Hakon | Beat it, convict! Canthar told me what a nasty bastard you are! | |
Hakon | I am Hakon, the weapons dealer. | |
Hakon | Every man should carry a weapon these days. Especially when venturing outside of the city walls. | |
Me | Show me your wares. | |
Hakon | It is an honor to me that a representative of our holy church should show an interest in my wares. | |
Me | What do you know about the disappearances of the citizens of Khorinis? | |
Hakon | I have seen many pass through the eastern city gate. | |
Hakon | Some of those who came I had never seen before in my life, and many of those who went out never came back. | |
Hakon | But what happened the other day was really quite strange. | |
Hakon | There was this fellow who came here - I think his name is Joe. He bragged that he would soon come into some serious money. | |
Hakon | He claimed that he knew how to get into one of the city towers where the militia keep their arms. | |
Hakon | I haven't seen him since, even though I used to bump into him around the same time every day. | |
Hakon | I reported this to the militia. I thought that maybe he'd been caught and throughn into the dungeon. | |
Hakon | But Lord Andre had no idea what I was talking about. He didn't even know the fellow. | |
Me | Tell me more about the area around the city. | |
Hakon | It's gotten bloody dangerous out there. | |
Hakon | Because of the bandits, for one thing, and also on account of wild beasts. | |
Hakon | Even the animals don't seem to get enough to eat in these crappy times. | |
Hakon | They're venturing closer to the city all the time. | |
Me | Do you know anything about the paladins? | |
Hakon | Yes! Those guys are ruining my business! | |
Hakon | All you can buy in this entire town is a short sword, at most. | |
Hakon | They've helped themselves to anything that's longer than a foot and a half. | |
Hakon | (sarcastically) In return, I now get to live in the hotel free of charge - ha! | |
Me | Where do you get your weapons from? | |
Hakon | Nowhere! Harad has been my supplier up to now. | |
Hakon | Harad the smith has been my supplier up to now. | |
Hakon | Now all he does is make stuff for the paladins. | |
Hakon | He works for those guys day and night like a madman, without pay. He thinks it's his duty. | |
Hakon | All I can offer you now is my remaining stock ... | |
Me | Harad told me about the attack by bandits ... | |
Hakon | Oh? And? | |
Me | He'll give me his approval to be accepted as an apprentice if I hunt down the bandits. | |
Hakon | (laughs) Good old Harad. That must be his way of saying he's sorry that he can't produce any weapons for me at the moment. | |
Me | What do you know about the bandits? | |
Hakon | What do I know about them? They robbed me on my way to the city! | |
Hakon | And I'm not the only one. They've been up to their tricks for quite a while. | |
Hakon | The militia tried to track them down, but without any success. | |
Me | I'll deal with it ... | |
Hakon | What, YOU want to take on the bandits? By yourself? You're quite a good fighter, huh? | |
Me | How much is the matter worth to you? | |
Hakon | (slyly) You want to get in Harad's good books, don't you? | |
Hakon | I don't think I should have to pay you for this ... | |
Hakon | That's a dangerous business. | |
Hakon | Well, it's all right with me. I'll pay you 100 gold pieces if you defeat the bandits. | |
Me | Do you know who of the militia took part in the search? | |
Hakon | The fellow's name is Pablo. He and a few others went looking for the bandits. But they didn't find them. | |
Me | Do you know where I can find Pablo? | |
Hakon | He patrols around the city. You'll find him either at the temple square or in the lower part of town. | |
Me | Where did they hold you up? | |
Hakon | Near Akil's farm. Just go out the city gate from here and follow the road to the right. | |
Hakon | After a while, you'll get to a few steps. The bastards came from there. I bet they have their hideout back there in the woods. | |
Me | I took care of the bandits. | |
Hakon | Really? Anyone could say that. Do you have proof? | |
Me | (sighs) Should I go back and cut off their heads? | |
Hakon | (hastily) No - I don't think that will be necessary. I believe you. | |
Hakon | You have done the merchants and the city a great service. | |
Hakon | Harad will be content - I think. | |
Hakon | Here is the money you were promised. | |
Me | Where did you get those mining shares you're selling? | |
Hakon | Sorry, but I can't tell you. It's too dangerous for me. | |
Hakon | There you are again! | |
Hakon | Harad has finally finished that damn assignment for the paladins. | |
Hakon | That means that I can now offer you some new weapons. Are you interested? | |
