Hakon

HakonBeat it, convict! Canthar told me what a nasty bastard you are!
HakonI am Hakon, the weapons dealer.
HakonEvery man should carry a weapon these days. Especially when venturing outside of the city walls.
MeShow me your wares.
HakonIt is an honor to me that a representative of our holy church should show an interest in my wares.
MeWhat do you know about the disappearances of the citizens of Khorinis?
HakonI have seen many pass through the eastern city gate.
HakonSome of those who came I had never seen before in my life, and many of those who went out never came back.
HakonBut what happened the other day was really quite strange.
HakonThere was this fellow who came here - I think his name is Joe. He bragged that he would soon come into some serious money.
HakonHe claimed that he knew how to get into one of the city towers where the militia keep their arms.
HakonI haven't seen him since, even though I used to bump into him around the same time every day.
HakonI reported this to the militia. I thought that maybe he'd been caught and throughn into the dungeon.
HakonBut Lord Andre had no idea what I was talking about. He didn't even know the fellow.
MeTell me more about the area around the city.
HakonIt's gotten bloody dangerous out there.
HakonBecause of the bandits, for one thing, and also on account of wild beasts.
HakonEven the animals don't seem to get enough to eat in these crappy times.
HakonThey're venturing closer to the city all the time.
MeDo you know anything about the paladins?
HakonYes! Those guys are ruining my business!
HakonAll you can buy in this entire town is a short sword, at most.
HakonThey'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!
MeWhere do you get your weapons from?
HakonNowhere! Harad has been my supplier up to now.
HakonHarad the smith has been my supplier up to now.
HakonNow all he does is make stuff for the paladins.
HakonHe works for those guys day and night like a madman, without pay. He thinks it's his duty.
HakonAll I can offer you now is my remaining stock ...
MeHarad told me about the attack by bandits ...
HakonOh? And?
MeHe'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.
MeWhat do you know about the bandits?
HakonWhat do I know about them? They robbed me on my way to the city!
HakonAnd I'm not the only one. They've been up to their tricks for quite a while.
HakonThe militia tried to track them down, but without any success.
MeI'll deal with it ...
HakonWhat, YOU want to take on the bandits? By yourself? You're quite a good fighter, huh?
MeHow much is the matter worth to you?
Hakon(slyly) You want to get in Harad's good books, don't you?
HakonI don't think I should have to pay you for this ...
HakonThat's a dangerous business.
HakonWell, it's all right with me. I'll pay you 100 gold pieces if you defeat the bandits.
MeDo you know who of the militia took part in the search?
HakonThe fellow's name is Pablo. He and a few others went looking for the bandits. But they didn't find them.
MeDo you know where I can find Pablo?
HakonHe patrols around the city. You'll find him either at the temple square or in the lower part of town.
MeWhere did they hold you up?
HakonNear Akil's farm. Just go out the city gate from here and follow the road to the right.
HakonAfter 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.
MeI took care of the bandits.
HakonReally? 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.
HakonYou have done the merchants and the city a great service.
HakonHarad will be content - I think.
HakonHere is the money you were promised.
MeWhere did you get those mining shares you're selling?
HakonSorry, but I can't tell you. It's too dangerous for me.
HakonThere you are again!
HakonHarad has finally finished that damn assignment for the paladins.
HakonThat means that I can now offer you some new weapons. Are you interested?
