Snaf | Do you want to eat or chatter? What'll it be? | |
Me | What's on the menu? | |
Snaf | I want to try out a new dish - 'Fire strips in Hammer sauce'. | |
Me | Fire strips? | |
Snaf | Crisp, delicately roasted meat, mixed with pickled fireweed. | |
Snaf | But don't worry - I already have the ingredients for that. | |
Me | Hammer sauce? | |
Snaf | A sauce made from a hammer-hard booze. I have a recipe from a guy called Lou. | |
Snaf | You get the ingredients and distill the booze up on the alchemist's bench, then I'll make a sauce out of it. What do you think? | |
Me | I don't have time for that. | |
Snaf | Then forget it. | |
Me | Okay, I'll do it. | |
Snaf | All right. Here's the recipe. | |
Me | I distilled the booze. | |
Snaf | Excellent, then I'll finish it. | |
Snaf | Here, you can try a portion right away. That'll put some strength in your arm. | |
Snaf | Oh, and if I can help you again... For you, all information is for free from now on. | |
Me | What do you know about the attack? | |
Snaf | The thing with Esteban? | |
Snaf | You know how it is. The barkeeper hears everything, but never takes sides... | |
Me | So do you know something? | |
Snaf | I didn't say THAT. | |
Me | At least tell me who I can go to. | |
Snaf | Oh, man! Where's the difference? Forget that! | |
Me | If you were in my place, what would you do? | |
Snaf | I would think about what I know about the guy behind it. | |
Snaf | First, it was probably one of the bandits, that means he is here in the camp. | |
Snaf | Second, that he's here in the camp means that he is watching you. | |
Snaf | Third, as long as he thinks that you're on Esteban's side, he'll never reveal himself to you. | |
Snaf | So the INTERESTING question is: what are your chances of finding your man? | |
Me | What are my chances of finding my man? | |
Snaf | Hmmm... | |
Snaf | They're pretty dim. Some people have noticed that you're involved with Senyan. | |
Snaf | You'll have to break off your connection with him, otherwise you'll never have a chance of finding the one responsible for the attack. | |
Snaf | You bumped off one of Esteban's people. The man you're looking for will believe you are on his side. | |
Snaf | But he won't just reveal himself to you. You will have to find out more. | |
Snaf | Finn seems to be really agitated since you talked to him. | |
Snaf | And everyone here knows that he's in good standing with Esteban. | |
Snaf | That means you probably told him something he didn't want to hear. | |
Snaf | That will please the man you are looking for... | |
Snaf | However, there is the danger that he will run to Esteban with it - (ironically) but you know that yourself... | |
Snaf | They say you told Finn that you work for Esteban. | |
Snaf | I don't know what you're really planning, but the man you're looking for will certainly be more careful from now on. | |
Snaf | So far everything is still open. | |
Me | Thanks. | |
Snaf | (curtly) Hey! I didn't tell you anything you didn't already know, got it?! | |
Me | I knew that... | |
Snaf | Exactly. | |
Me | Huno sent me. | |
Snaf | Looks like you found your man. | |
Snaf | Go on up to the next floor, someone's waiting for you. | |
Me | What do people here think of Esteban? | |
Snaf | You'll have to be a bit more precise... | |
Snaf | Each piece of information will cost you... | |
Me | How much? | |
Snaf | 10 gold pieces! | |
Snaf | You don't have enough gold, boy! | |
Me | What about Paul? | |
Snaf | I don't think he particularly likes Esteban. Since he's been working for Huno, he'll never get into the mine. | |
Me | What does Huno think of Esteban? | |
Snaf | Ah! Huno. I know almost nothing about him. | |
Snaf | (grins) That information is, of course, free. | |
Me | What about Fisk? | |
Snaf | Fisk is Fisk. He pays his share to Esteban and distributes the goods he mostly gets from the pirates. | |
Snaf | I don't think he really cares about Esteban. | |
Me | Emilio. What does he think about Esteban? | |
Snaf | I don't think he'd bring any flowers to Esteban's grave, if you know what I mean. | |
Me | What about Senyan? | |
Snaf | Senyan is one of Esteban's boys. He's been working for him for quite a while. | |
Me | What does Lennar think about Esteban? | |
Snaf | As far as I can tell, Lennar doesn't think AT ALL. | |
Me | What about Finn? | |
Snaf | A good digger. He has a nose for gold. | |
Snaf | Esteban favors him because of it. I think he's in pretty good standing with him. | |
Me | What do YOU think of Esteban? | |
Snaf | Whoever talks about him is soon dead... | |
Me | How's business? | |
Snaf | Good! Esteban's death is a reason for some here to celebrate... | |
