| Him | HALT! | |
| Me | (sighs) What is it? | |
| Him | You know exactly what! | |
| Him | You are wanted in the city for murder! | |
| Him | We don't need any filthy thieves here! | |
| Him | We don't need any troublemakers in our city! | |
| Him | Why do you think we should let you in? | |
| Me | What is it? | |
| Him | YOU aren't getting in here, my boy! | |
| Me | Why not? | |
| Him | As ragged as you look, you're sure to cause nothing but trouble here! | |
| Him | We've got enough rabble in the city. We have no use for people without money. | |
| Him | What do you want this time? | |
| Me | The farmer sent me. | |
| Him | So? Have you at least got a good reason for coming here this time? | |
| Him | Are you one of the hands on Lobart's farm? I've never seen you here! | |
| Me | I haven't been with Lobart for long. | |
| Him | What do you want in the city? | |
| Me | (calmly) What? | |
| Him | Pardon me, but those are our instructions. | |
| Me | Are you trying to stop me? | |
| Him | Of course not. All members of the church of Innos are naturally welcome. | |
| Him | I only wanted to take a look at you. Looks like you've got money. You can go in. | |
| Him | No funny business. One more step and I'll hack you to bits! | |
| Him | You asked for it ... | |
| Me | Here's 100 gold pieces. Let me pass! | |
| Him | (greedy) 100 gold pieces sounds good. In you go then. | |
| Him | And go straight to Lord Andre! Otherwise you'll be out another 100 gold pieces the next time! | |
| Him | What?! Where?! I don't see 100 gold pieces. Beat it! | |
| Me | I've got a pass! | |
| Him | Really? And who did you kill for that, you cut-throat? | |
| Me | Now will you let me pass, or not? | |
| Him | Well, go on in before I change my mind! | |
| Him | Seems to be all right. Go on. | |
| Me | I want to see the blacksmith. To have some tools repaired. | |
| Him | (angry) Oh? And why didn't you say so right away? | |
| Me | I was just curious how you would react. | |
| Him | What?! Try something like that with me again and I'll show you how I react to that kind of thing, you stupid yokel! | |
| Him | Okay, fine, in you go then. | |
| Him | And if you see Lobart, you can tell him he should feed his sheep well, we're coming back to him shortly! (dirty laugh) | |
| Me | I'm bringing some herbs for Constantino the alchemist. | |
| Him | (slyly) Really? Then you won't mind showing me what you've brought. | |
| Him | (approving) Mmh. Looks good. All right. In you go. But don't cause any trouble, understood? | |
| Him | What? What is this supposed to be? | |
| Him | What's an alchemist to do with a bunch of clunky turnips? Are you trying to be cute? Get lost! | |
| Him | I don't know much about alchemy, but who is going to use this trussed-up bundle of mixed veggies for anything? Nice try. | |
| Him | What herbs? You don't have any herbs. Beat it! | |
| Me | I've come to join the militia! | |
| Him | That's a good one! Try that at the other gate - maybe THEY'LL buy that from you. | |
| Me | I need to see the leader of the paladins! I've got an important message for him! | |
| Him | Oh? And what important message might that be? | |
| Me | I have come to get the Eye of Innos! | |
| Him | What? Never heard of it - what's that supposed to be? | |
| Me | It's an important artifact. | |
| Him | You don't look much like an important messenger. Do you have some kind of identification? | |
| Me | No, I don't! | |
| Him | Then don't waste my time! | |
| Me | The hosts of evil are camped in the valley of Khorinis! | |
| Him | In the Valley of Mines? You come from there? Have you seen the army? | |
| Me | The city will soon be under attack! | |
| Him | What? By whom? The orcs? Have you seen our army? | |
| Me | No. But I know that it's led by dragons! | |
| Him | Sure! And my grandmother advises the orc generals. | |
| Him | You don't think we'll let you carry an old wives' tale like that to Lord Hagen! | |
| Him | Scram! | |
| Me | No - but I've been sent by someone who saw them. | |
| Him | (distrustful) WHO sent you? | |
| Me | Yes. I was in the valley of Khorinis. I saw some gigantic dragons! | |
| Him | You liar! The pass to the valley is held on both sides. No one gets through! | |
| Him | Get out of here! | |
| Me | A magician. | |
| Him | You have news from the magicians? Then you certainly have a seal as proof! | |
| Me | No. | |
| Him | What? The magicians ALWAYS give their messengers a seal. | |
| Me | Not this magician. | |
| Him | I don't believe you. If you're really a messenger, then spit out your news or clear off! | |
| Me | A paladin. | |
| Him | Hm, that could be - the paladins hold the pass to the Valley of Mines. | |
| Him | Give me your message and I'll report you. | |
| Me | I don't have permission to tell you that. | |
| Him | Don't act like that with me, boy! I'm a member of the city guard. | |
| Him | You can tell me EVERYTHING. So - who sent you? | |
| Me | The army of evil is led by dragons! | |
| Him | What? That can't be true. And I came that close to letting you in. | |
| Him | If you served up THAT story to Lord Hagen, he'd have handed me my head. | |
| Him | Scram! | |
| Me | I can only give this message to the paladins! | |
| Him | It doesn't work like that, boy! | |
| Him | Like hell will I let you see Lord Hagen if I can't be sure that you won't waste his valuable time. | |
| Me | No. The message is for the paladins ONLY. | |
| Him | Then your journey ends here, stranger. | |
| Him | Move along! | |
