| Me | So, still got all your teeth? | |
| BRUTUS | Man, you're a tough one! I wouldn't want to face you in battle. | |
| Me | I think you broke every single one of my ribs. | |
| BRUTUS | And I didn't even hit you all that hard. Oh well, never mind, I like a guy who can take a few blows in stride. | |
| BRUTUS | This here potion will help you get back on your feet. It also works wonders for your bowels! | |
| BRUTUS | I have nothing against a good fight. But when I start a fight, I end it, too. | |
| Me | What's your task here? | |
| BRUTUS | My job? I'm training the lads. I teach them how to get muscles of steel. | |
| BRUTUS | I also take care of the prisoners. I'm like a damn father to those bastards. | |
| BRUTUS | But my real art is to get them to talk. And believe me - I have ways to make anyone talk. | |
| Me | Sounds awfully nice ... | |
| BRUTUS | But those flea-infested blockheads we have currently locked up don't have much to say anyway. | |
| BRUTUS | And they won't let me deal with that Gorn. | |
| Me | Anything new? | |
| BRUTUS | Everything seems quiet. No new prisoners - nobody who needs help finding the right words - too bad. | |
| Me | Could you train me? | |
| BRUTUS | Sure I can help you become stronger, but I don't give away anything for free. | |
| Me | How much do you want? | |
| BRUTUS | Hmm ... you run around outside of the castle, don't you? Here's what I suggest. | |
| BRUTUS | My assistant, Den, made himself scarce during the last attack. What a quitter. | |
| BRUTUS | But he didn't run for it empty-handed. He took the contents of our cash-box with him. | |
| Me | What cash-box? | |
| BRUTUS | We have this chest where we keep the stuff that we have ... er ... collected over the course of time. | |
| BRUTUS | And that was a tidy sum. The chest contained 200 gold pieces, along with some precious jewelry. | |
| BRUTUS | If you bring me back the gold, you can keep the jewels, and I'll train you. | |
| Me | Do you know where Den was headed? | |
| BRUTUS | As far away from here as possible. I guess he may have tried to get through to the pass. | |
| Me | Thanks, that's very helpful. | |
| BRUTUS | Well, what can I say? I have no idea where he went. | |
| Me | I've got something for you. | |
| BRUTUS | Excellent. I can train you if you like. | |
| BRUTUS | Listen, just bring me 200 gold pieces. I don't care where you get them - just as long as it's gold. | |
| Me | I want to become stronger. | |
| Me | Tortured anyone today? | |
| BRUTUS | Can't you see I'm busy? Come back later. | |
| Me | Why aren't you at work? | |
| BRUTUS | (distraught) But that's disgusting! | |
| BRUTUS | Have you had a look in my chamber? Those filthy meatbugs are everywhere. | |
| BRUTUS | I have no idea who set up quarters in there before, but I'm certainly not going back into that filthy sty. | |
| BRUTUS | I hate those beasts. And stop grinning like an idiot. | |
| Me | The meatbugs are gone. You can go back to polishing your thumbscrews, or whatever. | |
| BRUTUS | Are you really sure that not one of those monsters is left? | |
| Me | Pretty sure. | |
| BRUTUS | All right, then. Here, take this gold as a token of my gratitude. | |
| Me | Aw, don't make me cry. | |
| Me | Are you all right? | |
| BRUTUS | (apprehensively) And you are sure that those meatbugs are gone? | |
| Me | Ahem ... look, there's one right behind you. | |
| BRUTUS | (bellows) What? | |
| Me | You're possessed! | |
| Me | Go to the monastery and have them heal you. | |
| BRUTUS | I'm beyond help. Go away! | |
| Me | Somebody needs to cut those demons out of your head. | |
| BRUTUS | (screams) NO! | |
