Daron | What can I do for you? Are you seeking spiritual comfort? | |
Daron | Do you want to direct a prayer to our Lord Innos, or donate some gold for his church? | |
Me | I need to talk to the paladins. Can you help me get to them? | |
Daron | Well, you need access to the upper end of town. However, this is allowed only to citizens and the city watch. | |
Daron | And, of course, to us Magicians of Fire. | |
Me | How can I become a Fire Magician? | |
Daron | You 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. | |
Daron | However, the path to acceptance is long and full of work and study. | |
Me | I've come to get your blessing! | |
Daron | That's good, that's good - then you will probably want to donate gold to the holy church of Innos, won't you? | |
Me | Actually, I wanted your blessing so I can sign on as an apprentice in the lower part of town ... | |
Daron | But I have already given you my blessing, my son. | |
Daron | Go with Innos, my son! | |
Daron | But, my son! Without a modest donation to the church, it is impossible for me to bless you. | |
Daron | How else can I be certain of your good intentions towards the holy church of Innos? | |
Me | So how much does a donation usually run to here? | |
Daron | Well, that depends on what percentage you want to give. Let me see how much you brought. | |
Daron | (looking in money pouch) Mmmmh hmmm ... | |
Daron | Hm, you're a poor soul, aren't you? Keep the little you have. | |
Daron | Well, you don't have much, but neither are you poor. 10 gold pieces for Innos - we live modestly. | |
Daron | You have more than 50 gold coins. Donate 25 to Innos and receive his blessing. | |
Daron | You have more than a hundred gold pieces - the Lord says, give if you have. | |
Daron | The church accepts your generous donation. | |
Daron | I bless you in the name of Innos. For he is light and righteousness. | |
Me | Where do you come from? | |
Daron | I come from the monastery of the Magicians, which lies in the mountains. | |
Daron | We accept everyone there who is pure of heart and feels the desire to serve our almighty Lord Innos. | |
Me | Tell me about Innos. | |
Daron | Innos, our almighty lord, is the light and the fire. | |
Daron | He chose humans to be his tool, giving them magic and laws. | |
Daron | We act in his name. We administer justice according to his will and preach his word. | |
Me | Tell me more about the monastery. | |
Daron | We instruct our students in all forms of magic. But the arts of the Magicians of Fire consist of more than these alone. | |
Daron | We are also well versed in the art of alchemy, and in the creation of powerful runes. | |
Daron | We also make an excellent wine. | |
Me | What are you doing in town? | |
Daron | I have discussions with the paladins and support the citizens with my advice and helpful words. | |
Daron | Particularly in these difficult times, it is our duty to be there for the people and to help the poor. | |
Me | I heard rumors about a statuette you have supposedly lost. | |
Daron | Have you, now? You can only have heard that from Vatras the Water Mage. | |
Me | What's the problem? | |
Daron | A very valuable statuette has been sent to the monastery from the mainland. But it never arrived at the monastery. | |
Me | Has the ship been raided? | |
Daron | (ashamed) No. It got to Khorinis safe and sound, and I went to collect it there. | |
Daron | Then, 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. | |
Me | Didn't you try to get that statuette back? | |
Daron | Of course I did! I searched for it high and low. But to no avail. | |
Me | You said that the goblins have it now? | |
Daron | They stole it and made off into the underbrush with it. | |
Daron | I never saw them again. They're probably holing up in some pit in the ground. | |
Me | Where was it that you lost that statuette? | |
Daron | I was on my way to the monastery. Near Orlan's tavern. | |
Me | Orlan's tavern? Where would that be? | |
Daron | If you leave the city by this gate here and simply follow the path, you'll come to a house that stands by itself. | |
Daron | That's Orlan's tavern. The 'Dead Harpy'. | |
Me | I've heard enough. I'll find the thing for you. | |
Daron | May Innos guide you and protect you from the dangers that await you outside the city gates. | |
Me | I found your statuette. | |
Daron | Praise be to Innos! | |
Me | What will you do with it now? | |
Daron | Nothing at all. It brought me nothing but bad luck. | |
Daron | YOU'll take it back to the monastery for me, son. | |
Daron | Naturally, they won't let you in unless you dedicate the rest of your life to serving the monastery. | |
Daron | But I'm sure you won't mind doing that if it means you can be of service to ME, right? | |
Daron | Go with Innos, my son! | |
Me | I took your statuette to the monastery. So you can relax now. | |
Daron | That's good news. May Innos protect you. | |
Daron | Take this as a small token of my gratitude, son. | |
Me | I am poor! | |
Daron | So, you are impoverished. No wonder in these times. Take this gold, it should help you. | |
Daron | But 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. | |
Me | I want to make a donation ... | |
Daron | You have donated more than 1000 gold pieces overall to me. | |
Daron | The blessing of the Lord Innos is always with you. | |
Me | But I didn't bring enough gold ... | |
Daron | That doesn't matter, my son. You can also donate as much as you want later. | |
Daron | I bless you in the name of Innos. For he is light and righteousness. | |
Daron | You can donate at any time if you have brought enough gold. | |
Daron | Innos, you are the light which illuminates the path of the just. | |
Daron | In your name, I bless this man. May your light shine upon him. | |
Daron | The Lord says - if you wish to pray, open your spirit. And if you wish to donate, bring your gift along. | |
Daron | Innos, bless this man. Let your light shine upon him. | |
Daron | Give him strength to behave justly. | |
Daron | If you want to donate that much gold, you should actually bring it, too. | |
