Me	I've got to go.
Akil	Don't let me stop you.
Akil	So long. I really wish I could have done more for you.
Me	Is there a problem?
Akil	(sweating) ... Eh ... no, no ... everything's fine. (nervous) It ... would be better if you left now.
Me	Are you sure?
Akil	eh ... yeah, yeah ... everything's fine. You ... eh ... I ... I can't talk to you now.
Akil	Eh ... not now, I can't talk to you now.
Akil	Thank Innos. I thought my time had run out.
Akil	My name is Akil. I farm this humble piece of land.
Me	Who were those people?
Akil	You ought to recognize them. Those were mercenaries from Onar's farm. Like you.
Akil	Those were mercenaries from Onar's farm. Those bastards don't know anything but plunder and murder.
Akil	I'd been fearing the worst ...
Akil	(deep breath)... well, thank Innos it didn't come to that. Tell me what I can do for you.
Me	Nothing. Just as long as you got through this all right.
Akil	You're an exceptional fellow. May Innos guard you on your way.
Me	What about a few gold pieces?
Akil	I'm afraid I have to disappoint you - we're poor farmers. It's just enough to live on.
Akil	All I can offer you is a meal. Go to Kati and let her take care of you.
Me	What did the mercenaries want from you?
Akil	You're pulling my leg. The mercenaries wanted to collect the rent.
Akil	You don't know that? Onar, the landowner, hired them. They guard his farm and collect the rent for him.
Akil	That means they go from farm to farm and take whatever they want. And whoever can't pay gets a taste of their steel.
Me	Have you heard anything about missing citizens?
Akil	Don't make me laugh. Heard of them? Some of my own people are missing.
Akil	Tonak and Telbor used to work on my fields, until 3 days ago.
Akil	And I know exactly that they wouldn't up and leave the farm just like that.
Akil	And yet, they've simply vanished and no-one can tell me where they went.
Akil	If you happen to find out what's become of them, be sure to let me know, will you?
Me	About your farmhands ...
Akil	You brought them back - you're one brave man.
Akil	At least one of them has survived.
Akil	Take this gold as a token of my gratitude.
Me	Baltram sent me. I'm supposed to pick up a shipment for him here.
Akil	So you're his new messenger. Okay, I've already made up the package.
Me	You know your way around this area ...
Akil	Sure, what do you want to know?
Me	Where can I find Onar's farm?
Akil	Just go back down the stone steps and follow the road to the east.
Akil	At some point you come to a tavern. From there you go farther east until you come to the big fields. That's where the mercenaries hang out.
Me	What is that tavern to the east of here?
Akil	Ask Randolph. He knows more about it than I do. He's been there a few times.
Me	What is there in the woods behind your farm?
Akil	There's just a whole bunch of monsters back there - and the wolves are the least dangerous.
Akil	A few bandits are also said to have their caves there. Well - they've left my farm alone so far.
Me	Did anything else happen?
Akil	No. I hope the sheep stay where they are right now.
Akil	My sheep keep disappearing. Soon I won't be able to feed us anymore.
Akil	The orcs have shown up everywhere. Someone even mentioned their headquarters. Ask the farmer Lobart about that.
Akil	They've also spotted plenty of lizard people in this area. I wouldn't go into the caves if I were you.
Akil	The black hoods are looking for you.
Me	Now there's a novel concept.
Akil	All right. I just thought I'd mention it.
Me	Is there any other news?
Akil	Someone keeps stealing my sheep lately. I haven't been able to sleep properly for nights.
Me	Who could have done that?
Akil	I've got a hunch about that.
Akil	Some really nasty fellows have settled into the caves over in the forest.
Akil	I find it hard to believe that they're living on berries. I'm almost certain that's where my sheep are disappearing to.
Me	How many sheep are you missing?
Akil	It must be at least three that have disappeared now.
Me	Not my problem.
Akil	I understand. You have other things to worry about.
Me	I found the sheep rustlers.
Me	You were right. Those fellows in the forest cave did it. They'll never steal sheep from you again.
Akil	Thank you, noble servant of Innos.
Akil	Thanks. So the militia really does care about us small farmers.
Akil	Thanks. You sure are a strange mercenary. Not at all like the others I know.
Akil	Take this as a small token of thanks for the selfless favor you did for me.
Akil	Very good. Here's a few gold coins. I hope it's enough.
