It's good that you've come. You can pay your penalty right away.
Lord Hagen
You don't take the city laws very seriously, do you?
Lord Hagen
The list of your offenses has grown longer.
Lord Hagen
And don't tell me you didn't know that!
Lord Hagen
You will pay the maximum penalty.
Lord Hagen
Well, it appears that the situation has changed.
Lord Hagen
There are no more witnesses for your murder!
Lord Hagen
No one will testify now that you have stolen!
Lord Hagen
There are no more witnesses for your brawling.
Lord Hagen
All of the accusations against you are no longer valid.
Lord Hagen
I don't know what happened there in the city - and I don't want to know.
Lord Hagen
Simply make sure that you don't get into trouble here.
Lord Hagen
In any case, I have decided to excuse your debts.
Lord Hagen
See to it that you don't get into any more difficulties.
Lord Hagen
You will, nevertheless, pay your fines in full.
Lord Hagen
So, do you want to pay?
Me
How much was that again?
Lord Hagen
Your reputation precedes you. You have violated the laws of the city.
Lord Hagen
You have gotten yourself into a fine mess.
Lord Hagen
Murder is a serious crime!
Lord Hagen
Not to mention your other offenses.
Lord Hagen
The guards have orders to execute every murderer on the spot.
Lord Hagen
Murder is not acceptable in this city. But you can show your remorse by paying your penalty
Lord Hagen
You are accused of theft!
Lord Hagen
Not to mention the other things I have heard.
Lord Hagen
That is a violation of the laws of the city. You will pay a penalty for that.
Lord Hagen
You have been involved in a brawl. In doing so, you have violated the law.
Lord Hagen
And what was that thing with the sheep?
Lord Hagen
A violation of the laws of the city - is a violation of the laws of Innos.
Lord Hagen
Therefore, you will pay for it.
Lord Hagen
You have been after our sheep - I didn't want to believe it at first.
Lord Hagen
Why must I busy myself with such trifles?
Lord Hagen
You will have to pay compensation!
Me
How much?
Me
I want to pay the penalty!
Lord Hagen
Good! I shall see to it that every one in the city learns of it - this will restore your reputation to some degree.
Me
I don't have enough gold!
Lord Hagen
Then see to it that you acquire the gold as quickly as possible
Lord Hagen
And I'm warning you: if you add to your guilt, things will get worse for you.
Lord Hagen
I have already heard of you.
Lord Hagen
Lothar has reported that you wish to speak with me.
Lord Hagen
You are the stranger who has demanded the Eye of Innos.
Lord Hagen
I am Lord Hagen.
Lord Hagen
Paladin of the king, warrior of our Lord Innos and commander-in-chief of Khorinis.
Lord Hagen
I have much to do. So do not waste my time - tell me, rather, why you are here.
Me
I bring an offer of peace from the mercenaries!
Lord Hagen
(grumpily) Hm - show me!
Lord Hagen
I know General Lee. I also know the circumstances under which he was condemned to forced labor in the colony.
Lord Hagen
I consider him to be an honorable man. I am prepared to grant him absolution - only him!
Lord Hagen
That does not apply to his men, however. Most of them are dishonorable cut-throats and have earned their punishment!
Lord Hagen
I shall certainly not offer them absolution. Report that to him.
Lord Hagen
Was that all?
Me
The hosts of evil are gathering very close to here. In the Valley of Mines.
Lord Hagen
In the Valley of Mines? We have dispatched an expedition there. We are also aware of reports that say the pass there is occupied by orcs.
Lord Hagen
But thus far, nothing has come to me of an army of Evil.
Lord Hagen
Is this merely a trick to make me believe that it is necessary to form an alliance with the mercenaries?
Me
No.
Lord Hagen
(skeptical) What army is that supposed to be?
Me
An army of dragons who have gathered hosts of their minions around them.
Lord Hagen
Dragons? According to the old scriptures it is many centuries since dragons were last sighted.
Lord Hagen
Tell me - why should I believe a word you say?
Me
But the question isn't whether you can believe me. The question is whether you can afford NOT to believe me when I tell the truth.
Lord Hagen
As long as I have no proof, I cannot afford to send even more men there.
Me
So you want me to bring you proof?
Lord Hagen
Precisely. Cross the pass and go to the Valley of Mines. Once there, seek out the expedition - and when you have found them, speak to Commander Garond.
Lord Hagen
If anyone knows the situation there, he will.
Lord Hagen
If he confirms your words, then I am prepared to help you.
Me
Does that mean you'll hand over the Eye of Innos to me?
Lord Hagen
The Eye of Innos ... good. Bring me proof, then I shall see to it that you are permitted to wear the amulet.
Me
Then can I say I've got your word in this matter?
Lord Hagen
You can - for you have it.
Me
What do you know about the Eye of Innos?
Lord Hagen
It is a divine artifact. (pensive) In the old prophecies it is mentioned in connection with dragons.
Lord Hagen
However, the scriptures also say that only a Chosen of Innos can wear it.
Me
I AM a Chosen of Innos!
Lord Hagen
Then perhaps it will be possible for you to wear the amulet.
Me
How am I supposed to get across the pass?
Lord Hagen
I shall give you the key to the gate to the pass. However, you will have to find your own way through the ranks of the orcs.
Lord Hagen
May Innos protect you.
Me
I am looking for a metal ornament. It should have been by the stone circle near Lobart's farm.
Lord Hagen
If you mean this thing here ... we suspected that it might be a magical rune, but it turned out to be completely worthless.
Lord Hagen
You can have it if you like. I have no use for it.
Me
Why have you come to Khorinis?
Lord Hagen
We are on an important mission for the kingdom. Our orders come directly from King Rhobar.
Lord Hagen
I told you that we have sent an expedition to the Valley of Mines. That is the reason for our presence.
Me
What are your men doing in the Valley of Mines?
Lord Hagen
I see no reason to reveal that to you!
Lord Hagen
You were there. You should know.
Lord Hagen
All right, since you are going there anyway, I might as well tell you.
Lord Hagen
This is all about the magic ore. It can decide the outcome of the war.
Lord Hagen
Without enough weapons made of magic ore, the king's army does not stand the slightest chance against the elite warriors of the orcs.
Lord Hagen
And the ore mines here on the island are the last to which we still have access.
Lord Hagen
As soon as our ship is fully laden with ore, we shall sail back to the mainland.
Me
The war against the orcs is going badly, then?
Lord Hagen
I have already told you too much.
Me
I'm looking for a swordmaster.
Lord Hagen
So? You have found one.
Me
Let us begin.
Lord Hagen
You are now a worthy swordmaster. I can teach you no more.
Lord Hagen
May your future deeds be guided by the wisdom of a swordmaster.
Me
I want to take up service with the order.
Lord Hagen
Good, you have proven that you have the courage, the skill and the knowledge to serve Innos.
Lord Hagen
Your deeds bear witness to a pure heart.
Lord Hagen
If it is your wish, then I shall bid you welcome to our order.
Lord Hagen
To be a warrior of Innos means to devote yourself entirely to the cause of Innos.
Lord Hagen
Only the noblest and bravest warriors are accepted into our order.
Lord Hagen
If you are truly determined to become a paladin, you must prove that you are worthy.
Me
I'm not quite sure yet.
Lord Hagen
Then go and free your heart of doubt. Return when you are prepared.
Me
I am ready!
Lord Hagen
(serious) Then so shall it be!
Lord Hagen
(serious) Many men have taken this path and given their lives in the name of Innos.
Lord Hagen
(serious) Do you swear that your deeds will honor their deaths and proclaim the fame of Innos?
Me
I swear!
Lord Hagen
Then, from now on, you are a member of our fellowship.
Lord Hagen
I hereby appoint you a warrior of Innos.
Lord Hagen
I give to you the weapons and armor of a knight. Bear them with pride, knight!
Lord Hagen
Henceforth, by virtue of your rank, you shall have access to the monastery.
Lord Hagen
Albrecht will teach you our magic, just go and talk to him.
Lord Hagen
And, of course, our quarters in the upper end of the city are now open to you.
Me
How can I prove myself worthy?
Lord Hagen
Your deeds will show whether you are worthy.
Lord Hagen
We fight for freedom and justice in the name of Innos.
Lord Hagen
We fight against Beliar and his henchmen, who want to destroy the just order of Innos.
Me
I understand.
Lord Hagen
You understand nothing at all! Our honor is our life and our life is Innos.
Lord Hagen
A paladin goes to battle praising Innos, and many of us have lost their lives on the altar of the eternal strife between Good and Evil.
Lord Hagen
Every single one of us has committed himself to this tradition. If we fail, we tarnish the deeds of our fallen comrades.
Lord Hagen
Only he who truly understands this is worthy of being a paladin.
Me
How's the situation?
Lord Hagen
I must find a way to rescue this expedition.
Lord Hagen
We must do something against the dragons.
Lord Hagen
(to himself) Perhaps the Eye of Innos can save us all now ...
Lord Hagen
I shall go mad here. I am a soldier, not a bureaucrat.
Lord Hagen
With all this paperwork that I must do, I barely remember what my sword feels like in my hand.
Me
I have the Eye - it is broken.
Lord Hagen
WHAT? By Innos! What have you done? We need the Eye!
Lord Hagen
Speak to Pyrokar! There must be a way to put it back together.
Me
I bring you news from Garond. Here, he gave me these lines for you.
Lord Hagen
Our situation is worse than I had feared. But report to me on the situation in the Valley of Mines.
Me
The paladins are holed up in the castle in the Valley of mines, surrounded by orcs.
Me
There were many casualties in the prospecting operations, and there's barely any ore left.
Me
Well, I should say that, without any help, the lads are lost. That's how it looks.
Lord Hagen
I shall find a way to rescue this expedition. You have done much for us. Innos will thank you ...
Me
I'm not all that interested in his gratitude. I want his eye.
Lord Hagen
Yes, of course. I stand by my word. Take this letter. It will open the monastery gates to you.
Lord Hagen
Speak with Pyrokar, the highest Fire Magician, and show him this authorization. He will grant you access to the Eye of Innos.
Lord Hagen
One more thing, before you go ...
Lord Hagen
Take this rune as a token of my gratitude. It will take you safely back to the city whenever you want.
Me
I need to talk to you about Bennet.
Lord Hagen
But that's the mercenary who murdered one of my men.
Me
Bennet could help us to repair the Eye of Innos.
Lord Hagen
Even if he could summon down the power of Innos himself to earth ...
Lord Hagen
He has murdered a paladin. He will be executed for that!
Me
How come you're so sure that Bennet is the killer?
Lord Hagen
We have a witness.
Lord Hagen
As you see, there is no doubt about the mercenary's guilt.
Me
Who is that witness?
Lord Hagen
Cornelius, the governor's secretary, saw the murder.
Lord Hagen
His description fits Bennet, no doubt about that. As far as I am concerned, that settles the matter.
Lord Hagen
The mercenary will hang for treason.
Me
I believe that Bennet is innocent.
Lord Hagen
The evidence is clear. He is guilty.
Me
So what if the proof is wrong?
Lord Hagen
Be careful what you say. You raise some serious accusations.
Lord Hagen
If you cannot present me with evidence that the witness lied, then you had best hold your tongue.
Me
Cornelius lied.
Lord Hagen
How do you know that?
Me
Here, I've got his diary. Everything's in there.
Lord Hagen
(furious) That slimy little criminal!
Lord Hagen
In view of the new evidence, there is nothing else I can do.
Lord Hagen
By virtue of the office granted me by king and church, I declare ...
Lord Hagen
... that the prisoner Bennet is exonerated of all charges and is thereby a free man.
Lord Hagen
Cornelius is to be taken into immediate custody for perjury.
Me
Save yourself the trouble. Cornelius is dead.
Lord Hagen
Then he has already received his just punishment. Well done.
Me
He's made himself scarce.
Lord Hagen
Sooner or later, he will turn up. Then we shall arrest him.
Lord Hagen
Your deeds would redound to the honor of one of our own.
Me
I carry the Eye!
Lord Hagen
(reverently) You bear the Eye!
Lord Hagen
And you have put it back together!
Lord Hagen
Then you are a Chosen of Innos!
Me
I shall set out and kill all the dragons in the Valley of Mines!
Lord Hagen
Go with Innos and destroy Evil with his power!
Me
The orcs' elite warriors are attacking the land.
Lord Hagen
What makes you say that?
Me
I talked to one of them. Your name was mentioned.
Lord Hagen
Nonsense. My people have not reported a massive invasion of orcs so far.
Lord Hagen
Perhaps some of their scouts got lost in the nearby woods.
Me
Those were no scouts. I took this ring from one of them.
Lord Hagen
Show me.
Lord Hagen
Mmh. That is certainly disturbing.
Lord Hagen
That is a sign of their strength. So the orcs have left their palisades and are fighting on the open field.
Me
I haven't seen a whole lot so far. Mainly their warlords, and only a few fighters.
Lord Hagen
So? Then they must be plotting something else. That is rather unlike orcs that their leaders should leave their protective palisades by themselves.
Lord Hagen
It would be a good opportunity, however, to deliver them a telling blow.
Lord Hagen
If they lose their leaders, their morale will sink as well.
Lord Hagen
You have a new assignment, knight. Go and kill the orc leaders you can find here in the area.
Lord Hagen
Bring me their rings. That will be a tough blow to the orcs.
Lord Hagen
Ask Ingmar about this. He can give you a few tactical hints for fighting the orc leaders.
Lord Hagen
The orcs' elite warriors are his specialty. He has often had to deal with them.
Lord Hagen
Your word alone that you have killed the chief warlord of the orcs is not enough for me.
Lord Hagen
I need more tangible evidence if I am to respond to this.
Me
There's something else I have to report about the orcish warlords.
Lord Hagen
Then tell me.
Me
I can give you another orc ring.
Me
I can give you some more orc rings.
Lord Hagen
I am proud of you. Carry on!
Lord Hagen
There may still be a few of them out there.
Lord Hagen
Soon we shall have forced them to their knees.
Lord Hagen
I would be amazed if you still found very many of them.
Lord Hagen
You are welcome to keep bringing me their rings, but I think the orcs have gotten the message now.
Lord Hagen
Here. Let me give you some gold towards your equipment.
Me
The dragons are dead.
Lord Hagen
I knew that Innos would give you the strength to defeat the dragons!
Lord Hagen
Where is the ore?
Me
The orcs are still besieging the castle in the Valley of Mines. Garond stands no chance of leaving the castle before the siege is ended.
Lord Hagen
(furious) Damnit!
Lord Hagen
If Garond isn't capable of handling the situation, then I shall have to see to it myself.
Lord Hagen
A few orcs won't stop me! Not me!
Lord Hagen
I have already informed my men. We are preparing for departure.
Lord Hagen
We shall ALL go. I shall leave only a minimal guard on the ship.
Lord Hagen
That should be enough then to finally put an end to the orcs!
Me
I need a ship.
Lord Hagen
So do a lot of people, soldier.
Lord Hagen
(laughs) I hear that almost every day, reverend. But ...
Lord Hagen
You do not even have a captain, to say nothing of a crew.
Me
What about the ship in the harbor?
Lord Hagen
It belongs to me, and that's that. We shall transport the ore with this ship.
Lord Hagen
Once that is done, then you can ask me again.
Me
The orcs have stormed the castle in the Valley of Mines!
Lord Hagen
By Innos! What exactly happened there?
Me
Somehow the gate must have opened ...
Lord Hagen
Somehow?! How is that possible... There must have been a traitor in the castle!
Me
What are you waiting for?
Lord Hagen
We are still waiting for our equipment and provisions. Then we set off!
Lord Hagen
Now that the castle has been stormed, we need even more provisions.
