Kati

HeroTextAudio
KatiThose cutthroats are threatening my husband! We are citizens of the town, loyal to the king, and the mercenaries are planning to rob us!
KatiNow don't you just stand there. Do something then! Help us.
MeAre you all right?
Kati(sobs) My beloved husband is dead! Oh Innos, why do you punish me so hard?
KatiYes, I'm fine, thank you.
MeAkil says you've got a meal for me.
KatiWe've hit some hard times ever since the Barrier fell and the land is no longer safe.
KatiHere's a loaf of bread, a little meat and some water. That's all I can spare, I'm afraid.
MeBaltram sent me. I'm supposed to pick up a shipment for him.
KatiYes, of course. Here, I've packed it all up.
MeWhy don't you defend yourselves against Onar's tyranny?
KatiFor us farmers near the city, it makes more sense to stay on the good side of the city militia than to rely on Onar's mercenaries.
KatiOn the other hand, there's Bengar and Sekob who would rather give up their farms than work for the king.
MeWhere do I find the farms of Bengar and Sekob?
KatiThey're not far from the farm where the landowner lives. Go east from here, and you'll find them.
MeHaven't you ever considered moving away from here?
KatiIt's not easy to get away from this part of the country. All the land is walled in by a high, insurmountable chain of mountains.
KatiThe only two ways out of here are the pass to the Valley of Mines, and the harbor.
KatiSince we cannot afford passage on a ship, and the Valley of Mines is a place of no return, we're going to have to stay here.
MeWhat do you know about the pass?
KatiI've never been there myself. But it must be somewhere near Bengar's farm on the high pastures.
MeLook out for your husband.
KatiI shall do my best.
MeEverything still fine with you?
KatiWe can manage. I just wonder how much longer we're going to have to endure these devils in black.
KatiI can't stand it any more. They sneak around the house, making those funny noises.
