| Me | Who are you? | |
| Maria | I am Onar's wife, Maria. | |
| Maria | What do you want here? | |
| Me | I just wanted to have a look around here ... | |
| Maria | With all these men on the farm now, there's no peace to be had inside the house. | |
| Maria | They just keep barging in here. | |
| Me | Do the mercenaries bother you? | |
| Maria | Oh well, forget what I just said - it's been a lot safer here since you guys showed up. | |
| Maria | Oh well, at least the farm has been a lot safer since the mercenaries came. | |
| Maria | Back when we were still on our own, the militia came from town all the time to plunder our provisions. | |
| Maria | They dragged off the better part of the harvest. And they took some sheep, too. They did nothing for us in return. | |
| Maria | A few of those scoundrels even stole from us. | |
| Maria | Don't get me wrong now, soldier. I know that not all of you are like that. | |
| Me | So what did they steal from you? | |
| Maria | Mostly gold and silver. They even took my wedding present. A golden plate. | |
| Maria | I bet it's now gathering dust in the chest of some filthy city guard. | |
| Me | I have a golden plate here. Would this be yours? | |
| Maria | Yes! That is it! Thanks a million! | |
| Me | So what about my reward? | |
| Maria | You're working for my husband as a mercenary, aren't you? | |
| Me | Right. | |
| Maria | How much is my husband paying you? | |
| Maria | That's not enough. Go to him and tell him to pay you more. | |
| Me | And you think he'll do that? | |
| Maria | He knows what happens if he doesn't. Believe me. | |
| Maria | Do you want to hire on as a mercenary here on the farm? | |
| Maria | Here, take this. You deserve it. | |
| Me | No - not really. | |
| Maria | Then take this gold as a reward. You've earned it. | |
| Me | Yes. | |
| Maria | All right, if you work here, then I shall see to it that you're getting a decent pay. | |
| Maria | Come back when you have discussed your pay with my husband. | |
| Me | Tell me about Onar. | |
| Maria | He's a good man. A little grumpy and very impatient, but we've all got our faults. | |
| Maria | I told my husband, why do you let the soldiers from the city treat you like that? | |
| Maria | Do something, I said. | |
| Maria | So he hired the mercenaries. Now I feel like I'm in the middle of a war. | |
| Maria | But then, we ARE at war, aren't we? | |
| Me | Has anything exciting happened here lately? | |
| Maria | The paladins passed by here. | |
| Maria | At first we thought they were going to attack the farm, but the were headed for the Valley of Mines. | |
| Maria | Wasili chased off a thief a few nights ago. Apart from that, everything's been quiet. | |
| Maria | It's been a lot quieter here since some of the mercenaries left. | |
