indeed. That lad has had a miserable past. I hope he is well ... (the lord's eyes grow distant). Thank you for giving me this. Take this as a token of my gratitude. Farewell.
Those bastards HIC.
Listen my good man
Just go away like everyone else HIC... Just leave me alone... HIC
Alright... Alright... Just give me that *you take his drink*. Now
(You spend some time with the man as he sobs quietly into his hands. He eventually becomes -somewhat- sober.)
You are still here? Well... alright. If it returns me to my drinking sooner there was a great realm going from the mountains to the south all the way to the Elintoran forest in the east. The name of this place was the Kingdom of Randor. The Kingdom's might was feared by everyone in Perisno. Even the elves showed us respect. But none of that mattered. When Randor was at it's strongest the invaders came. They claimed to have fled from a far distant land. A land where disease war and famine did rot the very essence of the land the people.
They claimed they weren't like them they plotted with the other kingdoms. Together they formed an alliance against us. The King of Randor couldn't believe it. They had deceived him they had taken his hospitality and tossed it to the ground like garbage. The alliance took the King by surprise and..
Wait wait wait. What does this have to do with your drinking problem?
If someone didn't interrupt me the alliance took the King by surprise. Before he could even send out his orders the alliance attacked. In no time at all they had taken half of his country. Together they formed a coalition army and marched on the capital of the Kindgom of Randor. The Great city of Beler the last stronghold of Randor. The siege went on for months. By the time the coalition army entered the city many of it's inhabitants had already died from hunger or by their own hands fearing the horrors of being conquered.
The King and his family were left alone in the citadel protected by the last of the Royal guard. That is when the worst tragedy struck captain of the Royal guard betrayed the King. He butchered the King's family and gave their heads along with the captured King to the leaders of the coalition army. All of this in exchange for the title and rights of the Lord of Beren.
What he didn't know was that the coalition leaders were already planning on betraying him. They did just that when they razed the city to the ground killing off the last of the Randorians...
Are you sure you are sober? I've never heard of Randor or anyone you've mentioned... anyway
Don't you get it they are liars they are thieves! They betrayed me and left me to wander the world as punishment for thinking I could rule something they wanted to rule themselves.
Look sir so you were the King of Randor?
The man looks sadly at the player I was... But that's a mistake I'll never make again.
Okay... I'll leave you to your drinking then.
Sounds like a load of grown up Falki dung.
Why you... you... you little runt! I am the King! I'll crush you!
(After your previous talk with the man thinking of the days of old when he was the ruler of Randor.)
I told you!! DOOOOM! RUN!! THE ZANN ARE HERE! IN PERISNO!! They will conquer all with armor as black as midnight will conquer the world. DOOOM!
How... how could it be! The Zann have been defeated. Doomsday is over. We have survived!
DOOOM! We are ALL RUINED!!!!.
Do you feel alright good man?
They are coming... He is coming... They they will make us all slaves light will be no more. They are coming... He is coming...
Who's they? Who's he? What are rambling on about?
They live over the infinite waves he will lead them. Revenge power a new empire will they come for. Over our dead bodies our skulls our children will they rule. For he they are coming... Run we must for all hope his lost. The final hour is upon us we must ready for when they he arrives. Flee we must... Flee...
Who's coming
Deadly they are we must run for all hope is lost. DOOMSDAY IS UPON US. The GODS have forsaken us... RUN HIDE FLEE those are our only chances. The others are already coming they will follow them here. They will never stop he won't let them. They will chase the others until they slaughter all of them and then they will come for us.
This is your last chance mad-man. WHO ARE THEY? What do you mean by doomsday?
The ZANN are coming. The invincible army is crossing the Ocean thousands they will bring thousands more await to cross aswell. We are doomed we are dead we stand no chance...
(You leave the Mad-man talking to himself. Invincible army
DOOM! DOOMSDAY is COMING!! THE ZANN the gods have FORSAKEN US!
What is the story behind your household troops
You wish to ask about my pride or 'Ghareebian' culture. They are like the dragoners of the Reich except they are more nimble and trained by Draharans!
Very interesting.
Anything else?
Why of course. I chronicle the events and history of our great nation.
Could you tell me more about the history of the Elintoran Nation?
Of course! What would you like to know about?
Queen Arlina.
Ah. You wish to know about the queen. Well although many find her rash and too hotheaded. She was always like that even as a child. She has led our nation well but many feel that she shoul not rule because of her age. She is very young and her critics say that she is inexperienced.
Personally for example.
When Arlina took the throne one by one destroyed every Demo Worshipper lair she could find. She also strengthened greatly the patrols around the kingdom and we have not had an issue with the Demon Worshippers for a long time.
That was an interesting talk. Goodbye.
Nevermind.
You are not a lord of the Elintoran Nation. Don't think that I will tell any of our secrets!
I would like to know some history of the Elintoran Nation.
I am a Dragon Anrufer
What do you mean
There are no dragons in this land we thought it would provide more breeding spots and possibly dragon brethren. However I have called for a long time and there are no Perisno dragons that have responded. I will continue trying though and so will all who share my title.
Very interesting. I must leave now.
Who are you again?
Hail and well met
Hello. I am {playername}. Forgive me for saying so
Good sir
Indeed
We have finally found the one! We will join you to conquest!
I'm not the one you think I am
Hello the proud people of this land. Who are you?
Hello. I am {playername}.
We are under the protection of our lord who has charged us with the task of hunting down any evil men around here.
Well
Spare me. I am the King of my country. You would not like our revenge.
I'll spare your life
You will pay for this!
I'll spare your life
Hah! King? You look like a fool. You can die.
If the likes of you can become king
Spare me. I will repent from my sins.
I'll spare your life
You are a hypocrite.
I'll be taking your money instead.
You have defeated me
No I will take your money.
When I come back
Bah! Make it quick!
No I will take your money.
Why have you forsaken me
If you are going to do it
Good. Because you have no reason to. I will let you go
Very well.
Tell your Emperor that once I kill him as well
What a joke!
You have defeated me
No I will take your money.
When I come back
Tell your Emperor that once I kill him as well
What a joke!
Spare me. I am the Chosen One. You would not like the wrath of the entire Illica nation upon you.
Spare me. I am the Chosen One. You would not like the wrath of the entire Illica nation upon you.
I'll spare your life
Shut up already and fight. I don't care who you are.
Chosen One? Are you sure you're not delusional?
Spare me. I am the last hope of the Third Legion. You would not like the wrath of all six legions upon you.
I'll spare your life
I thought you guys died out ages ago?
Third Legion? I'm surprised you aren't ancient already.
This is not the end! When I return
Not before I take your money!
Someday
Until now
Ahhhhh! Spare me
Very well.
Oh
I think I will be taking your money instead.
If you kill me for the sake of this land!
I don't think this land cares if you live or die. However I will let you live ... and take your treasury!
We will meet again and I will make sure to destroy you myself.
I'm not sure if you're crazy
If you kill me I dare you!
I'll let you live
Take it then. It means nothing to me. I will have my revenge
Target practice? Are you talking about yourself?
You can kill me
I won't kill you
I won't kill you
This is not the end.
I will do the world a great favor by eradicating the filth you are from the world.
I am a priest. I see in your eyes that you are a pious soul.
May the Gods guard you
Your Gods are a disgrace
You... you... you are spawn from the Underworld
I believe in your Gods.
I do not believe in your Gods but I want to.
Goodbye...
I am here for help you but you must help us too.But you need to donate 300 aurums. People in this kingdom know of the generosity of {playername} but you need to donate 1000 coins
Thanks you
Thanks you
Are you selling your Faith? What will the Gods say?!
Actually
Well what do we have here! A victim for sacrifice perhaps?
You are the one who is going to die. For Mal'Kiarj!
It looks like those foolish priests have been busy. Come to die
Actually I think I will kill you instead. For Mal'Kij!
I have done it!
I knew you could! Those disbelievers will need to think twice before harassing us again. Here is your reward
Is there anything I can do to help our cause?
My son my champion? Fight them for the King of the Gods Mal'Kij!
I will gladly do it. Do you have any tips for me?
I have not the time for this. Maybe later ...
These Disbelievers are very strong. They will be hard to defeat I will reward you with a gift.
I knew you could! Those infidels will need to think twice before harassing us again. Here is your reward
Is there anything I can do to help our cause?
My son my champion? Fight them for the King of the Gods Mal'Kiarj?
I will gladly do it. Do you have any tips for me?
I have not the time for this. Maybe later ...
These Infidels are very strong. They will be hard to defeat I will reward you with a gift.
You'll not live long to enjoy your victory. My kinsmen will soon wipe out the stain of this defeat.
You are my prisoner now.
Damn you. You will regret this.
You're free to go this time
We will meet again.
{s9}
I think that is a wise move. Good luck to you.
Your relations with {s4} are not all that they could be. As {reg4?she:he} is my {s11} perhaps. If you can provide me with a bolt of velvet and a length of furs I can have one made and sent to {reg4?her:him.}
Splendid. I shall await the materials.
As you may realize they feel that {reg4?she:he} is {s7} and worry that {reg4?she:he} will {s8}. Were you to denounce {s4} to {reg4?her:his} face you may reap much popularity -- although of course you would make an enemy of {reg4?her:him} and risk being challenged to a duel.
As you may realize and a liability to our cause. We worry that {reg4?she:he} will {s8}. People know my views on {s4} already but if you were to denounce {reg4?her:him} to {reg4?her:his} face you would further erode his standing -- and discourage our liege from entrusting {reg4?her:him} with any more power or responsibility. Of course you would make an enemy of {reg4?her:him} and risk being challenged to a duel.{s9}
We appreciate what you are doing. I find such intrigues distasteful
Very well. It is always risky to involve yourself in intrigues of this sort I think you will benefit.
You and I have a common interest in seeking to curtail the rise of {s4}. I feel that {reg4?she:he} is {s7} it might discourage {s9} from granting {s4} any further powers or responsibilities at least for a while and I would be much obliged to you.
We appreciate what you are doing. I find such intrigues distasteful
I cannot think of anything right now
I like that idea.
Hmm.. Maybe you can think of something else?
Let us discuss another topic
Very well.
Very well.
Very well.
Very well.
Mercy! Please don't kill me!
I have nothing against you {reg65?woman:man}. But {s2} wants you dead. Sorry.
Damn you! May you burn in Hell!
I'll let you live
Of course I'll do anything. Just spare my life...
You are going to forget about {s2}'s debt to you. And you will sign a paper stating that {reg4?she:he} owes you nothing.
Yes
And if my lord hears so much of a hint of a complaint about this issue and it won't matter how much you scream for mercy then. Do you understand me?
Yes {reg33?madam:sir}. Don't worry. I won't make any complaint.
Good. Go now
Good day to you
Hello! I'm {playername}.
Would you  like something to eat?
Yes! Thanks!
Out here? No...
Okay. Let's go sit down. Do you happen to be a mercenary leader?
Yes I do.

Mind your manners within the walls and we'll have no trouble.
Mind your manners within the walls and we'll have no trouble.
Good day Augustus Makmix.
I have heard that you sell the finest mercenaries here. Is this true?
Indeed. Would you like to hire some? These upgrade into the finest soldiers in all of Perisno.
My men have grown a bit restless. Good idea.
Yes.

That is too expensive.
They are all at your service
Glad to see you again
Indeed.
I would like to know your story.
I was born about 29 years on a little island where the names and architecture are of an old era.  Raised in a noble home I was always over eager for adventure and battle. I was taught from age 7 to wield two handers and throwing weapons.
I came to Perisno seeking adventure I settled down and built an outpost - this very one by myself. I raised my own personal army soon enough with the help of some useful connections and loyal friends. However local squabbling nobles attacked us and decimated us even though we won. I hanged the foolish lords who did this. I realized that my life was not going anywhere so I decided to set up the Freelancer Guild. We are basically mercenaries that are freelancers and help whoever pays us.
Very interesting!
No thanks. I have to go.
Do I know you? Did my brother send you?!
Do I know you? Did my sister send you?!
Do I know you? Did my father send you?!
Do I know you? Did my uncle send you?!
Do I know you? Did my commander send you?!
Do I know you? Did my master send you?!
I am looking for a fugitive by the name of {s4}. You fit the description.
Nothing. Sorry to trouble you.
How do I know you're not a bountyhunter?!!
I can assure you I....
Allright so I made a mistake! ONE mistake!! Can't a man start over?!! Do I have to keep on paying?!! HUH?!?! Maybe I should make another mistake!!!
What do you want?
I am looking for a murderer by the name of {s4}. You fit his description.
Nothing. Sorry to trouble you.
I don't understand
Then drop your sword. If you are innocent and if they verify your story I'll go on my way.
I'm not going anywhere today.
No problem. I really just need your head
I come not for money
Alas
Die
Yes {reg33?madam:sir}?
Take this letter to {s1} and give it to {s2}.
Nothing. Nothing at all.
Yes {reg33?madam:sir}. You can trust me. I will not fail you.
Good. I will not forget your service. You will be rewarded when you return.
Arggh! I can't do this. I can't send you to your own death!
What do you mean {reg33?madam:sir}?
There's a trap set up for you in the town. {s3} ordered me to sacrifice one of my chosen warriors to fool the enemy
Thank you
Don't worry I'm on my way.
Good day {reg33?madam:sir}. Such fine weather don't you think? If you'll excuse me now I must go on my way.
In the name of {s1}
You won't get me alive!
Never mind me. I was just passing by.
Greetings.
In the name of {s1} You are under arrest!
You will have to fight us first!
Never mind me. I was just passing by.
Good day {reg33?madam:sir}.
I have been sent by your {s4} whom you are running from. He will not punish you if you return now.
My good {reg33?madam:sir}. Our lives at our village {s1} was unbearable. We worked all day long and still went to bed hungry. We are going to {s6} to start a new life
You have gone against our laws by running from your bondage. You will go back to {s1} now!
Well I haven't seen you.
All right {reg33?madam:sir}. As you wish. We'll head back to {s5} now.
God bless you
Good day {reg33?madam:sir}. Don't worry. If anyone asks
I have changed my mind. You must back to your village!
Good. Go quickly now before I change my mind.
Good day {reg33?madam:sir}. We were heading back to {s5}
Do not test my patience. You are going back now!
Well then go.
We are on our way back to {s5} {reg33?madam:sir}.
Make haste now. The sooner you return the better.
Good. Keep going.
Yes {reg33?madam:sir}. As you wish.
This must be your unlucky day in these parts.
Heh. For me
A bounty hunter! Kill {reg33?her:him}! Kill {reg33?her:him} now!
What do you want? You want to pay us some more money?
Sorry to trouble you. I'll be on my way now.
Yeah. Stop fooling around and go make some money. I want to see that purse full next time I see you.
No. It's your turn to pay me this time.
What nonsense are you talking about? You want trouble? You got it.
We are the free brothers. We will fight only for ourselves from now on. Now give us your gold or taste our steel.
When I'm done with you
There's no need to fight. I am ready to pay for free passage.
Good. You are clever. Now I reckon a fellow like you could pretty easily afford {reg5} aurums. We wouldn't want to be too greedy now would we? Pay us and then you can go.
All right here's your {reg5} aurums.
I don't have that much money with me
Too bad. Then we'll have to sell you to the slavers.
Heh. That wasn't difficult was it? All right. Go now.
Good day dear {reg33?madam:sir}. How can I help you?
Anything else?
I was told to deliver you {reg9} units of {s4}.
At last! My stock was almost depleted. I had paid the cost of the {s4} in advance. Here
I was told to deliver you {reg9} units of {s4}
Attacked by bandits eh? You are lucky they left you alive. Anyway so you will probably be charged for this loss.
I was told to deliver you {reg9} units of {s4}
What? I was waiting for that {s4} for weeks! And now you are telling me that you lost it? You may rest assured that I will let {s1} know about this.
I'd like to buy every man who comes in here tonight a jar of your best {s0}.
I'd like to flip a coin with you.
Alright. How much money do you want to lose?
50 aurums.
100 aurums.
200 aurums.
500 aurums.
1000 aurums.
2000 aurums.
I can't afford it.
Nevermind.
Okay. Head or tail?
Head.
Tail.
Well
Look
Damn
Here are your {reg6} aurums.
Of course
Let everyone know of the generosity of {playername} to the people of {s10}.
Don't worry {s0}. Your name will be cheered and toasted here all night.
Actually
Have you heard of anyone in this realm who might have a job for a {reg33?woman:man} like myself?
Hmm... Well
Let me think some more...
I have heard that {s7} {s9}{s10} You may want to speak with {reg4?her:him}.
There may be other work the villages around here frequently need help although they'd be more likely to pay you with a wedge of cheese and goodwill than with cold hard aurums.
I'll keep my ears open for other opportunities. You may want to ask again from time to time.
Be sure to bring me more of your prisoners when you have them.
I wish to hire some slaves from you.
Great! You can buy them for sixty aurums each - my slaves do not come cheap! With proper training
Nevermind. That's a tad too expensive for me.
Expensive? That's nothing! I'll buy them.
Here
Nevermind. Good day.
I would like to hire a male slave.
I would like to hire a female slave.
I would like to hire 5 male slaves.
I would like to hire 5 female slaves.
I would like to hire 15 male slaves.
I would like to hire 15 female slaves.
I would like to hire 50 male slaves.
I would like to hire 50 female slaves.
That is too expensive.
It was nice doing business with you
Do you have any larger bounties for me?
Why
Can you help?
No thanks. Maybe next time.
I failed the quest.
I found these scoundrels and I gave them their punishment!
Good work.  That's your reward. But be careful. People over there are watching you. And I don't think their intentions are good.
I found the mysterious group and I gave them their punishment!
Good work.  That's your reward. But be careful. People over there are watching you. And I don't think their intentions are good.
The noble said that the prisoners should not be far away and he would reward the person who defeated them handsomely. If you are looking for a bounty
No thanks. Maybe next time.
I'll do it.
Excellent! I'll contact the noble and tell him have a reward ready ... if you succeed
Who are you? What do you want?
You've been causing a lot of trouble around here and I don't have to answer to you. Surrender or die!
I found the dangerous bandits and I gave them their punishment!
Excellent! I knew that you would succeed. Earlier today he warned me that if I took it for myself he would come after me. So here's your reward.
If you are looking for a bounty
No thanks. Maybe next time.
I'll do it.
Excellent! I will await news of your success.
Who are you? What do you want?

That is a shame. You can come back next time for more quests
Are there any bounties posted?
About the bounty you gave me...
Yes
I found {s4} hiding at {s3} and gave them their punishment.
I'm afraid they got away.
I am still working on it.
I am afraid I won't be able to do this quest.
I see. Well why are you still here?
{s43}
Well done and a bounty you shall have. 300 aurums and not a copper less!
Let me take the money
This is blood money. I can't accept it.
Of course
You are a {s25} for whom justice is its own reward {playername} as you wish it. An honourable sentiment to be true.
It is a sad day when that {s44} manages to avoid the hand of justice yet again. I thought you would be able to do this
So you reckon yourself a bounty hunter
I have something you could help with or stole something or....whatever and have been on the run from their judgement ever since. There is a bounty of 300 aurums on their head. Associates of the murderer who while they issue them no ill will...reckon that this outlaw may have taken refuge with their kinsmen at {s3}. You might be able to hunt them down and give them what they deserve... ^and claim the bounty for yourself of course.
I'm sorry
I will claim this bounty.
I am too busy to go after them at the moment.
That's excellent good hunting to you.
As you wish
I guess I should leave now.
Good day {reg33?madam:sir} or perhaps an item in good shape for a low price. Do you wish to try your fortune?
That sounds good. I wish to have a try.
Greetings to you
Why is that?
I broker ransoms for the poor wretches who are captured in these endless wars. Normally I travel between the salt mines and the slave markets on the coast and I come across a fellow dragging around a captive or two well there's no harm in a little speculative investment is there? And you look like the type who might have a prisoner to sell.
What if their families can't pay?
Oh assuming he's got the proper motivation! And if in the end they cannot come up with the silver then there are always slave merchants who are looking for galley slaves. One cannot do Heaven's work with an empty purse you see.
What can I get for a prisoner?
It varies. I fancy that I have a fine eye for assessing a ransom. There are a dozen little things about a man that will tell you whether he goes to bed hungry and if you ever want to do my job you'll want to learn about every landowning family in Perisno their estates their heraldry their offspring both lawful and bastard and of course their credit with the merchants.
Would you be able to ransom me if I were taken?
Of course. I'm welcome in every court in Perisno. There's not many who can say that! So always be sure to keep a pot of aurums buried somewhere
That's all I need to know. Thank you.
Greetings. If you have any prisoners
Anyway I will be happy to buy them from you.
Then you'd better bring your purse. I have got prisoners to sell.
I want to sell all the prisoners I have with me.
Let's see...  I'll give you {reg0} aurums for your {reg1} {reg2?prisoners:prisoner}.  Do we have a deal?
We have a deal.
Let me think about it again.
Tell me about what you do again.
I wish to ransom one of my companions.
Whom do you wish to ransom?
{s4}
Never mind
Let me check my ledger they say... Now... For the very reasonable sum of {reg5} denars which includes both the ransom and my commission and expenses we can arrange it so that {s5} can once again enjoy {reg4?her:his} freedom. What do you say?
Here's your money.
I can't afford that right now.
Splendid! In a few days you should find {s5} riding to rejoin you blinking in the sunlight and no doubt very grateful! Is there any other way in which I can help you?
Of course by the way -- I've never actually seen one myself on account of the pitch-black darkness. Anyway I'm sure that {s5} will understand why it's important for you to control expenditures. Now... Was there anything else?
Not this time. Good-bye.
Let me see what you have...
I will be staying here for a few days. Let me know if you need my services.
Greetings
Greetings
Thanks. I'll go and find {reg3?her:him} there.
Thanks
Greetings
Yes?
What can you tell me about this land?
Perisno is divided into rival kingdoms nor completely eliminate them. As a result there's seldom a break to the bitter wars which plague this land and drain its life blood. Well at least this must be a good place to be for an adventurer such as yourself. With some luck and skill you can make a name for yourself here amass a fortune perhaps or gain great power. Opportunities are endless and so are the rewards if you are willing to risk your life for them.
Tell me more about these opportunities.
Thank you. That was all I needed to know
Well
The kingdoms will pay good money for mercenaries if they are engaged in a war. If you have done a bit of fighting castles and towns and get rich with the taxes and revenues of these estates. Normally only nobles of the realm own land in this way but in time of war a king will not hesitate to accept someone who distinguishes {reg33?her:him}self on the battlefield as a vassal and grant {reg33?her:him} the right to own land.
It is not unheard-of for adventurers to renounce allegiance to a Perisnon king altogether and claim land in their own name. This is a difficult path however as the great nobles of the land with their long ancestries are not likely to accept such upstarts as their monarch. Such rulers would need to be very careful in establishing their right to rule or they would be set upon from all sides.
It might be easier for an adventurer like yourself to pledge support to an existing king's rival.  There are many such pretenders in Perisno -- those who are born to the right family they could easily start civil wars and perhaps even replace the king one day.
Interesting. Where can I find these claim holders?
I guess I heard enough already. Thank you.
A claim holder's life would be in danger in his own country of course. Therefore raising support and hoping to find someone willing to champion their cause. I usually hear news about some of them and may be able to tell you their location with some precision. But of course I would ask for a little something for such a service.
I want to know the location of a claimant.
Whose location do you want to know?
{s11}
Never mind.
I can reveal this information to you for a small price
All right. Here is 30 aurums.
Never mind.
{s15} is currently at {s11}.
I want to know something about a person.
About whom do you wish to hear?
Rafklazan
Ah.. funny you ask about that one. One of my associates was talking about him just the other day as well. Rafklazan is the leader of the Rafkla clan back in his homeland in Nisaynia but somehow a wind blew them off course and they were blown away and scattered. For days they sailed until they reached Perisno. He is a formidable one with a large army. You will need to be careful if you ever venture near Reich or Draharan lands where he spends most of his time now wandering around. Rafklazan himself is particularly dangerous. It is said he ripped apart a bear with his bare hands! Can you believe it? Yes I think you will need to watch yourself if you ever face him in battle.
Zeladeck
Zeladeck living in the forest near the mountain range of Illica. One day he found a big injured Falki in the forest and tended its wound. Nursing the everyday Falki for half a year Zel and the Falki became best friend. The Falki then regained its strength and took Zel to the Illica clan only to reveal that that Falki is a direct descendant of the Sky King the strongest and most respected Falki. He was 10 by that time. Zeladeck then was trained and with his gifted ability of a warrior plus the good teamwork between him and his Falki he soon became the greatest Falki Knight only at the age of 19. Now he thinks he is the Chosen One to lead the Falki to victory.
Octiem
Octiem is an odd one. He is the leader of the fabled Third Legion the Third Legion is said to have ruled the entire world. Octiem believes that he is the one to lead his men to victory like his ancestors did. He proclaims himself as the one that was chosen to lead and rule the new empire. In reality he is one delusional bastard who thinks only of himself and has ambitions that are beyond comprehension by the normal man (laughs). Anyway little is known about him and it is said that he was born to lead raised by wolves after being abandoned as a baby. Should you ever fight him be careful for his army of loyal followers are very strong.
Ral'Daiun.
I do not know much about Ral'Daiun. It is said that his title is 'Ral for his assassins do all the dirty work for him while he collects the money. He has a hidden castle somewhere in the mountains but you will not find it for it is too well hidden. Years ago the assassins were only a small organization but now they seem to have quadrupled in size and number. You must be careful fighting them for they have some new technology in their crossbows.
Zolona
Ah hmm? She is the queen of her people I am told with the duty of a mountain upon her frail little soldiers. She acts brave and strong but in reality she is just a little girl without anyone to guide her. She is the daughter of the dead clain leader of the Syrin Nomads and she has been chosen to lead her people to salvation. How she will do this is beyond me. You must be careful though for her honor guard is very strong and can wield the bow better than even the Draharan camel riders. Should you meet her know that while she is a hard enemy to defeat she isn't invincible. Also should you defeat her remember to show her mercy for even I feel sorry for her. You should too.
Ulfheonar.
Ulfheonar is one of those cursed Volheere raiders. What's more and in particular the leader of those Volheere Berserkers. Now you are young reckless and headstrong. Word of advice -- don't go looking for Ulf. He and his men are all berserkers without a care or doubt about their own safety. If you fight him you will most likely lose and even if you win you will lose many. Ulf was a Jarl back in Nisaynia where he came from. I think he was chosen as the leader of his people sent to sail to a new land and populate it. I think he mistook 'populate' for loot and pillage however as thousands of men and women can gladly tell you. Now anything else you would like to know?
Nibor
Nibor Hood is the leader of the Free-Men rebellion of Tolrania. They are rebelling because they think the Tolranian Government are hypocrites the government of Tolrania do need to change. Anyway enough of me going off topic. Nibor was born and raised in a noble family like his sister Lady Tylora. He grew sickened by all the flaws in the system and wanted a change. A republic he said. We need to make Tolrania a republic and fulfill our founders's wishes. Trouble is you know what happens when someone wants to overthrow you right? The King of Tolrania sent his men to kill Nibor but he escaped and ever since then he and a band of loyal followers have been wrecking havoc in Tolrania.
Nobody.
Have you heard anything interesting lately?

Farewell.
Greetings. They say you're the kind of {reg33?woman:man} who'd be interested to hear that I travel frequently to {s17}. I'll tell you all I know for a mere 100 aurums.
Here's 100 aurums. Tell me what you know.
Sorry friend. I am not interested.
Well
Good day {reg33?madam:sir}
Yes. Show me what you have for sale.
Of course {reg33?madam:sir}.
Anything else?
Nothing. Thanks.
Greetings to you
What is it you do?
I have some questions about courtship in Perisno
Can you teach me any poems?
I can teach you the poem replete with symbols and metaphor. It describes how a brave but rough warrior wins the heart of his lady by learning the virtues of chivalry becoming a true and noble knight. Its theme -- that the role of a woman is to inspire but also civilize a man -- is appreciated by some noble ladies but not all.
I can teach you the poem which can be interpreted either erotically or spiritually. The lover realizes the majesty of the divine by gazing upon the body of his beloved. I believe that it appeals to women of a certain romantic temperament but you risk scandalizing or boring others.
I can teach you the tale of Kais and Layala. It is a sad and simple story -- the shepherd boy Kais and the nobleman's daughter Layala love each other unwilling to forget his true love driving himself mad with longing. Some ladies melt at the sweetness of his sorrows; others glaze over at his self-pity.
I can teach you part of the saga of Helgerad and Kara. It is a heroic tale as he is the only man who can defeat her in combat. Her father who pledged her to another comes with his sons and his huscarls to kill Helgered. They fight and Helgered and Kara slaughter the entire host except for Kara's beloved younger brother -- who alas grows up to avenge his father by slaying Helgered. The depiction of warrior and shieldmaiden as equals will appeal to some women but a mail-wearing blood-spattered heroine will shock and repulse others.
I can teach you the poem which satirizes the conventions of courtly love. A lover steals into a garden in Veluca and plies her with lots of witty lines to persuade his lover to submit to his embraces. She shoots down all of his advances one by one then when he is downcast she takes him in her arms and tells him that she wanted him all along except on her terms not his. A lady with a sense of humor may find it amusing but others might feel that they are the ones who are being mocked.
To teach it to you of course a small fee for my services. About 300 aurums would suffice.
I believe you already know the poems I am best equipped to teach.
Yes -- teach me that one
Never mind
Very well -- repeat after me:^   I deflected her skeptical questioning darts^   with armor made of purest devotion^   purged in the forge of my heart^   from the slag of any baser emotion
Very well -- repeat after me:^   You are the first and the last^   the outer and the inner^   When I drink from the cup of love^   I escape the tread of time^   A moment in solitude with you^   Would have no beginning and no end
Very well -- repeat after me:^  The wind that blows the dry steppe dust^  Stirs the curtains in your tower^  The moon that lights my drunken path home^  Looks on you sleeping in your bower^  If I cried out to the wind^  Could it carry a message from my lips?^  If I wept before the moon^  Would it grant me just a glimpse?
Very well -- repeat after me:^   A light pierced the gloom over Wercheg cliffs...^   Where charge of surf broke on shieldwall of shore^   Grey-helmed and grey-cloaked the maiden stood^   On wave-steed's prow of timbers cracking^   She cried out to her hearth-brothers arrayed for war
Very well -- repeat after me:^All the silks of Veluca I bestow for love^And the sake of my own happiness^But brought you a gift? Let us see! Let us see!^Or should tell my father how you came to see me?
'I deflected her skeptical questioning darts...'
'You are the first and the last..'
'The wind that blows the dry steppe dust...'
'A light pierced the gloom over Wercheg cliffs...'
'All the silks of Veluca...'
Pshaw... What kind of doggerel is that?
Very well. If the poem is not to your taste what is important is not what pleases you. What is important is what your pleases your audience. If you wish to learn the poem I am still willing to teach.
Very good -- but there are many stanzas to go. Now
Can you tell me anything about the eligible maidens in this realm?
About whom did you wish to know?
Just tell me the latest piece of gossip
{s10}
Never mind
{s16}
{reg0?She:He} is married to you no one would dream that {reg0?she:he} would do anything to engender gossip.
{s12}.
{s12}.
Very interesting -- but let us speak of something else.
Very interesting -- is there any more news?
What? I'll make that miscreant face my sword
Do you mean that? {s11} will be honor-bound to fight you even in this warlike age.
Yes -- I intend to force {s11} to relinquish his suit of {s12}
No -- I let my passions run away with me
As you wish. I'll spead the word of your intentions
Do you know of any ongoing feasts?
{s12}
Good-bye.
What do you wish to know?
Can I answer any other questions for you?
Is there a place for me in the game of love?
How would a suitor meet a lady?
Having met a lady
Tell me about marriage and love among the nobility of Perisno
Nobles are an odd lot. In Perisno to be given away to a lord with whom her father wishes to make an alliance. Yet the great families of this land idealize pure love between man and woman and I have seen many a hardened warrior weep copious tears at the doomed ardour of Sahira and Janun in the songs -- even as he made plans to break his own daughter's heart.
Fathers differ however feel that to allow their daughters any choice at all would be to diminish their own authority and insist on imposing a groom whether she likes it or not.
But the majority will steer a middle course -- they will want to make the final decision about a groom a happy marriage is more likely to produce heirs. So there is a place for courtship and for the use of skill and passion to win a lady's heart.
What if a lady and her father disagree about a suitor?
It happens sometimes that a bride elopes. This is a major blow to the father's prestige it is possible that a war may be fought over a woman. Now that is a fine topic for a song.
In the end most brides will submit to their parents' choice. A noblewoman's family is everything to her and few are brave enough to risk its disapproval for the sake of man she barely knows. She may pine for her lover but still accept the groom -- and without tragic love what would we have to sing about?
Of course! Perisnon lords make a great deal of lineage lands and money speak louder than one's ancestors. Even though you are a foreigner if you are coming up in the world then many parents will consider you a fine catch.
You will have to compete with many other lords of your realm who will have an advantage -- they have known these ladies from childhood and will have been sized up as grooms by carefully discerning mothers and aunts. Some ladies may be fascinated by the stranger yet opt for the familiar.
So know this -- you may have your heart broken. But to enter the arena of love fearing heartbreak is like entering the battlefield fearing the enemy's arrows. Be brave and victory may yet be yours.
{reg33?Lady:Sir} -- I will speak bluntly. Most of the {reg33?lords:ladies} of this land are looking for a demure {reg33?maiden:lad} although the {reg33?lords:ladies} of Perisno appreciate poems about love most also want heirs and few {reg33?women:men} can ride and fight while {reg33?with child:caring for their children}.
However of {reg33?women:lads} who forged their own path without having sacrificed the chance for love. I would not tell you that it would be easy for you to find a devoted {reg33?husband:wife} who will accept your ways but I would not say that it is impossible.
What advantage is there in seeking a {reg33?husband:wife}?
Ah! You are quite the romantic aside from the obvious benefits of love companionship and other em domestic matters to marry among the nobility brings great assets. You may forge a strong alliance with the bride's family and a wife may also assist you in manipulating the politics of the realm to your advantage.
What's more which would boost your own claim to rule -- should you ever choose to assert it...
Ah! You are quite the romantic aside from the obvious benefits of love companionship and other em domestic matters to marry among the nobility brings great assets. You may have access to the groom's castles and properties and be able to work with him to advance both of your standings in the realm.
Every so often and in castles they will be accompanied by hunts. The feasts provide a chance for the lords to repair some of the rivalries that may undermine the strength of the realm. They also provide an opportunity for families to show off their eligible daughters and ladies will often be allowed to mingle unsupervised with the guests.
If you have the opportunity and she will usually know if she wishes you to continue your suit. Incidentally if you come to her fresh from having distinguished yourself in the tournament or in the hunt then you may make a stronger first impression than otherwise.
To woo a lady takes a certain amount of time and patience you may simply go and ask her father or brother for permission. If you do not have permission from her guardian it may be possible to arrange an assignation through other means.
Having arranged an assignment at least until they are married and thus will have little to say that will interest you. On other hand she will soon tire of hearing of your own deeds in the outside world.
One time-tested mode of courtship is simply to recite a popular poem you are both on an equal footing and neither will have an advantage in knowledge or experience. Of course different ladies will have different tastes in poetry.
At some point others will be guided by their passions. Some will look to your companions to see whether you are the kind of husband who will treat her as an equal while others will follow the lead of their fathers.
At any rate you may find that your suit prospers with a lady only to have it falter on a father's political ambitions. So you must ask yourself: are you willing to risk disappointment and heartbreak? Alternately are you willing to throw away your standing in society to make enemies of allies in pursuit of a forbidden love? Because if you are then perhaps some day we will write poems about you.
What is it that you poets and musicians do again?
I compose and write songs for the lords of the land sometimes about the virtues of kings and sometimes for the more sophisticated audiences about the virtues of wine. For most audiences however I sing of love.
No
Do you have any other questions?
Is there anything else?
Greetings
Who are you?
I am a member of the Entertainment Guild. Our guildsmen travel around Perisno's taverns of course. We provide entertainment to the travel-weary or to people who just want to relax and enjoy.
I see. Would you be able to provide my men and I entertainment if I asked for it?
Certainly! We take requests from any who want it. I'm sure your party's morale will be high once I am finished.
Well
Anything else you need...?
Yes. My men and I require your services.
That is great to hear! However we require a price of 2000.
Very well.
Thank you
What!? You expect someone to actually pay you that price? No thank you ...
{reg0?Your highness:My {reg33?lady:lord}}
{reg33?Madam:My Lord}
What is the matter
What are you burbling about peasant? Speak out.
A band of brigands have taken refuge in our village. They take everything we have and do us much evil. If one of us so much as breathes a word of protest they kill the poor soul on the spot right away. Our lives have become unbearable. I risked my skin and ran away to find someone who can help us. Please {s0} you are a {reg33?lady:man} of valor and a fearsome warrior with many friends and soldiers at your service. If there is anyone who can help us it's you.

I can't be bothered with this right now.
Why would I fight these bandits? What's in it for me?
God bless you
As you say {reg33?madam:sir}. Forgive me for bothering you.
We are but poor farmers {s0}

As the owner of this town
As the owner of this town but I no longer want you to reinforce my garrison with your mercenaries.
 Congratulations so I will stay here in the town.
I'm glad to hear it.
People in the tavern are talking that the rebels had a cache somewhere try to find it before lord's people do.
Thank you for telling me! I'll give it a try.
Pay me a visit from time to time when you pass by. I'm sure I will be able to find a couple of my guys for you to recruit if you need them.
Hello again
I'd like to hire some mercenaries.
I have {reg1?{reg1}:none} mercenaries  available for hire at the moment. {reg1?Each mercenary costs 400 aurums to hire. How many do you want to hire?:}
{reg0}
Nevermind then.
Goodbye. Come back next time for more!
What are the news around here?
Travelling merchants reported that Nibor Hood's party occupied one of local villages.The offer 30000 aurums to the one who will eliminate these bandits. Are you interested?
No
30000 aurums? Sounds good. So where is the village?
It is {s10} not far from here.  I will also send several troops with you
It's nothing.
I failed the quest.
That is a shame. You can come back next time for more quests
Nibor's party in {s3} was defeated.
Good work.  That's your reward.
I failed the quest.

A mercenary captain
I do this town is a main base of operations for me and my people. We are allowed to reside here but in return we have to provide soldiers for the garrison as well as form town patrols.  We guard the nearby territory and also protect local villages.
Just recently a group of nobles went rogue and took a residence in one of nearby villages. They are pillaging the village and robbing passing caravans but if go against these nobles we will likely have problems with their friends who can make our life in this town insufferable. And if we do not follow the guildmaster's order he will terminate our contract.
Sounds like you have to cross a river yet stay dry.
Exactly. That's why I'm asking you for help. Do you want to earn 2000 aurums? You beat these nobles
I'm sorry
Why not? I'm not particularly fond of rampaging nobles.
That's a pity. Then I guess I have to keep looking for a candidate.
Excellent! The nobles reside in {s10}.
What type of mercenaries might I be able to hire?
I currently have some Tolranian Lancer mercenaries in my service. They are hired for 300 aurums.
I have {reg1?{reg1}:none} mercenaries  available for hire at the moment. {reg1?Each mercenary costs 300 aurums to hire. How many do you want to hire?:}
Nevermind then.
I currently have some Drachen Lasknetch mercenaries in my service. They are hired for 400 aurums.

Hi!
Hello
Do you have a need for mercenaries
Any orders
Make your preparations. We'll be moving at dawn.
Take your time. We'll be staying in this town for a while.
Yes {reg33?madam:sir}. We'll be ready when you tell us to leave.
All right. I will hire all of you. Here is {reg5} aurums.
All right. But I can only hire {reg6} of you. Here is {reg5} aurums.
{s17}
That sounds good. But I can't afford to hire any more {reg65?soldiers:men} right now.
Actually
As you wish. We are a knighthood order that is founded on purely one principle: fight for pay. It is the one single commandment we follow in our lives. We have nothing else. We are trained from an early age in our Order castle and sent outside to the world to become mercenaries. Our leader is called Lord Ceylius the Dishonorable the one who inherited the title of Grandmaster of the Masnerian Knights from his father before him. You will find no mercenary who is better at the art of combat than we are {reg33?madame:sir}.
That is very interesting.
That's a pity. Well if you need to hire anyone.
That sounds good. But I can't lead any more {reg65?soldiers:men} right now.
Sorry. I don't need any other men right now.
Do you have a need for mercenaries

Sorry. I don't need any other men right now.
Welcome to the Mercenary Guild
Welcome again to the Mercenary Guild.
What is this place?
We call ourselves Mercenary Guild. My name is Ingvar and I am the head of the Guild.
Here come people from all over the world who for one reason or another abandoned their old life and decided to start anew.
Some of them left their masters outlaws sick of their former lives religious people who became disillusioned with their faith.
We all here have different stories different training. You can walk around and talk to guys - some of them might decide to join you... provided you can afford to pay for their service of course.
Finally there are always volunteers who I train personally to be good with different weapons - whether it is a shortbow or a longbow a sword or a mace. Therefore you can equip them however you want and they won't mind though more costly equipment will naturally raise their upkeep.
Is there something else you wish to know?
I want to recruit some of those mercenaries you train.
Sure
Is there something else you want?
Actually
All right. If you need something
Good day to you {reg33?lass:lad}. You look like another adventurer who has come to try {reg33?her:his} chance in these lands. Well you won't be able to survive long here unless you know how to fight yourself out of a tight spot.
Thank you for your advice. This place looks like a training field. Maybe I can learn about fighting here?
Indeed you can. I am a veteran soldier... fought a good deal in the wars in my time. But these days feel free to ask.
Yes
Actually
Well
Good. It's good to find someone eager for practice. Let's see what you will do.
That was a good fight.
Ha! Looks like you've developed a bit of a limp there. Don't worry provided you learn from them. Shake the stars out of your eyes and get back in there. There's no other way to win.
Good day. Ready for some training today?
Ah
I am ready for some practice.
First
I need to leave now. Farewell.
What do you want to know?
What else do you want to know?
Tell me about defending myself.
Tell me about attacking with weapons.
Tell me about fighting on horseback.
I guess I know all the theory I need. Let's talk about something else.
Good question. The first thing you should know as a fighter is how to defend yourself. Keeping yourself out of harm's way is the first rule of combat but only those fighters that are experts at defense live to tell of it.
Now. Defending yourself is easiest if you are equipped with a shield. Just block with your shield. [Hold down the right mouse button to defend yourself with the shield.] In this state you will still be open to strikes from your sides or your back.
What if I don't have a shield?
Then you will have to use your weapon to block your opponent. This is a bit more difficult than defending with a shield. Defending with a weapon you block against either overhead swings side swings or thrusts. Therefore you must watch your opponent carefully and start to block AFTER he starts his attack. In this way you will be able to block against the direction of his current attack. If you start to block BEFORE he makes his move he may just attack in another direction than the one you are blocking against and score a hit.
Good question. Attacking is the best defence waiting for the right moment for swinging it. [You can ready your weapon for attack by pressing and holding down the left mouse button.]
That sounds useful.
It is a good tactic your opponent may see that and take a defensive stance against the direction you are swinging your weapon. If that happens you must break your attack and quickly attack from another direction [You may cancel your current attack by quickly tapping the right mouse button].
If my opponent is defending against the direction I am attacking from
Yes left swing overhead swing and thrust. You must use each one wisely. [to control your swing direction with default controls move your mouse in the direction you want to swing from as you press the left mouse button].
Very good question. A horse may be a warrior's most powerful weapon in combat. It gives you speed power and initiative. A lot of deadly weapons will become even deadlier on horseback. However you must pay particular attention to horse-mounted enemies couching their lances as they may take down any opponent in one hit. [To use the couched lance yourself wield a lance or similar weapon and speed up your horse without pressing attack or defense buttons. after you reach a speed you'll lower your lance. Then try to target your enemies by maneuvering your horse.]
I train novices in four stages you have to win three fights in a row.
You have passed all stages of training. But if you want you can still practice. Are you ready?
Way to go {reg33?lass:lad}. With this victory not the riff-raff off the street so be on your toes.
Way to go {reg33?lass:lad}. Welcome to the third training level. From now on your opponents will be veteran fighters; soldiers and arena regulars and the like. These guys know some dirty tricks
You've got the heart of a champion and the sword arm to match. From now on your opponents will be champion fighters. These are the cream of the crop the finest warriors I have trained. If you can best three of them in a row you will join their ranks.
It does my heart good to see such a promising talent. You have passed all tiers of training. You can now tell everyone that you have been trained by the master of the training field.
Thank you master.
I wish you good luck in the tournaments. And   if you want to practice your swordwork anytime just come and say the word.
Your next opponent will be a {s9}. You need to win {reg8} more fights in a row to advance to the next stage. Are you ready?
Yes I am.
Here you go then. Good luck.
Just a minute. I am not ready yet.
Hey
Good day
Good day
Very good
Let's go over the accounts.
Let's check the inventories.
I'd like you to sell goods as they are produced.
I'd like you to keep all goods in the warehouse until I arrive.
We currently produce {s3} worth {reg1} aurums each week and labor and upkeep are {reg3}.{s9} This means that we theoretically make a {s12} of {reg0} aurums a week assuming that we have no raw materials in the inventories and that we sell directly to the market.
Could you explain my options related to production?
Certainly the most profitable thing for you to do would be to let us buy raw materials and sell the finished goods directly to the market. Because of our longstanding relations with the local merchants we can usually get a very good price.
However you may place them in the inventories and we will use them instead of buying from the market. Likewise if you feel that you can get a better price for the finished goods elsewhere then you may ask us to deposit what we produce in our warehouses for you to take.
It will no longer be possible for me to continue operating this enterprise.
A pity and liquidate the inventories I estimate that we can get {reg4} aurums.
That sounds reasonable. Please proceed with the sale.
Hmm. Let's hold off on that.
As you wish. It was an honor to have been in your employ.
That is all for now.
Good day
Hello stranger
Good day
{playername} and you made it happen. Your involvement has not only saved our town from disaster but it has also saved thousands of lives and put an end to all the grief this bitter war has caused. As the townspeople of {s19} know that we'll be good on our word and we are ready to pay the {reg12} aurums we promised.
Thank you. Let me have the money.
No need for a payment. I only did what was right.
Oh of course. We had already got the money for you. Here please accept these {reg12} aurums together with our most sincere thanks. Me and the people of our town will not forget your help.
You are indeed an extraordinary person and it is an honour for me to have known you. You not only did what was impiossible and put an end to this terrible war but you won't even accept a reward for it. Very well I will not insist on the matter but please know that you will have our eternal respect and gratitude.
Very nice work you made short work of those lawless curs. Thank you kindly for all your help and please accept this bounty of 150 aurums.
It was my pleasure
Ah
I've killed some looters.
I've brought you some goods.
Not yet
Aye so that makes {reg1} in total. Here is your money as promised.
And that's not the only good news! Thanks to you they've either run off or gone deep into hiding. That's good for business    and what's good for business is good for the town!   I think that concludes our arrangement {playername}. Please accept this silver as a token of my gratitude. Thank you and farewell.
Anything else you need?
Hah and I'll send some men to collect it. I still need {reg1} aurums' worth of goods.
{s5}.
Nothing at the moment
Anything else you need?
Excellent
Well done that's the last of the goods I need. Here is the money for your {s6} and a small bonus for helping me out. I'm afraid I won't be paying for any more goods nor bounties on looters but you're welcome to keep hunting the bastards if any remain. Thank you for your help I won't forget it.
Good to see you again {playername}. I have heard that you have delivered the cattle successfully. I will tell the merchants how reliable you are. And here is your pay
I heard that you have lost the cattle herd on your way to {s9}. I had a very difficult time explaining your failure to the owner of that herd
I am sorry. But I was attacked on the way.
I am sorry. The stupid animals wandered off during the night.
Well no matter what. You should know that the owner of the herd demanded to be compensated for his loss and I had to pay him 1000 aurums. So you now owe me that money.
{playername} -- I am in your debt for bringing back my friend's daughter.  Please take these {reg8} aurums that I promised you.  My friend wished he could give more but paying that ransom brought him to his knees.
Well -- it sounds like you were able to track down the bandits and we are most grateful.
I have heard about your deeds. You have given those bandits the punishment they deserved. You are really as good as they say. Here is your reward: {reg5} aurums. I would like to give more but those bandits almost brought me to bankruptcy.
According to my accounts
Alright. I'll pay my debt to you.
Excellent. I'll let my fellow merchants know that you are clear of any debts.
I'm afraid I can't pay that sum now.
In that case I can't deal with you. Guild rules... Come back when you can pay the {reg1} aurums. And know that we'll be charging an interest to your debt. So the sooner you pay it the better.
What can I do for you?
Now... What else may I do for you?
Yes?
Can you tell me about what you do?
Do you happen to have a job for me?
About that job you offered me...
About the job you gave me...
I have some questions of a political nature.
How is trade around here?
How does the wealth of this region compare with the rest of Perisno?
I wish to buy land in this town for a productive enterprise
You already operate a {s4} here. There probably aren't enough skilled tradesmen to start a second enterprise.
{s9}
Of course and no one is going to stop you.
Well... Given your relationship with our liege I think that you will not find many here who are brave enough to sell you any land.
Well... To be honest
Very good and I think I could find someone to sell you the land you need.
A couple of things to keep in mind -- skilled laborers are always at a premium you should choose a commodity which is in relatively short supply but for which the raw materials are cheap. What sort of enterprise would you like to start?
A mill and bakery
A brewery
A tannery
A wine press
An oil press
An ironworks
A weavery and dyeworks
A weavery
A weavery
Never mind
Very good your {s3} will produce {s4} worth {reg1} aurums each week while the {s6} needed to manufacture that batch will be {reg2} and labor and upkeep will be {reg3}.{s9} I should guess that your profit would be {reg0} aurums a week. This assumes of course that prices remain constant -- which I can virtually guarantee you they will not. Do you wish to proceed?
Yes. Here is money for the land.
No -- that's not economical for me at the moment.
Very good. Your enterprise should be up and running in about a week. When next you come you should speak to your {s4} about its operations.
[Leave]
I am the guildmaster of {s9}. You can say I am the leader of the good people of {s9}. I can help you find a job if you are looking for some honest work.
Who rules this town?
Our town's lord and protector is {s10}. {reg0?She:He} owns the castle and sometimes resides there
That's all I need to know. Thanks.
Politics? Good heaven and pass on the townspeople's concerns to our lords and masters and maybe warn them from time to time against evil advice. Anyway what did you wish to ask?
Did I mention that we here are all {s9}? Because I can't stress that enough... Anyway... Is there anything else?
What is the cause of all these wars in Perisno?
Well each monarch claims to be the rightful heir to the old Perisno emperors. Some of these claims are based on forgotten dynastic marriages and others are based on obscure promises while {s22} Elves invoke the empire's unwritten constitution. So in theory any one realm has the right to declare war on any other realm at any time.
In practice but crops will grow back and it is a far different matter to capture an enemy stronghold and to hold it. So the monarchs of Perisno will fight a little sign a truce fight a little more and so on and so forth. Often a monarch will go to war when another realm provokes them. At such times some bad influences who look to enrich themselves with ransoms and pillage will clamor for retribution and thus the damage caused by war to a monarch's treasury is less than the damage caused by doing nothing would be to his authority... I'm of course not talking about {s10} as no one would ever question {reg4?her:his} authority
I would stress again that we in the guild have nothing to do with politics. But if {s10} were to ask for my advice on these matters I would tell {reg4?her:him} that while {reg4?her:his} claim to all of Perisno is truly just even the most legitimate claim must be backed by armed men and armed men want money and money comes from trade and war ruins trade so sometimes the best way to push a claim is not to push it if you know what I mean...
You may tell {s10} this if you see {reg4?her:him}. Don't mention my name specifically -- just say 'the people of {s4}' told you this. Our personal opinion as to what would be in {s10}'s best interests. None of us would ever dream of questioning a monarch's sovereign right to push {reg4?her:his} legitimate claims.
What is {s10}'s policy in regards to the other realms of Perisno?
Which realm did you have in mind?
{s11}
{s14}
What can you say about the internal politics of the realms?
Well
The lords of a realm often have very different ideas about honor and the way a nobleman should behave. In addition they compete with each other for the ruler's favor and are constantly weighing up their position -- how they stand how their friends and family stand and how their enemies stand.
Underlying all the tensions is the possibility that a lord may abandon his liege each lord has sworn an oath of vassalage but in practice a vassal can always find an excuse to absolve himself. The vassal may claim that the liege has failed to hold up his end of the bargain to protect the vassal and treat him justly. Or the vassal may claim that his liege is in fact a usurper and another has a better claim to the kingship.
Lieges and vassals still watch each other carefully. If a king believes that his vassal is going to change sides or rebel if a vassal fears that he will be indicted he may rebel. Usually whoever makes the first move will be able to control the vassal's fortresses.
Now nor do they trust a king who lightly throws around charges of treason. Those two factors can keep a realm together. But if relations between a vassal and a liege deteriorate far enough things can become very tense indeed... In other lands of course. These things could never happen here in the {s4}.
That is all. Thank you.
What about it?
What if I can't finish it?
Well
Good. I'm sure you will handle it.
Eh
I hope you don't fail. In that case
Well
Excellent. I am counting on you then. Good luck.
Well
{s32}
{s42}
{s47}
Well
We've had some fighting near the {s5} lately and that's led some of our less upstanding locals to try and make their fortune out of looting the shops and farms during the confusion. A lot of valuable goods were taken. I need somebody to teach those bastards a lesson. Sound like your kind of work?
Aye
I'm afraid I can't take the job at the moment.
Excellent! You'll find the looters roaming around the countryside I don't care what you do with them. I'll pay you a bounty of 40 aurums on every band of looters you destroy until all the looters are dealt with.
Well some {s10}s have come across the border to attack our people. {s5} is under great pressure from some of the more bellicose of {reg0?her:his} vassals to respond with a declaration of war. Unfortunately while the great lords of this land grow rich from bloodshed we of the commons will be caught in the middle and will suffer.
We are not saying that {s5} should overlook this aggression -- far from it! But if {reg0?she:he} charges one of {reg0?her:his} own lords to respond if an outsider were to step in and defeat a {s10} lord in battle then honor would be done and it would defuse the clamor for war. If the defeated lord were a known troublemaker -- {s7} -- then the {s10}s might be able to overlook it.
We need you to attack and defeat {s7}. This will not be an easy task but we would be very grateful. We could not acknowledge a connection with that outsider but we could be sure that {reg33?she:he} would be handsomely rewarded... Could you do this?
Aye
I would prefer not to get mixed up in such things
The raiders are likely to have laid up their ships in a well-concealed cove preferably next to a small stream where they have some water. The best way to discover its location would be to find a group of sea raiders who appear to be heading back to their base to resupply and follow them.
Bandits such as these usually establish their hideouts in the foothills on the edge of the desert and follow them.
Bandits such as these will usually establish a base in the highlands and follow them.
Bandits such as these will usually set up their encampments deep in the woods and follow them.
Bandits such as these will usually set up their encampments in the woodland on the steppe and follow them.
Bandits such as these will usually set up their encampments deep in the woods. The best way to discover its location would be to find a group of tundra bandits who appear to be heading back to their base to resupply
Aye
I'm afraid I can't take the job at the moment.
Very good. We will await word of your success.
We have heard that {s4}
We would like you to track these {s4} down. The merchants of the town were able to get a description of their leader we'll make it worth your while...
Aye
Very good. The band may not have lingered long in the area
I'm afraid I can't take the job at the moment.
You're looking for a job? Actually I was looking for someone to deliver some {s4}. Perhaps you can do that...
I have a cargo of {s6} that needs to be delivered to the tavern in {s4}. If you can take {reg5} units of {s6} to {s4} in 7 days
Alright. I will make the delivery.
I am afraid I can't carry all that cargo now.
You're looking for a job? Actually I was looking for someone to escort a caravan. Perhaps you can do that...
I am going to send a caravan of goods to {s8}. However with all those bandits and deserters on the roads you will earn {reg8} aurums. Of course your party needs to be at least {reg4} strong to offer them any protection.
Alright. I will escort the caravan.
I am afraid I don't have that many soldiers with me.
Sorry. I can't do that right now
We can cover the rest of the way ourselves. Thanks.
Well
Greetings. You must be our escort
Yes. My name is {playername}. I will lead you to {s1}.
Well
Eh. We've made it this far... What do you want us to do?
You follow my lead. I'll take you through a safe route.
Alright. We'll be right behind you.
You stay here for a while. I'll go ahead and check the road.
Alright. We'll be waiting here for you.
Actually I am going to be ruined...
I will pay you {reg8} aurums if you hunt down those troublesome bandits. It's dangerous work. But I believe that you are the {reg33?one:man} for it. What do you say?
Very well. I will hunt down those bandits.
You will? Splendid. Good luck to you.
Sorry. I don't have time for this right now.
Actually but we still need someone to take the money to those rascals and bring the girl back to safety.
The amount the bandits ask as ransom is {reg12} aurums. I will give you that money once you accept to take the quest. You have 15 days to take the money to the bandits who will be waiting near the village of {s4}. Those bastards said that they are going to kill the poor girl if they don't get the money by that time. You will get your pay of {reg8} aurums when you bring the girl safely back here.
All right. I will take the ransom money to the bandits and bring back the girl.
Good. I knew we could trust you at this. Here is the ransom money don't attempt to do anything rash. Keep in mind that the girl's well being is more important than anything else...
Sorry. I don't have time for this right now.
Thank you so much for bringing me back!  I can't wait to see my family. Good-bye.
Yes. Come with me. We are going home.
Unfortunately. You do not have room in your party for me.
Oh really? Thank you so much!
Wait here a while longer. I'll come back for you.
Oh do not leave me here all alone!
Oh {reg33?Madam:Sir}! Thank you so much for rescuing me. Will you take me to my family now?
Yes. Come with me. We are going home.
Unfortunately. You do not have room in your party for me.
Oh really? Thank you so much!
Wait here a while longer. I'll come back for you.
Oh do not leave me here all alone!
Can I come with you now?
Are you the one that brought the ransom? Quick
You came back? Quick
Here
Heh. You've brought the money all right. You can take the girl now. It was a pleasure doing business with you...
No way! You release the girl first.
You fool! Stop playing games and give us the money!
All right. Here's your money. Let the girl go now.
I had left the money in a safe place. Let me go fetch it.
Are you testing our patience or something?  Go and bring that money here quickly.
I have no intention to pay you anything. I demand that you release the girl now!
You won't be demanding anything when you're dead.
What's it? You have given us the money. We have no more business.
Sorry to bother you. I'll be on my way now.
We have one more business. You'll give the money back to me.
Oh
Oh {reg33?Madam:Sir}. Thank you so much for rescuing me. Will you take me to my family now?
Yes. Come with me. I'll take you home.
Unfortunately. You do not have room in your party for me.
Oh
Wait here a while longer. I'll come back for you.
Oh do not leave me here all alone!
Unfortunately I lost the girl on the way here...
Oh no! How am I going to tell this to my friend?
I'm sorry. I could do nothing about it.
You let me down {playername}. I had trusted you. I will let people know of your incompetence at this task. Also
Of course. Here you are...
At least you have the decency to return the money.
Sorry. I don't have that amount with me.
Do you expect me to believe that? You are going to pay that ransom fee back! Go and bring the money now!
This war between {s15} and {s14} has brought our town to the verge of ruin. Our caravans get raided before they can reach their destination. Our merchants are afraid to leave the safety of the town walls. And as if those aren't enough we can not hold on for much longer.
You are right. But who can stop this madness called war?
It is your duty to help the nobles in their war effort. You shouldn't complain about it.
Hah. The nobles fight their wars for their greed and their dreams of glory. And it is poor honest folk like us who have to bear the real burden. But you obviously don't want to hear about that.
There have been attempts to reconcile the two sides and reach a settlement. However but to keep fighting. While these leaders remain influential no peace settlement can be reached.
Who are these warmongers who block the way of peace?
Who are these lords you speak of?
They are {s12} from {s15} and {s13} from {s14}. Until they change their mind or lose their influence
What can be done about this?
Alas
There is a way to resolve the issue. A particularly determined person can perhaps persuade one or both of these lords to accept making peace. And even if that fails they will lose their influence and they can no longer oppose a settlement... What do you think? Can you do it?
It seems difficult. But I will try.
If the price is right
Forget it. This is not my problem.
Most of the merchants in the town will gladly open up their purses to support such a plan. I think we can collect {reg12} aurums between ourselves. We will be happy to reward you with that sum and if either of them proves too stubborn make sure he falls captive and can not be ransomed until a peace deal is settled.
All right. I will do my best.
Sorry. I can not do this.
Excellent. You will have our blessings. I hope you can deal with those two old goats. We will be waiting and hoping for the good news.
Don't say no right away. Think about this for some time. If there is a {reg33?lady:man} who can manage to do this
Do I indeed! There's a group of bandits infesting the town and then fading away quick as lightning when the guards finally show up. We've not been able to catch a one of them. They only attack lone people never daring to show themselves when there's a group about. I need someone who can take on these bandits alone and win. That seems to be the only way of bringing them to justice. Are you up to the task?

Killing bandits? Why
My apologies
That takes a weight off my shoulders eh?
One of the merchants here is looking for herdsmen to take his cattle to the market at {s13}.
The cattle herd must be at {s13} within 30 days. Sooner is better but it must be absolutely no later than 30 days. If you can do that I'd be willing to pay you {reg8} aurums for your trouble. Interested?
Aye
I am sorry
Splendid. You can find the herd right outside the town. After you take the animals to {s13}
I am afraid I can't offer you a job right now.
My good {reg33?madam:sir}. Our village is grateful for your help. Thanks to the {reg5} heads of cattle you have brought
My good {reg33?lady:lord} is there anything I can do for you?
Welcome to {s9}
Good day and welcome to {s9}. I am the elder of this village.
Your highness
My {reg33?Lady:Lord}
Good day
Is there anything else I can do for you?
I am looking for a man by the name of {s4}. I was told he may be hiding here.
Strangers come and go to our village
Strangers come and go to our village you will surely find him if you look around.
About the task you asked of me...
Do you have any tasks I can help you with?
I want to buy some supplies. I will pay with gold.
Of course
I want to buy food and supplies.
We have some food and other supplies in our storehouse. Come have a look.
I want to buy some cattle.
I changed my mind. I don't need to buy anything.
I'd like to help your village with some money (7000 aurums).
Oh my... I mean {s0}. This is very generous of you.
I want to send troops to one of my fiefs and I want you to provide them with food.
Aye {s0}. Where would you like to send them?
{s12}
Never mind.
Who would you like to send
Hmm...
That will be {reg1} aurums for the food for your soldiers
Oh
Here is the money (give {reg1} aurums).
Actually
Thank you I'll provide your soldiers with enough supplies.
Greetings
You have your orders. Keep moving.
Have you seen any enemies around here recently?
I am sorry
Hmm. Let me think about it...
{s1} {s2}
No
Well
I need you to set a large fire on the outskirts of this village.
We have already agreed upon this
A fire
I believe that we have already discussed this issue
We talked about this before {s0} and your previous offers were low compared to risk you want me to take.
I have my reasons or not?
Given the risk you are taking
I wish to rescue a prisoner from {s4}. When you light the fire and some of them will rush outside to see what is going on.
As you wish and even though there is a risk we should be glad to return the favor. When do you want this fire to start?
I'm sorry but we don't exactly have good reason to trust you. This is too dangerous.
As you say we are taking a very great risk. What's in it for us?
I can give you 100 aurums.
I can give you 200 aurums.
I can give you 300 aurums.
Never mind.
This is madness. I cannot take such a risk.
Then let's increase your reward to 200 aurums.
Then let's increase your reward to 300 aurums.
Then let's increase your reward to 300 aurums. This is my last offer.
Never mind.
Very well. You are asking me to take a very great risk
I cannot do such a dangerous thing for 200 aurums.
Continue with your preparations. One hour from now
Do this in at the stroke of midnight. I will wait exactly one hour.
Very well
As you wish
Are there any lads from this village who might want to seek their fortune in the wars?
[Leave]
We have {reg5} heads of cattle
I am afraid we have no cattle left in the village {reg33?Madam:Sir}.
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Five.
Forget it.
I will tell the herders to round up the animals and bring them to you
I don't think anyone would be interested
I can think of {reg5} whom I suspect would jump at the chance. If you could pay {reg13} aurums {reg7?each for their equipment:for his equipment}. Does that suit you?
Tell {reg7?them:him} to make ready.
No
Yes {reg33?Madam:Sir}
Indeed. I brought you {reg5} packs of grain.
My good {reg33?Lady:Lord}. You have saved us from hunger and desperation. We cannot thank you enough
My good {reg33?Lady:Lord} is there anything I can do for you?
I am still working on it.
I am afraid I won't be able to finish it.
Thank you
Ah
Well {s0} you are already engaged with a task helping us. We cannot ask more from you.
No {s0}
A task?
My good {reg33?Lady:Sir} and recently some merciless bandits took away our seed grain that we had reserved for the planting season. If we cannot find some grain soon we will not be able to plant our fields and then we will have nothing to eat for the coming year. If you can help us we would be indebted to you forever.
Hmmm. How much grain do you need?
I can't be bothered with this. Ask help from someone else.
I think {reg5} packs of grain will let us start the planting. Hopefully
Then I will go and find you the grain you need.
I am afraid I don't have time for this. You'll need to find help elsewhere.
Thank you
Yes {s0}
We are suffering greatly at the hands of a group of bandits. They take our food and livestock but we are only simple farmers... However with some help I think that some of the people here could be more than that. We just need an experienced warrior to teach us how to fight.
I can teach you how to defend yourself.
You peasants have no business taking up arms. Just pay the bandits and be off with it.
You will? Oh {s0}. I'll instruct the village folk to assemble here and receive your training. If you can teach us how to defend ourselves I promise you'll receive everything we can give you in return for your efforts.
Yes
Bandits have driven away our cattle. Our pastures are empty. If we had just a few heads of cattle we could start to raise a herd again.
How many animals do you need?
I don't have time for this. Ask help from someone else.
I think {reg5} heads will suffice for a small herd.
Then I will bring you the cattle you need.
I am afraid I don't have time for this. You'll need to find help elsewhere.
Thank you
Yes {s0}
Thank you but we do not really need anything right now.
My {reg33?Lady:Lord}! You must help! They are eating us out of house and home! Wait a party of scholars arrived in the village. They were on their way to {s8} when they were attacked by bandits. Their escort fled and the scholars themselves barely made it here.
And now we can't get rid of them! They refuse to leave without an escort and they're chubby fellows and eat and eat. If we don't get rid of them soon we'll all be in the poorhouse. If you can take them to {s8} we will be eternally grateful. But please don't lose them along the way for sure as oats is oats they'll be back here like a shot.
I will escort the scholars.
Sorry. I can't do that right now
Thank you
Yes {reg33?madam:sir}
We can cover the rest of the way ourselves. Thanks.
Well and we realise you have had to put up with a lot on this journey which was one such as should be commemorated in verse! Please accept this book - carefully inscribed To {playername} From {reg33?Her:His} favourite Scholars! as an extra reward. Now I believe the refectory is open. Good luck.
Well a token of our esteem but you seem unable to carry any more. Never mind! Thanks for escorting us. Good luck.
Greetings. You must be our escort
Yes. My name is {playername}. I will lead you to {s1}.
Well
You follow my lead. I'll take you through a safe route.
Alright. We'll be right behind you.
You stay here for a while. I'll go ahead and check the road.
Alright. We'll be waiting here for you.
Young {reg33?lady:man}! I really do think we should get a move on. We really can't tarry in this area. We must reach a library soon or we shall erm expire. Although I don't expect one such as yourself to understand...hmmmm?
You follow my lead. I'll take you through a safe route.
Alright. We'll be right behind you.
You stay here for a while. I'll go ahead and check the road.
Alright. We'll be waiting here for you.
[Kill Scholars]
This is an outrage! Don't think you can threaten us
You follow my lead. I'll take you through a safe route.
Alright. We'll be right behind you.
You stay here for a while. I'll go ahead and check the road.
Alright. We'll be waiting here for you.
I've had it with your incessant whining. Let's see if the pen is mightier than the sword!
To arms
I am looking for a fugitive by the name of {s4}. I was told they may be hiding here.

My {reg33?Lady:Lord}
Welcome {s0}. What can I do for you?
Anything else?
I want to buy a few items... and perhaps sell some.
Sure have a look at my stock...
Anything else?
What goods should I buy here to trade with other towns?
Nothing. Thanks.
That information can be best obtained from caravan masters and travelling merchants. If you want I can send you to the district where foreign merchants stay at when they come to the town. If you spend some time there and listen to the talk
Then I'll go and spend some time with these merchants.
I have no time for this right now.
Good day friend. If you came to watch the tournaments you came in vain. There won't be a tournament here anytime soon.
Tournaments? So they hold the tournaments here...
Yes. You should see this place during one of the tournament fights. Everyone from the town and nearby villages comes here. The crowd becomes mad with excitement. Anyway there won't be an event here soon so there isn't much to see. Except there is an official duel every now and then and  of course we have melee fights almost every day.
Tell me about the melee fights.
The fighters and knights get bored waiting for the next tournament no teams. Everyone beats at each other until there is only one fighter left standing. Sounds like fun eh?
Is there a reward?
There is you'll earn {reg11} aurums. You'll get {reg12} aurums for striking down at least {reg2} opponents {reg13} aurums if you can defeat {reg3} opponents and {reg14} aurums if you can survive long enough to beat {reg4} opponents. If you can manage to be the last {reg33?fighter:man} standing you'll earn the great prize of the fights {reg15} aurums. Sounds good eh?
Some of the wealthy townsmen offer prizes for those fighters who show great skill in the fights. If you can beat {reg1} opponents before going down {reg13} aurums if you can defeat {reg3} opponents and {reg14} aurums if you can survive long enough to beat {reg4} opponents. If you can manage to be the last {reg33?fighter:man} standing you'll earn the great prize of the fights {reg15} aurums. Sounds good eh?
Can I join too?
Ha ha. You would have to be out of your mind not to. Of course. The melee fights are open to all. Actually there is going to be a fight soon. You can go and hop in if you want to.
Hello. You seem to be new here. Care to share your name?
I am {playername}.
Well met {playername}. I am the master of the tournaments here at {s1}. Talk to me if you want to join the fights.
.
Ha-ha dust yourself off and keep fighting. That's what champions do.
Hey if I were you I would go back there and show everyone what I can do...
You put up quite a good fight there. Good moves. You definitely show promise. And you earned a prize of {reg10} aurums for knocking down {reg8} opponents.
That was a good fight you put up there. You managed to take down no less than {reg8} opponents. And of course
Your performance was amazing! You are without doubt a very skilled fighter. Not everyone can knock down {reg8} people in the fights. Of course you deserve a prize with that performance: {reg10} aurums. Nice
That was damned good fighting excellent tactics. And you earned a prize of {reg10} aurums for knocking down {reg8} opponents.
Congratulations champion! Your fight there was something to remember! You managed to be the last fighter standing beating down everyone else. And of course you won the grand prize of the fights: {reg10} aurums.
Hello {playername}. Good to see you again.
What would you like to do?
About the melee fights...
Will there be a tournament in nearby towns soon?
I need to leave now. Good bye.
{reg2?There won't be any tournaments any time soon.:{reg1?Tournaments are:A tournament is} going to be held at {s15}.}
There will be a fight here soon. You can go and jump in if you like.
Good. That's what I am going to do.
Thanks. But I will give my bruises some time to heal.
Good {reg33?girl:man}. That's clever of you.
Actually
Hello m'liege
{reg33?Girl:Boy}! You like gold? We've got it.
Anything else?
I might buy an ingot. How much for one?
Not this time. Good-bye.
We sell them for 4000 each. {s12}
I will buy one.
I will buy two.
I will buy three.
I will buy four.
I will buy five.
Maybe I will not buy any.
Anything else?
I will be taking a few ingots from your stocks today.
Not this time. Good-bye.
As the lord of this town and the gold we produce is at your disposal. {s12}
I will take one.
I will take two.
I will take three.
I will take four.
I will take five.
Nevermind.
{s5}
I'll give you nothing but cold steel
There's no need to fight. I can pay for free passage.
Silver without blood having a look at you I reckon you could easily come up with {reg5} aurums. Pay it and we'll let you be on your way.
Very well
I don't have that much money with me
That's too bad. I guess we'll just have to sell you into slavery. Take {reg33?her:him}
Hey and now you expect us to let you go for a few stinking coins? Forget it. You gave us no quarter and you'll get none from us.
Heh was it? All right we'll let you go now. Be off.
Eh? What is it?
Your luck has run out
{s5}
Never mind
Do you want us to follow you?
Yes. Let us ride together.
No. Not at this time.
Unfortunately. You do not have room in your party for us.
We are at your command.
You will not capture me again. Not this time.
You don't have a chance against me. Give up.
I will give up when you are dead!
I beg you
Do you think you can run away from me? You will be my prisoner or die!
Ok. We'll leave you in peace for this time
Haven't you got any mercy? Ok
{s1}
Hmmm. 10 aurums for each looter makes {reg1} aurums for all {reg0} of them.
Let me see. You've brought {reg0} bandits
Well well so I'll give you {reg1} for them in total.
I suppose that'll be all
NO TEXT
All right
I am at your command
I am sorry
You there!
{s1}
Me?! (Gulp!)
Yes
You are free to go.
You will remain my prisoner.
You have committed high treason! (Friendly Tip: do not choose to execute him. The consequences are DIRE - Dev. Team)
Do you remember Torsson
What is this??
What is this? Nothing less than your last day on this Earth.
What is this? Nothing less than your last day on this Earth. You killed one of Hylr's best warriors and I still witnessed him slay many of your men. I was a coward that day also but no longer. Today is the day we do battle one final time. I am no longer a coward and you will not be one either. I wish you luck on this day friend.
So be it. May the best man win.
Ah
Despite what you may have heard
I will not forget this act of chivalry!
You will understand if I keep you hostage until your family can afford to... compensate me for certain expenses and hardships I have endured to keep you fed and ...safe... these past weeks.
Truly
And I trust you will be as understanding when I hunt you down like the dog you are!
Hmmm... perhaps you're not as stupid as the rest of those rabble.
As wretched as you are
The sight of you makes me sick! You.. Die.. Now!
Get back in line
I'm feeling magnanimous today.  Begone
Oh {reg33?madam:sir}.  Blessings on you!
Listen you have one last chance to redeem yourself before I sell you to the slave-traders.
I'll show you what I think of your offer! (The prisoner spits at your feet) There. Now get lost
What chance?
Drop all your previous allegiances and swear fealty to me and you'll be paid fed and equipped.  If you don't....well let's just say that life as a slave will be seemingly unending years of agony malnutrition and beatings.  I'd advise you to think very very carefully before choosing. 
Thank you for your mercy my {reg33?lady:lord}!
I'll show you what I think of your offer! (The prisoner spits at your feet) There. Now get lost
I see...
(You advance on the prisoner...)
Please don't kill me. I am a defenseless prisoner. Surely you're not that cruel?
(Kill the prisoner)
No
(The prisoner struggles against his shackles but to no avail. You slit their throat with a knife and watch satisfied as his corpse sags to the floor.)
If you so much as fail to tremble on my command
In my camp we are all treated as equals.  I expect your obedience
I will obey your wishes
Oh! Apparently there isn't enough room for you in my party. I will be back when I have made space.
Excellent. Report to the quartermaster for provisions and equiment.  There is hard fighting ahead.
{s1} for which you will now stand trial.^How plead you?
Please have mercy upon my soul.  All I have done as you and I deserve your respect if nothing else.
You are gravely mistaken!  I am an honorable Lord
I spit on you and yours!  You are but a cur come to put on airs
You dare accuse me?!  You sniveling whelpling!  I should see you flogged and put in chains in one of my prisons for your insolence!
I am a {reg33?woman:man} of honor.  I shall spare your life this day!
There is yet hope for you
You do not deserve leiniency.  You must pay for your crimes with your life.
For your many crimes against {s1} to be carried out immediately.  Have you any final words to say?
I believe you will one day come to regret your actions.  There is only one who is worthy to decide another's fate... and that one is not you.
You are a coward and a dog!  May your soul rot eternal
Winter's mortality ^melts with Spring's rebirth.
You will find no peace on this earth!  I shall haunt thee eternal!  Unto death you will find nothing but unhappiness and fear.  And beyond... only torture and pain!
Who are you?^A day passes^We are but children
(The prisoner struggles against his shackles but to no avail. You slit his throat and watch satisfied as his corpse sags to the floor.)
Greetings
Good day. What can I do for you?
I want to buy a new weapon. Show me your wares.
I am looking for some equipment. Show me what you have.
I am thinking of buying a horse.
I'd like to sell some weapons.
I'd like to sell some armor.
I'd like to sell some horses to you.
Let's see I see {reg1} {reg3?things:thing} that I would buy for {reg0} {reg2?denars:denar}.  Do we have a deal?
Sure.  Pleasure doing business with you.
Not exactly.  Let me show you what I meant.
Nevermind.
Aside from what I presume is your personal equipment
Let me show you what I meant.
Nevermind then.
Ah
Of course
You have a fine eye for horses
Anything else?
Tell me. What are people talking about these days?
Well weather the war the same old things.
Good-bye.
My {reg33?lady:lord}?
Good day
I am looking for a man by the name of {s4}. I was told he may be hiding here.
Strangers come and go to our village you will surely find him if you look around.
I am looking for a fugitive by the name of {s4}. I was told they may be hiding here.

{s6}
{s4}
{s4}
Eh? What kind of gibberish is that?
Never mind.
{s4} sent me to collect your reports. Do you have them with you?
I've been expecting you. Here they are
Farewell.
What can you tell me about this village?
What can you tell me about this town?
{s10} {s11}
How is life here?
Disaster has struck my family and the others have no money to pay for our labor or even to help us. My poor children lie at home hungry and sick. I don't know what we'll do.
My life is miserable and my poor children go to bed hungry each night. My neighbours are too poor themselves to help me.
Then take these 300 aurums. I hope this will help you and your family.
Then clearly you must travel somewhere else
Yes {reg33?madam:sir}. I will do as you say.
My {reg33?good lady:lord}.  You are so good and generous. I will tell everyone how you helped us.
Thank you for your kindness {s0}. With your help our lives will be better. I will pray for you everyday.
Times are hard
Times are hard
We are not doing too badly {s0}. We must count our blessings.
What is your trade?
{s14}
What is the latest rumor around here?
I don't know anything that would be of interest to you.
{s61}
I haven't heard anything interesting lately.
[Leave]
Yes {s0}?
How goes the watch
All is quiet {s0}. Nothing to report.
Good. Keep your eyes open.
Good day
Mind your manners within the walls and we'll have no trouble.
Soldier
Your orders
We are not supposed to talk while on guard
Stay on duty and let me know if anyone comes to see me.
Yes
I want you to arrest this man immediately!
Who do you want arrested {s0}?
Ah
Forget it. I will find another way to deal with this.
Arggh! I hate this.
Thank you for helping us against those bastards.
I will drink from your skull!
We are the Volheere Raiders!
That's nice. We'll leave you in peace.
{s3}
We are the Volheere Raiders!
That's nice. We'll leave you in peace.
{s3}
It looks like we are about to get some good loot. Grab them! Uralan!
We are the Saccar Raiders!
That's nice. We'll leave you in peace.
{s3}
You desecrated the Snow. The cold of death is waiting for you!
We are the Snow Crawlers!
That's nice. We'll leave you in peace.
{s3}
You survived in the desert. But it is not for long!
We are the Sandwalker!
That's nice. We'll leave you in peace.
{s3}
Don't come any closer! We are the fearsome outlaws!
That's nice. We'll leave you in peace.
That's nice. We'll leave you in peace.
Good! That means I'll be nicely rewarded for bringing your heads!
Stay
Hey
Nothing
I know that you are escaped prisoners. Surrender or die!
Hey
What do you want from us? We are simple travelers!
That's nice. We'll leave you in peace.
I know what you are - a band of outlaws! Surrender or die!
Hey
Don't come any closer well-armed and dangerous!
That's nice. We'll leave you in peace.
Great! That means I'll get some good loot after I kill you!
Your orders {s0}?
Tell me about yourself
Aye {s0}. Let me tell you all there is to know about me.
Anything else?
Change your equipment.
Very well {s0}
Is that satisfactory
Indeed.
Let me see your equipment.
Very well {s0}

All right
Nothing. Keep moving.
You have no chance against us. Surrender now or we will kill you all...
We will fight you to the end!
Don't attack! We surrender.
What do you want?
Surrender or die!
{s43}
Nothing. We'll leave you in peace.
Surrender or die. Make your choice
I am not afraid of you. I will fight.
Hello. What can I do for you?
Hello. Thank you
Hello. What can I do for you?
Tell me about yourself
Very well
Anything else?
[Done]
Drop your weapons and surrender if you want to live
We will fight you first
Yes
I want to start a new campaign. Let us assemble the army here.
I want to end the campaign and let everyone return home.
I wish to invite the vassals of the realm to a feast at {s4}.
Never mind
You wish to invite the lords of the realm to a feast?
Yes. It is time for us to strengthen the bonds that bring us together.
On second thought
All right then. I shall dispatch messengers informing the lords of the realm of your feast at {s4}.
You wish to summon all lords for a new campaign?
Yes. We must gather all our forces before we march on the enemy.
On second thought
All right then. I will send messengers and tell everyone to come here.
You want to end the current campaign and release all lords from duty?
Yes. We no longer need all our forces here.
On second thought
All right. I will let everyone know that they are released from duty.
Overall we are poorer than {reg4} towns and richer than {reg5}.
In terms of local industry we produce less than {reg4} towns and produce more than {reg5}. Production is of course affected by the supply of raw materials as well as by the overall prosperity of the town.
In terms of the output of the surrounding villages the villages produce less than the hinterland around {reg4} towns and produce more than {reg5}. The wealth of a town's hinterland of course is heavily dependent on the tides of war. Looting and pillage and shifts in territory can make a major impact.
In terms of trade we are less visited than {reg4} towns and more visited than {reg5}.
In terms of attacks on travellers we are less afflicted by bandits and raiders than {reg4} towns and more afflicted than {reg5}.
I have no intention of losing my lands
Hrmph. Now do not be hasty with such words I think. Those lands belong to me and my heirs as you swore. If you continue down this route you will do me great offense and there is no need for this to come to blows.
You've grown rash as it is far from wise and will end poorly for you. You'd do well to reconsider.
You are right but still I must go.
My blood and sweat earned those lands
You disappoint me greatly but this is beyond reason. Do not doubt that I will defend my house's honor from your insult. This is war between us.
I should have seen your treachery coming. I must be growing soft to have been fool enough to miss your schemes. No matter. Your time will yet come
I hold you in no ill-esteem
We all do what we must. Good bye.
Then I await the day we meet in battle.
This is a dark day
You are not the same {reg33?woman:man} I took as my vassal
 Good-bye.
 [Leave]
I would like to challenge you to a friendly duel.
Let's have a practice duel.
My lord
My lord
It would hardly be fitting for a king to duel a mere soldier like yourself. Perhaps after you have distinguished yourself we can duel on friendly terms.

I would like to duel on foot
Very well.
Forget about it.
What kind of weapons would you like to fight with?
We should use our own weapons.
Let us fight with sword and shield.
We should fight with two-handed weapons.
A duel with light armor and ranged weapons would be my choice.
What was your previous question again?.

That sound great. I'll meet you down there.
No let's try again.
{reg33?Madam:Sir}
Who goes there? We are {s20}.\ We're on our way to {s21}.
I am {playername}. I'm just passing by.
I am {playername}. And I'm here to stop you from reaching your destination!.
What!? We are under the protection of {s9}!\ Be certain he will take vengance!
Fine let him! I will kill him after I've dealt with you!
All right
I've got room in my ranks for a {man/woman} of your disposition with a weekly pay of {s2}. And food of course.  Plenty of room for promotion and you'll be equipped as befits your rank. You'll have your take of what you can scavange in battle too.  What do you say?
Seems a fair lot and steady work in these lands. I'm with you
Well I might try my luck alone a bit longer. My thanks.
I do not trust you enough to allow you to serve for me.
Very well {playername}. You are relieved of duty.
Very well {playername}. You shall take some time off from millitary duty. Return in two weeks.
Welcome back {playername}. Your regiment has missed you I daresay
