Me	Can I get a drink here?
Coragon	If you have gold, you can even eat here if you like.
Me	Show me your wares.
Me	And, how's business going?
Coragon	Ah, don't remind me. Lord Andre is serving free beer at the gallows square.
Coragon	Hardly anybody comes here now except for the rich people from the upper quarter.
Me	What's wrong with them?
Coragon	(laughs) Some of those swells can really get on your nerves.
Coragon	Take that Valentino, for instance - I can't stand the sight of him.
Coragon	But I can't pick my customers. I need every coin I can make.
Coragon	What little I had managed to save has been stolen, along with all my silver.
Me	Tell me about the missing townspeople.
Coragon	�I heard that a lot of them went missing down by the harbor. Small wonder with all that's going on down there.
Coragon	�Even Thorben, the carpenter in the lower part of town, has lost his apprentice.
Coragon	�Hakon, one of the merchants in the marketplace, had an especially strange tale to tell.
Coragon	�He said that there was this fellow he used to bump into every day, and then suddenly he vanished off the face of the earth. He even went to see the militia about it.
Coragon	�The townspeople all pretty much panicked after that. I don't know what to make of it. I think it's all nonsense.
Coragon	�Khorinis is a rough city, and many dangers lurk outside her gates.
Coragon	Those who don't stay within the city walls will be attacked by bandits or eaten by wild animals. It's that simple.
Me	You've been robbed?
Coragon	Yes, some time ago. It was still rather crowded that night, and I was doing the round serving beer.
Coragon	I wasn't gone long from behind the counter - but it was long enough for those bastards.
Coragon	I went to see the militia about it - but they couldn't find a thing, of course. They prefer to get plastered on free beer.
Coragon	Here - take this as a reward.
Coragon	A very special beer. This is my last keg.
Coragon	It's the very last drop!
Me	I've got your silver.
Coragon	Really!
Me	Look what I have here...
Coragon	Mmm? (surprised) But this is Lehmar's ledger!
Coragon	What are you planning to do with that?
Me	Here is your book.
Coragon	Thanks! You saved my butt. Lehmar can get rather ugly.
Me	What do I have to do to get into the upper quarter?
Coragon	You need to be a citizen of the town. Go find some work.
Coragon	Preferably with the craftsmen in the lower part of town. That would make you a citizen.
Coragon	Well, and if that's still not enough, go talk to Lord Andre at the barracks.
Coragon	Maybe he'll let you join the city guard. They can go into the upper quarter, too.
Me	What is it with this Valentino?
Coragon	He's filthy rich and has no need to work. And he brags about it to everyone.
Coragon	Whether you want to hear it or not.
Coragon	He drinks a lot and always stays until the end - then, early in the morning, he totters back to the upper quarter.
Coragon	It's the same every day.
Coragon	Valentino was unable to pay his bar tab last night.
Coragon	He was blathering something about having being robbed, and paying me later ... Really!
Coragon	And right before that, he had been crowing about how much money he had.
Coragon	Then he put his hand in his pocket and made a funny face. He said he had been robbed ...
Me	And? What did you do?
Coragon	Well, I gave him a good thrashing, what else?
Me	Here - take this ring.
Coragon	What? I don't understand ...
Me	It used to belong to Valentino.
Me	You're welcome to pass it on to the next person who tans his hide ...
