Girion

HeroTextAudio
GirionI am Girion, master of two-handed combat and paladin of the king. Why are you disturbing me?
MeCan you train me?
GirionYou do well to train in the noblest of all combat styles. As is proper for a warrior of Innos.
GirionI shall instruct you. Report to me when you are ready.
GirionIf you wish to learn something, you must turn to a teacher from outside of our order.
GirionI am a warrior, not a teacher.
MeI am ready to be trained.
GirionNaturally, your education is not finished, but there is nothing more that I can teach you.
GirionIf you wish to improve your talent with the weapon further, you will have to seek out a true swordmaster.
MeWhere can I find such a man?
GirionLord Hagen is a swordmaster. He will certainly instruct you.
GirionFight with honor. Combat is our life - and what is your life without honor?
GirionBe cautious and quick in combat. Surprise your opponent.
GirionNever go into combat unprepared. You can never know if it is your last.
GirionA paladin is always prepared for combat. But he never begins a fight he cannot win.
GirionA paladin fights not only with the sword, but also with his mind.
GirionYou have to know the point up to which you can retreat.
GirionRemember, you fight well if you control your opponent and don't give him a chance to be in control himself.
GirionYou have only lost when you have given up.
GirionHey! Can you tell me what you are doing here?
MeI don't know what you're talking about.
GirionI am talking about what you have worked out with the ship's guards up there. That stinks to high heaven.
GirionEven if you are a magician, I still don't trust you.
MeGet out of my way, or I'll have to kill you.
GirionYou may be able to deceive the ship's guard, but you will find me a tough nut to crack, my little friend.
GirionEven if you are one of us, that does not give you the right to steal the king's property. Die, you damned traitor.
GirionWhen we have finished this business, you will turn the ship back over to me, understood?
MeI need the ship. So I will take it.
GirionYou cannot do that. The ore transport ...
GirionHow dare you, you stinking son of a ...
MeThe ore in the Valley of Mines is not enough to satisfy the king. I was there. There's nothing more to be had there. Hagen's mission is a farce.
MeThe real threat has its roots on an offshore island not far from here. I shall sail there and put an end to it.
MeEither you join me, or I'll have to do away with you. It's your choice.
GirionMmh. It sounds as though I have no choice.
MeCorrect.
GirionWell, all right. I shall join you, but only under one condition.
MeI can live with that.
GirionThen do what you must do. I shall wait here for you.
GirionTraitor!
