Lobart | I don't believe it! The bastard is running around in MY clothes! | |
Lobart | Hey, you! | |
Lobart | Since you were here the last time, some of my stuff has been missing from my chest! | |
Lobart | You should be making yourself useful around here, not sniffing around in my house, you lazy bum! | |
Lobart | You give me back my clothes right now! | |
Me | Here, take them back. | |
Lobart | If you want them, you can PAY for them! | |
Lobart | (curt) Now go make yourself useful! | |
Me | I don't have them any more. | |
Lobart | You already sold them, huh? (ranting) I'll teach you, laddie! | |
Me | Forget it! | |
Lobart | (ranting) I'll teach you, laddie! | |
Lobart | Why are you hanging around on my land? | |
Lobart | (appraising) Whose side are you on? The rebelling farmers or the King? | |
Lobart | What can I do for you? | |
Me | I'm for the peasants! | |
Lobart | Ha! That damned warmonger Onar will drag us all into the grave! | |
Lobart | What do you think, how long will the paladins just stand by? | |
Lobart | After what Onar has done, the whole city is in an uproar. | |
Me | I'm for the King! | |
Lobart | (contemptuous) 'For the King!' That's what the city guard said when they took half my sheep. | |
Lobart | But where are those bastards when we have to keep the bandits off our backs? Where will they be when the orcs invade us? | |
Lobart | I'll tell you: in the city, behind thick walls. | |
Lobart | So, leave me alone with the King. | |
Me | I don't understand ... | |
Lobart | What?! Don't mess with me, boy! I want to know where you stand! So, who are you for?! | |
Me | I need some sensible clothes! | |
Lobart | I can give you clean farmer's work clothes. | |
Lobart | Can you pay for them, then? | |
Lobart | You could work off a part of the price ... if you're someone who is LOOKING for work. | |
Me | How much for the work clothes? | |
Lobart | Well, we'll see ... | |
Lobart | You've worked the field for me. | |
Lobart | You helped my wife. | |
Lobart | Vino says you were a real help to him. And that's saying something - he doesn't usually hold with day laborers. | |
Lobart | Maleth says you chased the bandits off. The bastards have caused us a lot of trouble. Thanks to you we're rid of them! | |
Lobart | It's not going to get any cheaper. | |
Me | Give me the work clothes, then. | |
Lobart | Well, my boy. Honesty is the best policy. Here you go! | |
Lobart | There is a chest in my house where you will find clean things. | |
Lobart | But don't even think about taking anything else without asking! | |
Lobart | You don't have enough gold! | |
Me | That's still too expensive. | |
Lobart | Suit yourself ... | |
Me | What's going on here, anyway? | |
Lobart | Don't you know what's going on? Boy, where are you FROM? We're on the edge of a civil war! | |
Lobart | Up till now all the farmers looked at the tribute to the city as fair taxation. | |
Lobart | But since the paladins have come to Khorinis, the city guards visit us more and more often - and little by little, they're taking everything. | |
Lobart | If it goes on like this, soon we won't have anything left for ourselves. | |
Lobart | Some farmers are starting to rebel! Onar was the first of them! | |
Me | Tell me more about this Onar ... | |
Lobart | You're a mercenary, aren't you? So what else could I tell you about your boss? | |
Lobart | Onar is the biggest farmer here in the area. He has broken with the city. | |
Lobart | They say he's hired mercenaries to keep the city guard off his back! | |
Lobart | Can't blame him. | |
Lobart | In any case, no royal soldier dares to set foot on his farm any more. | |
Me | Who are those mercenaries that Onar hired? | |
Lobart | I don't know much about the fellows. Supposedly, a lot of them are former prisoners from the mining colony. | |
Lobart | (scornful) Everybody knows what you can expect from them ... | |
Me | What about you? Whose side are you on? Peasants or King? | |
Lobart | I'm too close to the city to really have a choice. | |
Lobart | But I'm glad about that. I wouldn't know how to decide. | |
Lobart | The King is bleeding us dry, and Onar sets his mercenaries on anyone who won't join him. | |
Lobart | That's why most of the other farmers are still undecided, but sooner or later they'll HAVE to choose one side or the other. | |
Me | I'm looking for work. | |
Lobart | I can't use another farmhand. But I could offer some work to a day laborer. | |
Lobart | What I mean is, you can lend a hand in the field. And there are certainly a few other things to do around here. | |
Lobart | I could pay you with gold. Or give you a few decent things to wear. | |
Lobart | The things are worth a fair bit. I can't give them to you for nothing, but I can sell them to you cheap, if you work for me. | |
Lobart | By the looks of you, I should say: take the clothes. | |
Lobart | But you already have clothes, so you probably want the gold. | |
Lobart | Anyway - the small turnip field next to the barn needs to be harvested. | |
Me | All right ... | |
Lobart | Then hurry it up a bit, before I change my mind. | |
Me | I'm supposed to pull turnips? You've got to be kidding! | |
Lobart | Real man's work isn't for such a 'fine gentleman', eh? | |
Lobart | Get out into the field or get off of my farm! | |
Lobart | I don't have anything else for you to do at the moment. | |
Me | Here are your turnips! | |
Lobart | Hey, you're not all that worthless after all. | |
Lobart | Take them to my wife in the house and tell her to cook them. | |
Me | What about my pay? | |
Lobart | I can give you 5 gold pieces. | |
Lobart | ... or sell you the clothes cheaper, what's it to be? | |
Lobart | But that's not even 20 of them! | |
Lobart | Did you eat the rest?! I hope not, my boy, otherwise you can forget your pay! | |
Lobart | Get out there, and get more! Go back to work or I'll make you! | |
Me | Give me 5 gold pieces! | |
Lobart | Here. | |
Lobart | And don't drink it all at once. | |
Me | Make me a better price for the togs! | |
Lobart | Good! I'll give them to you for 10 gold pieces less. | |
Me | Have you got anything else for me to do? | |
Lobart | First get the turnips in from the field. Then we'll see. | |
Lobart | I don't, but you can ask my wife or the boys in the fields. Maybe they need some help. | |
Me | Andre sent me to you. Is there anything I can do for you? | |
Lobart | Yeah, sure. Those damned field raiders are making me sick. | |
Lobart | Do them all in. I don't care how! | |
Me | I've done away with the things! | |
Lobart | Well done. You're not a bad exterminator. I'll recommend you around. Here, take this as payment. | |
Me | I think I've done away with the things! | |
Lobart | Don't try to fool me. I can still see them. Either you kill the critters, or we can forget the whole thing. | |
Me | How's your farm? | |
Lobart | I can't stand it any more. | |
Lobart | All of a sudden these fellows in black hoods showed up and posted themselves on the road, and on my farm. | |
Lobart | They spent a long time talking to Vino and then they disappeared with him. | |
Lobart | A short time later, my wife took deathly ill again. She spends most of the time just lying in bed. That happens to her frequently. | |
Lobart | I'm falling apart here! | |
Me | Why don't you take your wife to the healer? | |
Lobart | We ought to go to the city to see Vatras about it, but I won't budge an inch from my farm as long as things are so chaotic here. | |
Me | Have you talked to the men in black? | |
Lobart | Sure. There was no way to prevent it. | |
Lobart | I think they're looking for someone. | |
Me | Why don't you do anything about those black robes? | |
Lobart | I'd surely love to. But I saw how they burned one of the townspeople alive. Just like that. | |
Lobart | Why should I risk my life? | |
Me | What was their business with Vino? | |
Lobart | They didn't say. They just took him with them. | |
Me | Where did they drag Vino off to? | |
Lobart | They went up that hill with him. | |
Me | Vino isn't going to come back. | |
Me | He is dead. | |
Me | They drove him insane. | |
Lobart | By Innos. Hopefully, this nightmare will be over soon. | |
Me | Watch out for your farm! | |
Lobart | I'll try. | |
Me | You've got an orc problem. | |
Lobart | (ranting) Damnit. Doesn't the stress ever end? | |
Lobart | If this goes on, my farm won't be worth 3 gold coins. | |
Me | I got rid of the orcs on your land. | |
Lobart | Don't let anyone say that the paladins don't do anything for us small farmers. | |
Lobart | Thank Innos. I can't give you much, but I hope you'll appreciate my gesture of gratitude. | |
