Me	You're a fisherman?
Farim	(cynically) Now how did you ever guess that?
Farim	Can't you simply leave me alone?
Farim	Don't take it personally, but I haven't been too happy with the militia lately.
Farim	Don't take it personally, but I haven't been too happy lately. It's that militia.
Me	Trouble with the militia?
Farim	Those bastards keep coming here and taking whatever they want.
Farim	Last week they made off with my entire catch. 'It's for a good cause,' they said.
Farim	I know that everybody's got to fend for himself since the farmers have stopped trading.
Farim	And, of course, sometimes people just go hungry. Small wonder that they're snatching the fish from right under my nose.
Farim	But if they keep doing this, I won't even have enough to feed myself.
Me	Have you talked to the paladins about this?
Farim	(laughs) Are you joking? Do you really think they'd be interested if a poor devil like me has his problems with the militia?
Me	Give me all your fish.
Farim	(angrily) I just KNEW it. Another of those scumbags.
Farim	You're too late, I'm afraid. Your friends were here yesterday, and they took everything.
Farim	Well. I guess you had better leave now.
Me	Maybe I can help you.
Farim	I don't know. I suppose you'd have to know somebody from the militia who has connections to the paladins.
Farim	The paladins will hardly buy the fish from me.
Me	I shall see what I can do.
Me	I know how to resolve your trouble with the militia.
Farim	And how would that be?
Me	I'm not here often enough to keep a constant vigil on your fish.
Me	But I know somebody who can do just that.
Me	Martin, the provisions master of the paladins, wants to hear your story about the militia and the fish.
Farim	And you think he can make the militia leave me alone?
Me	At least that's what he said.
Farim	Great. Thank you. I cannot give you much. But wait ...
Farim	I found this strange blue stone on one of the islands off the coast of Khorinis.
Farim	I don't think it's worth a whole lot, but someone like you will certainly find a use for it.
Me	Can you tell me something about the missing people?
Farim	My friend William started hanging out with a bunch of shady characters. And where did it get him?
Farim	One day he simply didn't show up for work, and that's the last we saw of him.
Me	Your buddy William has disappeared?
Farim	So he has. He's a fisherman, but a little too big for his boots, I should add.
Farim	He should have stayed well away from that bunch.
Me	What's he been up to?
Farim	William had some shady dealings with those crooks.
Farim	I think it was all about contraband that he sold to the bastards.
Me	What bastards would those be?
Farim	I don't know who they are or what their business is here in Khorinis.
Farim	I only know the place where they met up with William.
Farim	I just happened to see William there when I was fishing in the bay.
Me	Where exactly is that meeting place?
Farim	There's a bay opposite the harbor, north of here.
Farim	You can only reach it by boat, or swim.
Farim	There's a beach there, and a small fishing camp. That's where I saw them.
Me	When did you last see him?
Farim	Only a few days ago.
Me	Maybe he just went out to sea to fish?
Farim	That's not very likely. His boat is still moored in the harbor.
Me	He'll surface again.
Farim	I don't think so. He's been gone for too long already.
Farim	I'm afraid that I'll be dragging his body from the sea at some point.
Me	I think I've heard enough.
Farim	Spare yourself the effort. I don't believe you'll find him.
Me	So, how are the fish biting?
Farim	Stop pretending you're interested.
Farim	I've seen better times. Too little to live on, too much to die.
Farim	There you are again!
Farim	Have you heard news of my buddy William, then?
Me	He's dead.
Farim	(sighs) Yeah, that's what I'd been expecting.
Farim	Thanks for coming back here to tell me.
Farim	I'll go down to the pub and drink up his share of our last catch - that's what he would have wanted ...
