Hanna

HeroTextAudio
HannaAh, a customer - what can I do for you?
MeI'm looking for a room.
HannaYou're in the right place, then.
MeOne of the paladins told me that I could spend the night here for free ...
MeWhat does it cost to spend the night?
HannaAbsolutely nothing.
HannaThe paladins are responsible for the lodging of all travelers.
MeSo can I stay the night here for free?
HannaYes, yes.
HannaJust go up the stairs.
HannaWe still have one or two beds free.
MeWhy do the paladins pay for everything?
HannaI don't know what that's all about either.
HannaFor one thing, I think they want to get all the poor suckers off the streets so they don't make any mischief.
HannaAnd for another, they want to get on the good side of the traveling traders.
HannaNow that the farmers are rebelling, we have to rely on the traders for provisions.
HannaBesides, I think they want to improve the morale in the city a bit.
HannaLord Andre has even arranged for free beer to be given out at the gallows square.
MeWho's staying here at the moment?
HannaAlmost all of them are traveling traders from the market.
MeAha.
HannaDon't even think of messing with their stuff! I don't want any trouble here!
MeI have a few questions about the city ...
MeWhere can I buy something around here?
HannaThe market is directly in front of the door. You should be able to find everything there.
HannaThere are a few more shops and craftsmen on the other side of town. Most of them are near the other city gate.
HannaAlso, there's a fishmonger in the harbor district. His shop is directly at the harbor. He's easy to find.
MeTell me about the town.
HannaKhorinis is one of the wealthiest cities within the kingdom, even if it doesn't look like it at the moment.
HannaBut since the orc war started, trade has almost come to a complete standstill. The king has requisitioned the entire merchant fleet for military service,
Hannawhich means that hardly any ships come into the harbor now. So, the supply of goods is very scarce now, and many citizens of the town are very worried.
HannaNobody really knows what the future will bring. There's basically nothing we can do but wait and see what happens. It's not like we can change anything.
MeHow's it going?
HannaYou don't look like you care about other people's worries in the least.
MeNot really.
HannaThat's what I'm saying. Everyone here thinks of no one but himself. So what do you want?
MeThat depends.
HannaThat depends on how much there is to be had, you mean.
HannaI can't use the likes of you around here.
MeYeah, sure.
HannaWhat do you know, the world is full of surprises. I cleared out some of my stuff recently and sold a stack of old maps to Brahim, the cartographer down by the harbor.
HannaUnfortunately, I noticed that I'm missing a document.
HannaI assume it must have slipped in among the papers.
HannaCould you perhaps get it back for me?
MeI'm not an errand boy.
HannaI see - the problems of a common woman are too profane for you. Then I guess I'll have to take care to it myself.
MeWhat's in it for me?
HannaA-ha, I knew it - you're really no better than the rabble down at the harbor.
HannaSo what is it you're asking of a poor woman?
MeNever mind.
HannaAt least you have a shred of decency left. If you get the document back for me, I'll give you 75 gold pieces.
MeYou could be a little nice to me.
HannaBut that's outrageous. I ... get out of here! You boorish lout!
MeGold.
HannaFilthy lucre is more than I can offer you. Oh well - it'll be worth 50 gold pieces to me.
HannaIf you manage to get the document back, I'll give you 50 gold pieces.
MeI'll see what I can do.
HannaYou're so sweet. I wish you much luck!
HannaIf you bring the paper back to me, I'll give you a reward.
MeDid you mean this document?
HannaYes, that's exactly it. Thank you.
MeWhat's my reward?
HannaNot so fast. Here's your money.
HannaWhere ... do you come from?
MeI found something interesting in your cellar ...
HannaWhat were you doing in my cellar?!
MeYou know damn well!
Hanna(coldly) I don't know what you're talking about ...
Hanna(distrustful) Look at you! Where do you come from? Hm?
Me(embarrassed) I...
Hanna(laughs) I know!
Hanna(conspiratorially) You don't have to tell me. I know everything.
HannaJust don't even think of stealing anything here, got it?
HannaWe can't afford drawing attention to the hotel.
MeLook what book I have here!
HannaLehmar's ledger. How did you get hold of that?
MeWell...
HannaIf Lehmar doesn't have it any more, that's a good thing. But I'd rather have it myself ...
MeHere - take the book.
HannaThanks.
HannaTake this as a reward.
MeWhat is this you've you given me?
HannaIt is a key to the gate of wealth.
MeEverything all right in the hideout?
HannaI haven't seen any of them in quite a while.
HannaI should go down there when I get the chance and check up on things.
HannaYes. But you'd better not talk about it ...
MeDid you know about the thieves' hideout?
Hanna(smirks) I don't know what you're talking about ...
HannaThe militia was here ... Somebody betrayed the hideout!
HannaThey couldn't pin anything on me, but Cassia and her people are dead!
HannaI'm sure it was YOU...
HannaI bought this here especially for you.
HannaIt cost me a lot of money. But you're worth it, you swine ...
