Kjorn | Hey, come over here! | |
Me | What do you want? | |
Kjorn | This valley is a dangerous place, and without the right equipment you'll find yourself dead in no time. | |
Me | I assume that YOU've got the right equipment. | |
Kjorn | You guessed it. I might even sell it to you. | |
Me | What can you offer me? | |
Me | Do you sell information as well? | |
Kjorn | That depends. If the price is right, I'll tell you everything I know. | |
Me | How much do you charge? | |
Kjorn | Hmm... hard to say. But I think that 50 gold pieces for every piece of information I give you sounds about right. | |
Me | I need some information. | |
Kjorn | 50 gold pieces! | |
Me | That's too expensive for me. | |
Me | Yes, here. | |
Me | Now tell me ... | |
Me | You know, just give me back my money, I changed my mind. | |
Kjorn | Suit yourself. | |
Me | Tell me about the dragons. | |
Kjorn | Dragons are ancient, incredibly powerful creatures. Once there were thousands of them living all over the world. | |
Kjorn | It's been over a hundred years, though, that any of them were seen. | |
Kjorn | Their blood is as hot as boiling oil. If they look into your eyes, your heart will turn to stone. So I've heard ... | |
Me | Tell me more about the dragons. | |
Kjorn | But all dragons are not alike. | |
Kjorn | Some of them could cover the entire land with a layer of ice several feet thick. | |
Kjorn | Others prefer living in swampy surroundings, or in volcanoes. | |
Me | Tell me about the Valley of Mines. | |
Kjorn | The Valley of Mines of Khorinis is known all over the country for its magic ore. | |
Kjorn | These mountains are the only place where the magic ore can be found. | |
Kjorn | A weapon forged from this ore is virtually unbreakable and will cut through the strongest armor. | |
Kjorn | Until a few weeks ago, the entire valley was surrounded by a magic barrier. It was impenetrable, and nobody could get out. | |
Me | Tell me more about the Valley of Mines. | |
Kjorn | The valley has changed a lot during these last few days. | |
Kjorn | When the orcs came, other horrible creatures showed up as well, the likes of which have never been seen around here before. | |
Kjorn | They say that a few lonely hunters are still about, but I'm not sure whether they're even still alive. | |
Kjorn | It seems like all the creatures of Beliar have flocked together in this very valley. | |
Me | Tell me about the castle. | |
Kjorn | It lies pretty much in the center of the Valley of Mines. | |
Kjorn | Back when the valley was still a prison, the ore barons controlled the entire ore trade from there. | |
Me | Tell me about the orcs. | |
Kjorn | The orcs haven't been here for long. At least those orcs in front of the castle, that is. | |
Kjorn | But I'm wondering about how well they're organized. Orcs usually attack blindly, no matter what. | |
Kjorn | These orcs are biding their time. They're waiting, but we don't know for what. | |
Me | Tell me more about the orcs. | |
Kjorn | The orcs are led by elite warriors. Those warriors are very strong and heavily armored. They are almost impossible to defeat. | |
Kjorn | I once saw one of them fell a fully-grown oak tree with one blow of his axe. | |
Me | I killed all the dragons! | |
Kjorn | (laughs) Sure, and I'm a paladin. | |
Kjorn | You might have killed ONE, but all of them? Go find somebody else who will believe you. | |
