Me	Everything all right?
RANDOLPH	Hmm ... as soon as anyone says anything wrong around here, the dance starts ... so watch your step, or there'll be a slaughter.
Me	Will you join the fight?
RANDOLPH	I'm not going to just stand here when the ruckus starts. But I'm not going to push it either.
Me	Everything all right?
RANDOLPH	Now that Kati and Akil have been taken to the realm of Innos, I'm going to run the farm.
RANDOLPH	Yes, I'm fine. That Alvares has become bolder and bolder lately. Good thing that's over now.
RANDOLPH	What I could use now is a good drop in the tavern.
Me	Baltram sent me. I'm supposed to pick up his shipment.
RANDOLPH	Good. I've already prepared everything. Here's your package.
Me	You're not from around here, right?
RANDOLPH	I come from the southern isles. At some point they said they needed people in Khorinis, because of that magic ore.
RANDOLPH	But when I got there, they had this huge barrier in place. And I didn't want to go in there. So I started working in the harbor.
RANDOLPH	Well, the ships stopped coming in, and so I went to work for Akil. I've had worse jobs, actually.
Me	You hang out in the tavern?
RANDOLPH	That's right. But not recently.
RANDOLPH	I cannot afford going there any more.
Me	What exactly is going on there in the tavern?
RANDOLPH	There's gambling there.
RANDOLPH	Two fellows compete against each other. Whoever can hold the most beer wins.
RANDOLPH	In the end, I did nothing but lose, and now I need to make some more money first.
Me	Who did you go up against?
RANDOLPH	Against Rukhar, that old good-for-nothing. So far he's beaten me every time.
RANDOLPH	But somehow I have the creeping suspicion that the filthy swine has laced my beer with gin every time.
RANDOLPH	I suspect he keeps the gin hidden in that damn chest of his. That lousy scumbag!
RANDOLPH	Somebody ought to sneak some plain water into his chest. Then he could lace my beer all he wants.
RANDOLPH	If only I had enough money to compete against him one more time.
Me	How much money do you need for the contest?
RANDOLPH	10 gold coins.
Me	I'll give you the money to compete against Rukhar.
RANDOLPH	(enthusiastically) Really? Thank you so much. I'll repay you soon.
RANDOLPH	If I win, I'll even fork out a little more than that. I'll be seeing you.
RANDOLPH	It's all right. You don't even have enough for yourself.
Me	Hangover?
RANDOLPH	This is the mother of all hangovers, and I can't get rid of it. I'll never touch another drop, I swear.
RANDOLPH	Your money is gone. I'm sorry.
RANDOLPH	Nope. I feel fine, really.
RANDOLPH	It finally worked this time. Thanks again for your money. Here, take it back.
RANDOLPH	Looks like Rukhar won't be getting up any time soon.
Me	Are you crazy?
Me	You send me off without a coin and don't bother telling me that the stuff is this expensive?
Me	Sagitta wants 300 gold coins from me.
RANDOLPH	I can't give you more than 150 gold coins. Please. You've got to help me. Please.
RANDOLPH	Really down-and-out. Ever since I stopped drinking, the deprivation is killing me. I really need help.
RANDOLPH	There is a remedy that should help.
RANDOLPH	Sagitta, the old herb witch, used to prepare it for me. But I don't think I can make it there any more with all those orcs around.
RANDOLPH	I'm still a bit wobbly on my legs, but apart from that I'm better.
Me	Booze got to your head, huh?
RANDOLPH	I'll never drink another drop. Not in this life. You can bet on that, man.
Me	Here. This will ease your withdrawal symptoms.
RANDOLPH	Oah! Thanks, man. Now I'll rest easy again.
RANDOLPH	How can I ever repay you for this?
RANDOLPH	I guess these few coins can only serve to save my face. But that's all, I'm afraid.
Me	I paid a bunch of money for you, and your few shabby coins don't even come close to reimbursing my expenses.
RANDOLPH	Well - in that case I can count myself lucky that I've met such a helpful paladin, don't you think?
