Elvrich | Thank goodness. The bandits are done for. You have saved my life. | |
Me | Who are you? | |
Elvrich | My name is Elvrich. I come from town. | |
Me | Master Thorben told me that you had disappeared. | |
Elvrich | Those lowly scum dragged me off here and were keeping me prisoner. | |
Me | Lots of people are missing in town. | |
Elvrich | I don't know anything about missing people. I can only tell you what happened to ME. | |
Me | What exactly happened to you? | |
Elvrich | I was on my way to the rendezvous I had set up with my girl. | |
Elvrich | Her name is Lucia. We had been planning to get away to the mountains. Away from the town and all those who live there. | |
Elvrich | I had just arrived at the meeting point when suddenly some of these bandits sprang out from the underbrush and captured us both. | |
Elvrich | I put up a fight, of course, but to no avail. There were just too many of them. You didn't happen to see them? | |
Me | What did the bandits want with you? | |
Elvrich | Sometimes I could overhear them at night. I didn't get everything, but I think they wanted to make us slaves. | |
Me | Where were they going to take you? | |
Elvrich | To a place somewhere here, on the island of Khorinis. But I think one can't get there without a ship. | |
Elvrich | They brought me to a mooring place on the coast. Some pirates were camped out there. | |
Elvrich | One of the bandits approached the pirates to negotiate. They were having a fierce argument. | |
Elvrich | I think that the bandit wanted the pirates to ferry him somewhere, along with me. | |
Elvrich | But the pirates wouldn't have it. So the bandits withdrew, and we've been sitting around here ever since. | |
Elvrich | They seemed to be rather at a loss. And then you came. | |
Me | Pirates in Khorinis? | |
Elvrich | I don't know very much about them. I first clapped eyes on one of them at the mooring place. | |
Elvrich | They always stay in the background. Every single one of them is a wanted criminal in Khorinis. | |
Elvrich | They're afraid of the gallows. That's why you're never going to meet one of them in town. | |
Me | Tell me about Lucia. | |
Elvrich | A girl from the harbor district. She used to work for that horrible Bromor. She's very pretty. | |
Me | Where's the pirates' mooring place? | |
Elvrich | Not far from the harbor of Khorinis. | |
Elvrich | When you stand on the quay and look out to sea, all you need to do is get a boat and go to the right, along the coast. | |
Elvrich | The first small bay you come across is the mooring place I was talking about. | |
Me | Bromor says Lucia walked off with a golden dish ... | |
Elvrich | Well. If Lucia really stole from Bromor, the bandits will certainly have taken the thing from her. | |
Me | Where's Lucia now? | |
Elvrich | We parted ways at the big crossroads in front of Onar's farm. | |
Elvrich | The bandits dragged Lucia off to the woods behind Sekob's farm. | |
Elvrich | May Innos protect her. | |
Me | Did the bandits who held you captive receive a shipment of weapons? | |
Elvrich | Oh yes. So many that they could barely carry them. | |
Elvrich | They took the whole kaboodle and disappeared towards Sekob's farm. | |
Me | I found a letter from your Lucia. | |
Elvrich | (excited) What? Give it here! | |
Elvrich | (desperate) NO! I don't believe this. No. I just can't believe it. | |
Elvrich | (desperate) She can't just leave me behind like this. | |
Elvrich | (desperate) Take this letter back. I don't want it. I firmly believe that she's going to come back to me some day. | |
Me | You should get yourself back to town in a hurry! | |
Elvrich | What else would I be doing? I'm going straight back to my Master Thorben. | |
Elvrich | Will you go look for the bandits? | |
Me | Well, yes, I think so ... | |
Elvrich | If you find Lucia, get her safely back to town, will you? | |
Me | I'll see what I can do. | |
Elvrich | Thanks for saving me! | |
