Gerold

HeroTextAudio
MeWhat are you guarding?
GeroldThe prisoners.
MeAnd who is that?
GeroldA few convicts and the mercenary Gorn. A tough guy - strong as an ox.
GeroldIt took four men to bring him into custody.
MeCan you let me into the dungeon?
GeroldNo. NO ONE may enter the dungeon. That goes for EVERYONE. For you, for Milten and for everybody else.
GeroldThis isn't some tavern where you can go in and out as you please. Remember that.
MeCan't you make an exception for me?
GeroldNo.
MeAnd what if I pay you gold?
Gerold... hm ...
GeroldNo.
MeI have a note here for one of the prisoners. Can you pass it on?
GeroldHm ... in principle, I don't see why not. Who's this message for then?
MeFor Gorn.
GeroldA very important prisoner. I don't think Garond would agree to that. But if it's important to you, we can certainly come to an agreement.
MeWhat do you want?
GeroldOur food rations are being reduced steadily. I want something decent to eat for a change.
GeroldGet me a tasty sausage and a fresh loaf of bread - and some sweet honey.
GeroldAnd a bottle of wine to go with it ... Yeah, that should do. You should be able to manage that. So, come back when you have the stuff.
MeI've got something for you. The food you wanted.
GeroldGood, give me the grub. Do you have the message?
MeYes, here. Remember, it's for Gorn.
GeroldCome back tomorrow, he'll have received the message by then.
GeroldCome back when you have the stuff I want.
MeDid Gorn receive the message?
GeroldYeah, I'm supposed to tell you from him:
MeAnd?
GeroldIt's at the south gate.
MeDid he say anything else?
GeroldNo. No idea what that's supposed to mean. Do you know what it means?
MePerhaps. But you shouldn't think about it too much.
GeroldYes, that may be better.
GeroldNo, not yet. Come back later.
MeSet Gorn free. That's an order from Commander Garond.
GeroldI've already been informed. Here's the key, you can go in.
MeDon't you ever sleep?
GeroldNo. Innos himself grants me the strength never to need sleep.
MeAll quiet?
GeroldQuiet, yes.
MeBut?
GeroldMy navel's rubbing against my backbone, man. Garond cut the food rations again.
GeroldIf I don't get a decent meal down my throat, then I'm going to bite Garond's fat ass.
MeMaybe I could give you something.
GeroldAre you crazy? Certainly not here. If one of the others sees, I'll have a ton of new friends, if you know what I mean.
GeroldYou can find me in the magician's temple when everyone else has retired.
GeroldQuick, follow me to the magician's temple before the others come out of their holes. I don't want to wait until tomorrow.
GeroldThere's hardly anyone in the temple at this time anyway. I'll wait for you there.
GeroldBut just don't show up with dry bread or some raw hunk of meat, got it?
MeNot my problem.
GeroldYou can talk. Garond certainly won't cut your rations.
GeroldEven if he won't admit it, he's scared shitless and he sees you as his only salvation.
GeroldThat's enough. That's enough. With that I'll be fine for a while.
GeroldHere's my gold. I can't buy anything for it out here in any case, so you might as well have it.
GeroldI'd better go then, before somebody sees us.
GeroldSure. Give it here. Do you have more?
GeroldYeah. More, more!
GeroldThere you are. So, what is it now? Do you have anything to eat for me?
MeI don't have anything right now.
GeroldFirst you make such a big deal out of it and now you want to trick me?
MeThat's all I have.
GeroldAnd I'm supposed to believe that? All right, better than nothing. Here's a bit of gold for it.
GeroldWell. I need to get back to my post.
MeWhat about a juicy hunk of cheese?
MeA piece of sausage?
MeI could give you this ham.
MeA chunk of meat?
MeA good soup would hit the spot, don't you think?
MeStill hungry?
GeroldIf the orcs attack again, not even a full belly will help me.
GeroldThat must be a joke. I'm stuffed. Thanks again.
GeroldYeah. But thanks for your help anyway.
GeroldIt's all right, Master.
GeroldBeat it!
