Maleth	Hey, stranger!
Maleth	I saw how you came out of the mountains.
Maleth	You can be glad you didn't come by here three weeks ago.
Maleth	We would have taken you for an escaped convict. And we made short work of those!
Maleth	You look completely done in.
Maleth	You looked completely done in when you arrived.
Maleth	Well, you look almost human again by now!
Maleth	(distrustful) What do you want here?
Me	I was attacked by bandits in the mountains.
Maleth	Those filthy rabble! They were probably the same bastards who took one of our sheep last night!
Maleth	You had terrific luck. Most people DON'T get away alive.
Me	Those bandits won't trouble you any more ...
Maleth	Why? Are they dead?
Me	They picked a fight with the wrong guy ...
Maleth	Thank Innos! Here - it isn't much, but I want you to have it!
Maleth	I'll tell the others about this!
Me	I know the hideout of the bandits ...
Maleth	Do you want to attack them? Count me out! It's much too dangerous!
Maleth	Besides, I have to watch over my sheep!
Maleth	But if you think you can get the riff-raff off our backs, the whole farm would be very grateful to you.
Me	I'm on my way to town.
Maleth	The way you look, you'll have to bribe the guards to get in.
Maleth	And you have to know what they want to hear.
Maleth	They might let you in - if you tell them what they want to hear ...
Me	And that would be?
Maleth	Well, for example, that you're from Lobart's farm and want to go to the smith in the city.
Maleth	But that won't do you any good. You don't look like a farmer.
Me	I see.
Me	I need better equipment!
Maleth	I can imagine. But I'll tell you right now: we don't have anything to give away!
Maleth	If you can pay for what you want, Lobart will sell you something.
Maleth	Otherwise, go to him and ask him if he has work for you.
Me	Where can I find Lobart?
Maleth	Well, on the farm, of course! The farm belongs to him!
Maleth	And don't try messing with him! He's thrashed a lot of tramps and thrown them off his farm.
Me	Any new developments in the last few days?
Maleth	Just go down the path to the city.
Maleth	If you run into a fellow with a black robe, then you'll know what's new.
Me	Have the black robes come to see you yet?
Maleth	Yeah. They've been here for a few days. If you ask me they come straight from hell.
Me	How are your sheep?
Maleth	(angry) As if that would interest you at all. You have other problems.
Me	My problems? What would you know about that?
Maleth	(brusque) Do you belong to the city guard or not? Then do something about these black-robed bastards.
Maleth	(angry) You filthy mercenaries only think of one thing: how do I get other people's money into my pocket.
Maleth	You noble lords from the monastery should do something about these hooded fellows.
Me	What's your problem?
Maleth	I blame that moonshine rotgut Vino palmed off on me a few weeks ago.
Maleth	I can hardly remember anything at all, man. I only know that my walking stick has been missing since then.
Me	And that's what you're raising such a ruckus for?
Maleth	That's easy for you to say, it doesn't belong to you.
Me	Hey, watch your mouth, buddy.
Maleth	All you can do is talk big. The best thing would be if you went away.
Me	I think this walking stick belongs to you.
Maleth	That's terrific. I ...
Me	Just a moment. First you pay for it.
Maleth	But ... I don't have much.
Me	Then think of something else.
Maleth	Okay. How about this? Yesterday I saw some bandits run past with a few bags of gold.
Maleth	If I tell you where they keep their booty, can I have my walking stick back?
Me	All right.
Maleth	Okay. You just go west to that piece of woods over there. You'll find a ravine there.
Maleth	You should find something in the cave there.
Me	Sorry, not interested. I want your gold.
Maleth	Here's everything I have. That has to be enough.
Me	Don't get all worked up.
Maleth	(irritated) Beat it.
