| Milten | Look who has returned! Our hero from the barrier! | |
| Milten | Do you remember Gorn, Diego and Lester? | |
| Me | Good to see you, Milten. Are you still here, or here again? | |
| Milten | Again. After the Barrier collapsed I entered the monastery of the Magicians of Fire. | |
| Milten | But once it was clear that the paladins wanted to come here, my experience and knowledge of the place proved to be quite useful. | |
| Milten | So they decided then and there to entrust me with the holy mission of providing magical support to this expedition. | |
| Me | Am I supposed to know them? | |
| Milten | You've been through a lot, huh? | |
| Me | Of course I remember the boys. | |
| Milten | Well, Gorn and Diego didn't get far. They were picked up by the paladins here in the valley. | |
| Milten | Lester has vanished, though - I have no idea where he's hanging around. | |
| Me | I've met Lester - he's with Xardas now. | |
| Milten | One bit of good news, at least. | |
| Milten | Well, I have nothing pleasant to report. | |
| Me | Those names don't ring a bell at all. | |
| Milten | You have forgotten a great deal, haven't you? Well, let's leave the past in peace and devote ourselves to the here and now. | |
| Milten | Even if there isn't anything pleasant to report. | |
| Me | So what is there to report? | |
| Milten | The paladins came here with the intention of getting the magic ore. | |
| Milten | But with the dragon attacks and the orcs - I can't imagine the paladins will march out of here with the ore. | |
| Milten | No, by Innos - I feel the presence of something dark ... something evil, growing here. Something that emanates from this valley. | |
| Milten | We paid a high price for the annihilation of the Sleeper. The destruction of the Barrier has ruined this place as well. | |
| Milten | We can all count ourselves lucky if we survive this. | |
| Me | How much ore have you stored away so far? | |
| Milten | How much ore ... ? Not one chest! We haven't had contact with the scrapers for some time. | |
| Milten | It wouldn't amaze me if they were all long dead. And we are being attacked by dragons and besieged by orcs! | |
| Milten | This expedition is a complete disaster. | |
| Me | Where are Gorn and Diego now? | |
| Milten | Well, Gorn is sitting here in the dungeon - because he resisted arrest. | |
| Milten | They assigned Diego to a troop of scrapers - ask the paladin Parcival, he assembled the groups. | |
| Me | Let's go and free Gorn! | |
| Milten | Well, the problem in this matter is that Gorn is a convicted prisoner. | |
| Milten | But if we're lucky, Garond will agree on a deal, and we can buy his freedom. | |
| Me | Yes, maybe ... | |
| Milten | Keep me in the picture. | |
| Me | Garond wants 1000 gold pieces for Gorn. | |
| Milten | A nice sum. I can chip in 250 gold pieces. | |
| Me | I need more gold to buy Gorn's freedom. | |
| Milten | Getting more gold ... hm. Diego knows a lot about that - but he isn't here. | |
| Milten | Maybe Gorn has some gold hidden somewhere himself - we should find out. | |
| Milten | I'll write him a note - here, try to smuggle it into the dungeon. | |
| Me | Can you give me some equipment? Garond has asked me to go to the mining sites. | |
| Milten | Where am I supposed to get that? The only thing I can give you is a valuable runestone. | |
| Me | I got an answer from Gorn. He says the gold is at the south gate. | |
| Milten | (bitter) Former south gate, you mean to say. The dragon has reduced it to rubble. | |
| Me | How do I get there? | |
| Milten | That is near the orcs' ram. The south gate was to the right of that. | |
| Milten | It won't be easy - so keep your head down and hurry. | |
| Me | I have freed Gorn. | |
| Milten | Good. Then we should think about what happens next. | |
| Me | Can you teach me something? | |
| Milten | I can instruct you in some magic from the second Circle of Magic, or I can help you to increase your magic power. | |
| Milten | If you feel ready to increase your power, then I can instruct you. | |
| Me | Teach me the second Circle of Magic! | |
| Milten | This is normally the privilege of the teachers of our order. | |
| Milten | But I think that, in this case, we can make an exception ... | |
| Milten | I don't know if I quite remember the official words ... | |
| Milten | Enter now the second Circle. Er ... It will show you the way - but your deeds form the path - or something along those lines ... | |
| Milten | I think you understand what this is about ... | |
| Me | I want to learn some new spells. | |
| Milten | You have not yet reached the second Circle of Magic. I can't teach you anything. | |
| Me | I want to increase my magic powers. | |
| Milten | Your magic power is great. Too great for me to be able to help you to increase it. | |
| Me | What is your task here? | |
| Milten | Originally, I was supposed to assay the magic ore. But we haven't seen much of that so far. | |
| Milten | Now I'm concentrating on the study of alchemy. | |
| Me | What are your plans? | |
| Milten | I shall return. I will wait for a while, but now that Gorn is free, I can take off together with him. | |
| Milten | It is more than necessary that Pyrokar learns of the situation here. | |
| Me | If you think so. | |
| Milten | I hope that Lord Hagen will recognize the threat that emanates from this valley. Not to think of what will happen if the orcs come over the pass. | |
| Me | Well, then, have a safe trip. | |
