Babo	(shyly) Hello, you're also new here, aren't you?
Me	Yes. How long have you been here?
Babo	I've been here for four weeks. Have you already been given a fighting staff?
Me	Not so far.
Babo	Then take this one. We novices all carry a staff as a sign of our ability to defend ourselves. Can you fight?
Me	Well, I've wielded a weapon or two ...
Babo	If you want, I can teach you something. However, I have a request ...
Me	What request would that be?
Babo	Well, one of the paladins, Sergio, is in the monastery at the moment.
Babo	If you can persuade him to go through a few exercises with me, then I'll train you.
Me	I shall see what can be done.
Me	I talked to Sergio. He's going to train with you every morning for two hours, starting at five o'clock.
Babo	Thanks! What an honor for me!
Babo	If you want, I'll also show you the secrets of combat.
Me	I'm ready for training.
Babo	You've learned everything about two-handed combat that I can teach you.
Babo	Fight for Innos. Innos is our life - and your faith gives you strength.
Babo	A servant of Innos never provokes an opponent - he surprises him!
Babo	No matter where you go - always take your staff along.
Babo	A servant of Innos is always prepared to fight. If you don't have any magic, your staff is your most important defense.
Babo	A servant of Innos fights not only with his staff, but also with his heart.
Babo	You have to know the point up to which you can retreat.
Babo	Remember, you fight well if you control your opponent and don't give him a chance to be in control himself.
Babo	You have only lost when you have given up.
Me	Here, have a sausage.
Babo	Oh, mutton sausages, great! They taste the best - come on, give me another sausage!
Me	Then I won't have enough left for the others.
Babo	You have one sausage too many anyway. Namely, the one for you. And what's a sausage among friends?
Babo	Come on, I'll give you a 'Fire Arrow' spell scroll for it.
Me	All right, here, take another.
Babo	All right. Here's your spell scroll.
Me	No, I won't do that.
Babo	Man, you're one of those people who are very particular about everything, huh?
Me	What happened between you and Agon?
Babo	Oh, we had a disagreement about how to take care of fire nettles.
Babo	Agon had watered them so much that the plants almost had root rot already.
Babo	Once the roots were completely rotten, he blamed me for it.
Babo	They've made me sweep the courtyard all day ever since.
Me	Why did Agon do that?
Babo	You'll have to ask him that. I think he just can't stand it when someone is better than he is.
Me	You seem to know a thing or two about plants?
Babo	We had an herb garden where I learned a few tricks from my grandpa.
Babo	I'd really prefer to work in the garden again.
Me	I'm supposed to sweep the novices' chambers.
Babo	You've saddled yourself with a lot of work there. You know what - I'll help you. You'll never finish that alone.
Babo	But I really need a 'Fist of Wind' spell scroll - you know, I got lucky and was allowed to read a book about it.
Babo	And now, naturally, I want to try the spell. So, get me the spell scroll and I'll help you.
Me	About the spell scroll ...
Babo	Do you have a Fist of Wind spell for me?
Me	Here's the spell scroll you wanted.
Babo	That's good. Then I'll help you clean the chambers.
Me	No, not so far.
Babo	Then I'll wait until you do.
Me	How's life here in the monastery?
Babo	I don't mean to complain, but I never thought that it would be so strict here. If you don't stick to the rules, they punish you.
Babo	Of course, a lot of novices want to study the teachings of Innos in the library, so they can be prepared if they're chosen.
Babo	But I think the best preparation for the test of magic is fulfilling our own tasks.
Me	What's the deal with the Chosen and that test?
Babo	Talk to Brother Igaraz. He knows a lot about that.
Me	How are you?
Babo	(humbly) I thank the magicians for my task.
Babo	I enjoy working in the garden and hope that the magicians are satisfied with me, Master.
Babo	(startled) F.. f.. fine, Master.
Babo	I, I work hard and try not to disappoint the magicians.
Me	What are you doing here?
Babo	(sheepish) I try to accomplish the tasks given to me to the satisfaction of the monastery.
Babo	I must not speak with you. It is not looked on with favor if we talk to strangers.
Me	You must never lose faith.
Babo	(caught in the act) No, ... I mean, I would never do such a thing. Honest!
Me	We all are often put through severe tests.
Babo	Yes, Master. I will always remember that. Thank you.
Me	That doesn't sound terribly happy.
Babo	(caught in the act) Well ... I mean, everything is just fine, really.
Babo	Only ... Oh, I don't want to complain.
Me	Stop whining then.
Babo	(afraid) I ... I ... please don't tell the magicians.
Babo	I don't want to be punished again.
Me	I'll think about it.
Me	Aw, come on, you can tell me.
Babo	And you really won't tell the magicians?
Me	Do I look like I would?
Babo	All right. I have a problem with one of the novices. He's got a hold over me.
Me	Come on, spit it out, then.
Babo	Igaraz, that's the novice, found some of my private papers.
Babo	He threatened to give them to the magicians if I don't do what he says.
Me	I think that's a little too personal for me.
Babo	I understand, you don't want any trouble. Then I'll just have to deal with it myself.
Me	You'll manage somehow.
Me	What are you supposed to do for him?
Babo	I don't like to talk about it. In any case, it isn't pleasing to Innos.
Babo	I don't want to think what would happen if it came out.
Me	What kind of documents are those?
Babo	(unsure) That's nobody's business. It's entirely my affair.
Me	Come on, tell me.
Babo	They are, eh ... entirely normal documents. Nothing special.
Me	I won't ask any further.
Me	Maybe I can help you?
Babo	You would do that?
Me	That depends, of course.
Babo	(hastily) Naturally, I'd pay you for that.
Me	How much?
Babo	Of course, I don't have much money, but I could give you a spell scroll. I have a healing spell.
Me	I'd rather stay away from that.
Babo	Then I don't have a choice, I have to play along.
Me	I'll see what I can do.
Babo	(happily) Honestly, it just has to work. It has to!
Babo	So, you only need to find out where Igaraz keeps the stuff. Then you swipe it from him and everything will be just fine.
Me	Relax. You just continue for now. I'll see to the rest.
Me	I've got your documents.
Babo	Really? Thanks, you've saved me. I don't know how to thank you.
Me	Yeah, yeah, just calm down.
Babo	(nervously) Are they really mine? Are you sure? Show me.
Me	I'm going to keep them a little while longer.
Babo	(stunned) What!? What is that supposed to mean? What are you planning?
Me	Just kidding.
Babo	(tartly) Ha ha, I can't laugh about it. So where are they?
Me	Here.
Babo	I didn't mean to insult you, but I'm really nervous about the whole thing.
Me	It's all right. Have fun with your DOCUMENTS, then.
Me	That's my own business.
Babo	The documents belong to me. You don't have the right to keep them.
Me	See you.
Me	Igaraz and I are partners now.
Babo	(stunned) What? You can't do that.
Me	Looks like I can. I shall keep those papers, and everything stays the way it is.
Me	I shall settle the financial part with Igaraz.
Me	Well, then, take good care of the plants.
Babo	You're a swine. A miserable, greedy swine. Innos will punish you.
Me	Mind your language.
Babo	I'm being far too nice, like always.
Me	Haven't you got anything to do?
Babo	I understand all right, but believe me, there will be consequences.
Me	Based on the bare facts, the price has gone up.
Babo	You're no better than the others. What do you want?
Me	What have you got?
Babo	I can give you 121 gold coins, that's all I have.
Me	That won't be enough.
Babo	But I don't have any more money. If I had know that before, I never would have entered the monastery.
Me	Agreed.
Babo	Here is the money and the spell scroll.
Me	Here they are.
Babo	Yeah, they're complete.
Babo	Did you look at them?
Me	Does that make a difference?
Babo	No, just as long as I have them back.
Babo	Now I hope I can rest easy again.
Me	Are you satisfied with your task?
Babo	(less than convincing) Yes, of course. My faith in the wisdom and power of Innos gives me strength.
Babo	(wriggling out) I don't mean to seem disrespectful, but I have a lot to do today.
Me	You may carry on.
Babo	(relieved) Thanks.
Babo	It's all right, but I need to get back to work, otherwise I'll never get finished today.
Babo	I don't want to work half the night again, in order to finish my obligation and stay out of trouble.
