Me	Everything all right with you?
Rosi	Well, it's so-so. My back hurts from all this hard labor. What are you doing here? I don't get visitors here all that often.
Rosi	Usually, it's either some cutthroats from the mountains, or those horrible militia soldiers from the city.
Rosi	They've been raiding our farm rather frequently lately. But you don't look like you're one of them, or are you?
Me	What are you doing here?
Rosi	I've been asking myself that for several years. Sekob, my husband, has fallen out with everyone in the area by now.
Rosi	He's in debt everywhere. And so he steals goods from Onar's stocks and sells them in town.
Rosi	By now, he's accumulated a fortune with his underhanded dealings.
Rosi	And he works our field hands until their backs break. His own people call him nothing but slave-driver these days.
Rosi	I'm not particularly proud to call myself the wife of Sekob, believe me. Sometimes I wish the Barrier were still in place.
Rosi	Would you like to buy something to eat, or perhaps something for hunting in the forest?
Me	What can you offer me?
Rosi	What do you want?
Me	Barrier?
Rosi	Well, the dome that used to enclose the old Valley of Mines.
Rosi	Many of the farmers and workers who committed a crime back then were simply tossed in there, and they never came back.
Me	Have you ever been at the Barrier?
Rosi	No. We only heard about it. Bengar, the farmer on the high pastures, can surely tell you more about that.
Rosi	His farm is quite close to the pass which leads to the Valley of Mines.
Me	How can I get to Bengar's farm?
Rosi	Go ask Balthasar. He's our shepherd. He sometimes leads his animals to graze on Bengar's pastures up there.
Rosi	He'll be able to tell you how to get there.
Me	Why do the militia attack you on your farms here?
Rosi	Because there's nobody there to prevent them from simply plundering our farms instead of buying our goods.
Rosi	The king is far away, and we just have to put up with working for Onar and hoping that Onar will send help when we really need it.
Me	What does Onar's help look like?
Rosi	Sometimes we receive warning in advance when some militiamen are planning to pay us a visit on their own account to rob us.
Rosi	Then we send somebody to the old landowner to ask him for help.
Rosi	And then, usually, it doesn't take long for the mercenaries he pays to come here and chase off the militia.
Rosi	But, when all is said and done, the mercenaries aren't much better.
Me	Keep your chin up.
Rosi	Go jump in the lake.
Rosi	Take care of yourself and don't let them get to you.
Me	What are you doing here in the wilderness?
Rosi	I couldn't take it any more on Sekob's farm. Sekob threw one hissy fit after another.
Rosi	In the end, one couldn't talk to him at all. All he would do was yell.
Rosi	I must get away from here, but I don't know where to turn.
Rosi	Interested in a little deal?
Me	I'll get you out of here.
Me	I could take you to the city.
Me	I'll bring you to the landowner's farm.
Me	Come away to the monastery. You'll be welcome there.
Rosi	I'll never forget what you did for me. I'll pay you, of course.
Rosi	You go first. I'll follow.
Rosi	You go first. We'll follow.
Rosi	I'll find my own way from here.
Rosi	Thank you. I don't know what I would have done without you.
Rosi	Please accept this modest gift as a reward.
Me	See, now you're home again.
Rosi	You are the worst piece of dung I've met in my life, you filthy swine.
Me	Selling illegal mine shares - have you no shame?
Rosi	No. I need to live, too, and I'm not the one who brought them into circulation.
