Garond

HeroTextAudio
GarondWe're not going to discuss anything before you have paid your penalty.
GarondAnd that has gone up following the most recent accusations.
GarondYou seem to have gotten into even more trouble.
GarondBut I hope you're going to pay for everything now! All in all, this comes to ...
GarondI am very disappointed in you. Your penalty amounts to ...
GarondA few new things have come up.
GarondSuddenly, you are no longer accused of murder.
GarondNo one remembers watching you commit a theft.
GarondThere are no longer any witnesses claiming you have been involved in a brawl or two.
GarondIt looks like all charges against you have been dropped.
GarondI have no idea what went on there, but I'm warning you: don't go too far!
GarondI have decided to waive your debts.
GarondAnd don't get into trouble in the castle ever again!
GarondI want one thing to be clear: you're going to have to pay the full amount of your penalty anyway.
GarondSo, what about it?
MeHow much was that again?
GarondSo you're the one who made trouble here in the castle.
GarondI've been asking myself how long it would take until you came to me.
GarondMurder is just about the last thing I need here.
GarondI need every single one of my people - and now I'm left with one less again!
GarondTo say nothing of the other messes you've gotten yourself into.
GarondLet me explain something to you. We're all together in the same trap here.
GarondAnd I desperately need every single one of my men. Including you.
GarondIf you feel like killing somebody, all you need to do is leave the castle. There's plenty of orcs out there.
GarondI'm going to impose a penalty on you - although I really resent having to deal with crap like this.
GarondRumor has it that you've been filching stuff around here.
GarondNot to mention all those other things I was told.
GarondYou're not going to get away with that. You don't seem to grasp the seriousness of the situation.
GarondYou shall be made to pay a penalty to compensate for your crimes!
GarondI don't like to see brawls among my men.
GarondAnd that sheep thing wasn't really necessary either.
GarondSo you are going to pay your penalty for that!
GarondYou're running around killing our sheep? They belong to us all.
GarondYou shall pay me for the meat.
MeHow much?
MeI want to pay the penalty!
GarondAll right, I'll tell the lads to calm down then. But don't let me catch you at this sort of crap ever again!
MeI don't have enough gold!
GarondThen you should come up with the gold as soon as you can.
GarondAnd I'm warning you: cause any more trouble in the future, and the price will go up!
GarondWhere do you come from? You aren't one of the scrapers, and you aren't one of my people. Well?
MeI've come across the pass.
GarondOver the pass ...? You actually got through - by Innos!
GarondWhy have you taken this path upon yourself, magician?
GarondWhat are your orders, soldier?
GarondI have to ask myself why a mercenary would take all that on himself. What are you doing here?
MeI come from Lord Hagen. He wants me to bring him proof of the presence of the dragons.
GarondAnd you've come here just to fetch it and then disappear again?
MeThat's what I had in mind.
GarondSo he wants proof? He can have it. But I can't send you back to Lord Hagen without giving him information about the ore.
GarondListen - Lord Hagen absolutely must learn what the situation is here and how much ore we've mined up to now.
MeAll right, what do you want me to do for you?
GarondI've got three troops of scrapers out there, but they haven't sent me a single nugget.
GarondVisit the mining sites and report back to me how much ore they have stored.
GarondThen I'll write you a letter that you are going to take back to Lord Hagen.
MeOf well - I guess I have no choice.
MeBut why me, of all people?
GarondBecause you know a way to get through the lines of orcs. My boys would be hopelessly lost out there.
GarondYou, on the other hand, have managed to get through once already - that makes you the best man for this job.
MeI need some equipment.
GarondTalk to the magician Milten here in the castle. He knows about the things you'll need.
GarondTalk to Tandor about that. He'll get you everything you need.
MeHow much will you pay me for the job?
Garond(irritated) I am not used to haggling with mercenaries.
GarondOh well, I guess I have no choice. I'll pay you 500 gold pieces if you take care of this mission for me.
MeWhere can I find the mining sites?
GarondHere, take this map. It shows the two areas where the mining sites are located.
GarondIf you have any more questions, ask Parcival. He can tell you all you need to know about the scrapers.
GarondDamn! What's going on out there? Has Beliar himself come to wipe us out?
GarondMy men are almost all dead and with the bit of ore we have, we CAN'T EVEN STOP ONE ORC LET ALONE AN ARMY!
GarondThis expedition is doomed to failure.
MeI talked to Fajeth.
GarondWhat has he got to tell me?
MeHis people have mined two chests of ore.
GarondHmm ... two chests? I don't need two chests - I need TWO HUNDRED.
MeHe wants me to tell you that he needs more men.
GarondWhat? I'm supposed to send even more men to certain death? He can forget it.
MeAbout Silvestro's mining site ...
GarondDid you go see him? Did you talk to him?
MeEveryone's dead there. They were surprised by minecrawlers.
GarondWhat about the ore? Do you know how much they have mined?
MeThey managed to secure a few chests first. They're in a cave - along the path from the castle to the mining site.
GarondDamn! Those were a lot of good men - may Innos have mercy on their souls.
MeI have met Marcos.
GarondAnd? What does he have to report? How much ore does he have for us?
MeFour chests. He has left the mining site to take the ore to safety.
MeNow he is guarding the chests in a small valley behind the lines of orcs. He's asking for reinforcements, however.
GarondWhat? Only four chests - and he left his mining site? Damn, that isn't good.
GarondAnd now he wants more men ...? Well, fine, I'll send him two people.
MeWhat about the letter for Lord Hagen?
GarondWe have ten crates of ore on the whole - and we've lost twice as many good men.
GarondYou shall have your letter. Lord Hagen MUST hear of this. This valley is cursed - evil abides here.
MeWhat about my pay?
GarondOh yes, right. I still owe you some gold. Here's your reward.
MeHow's the situation?
GarondNow I'm only waiting for news about the last mining site - and I hope it's good news.
GarondI need the reports about the other two mining sites. Then we shall see.
GarondYou should set out to find the mining sites. I'm desperate for news about the status of the ore production.
MeI want you to let Gorn go.
GarondI can't let him go. He has committed many crimes and they must be atoned for.
MeCan I pay his penalty?
GarondThat might be a possibility - but certainly not a cheap one. I want 1000 gold pieces for Gorn.
MeThat's a lot of gold.
GarondGorn also has much to answer for. Bring me the gold and I'll set Gorn free.
MeI want to buy Gorn free.
GarondAgreed. You can go to Gerold and tell him to release Gorn on my orders.
GarondThen bring me the 1000 gold pieces.
MeWhat are you planning to do now?
GarondI've tried everything. You're my only hope now - and that Lord Hagen will send me reinforcements.
GarondWe'll continue to stand firm and pray to Innos that he won't leave us despondent in this dark hour.
MeWhat's new?
GarondDamnit. What are you mucking about here for? I need those bloody reinforcements!
GarondEven Milten has left the castle. But I don't need fewer people - I need more!
MeI'm back.
GarondI can see that for myself. Where are the reinforcements?
MeLord Hagen will come as soon as he has settled everything. Much has happened.
GarondI don't care. I need troops. There are more and more orcs and we can't hold out much longer.
GarondMy men are tired, and we're running out of provisions.
MeSome volunteers have arrived.
GarondYou mean yourself and your fellow dragon hunters, huh? You can help us, but there just aren't enough of you.
GarondYou mean the dragon hunters outside in the yard? They may help us, but there just aren't enough of them.
GarondIf Hagen doesn't send some men soon, I can't make any guarantees.
MeI've got news about the dragons.
GarondReport.
MeI killed the dragon in the swamp to the east of here.
MeThe dragon in the rock fortress to the south is dead.
MeThe fire dragon on the volcano to the south will wreak no more havoc.
MeI went to the western ice region and did away with the dragon there.
GarondThat's good news. Here. I'll give you some money towards your equipment.
MeCan you give me more information about the dragons?
GarondI have other things to worry about. My strategic officer Oric can tell you more about that.
MeHave there been any more dragon attacks in the meantime?
GarondLuckily not. For the moment they're holding off.
MeAll the dragons are dead.
Garond(in disbelief) All of them? So evil has been vanquished forever?
MeNo, alas not. Their leader still remains.
GarondWeren't the dragons the leaders of the orcs?
MeYes, true, but they also have their own master. We must get rid of him as well.
GarondI damn well can't go. I have to guard the ore, and the cursed orcs are still about, too.
GarondYou'll have to take care of it yourself. I can't help you.
GarondMay Innos protect you.
MeThere is a problem with the smith.
GarondWhat smith? He's disappeared into the woodwork.
GarondIs he back? Then you can tell him...
MeNo, I'm talking about Jan.
MeHe is a dragon hunter, just like me, and a good blacksmith.
MeOne of the dragon hunters. He's a smith.
GarondThat's good. Our previous smith just slinked off, the coward.
MeJan would be willing to take over the smithy.
GarondI see. So you think I can trust him.
MeYes.
GarondIf you're so sure, then you can vouch for him.
GarondIf he causes any trouble, you'll answer for it. Agreed?
MeI'll think about it.
GarondHow can I trust him, if even you won't?
GarondWithout someone to stand for him, this Jan can keep his hands off the forge.
MeI'll vouch for Jan.
GarondAll right. He can use the smithy. Of course, he'll also have to provide my men with swords.
MeHow's the situation?
GarondWhat a damned mess! Some bastard left the main gate open. Now we're nothing more than fodder for the wolves.
GarondWhen I get my hands on the traitor...
GarondWe'll all die like flies here if Hagen doesn't come soon.
