Opolos

HeroTextAudio
OpolosHello, you must be the new fellow.
OpolosI'm Opolos. I take care of the sheep around here.
MeI've got this mutton sausage here ...
OpolosOh, man, fantastic! Finally another delicious mutton sausage.
MeHow long have you been in the monastery?
OpolosI've been here three years. But so far I haven't studied, although I'd like to.
MeWhy not?
OpolosMy job is looking after the sheep - not studying the scriptures.
OpolosAnd as long as Master Parlan doesn't release me from this duty, I'm not allowed to study in the library.
MeHow shall I act here in the monastery?
OpolosNever lie to a magician. Don't transgress against a brother of the community.
OpolosRespect the property of the community. If you violate these rules, you have to pay a penalty to Master Parlan.
OpolosApart from that, I can only advise you to be careful around Agon. If you don't watch out, you'll end up like Babo.
MeIs there anything you can teach me?
OpolosSure, I used to beat up people. I can show you how to strengthen your arms.
OpolosBut I'd like to learn something about potions, especially about magic potions.
MeHow can I help you with that?
OpolosWell, if you work for Neoras you'll certainly have an opportunity to 'borrow' one of his recipes for a short time.
OpolosIf you bring it to me so that I can take a look at it, I'll train you.
MeI've got the recipe you wanted.
OpolosGood, then let me read it.
OpolosAha ... hm ... yes ... I see ... well, well ...
OpolosGood, thanks a lot. If you want, you can train with me.
MeI already brought the recipe back to Neoras.
OpolosOh shit - I'll probably never get to study here. So what. I'll train you anyway.
MeI'll get back to that later.
MeI want to become stronger.
OpolosYou're pretty strong now. I can't teach you any more.
MeWho are Agon and Babo?
OpolosAgon takes care of the herb garden. He's also a novice, but he acts like he was the Chosen One himself.
OpolosBabo came to the monastery shortly before you. At first he helped Agon in the herb garden.
OpolosBut they must have had a fight, and Babo has been sweeping the courtyard ever since.
MeDo you know what happened?
OpolosNot exactly. You'll have to ask them. But Agon's word has more weight than that of the other novices because he's the governor's nephew.
MeLook here, I brought Betsy. Can I leave her with you?
OpolosYes, of course. Good-looking animal. I'll take good care of her.
MeHm...somehow I seem to have misplaced it. I'll come back later.
MeAbout the library ...
OpolosThat's the locked room to the left, next to the gate.
OpolosBut you'll only get the key when Master Parlan decides that you may study the teachings.
OpolosYou lucky duck! You got the key to the library, even though you've only been here for a short while.
OpolosUse your chance and study the old scriptures!
OpolosHello. Thank you for helping me. I shall make the most of this chance and learn a lot.
OpolosBut you certainly don't have time now to talk to a simple novice, Master.
MeHow's it going?
OpolosGreat. Since I've been allowed to study, everything is wonderful.
OpolosI loyally fulfill all of the tasks given me, Master.
OpolosEvery day, Innos sets new challenges before me. I'll continue to work on improving myself.
MeHow are the sheep?
OpolosHow do you think they are? They stand around and munch grass.
OpolosI'd rather know what's happening outside. The magicians seem to be very nervous.
MeThere are dragons in the Valley of Mines. They are besieging the royal troops together with the army of orcs.
OpolosDragons - I always thought they only existed in horror stories.
MeThey are there, believe me.
OpolosBut the king's paladins will deal with them, won't they?
MeWe'll see.
MeStrangers in black robes roam the countryside.
OpolosWhat do you mean? What sort of strangers?
MeNobody knows where they've come from. They wear long, black robes, and they cover their faces.
MeThey seem to be some kind of magician. At least they are capable of magic.
OpolosThat sounds very disturbing, but I'm sure that the High Council will solve this problem.
MePedro betrayed us.
OpolosI'd heard that, but I didn't know that you were aware of that, too. That's why I didn't say anything.
OpolosIs the enemy stronger than us - I mean, can we defeat him?
MeWe're not dead yet.
