Lord Hagen

HeroTextAudio
Lord HagenIt's good that you've come. You can pay your penalty right away.
Lord HagenYou don't take the city laws very seriously, do you?
Lord HagenThe list of your offenses has grown longer.
Lord HagenAnd don't tell me you didn't know that!
Lord HagenYou will pay the maximum penalty.
Lord HagenWell, it appears that the situation has changed.
Lord HagenThere are no more witnesses for your murder!
Lord HagenNo one will testify now that you have stolen!
Lord HagenThere are no more witnesses for your brawling.
Lord HagenAll of the accusations against you are no longer valid.
Lord HagenI don't know what happened there in the city - and I don't want to know.
Lord HagenSimply make sure that you don't get into trouble here.
Lord HagenIn any case, I have decided to excuse your debts.
Lord HagenSee to it that you don't get into any more difficulties.
Lord HagenYou will, nevertheless, pay your fines in full.
Lord HagenSo, do you want to pay?
MeHow much was that again?
Lord HagenYour reputation precedes you. You have violated the laws of the city.
Lord HagenYou have gotten yourself into a fine mess.
Lord HagenMurder is a serious crime!
Lord HagenNot to mention your other offenses.
Lord HagenThe guards have orders to execute every murderer on the spot.
Lord HagenMurder is not acceptable in this city. But you can show your remorse by paying your penalty
Lord HagenYou are accused of theft!
Lord HagenNot to mention the other things I have heard.
Lord HagenThat is a violation of the laws of the city. You will pay a penalty for that.
Lord HagenYou have been involved in a brawl. In doing so, you have violated the law.
Lord HagenAnd what was that thing with the sheep?
Lord HagenA violation of the laws of the city - is a violation of the laws of Innos.
Lord HagenTherefore, you will pay for it.
Lord HagenYou have been after our sheep - I didn't want to believe it at first.
Lord HagenWhy must I busy myself with such trifles?
Lord HagenYou will have to pay compensation!
MeHow much?
MeI want to pay the penalty!
Lord HagenGood! I shall see to it that every one in the city learns of it - this will restore your reputation to some degree.
MeI don't have enough gold!
Lord HagenThen see to it that you acquire the gold as quickly as possible
Lord HagenAnd I'm warning you: if you add to your guilt, things will get worse for you.
Lord HagenI have already heard of you.
Lord HagenLothar has reported that you wish to speak with me.
Lord HagenYou are the stranger who has demanded the Eye of Innos.
Lord HagenI am Lord Hagen.
Lord HagenPaladin of the king, warrior of our Lord Innos and commander-in-chief of Khorinis.
Lord HagenI have much to do. So do not waste my time - tell me, rather, why you are here.
MeI bring an offer of peace from the mercenaries!
Lord Hagen(grumpily) Hm - show me!
Lord HagenI know General Lee. I also know the circumstances under which he was condemned to forced labor in the colony.
Lord HagenI consider him to be an honorable man. I am prepared to grant him absolution - only him!
Lord HagenThat does not apply to his men, however. Most of them are dishonorable cut-throats and have earned their punishment!
Lord HagenI shall certainly not offer them absolution. Report that to him.
Lord HagenWas that all?
MeThe hosts of evil are gathering very close to here. In the Valley of Mines.
Lord HagenIn 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 HagenBut thus far, nothing has come to me of an army of Evil.
Lord HagenIs this merely a trick to make me believe that it is necessary to form an alliance with the mercenaries?
MeNo.
Lord Hagen(skeptical) What army is that supposed to be?
MeAn army of dragons who have gathered hosts of their minions around them.
Lord HagenDragons? According to the old scriptures it is many centuries since dragons were last sighted.
Lord HagenTell me - why should I believe a word you say?
MeBut 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 HagenAs long as I have no proof, I cannot afford to send even more men there.
MeSo you want me to bring you proof?
Lord HagenPrecisely. 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 HagenIf anyone knows the situation there, he will.
Lord HagenIf he confirms your words, then I am prepared to help you.
MeDoes that mean you'll hand over the Eye of Innos to me?
Lord HagenThe Eye of Innos ... good. Bring me proof, then I shall see to it that you are permitted to wear the amulet.
MeThen can I say I've got your word in this matter?
Lord HagenYou can - for you have it.
MeWhat do you know about the Eye of Innos?
Lord HagenIt is a divine artifact. (pensive) In the old prophecies it is mentioned in connection with dragons.
Lord HagenHowever, the scriptures also say that only a Chosen of Innos can wear it.
MeI AM a Chosen of Innos!
Lord HagenThen perhaps it will be possible for you to wear the amulet.
MeHow am I supposed to get across the pass?
Lord HagenI 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 HagenMay Innos protect you.
MeI am looking for a metal ornament. It should have been by the stone circle near Lobart's farm.
Lord HagenIf you mean this thing here ... we suspected that it might be a magical rune, but it turned out to be completely worthless.
Lord HagenYou can have it if you like. I have no use for it.
MeWhy have you come to Khorinis?
Lord HagenWe are on an important mission for the kingdom. Our orders come directly from King Rhobar.
Lord HagenI told you that we have sent an expedition to the Valley of Mines. That is the reason for our presence.
MeWhat are your men doing in the Valley of Mines?
Lord HagenI see no reason to reveal that to you!
Lord HagenYou were there. You should know.
Lord HagenAll right, since you are going there anyway, I might as well tell you.
Lord HagenThis is all about the magic ore. It can decide the outcome of the war.
Lord HagenWithout enough weapons made of magic ore, the king's army does not stand the slightest chance against the elite warriors of the orcs.
Lord HagenAnd the ore mines here on the island are the last to which we still have access.
Lord HagenAs soon as our ship is fully laden with ore, we shall sail back to the mainland.
MeThe war against the orcs is going badly, then?
Lord HagenI have already told you too much.
MeI'm looking for a swordmaster.
Lord HagenSo? You have found one.
MeLet us begin.
Lord HagenYou are now a worthy swordmaster. I can teach you no more.
Lord HagenMay your future deeds be guided by the wisdom of a swordmaster.
MeI want to take up service with the order.
Lord HagenGood, you have proven that you have the courage, the skill and the knowledge to serve Innos.
Lord HagenYour deeds bear witness to a pure heart.
Lord HagenIf it is your wish, then I shall bid you welcome to our order.
Lord HagenTo be a warrior of Innos means to devote yourself entirely to the cause of Innos.
Lord HagenOnly the noblest and bravest warriors are accepted into our order.
Lord HagenIf you are truly determined to become a paladin, you must prove that you are worthy.
MeI'm not quite sure yet.
Lord HagenThen go and free your heart of doubt. Return when you are prepared.
MeI 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?
MeI swear!
Lord HagenThen, from now on, you are a member of our fellowship.
Lord HagenI hereby appoint you a warrior of Innos.
Lord HagenI give to you the weapons and armor of a knight. Bear them with pride, knight!
Lord HagenHenceforth, by virtue of your rank, you shall have access to the monastery.
Lord HagenAlbrecht will teach you our magic, just go and talk to him.
Lord HagenAnd, of course, our quarters in the upper end of the city are now open to you.
MeHow can I prove myself worthy?
Lord HagenYour deeds will show whether you are worthy.
Lord HagenWe fight for freedom and justice in the name of Innos.
Lord HagenWe fight against Beliar and his henchmen, who want to destroy the just order of Innos.
MeI understand.
Lord HagenYou understand nothing at all! Our honor is our life and our life is Innos.
Lord HagenA 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 HagenEvery single one of us has committed himself to this tradition. If we fail, we tarnish the deeds of our fallen comrades.
Lord HagenOnly he who truly understands this is worthy of being a paladin.
MeHow's the situation?
Lord HagenI must find a way to rescue this expedition.
Lord HagenWe must do something against the dragons.
Lord Hagen(to himself) Perhaps the Eye of Innos can save us all now ...
Lord HagenI shall go mad here. I am a soldier, not a bureaucrat.
Lord HagenWith all this paperwork that I must do, I barely remember what my sword feels like in my hand.
MeI have the Eye - it is broken.
Lord HagenWHAT? By Innos! What have you done? We need the Eye!
Lord HagenSpeak to Pyrokar! There must be a way to put it back together.
MeI bring you news from Garond. Here, he gave me these lines for you.
Lord HagenOur situation is worse than I had feared. But report to me on the situation in the Valley of Mines.
MeThe paladins are holed up in the castle in the Valley of mines, surrounded by orcs.
MeThere were many casualties in the prospecting operations, and there's barely any ore left.
MeWell, I should say that, without any help, the lads are lost. That's how it looks.
Lord HagenI shall find a way to rescue this expedition. You have done much for us. Innos will thank you ...
MeI'm not all that interested in his gratitude. I want his eye.
Lord HagenYes, of course. I stand by my word. Take this letter. It will open the monastery gates to you.
Lord HagenSpeak with Pyrokar, the highest Fire Magician, and show him this authorization. He will grant you access to the Eye of Innos.
Lord HagenOne more thing, before you go ...
Lord HagenTake this rune as a token of my gratitude. It will take you safely back to the city whenever you want.
MeI need to talk to you about Bennet.
Lord HagenBut that's the mercenary who murdered one of my men.
MeBennet could help us to repair the Eye of Innos.
Lord HagenEven if he could summon down the power of Innos himself to earth ...
Lord HagenHe has murdered a paladin. He will be executed for that!
MeHow come you're so sure that Bennet is the killer?
Lord HagenWe have a witness.
Lord HagenAs you see, there is no doubt about the mercenary's guilt.
MeWho is that witness?
Lord HagenCornelius, the governor's secretary, saw the murder.
Lord HagenHis description fits Bennet, no doubt about that. As far as I am concerned, that settles the matter.
Lord HagenThe mercenary will hang for treason.
MeI believe that Bennet is innocent.
Lord HagenThe evidence is clear. He is guilty.
MeSo what if the proof is wrong?
Lord HagenBe careful what you say. You raise some serious accusations.
Lord HagenIf you cannot present me with evidence that the witness lied, then you had best hold your tongue.
MeCornelius lied.
Lord HagenHow do you know that?
MeHere, I've got his diary. Everything's in there.
Lord Hagen(furious) That slimy little criminal!
Lord HagenIn view of the new evidence, there is nothing else I can do.
Lord HagenBy 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 HagenCornelius is to be taken into immediate custody for perjury.
MeSave yourself the trouble. Cornelius is dead.
Lord HagenThen he has already received his just punishment. Well done.
MeHe's made himself scarce.
Lord HagenSooner or later, he will turn up. Then we shall arrest him.
Lord HagenYour deeds would redound to the honor of one of our own.
MeI carry the Eye!
Lord Hagen(reverently) You bear the Eye!
Lord HagenAnd you have put it back together!
Lord HagenThen you are a Chosen of Innos!
MeI shall set out and kill all the dragons in the Valley of Mines!
Lord HagenGo with Innos and destroy Evil with his power!
MeThe orcs' elite warriors are attacking the land.
Lord HagenWhat makes you say that?
MeI talked to one of them. Your name was mentioned.
Lord HagenNonsense. My people have not reported a massive invasion of orcs so far.
Lord HagenPerhaps some of their scouts got lost in the nearby woods.
MeThose were no scouts. I took this ring from one of them.
Lord HagenShow me.
Lord HagenMmh. That is certainly disturbing.
Lord HagenThat is a sign of their strength. So the orcs have left their palisades and are fighting on the open field.
MeI haven't seen a whole lot so far. Mainly their warlords, and only a few fighters.
Lord HagenSo? Then they must be plotting something else. That is rather unlike orcs that their leaders should leave their protective palisades by themselves.
Lord HagenIt would be a good opportunity, however, to deliver them a telling blow.
Lord HagenIf they lose their leaders, their morale will sink as well.
Lord HagenYou have a new assignment, knight. Go and kill the orc leaders you can find here in the area.
Lord HagenBring me their rings. That will be a tough blow to the orcs.
Lord HagenAsk Ingmar about this. He can give you a few tactical hints for fighting the orc leaders.
Lord HagenThe orcs' elite warriors are his specialty. He has often had to deal with them.
Lord HagenYour word alone that you have killed the chief warlord of the orcs is not enough for me.
Lord HagenI need more tangible evidence if I am to respond to this.
MeThere's something else I have to report about the orcish warlords.
Lord HagenThen tell me.
MeI can give you another orc ring.
MeI can give you some more orc rings.
Lord HagenI am proud of you. Carry on!
Lord HagenThere may still be a few of them out there.
Lord HagenSoon we shall have forced them to their knees.
Lord HagenI would be amazed if you still found very many of them.
Lord HagenYou are welcome to keep bringing me their rings, but I think the orcs have gotten the message now.
Lord HagenHere. Let me give you some gold towards your equipment.
MeThe dragons are dead.
Lord HagenI knew that Innos would give you the strength to defeat the dragons!
Lord HagenWhere is the ore?
MeThe 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 HagenIf Garond isn't capable of handling the situation, then I shall have to see to it myself.
Lord HagenA few orcs won't stop me! Not me!
Lord HagenI have already informed my men. We are preparing for departure.
Lord HagenWe shall ALL go. I shall leave only a minimal guard on the ship.
Lord HagenThat should be enough then to finally put an end to the orcs!
MeI need a ship.
Lord HagenSo do a lot of people, soldier.
Lord Hagen(laughs) I hear that almost every day, reverend. But ...
Lord HagenYou do not even have a captain, to say nothing of a crew.
MeWhat about the ship in the harbor?
Lord HagenIt belongs to me, and that's that. We shall transport the ore with this ship.
Lord HagenOnce that is done, then you can ask me again.
MeThe orcs have stormed the castle in the Valley of Mines!
Lord HagenBy Innos! What exactly happened there?
MeSomehow the gate must have opened ...
Lord HagenSomehow?! How is that possible... There must have been a traitor in the castle!
MeWhat are you waiting for?
Lord HagenWe are still waiting for our equipment and provisions. Then we set off!
Lord HagenNow that the castle has been stormed, we need even more provisions.
Lord HagenBut that will not delay our departure for long.
