Daron

HeroTextAudio
DaronWhat can I do for you? Are you seeking spiritual comfort?
DaronDo you want to direct a prayer to our Lord Innos, or donate some gold for his church?
MeI need to talk to the paladins. Can you help me get to them?
DaronWell, you need access to the upper end of town. However, this is allowed only to citizens and the city watch.
DaronAnd, of course, to us Magicians of Fire.
MeHow can I become a Fire Magician?
DaronYou must join our order as a novice. When you have served for a time, perhaps you will be accepted into the ranks of the magicians.
DaronHowever, the path to acceptance is long and full of work and study.
MeI've come to get your blessing!
DaronThat's good, that's good - then you will probably want to donate gold to the holy church of Innos, won't you?
MeActually, I wanted your blessing so I can sign on as an apprentice in the lower part of town ...
DaronBut I have already given you my blessing, my son.
DaronGo with Innos, my son!
DaronBut, my son! Without a modest donation to the church, it is impossible for me to bless you.
DaronHow else can I be certain of your good intentions towards the holy church of Innos?
MeSo how much does a donation usually run to here?
DaronWell, that depends on what percentage you want to give. Let me see how much you brought.
Daron(looking in money pouch) Mmmmh hmmm ...
DaronHm, you're a poor soul, aren't you? Keep the little you have.
DaronWell, you don't have much, but neither are you poor. 10 gold pieces for Innos - we live modestly.
DaronYou have more than 50 gold coins. Donate 25 to Innos and receive his blessing.
DaronYou have more than a hundred gold pieces - the Lord says, give if you have.
DaronThe church accepts your generous donation.
DaronI bless you in the name of Innos. For he is light and righteousness.
MeWhere do you come from?
DaronI come from the monastery of the Magicians, which lies in the mountains.
DaronWe accept everyone there who is pure of heart and feels the desire to serve our almighty Lord Innos.
MeTell me about Innos.
DaronInnos, our almighty lord, is the light and the fire.
DaronHe chose humans to be his tool, giving them magic and laws.
DaronWe act in his name. We administer justice according to his will and preach his word.
MeTell me more about the monastery.
DaronWe instruct our students in all forms of magic. But the arts of the Magicians of Fire consist of more than these alone.
DaronWe are also well versed in the art of alchemy, and in the creation of powerful runes.
DaronWe also make an excellent wine.
MeWhat are you doing in town?
DaronI have discussions with the paladins and support the citizens with my advice and helpful words.
DaronParticularly in these difficult times, it is our duty to be there for the people and to help the poor.
MeI heard rumors about a statuette you have supposedly lost.
DaronHave you, now? You can only have heard that from Vatras the Water Mage.
MeWhat's the problem?
DaronA very valuable statuette has been sent to the monastery from the mainland. But it never arrived at the monastery.
MeHas the ship been raided?
Daron(ashamed) No. It got to Khorinis safe and sound, and I went to collect it there.
DaronThen, when I was on my way to the monastery, a band of goblins got hold of it.
Daron(angrily) Now don't you look at me that way. We magicians are only human, too, you know.
MeDidn't you try to get that statuette back?
DaronOf course I did! I searched for it high and low. But to no avail.
MeYou said that the goblins have it now?
DaronThey stole it and made off into the underbrush with it.
DaronI never saw them again. They're probably holing up in some pit in the ground.
MeWhere was it that you lost that statuette?
DaronI was on my way to the monastery. Near Orlan's tavern.
MeOrlan's tavern? Where would that be?
DaronIf you leave the city by this gate here and simply follow the path, you'll come to a house that stands by itself.
DaronThat's Orlan's tavern. The 'Dead Harpy'.
MeI've heard enough. I'll find the thing for you.
DaronMay Innos guide you and protect you from the dangers that await you outside the city gates.
MeI found your statuette.
DaronPraise be to Innos!
MeWhat will you do with it now?
DaronNothing at all. It brought me nothing but bad luck.
DaronYOU'll take it back to the monastery for me, son.
DaronNaturally, they won't let you in unless you dedicate the rest of your life to serving the monastery.
DaronBut I'm sure you won't mind doing that if it means you can be of service to ME, right?
DaronGo with Innos, my son!
MeI took your statuette to the monastery. So you can relax now.
DaronThat's good news. May Innos protect you.
DaronTake this as a small token of my gratitude, son.
MeI am poor!
DaronSo, you are impoverished. No wonder in these times. Take this gold, it should help you.
DaronBut you should look for work, then you will see how quickly gold comes to you. And then you may give to the church of Innos, as she has given to you.
MeI want to make a donation ...
DaronYou have donated more than 1000 gold pieces overall to me.
DaronThe blessing of the Lord Innos is always with you.
MeBut I didn't bring enough gold ...
DaronThat doesn't matter, my son. You can also donate as much as you want later.
DaronI bless you in the name of Innos. For he is light and righteousness.
DaronYou can donate at any time if you have brought enough gold.
DaronInnos, you are the light which illuminates the path of the just.
DaronIn your name, I bless this man. May your light shine upon him.
DaronThe Lord says - if you wish to pray, open your spirit. And if you wish to donate, bring your gift along.
DaronInnos, bless this man. Let your light shine upon him.
DaronGive him strength to behave justly.
DaronIf you want to donate that much gold, you should actually bring it, too.
