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