MeWhat are you doing here?
MeAre you looking for something?
MiguelPlants - I'm looking for plants.
MiguelUsually, I look for plants.
MiguelMost of the stuff that grows here can be used for something.
MiguelMany plants have healing properties and you can smoke swampweed reefers.
MiguelBefore my time behind the Barrier I worked as an alchemist.
MeWhy did they put you behind the Barrier?
MiguelI worked with mind-altering potions a lot.
MiguelOne evening, my master Ignaz drank my 'experiment' instead of his wine.
MiguelThat rendered him temporarily... eh... unpredictable, and since then he's been somewhat confused.
Miguel(snidely) The mages had me thrown behind the Barrier for that. 'Research into forbidden knowledge' they called it.
MeWhat can you tell me about the camp?
MiguelNot much. I have never been in there myself.
MiguelOnly Raven's people were there from the beginning. All the others who came later, like me, have to wait until they need new people.
MeWhere did you come from?
MiguelWell, the same way as you I suppose. With the pirates. Over the sea.
MiguelThe valley here is completely cut off. There's no connection over land.
Me(thoughtfully) Right.
MeWhen do they need new people?
MiguelWell, when they're missing some in there.
MiguelIf a digger gets himself eaten by a minecrawler, they let one of us replace him.
MiguelSometimes they also kill each other. But they've been better about that lately.
MiguelRaven has controlled the access to the mine somehow, so that not everyone can get in at the same time.
MiguelBut I don't know exactly how that works. I've never been inside.
MeFortuno is pretty confused and could use a potion to restore his memory.
MiguelFortuno? That's Raven's servant, no?
MeHe was. Now he's just a wreck. And it's Raven's fault.
MiguelRaven? Until now, I thought a lot of him. Hm, all right. But here in the swamp, I can't brew any potions.
MeI could brew the potion. There's an alchemist's bench in the camp. I just need the recipe.
MiguelBe careful with this recipe. Brewing this potion is dangerous.
MiguelIf something goes wrong in the brewing or one of the ingredients isn't right, the potion will be deadly.
MeI'll be careful.
MeCan you teach me something?
MiguelNo time. I am here to get gold. And as long as I can't get into the camp, I make a living by selling my herbs.
MiguelBut if you need a few potions, I still have some.
