(with anticipation) Ah - you're bringing your offering for Innos. That's good of you, my son.
Gorax
I shall use your offering for the best of the monastery as it pleases Innos.
Gorax
What have you done with that gold? Did you spend it? Go get it and then come back!
Me
Here, I've got the statuette that Daron was supposed to bring to the monastery.
Gorax
(sighs) It is truly embarrassing that such a valuable piece is brought to us by an aspiring novice.
Gorax
Nevertheless, this confirms your commitment to serve Innos.
Gorax
I am very obliged to you, young novice.
Gorax
Statuette? I see no statuette. Bring it to me, and I might believe your little story.
Me
I'm looking for a place to sleep.
Gorax
There's an empty bed right next door. The first on the right, next to the entrance. You can sleep there.
Gorax
You can store your belongings in one of the unused chests.
Gorax
And remember - you have no business entering the sleeping chambers of the magicians. You are also not allowed to enter the library unless you have been given permission.
Me
Do you have an assignment for me?
Gorax
You novices have worked hard lately. And those who work a lot shall eat a lot, too.
Gorax
I'm giving you the key to the larder. You'll find some mutton sausages there. Distribute them among the novices - but fairly!
Gorax
Once you have done that, you can come see me again.
Me
I have distributed the sausages.
Gorax
And you have done so fairly. Take these spell scrolls of healing - and go back to your work.
Gorax
Really? Then you cannot have put much effort into fulfilling your task.
Gorax
So, either you ate those sausages yourself, or you gave someone more than his share.
Gorax
Listen, since you're new - and for that reason only - I shall let you get away with it. Keep that in mind, novice!
Me
Do you have another assignment for me?
Gorax
Yes. As you know, we make an excellent wine here and we sell it, too.
Gorax
Orlan, the landlord of the inn 'The Dead Harpy' has ordered a shipment. We've agreed on 240 gold pieces for the bottles.
Gorax
Bring him these bottles - but don't let him shortchange you.
Me
I went to see Orlan.
Gorax
And, did you get the 240 gold coins?
Gorax
What have you done with that gold? Did you spend it? Go get it and then come back!
Me
He put one over on me!
Gorax
You sold it to him cheaper? Oh no, why did I have to send YOU of all people?
Gorax
You really are utterly and completely useless. Now get out of my sight.
Me
I've got the gold.
Gorax
Excellent. You're really useful. Take this spell scroll of healing as a reward. And now go and find yourself something else to do.
Gorax
But you've already spent part of the money, haven't you? You're good for nothing - begone!
Me
What's your task here?
Gorax
My tasks are many and varied. Not only am I the steward, but I am also the treasurer.
Gorax
Moreover, I supervise the wine cellar, and I'm in control of the monastery's food supplies.
Gorax
So, if there's anything you need, you can always come to me and get it - for a modest contribution, that is.
Me
I need a few things ...
Me
I need a new place to sleep.
Gorax
There's a free chamber on the right here. Take the key. You'll find everything you need there.
Gorax
Wait, mercenary. I need to talk to you.
Me
What do you want?
Gorax
The monastery is facing a very delicate situation.
Gorax
At the moment, everyone seems to mistrust everybody else. And then, this thing with Pedro, that's extremely ... (gulps)
Gorax
I have an assignment for you from the highest authorities. You are not a member of the Brotherhood of the Fire, and therefore the only one here who can settle this matter for us.
Gorax
But I must warn you. If I give you this assignment, you'll be bound to fulfill it, too. Once you know what it's about, you'll have no choice. Do you understand?
Me
Forget it. That's too risky for me.
Gorax
All right. In that case, forget I said anything.
Me
Tell me what you want.
Gorax
All right. Then listen well, for I'm only going to say this once.
Gorax
Serpentes wants you to kill Pedro for his treason as soon as you lay your hands on him.
Gorax
You will be paid as soon as this task is fulfilled.
Gorax
I never said that. And you haven't heard anything either, understand?
