Moe | Hey, I don't know you. What do you want here? Are you headed for the pub? | |
Me | No, I'm not headed for the pub ... | |
Moe | Yeah, that's what I would have said. But that isn't important - and that's why we can get straight down to business. | |
Moe | Since you're new here, I'll make you an offer. You give me 50 gold pieces, and you can go. | |
Moe | That's your entrance fee for the pub. | |
Me | But I don't want to go to the pub! | |
Moe | You know, sooner or later, everyone wants to go into the pub. So you can pay right now - then you'll have it over with. | |
Me | Oh, so this is the harbor watering hole. And there I was, taking it for the governor's palace. | |
Moe | Hey - cut out the bad jokes, runt, otherwise you'll be chewing the cobblestones. | |
Me | Yes, do you mind? | |
Moe | You've got no business here, runt. | |
Me | Let's find out what the militia thinks of that ... | |
Moe | (laughs) The militia isn't here. And do you know why they aren't here? | |
Moe | This here is the harbor district, runt. None of the militia will pick a fight with me down here. | |
Moe | At the most, they go to the 'Red Lantern'. You see, it's just you and me. (filthy grin) | |
Me | I see, I'll be forced to tan your hide in order to make any progress. | |
Moe | You're welcome to try, runt. Show me what you got! | |
Me | Are you trying to make trouble for me? | |
Moe | Sure, I'm a master at making trouble. So defend yourself, runt. | |
Me | Calm down, all I want to do is drink a beer. | |
Moe | Okay, but it'll cost you 50 gold pieces to get in. (grins) | |
Me | All right, I'll pay. | |
Moe | Great. And since this went so well, now you can give me the rest of what you've got on you. | |
Me | ... but I don't have that much gold with me. | |
Moe | That doesn't matter. Just give me everything you've got on you. | |
Me | ... but I don't even have 10 gold pieces. | |
Moe | Man, did I pick a live one. | |
Moe | All right - sigh - you can go. | |
Me | Forget it, you won't get a single coin! | |
Moe | Then I'll take everything you have - as soon as you're lying on the ground in front of me. | |
Me | OK, this is all I have. | |
Moe | All right, that's enough, then. Ever generous - that's me. (grins) | |
Me | You know your way about the harbor, don't you? | |
Moe | Sure thing. Why? | |
Me | How's the shipping traffic? | |
Moe | The only ship that's come here recently is the paladins' ship. | |
Moe | It's over there behind the rocky ridge to the southwest. | |
Me | Why don't I see any militia? | |
Moe | They don't dare come in here. We take care of things ourselves. | |
Me | What kind of rumors are floating about? | |
Moe | Around here, we don't like people who ask too many questions. Especially not if they're strangers. | |
Moe | Nothing - what could there be? Everything's quiet here. | |
Moe | (contrived) It's bad. Times are hard and we're all trying to stay on the straight and narrow. | |
Me | Stop mocking me. | |
Moe | How could you think something like that of me? I am deeply wounded. | |
Moe | Things are really hot. Lord Andre has been trying for a while to stick his nose into things that don't concern him. | |
Moe | The swells will never understand the way things work down here. | |
Moe | We don't have anything to do with that business. | |
Me | What business? | |
Moe | With that paladin they murdered up there. You really ought to worry about the mercenaries, instead of wasting your time down here. | |
Moe | I know you didn't have anything to do with it, but the murder of the paladin has really frightened the fine gentlemen. | |
Moe | If you want some advice among friends, get out of town. At least for a while. | |
Moe | Since it got out that the mercenaries didn't do in the paladin, the militia doesn't dare come in here at all. | |
Moe | I think they're afraid of a few bloody noses. It's okay with me. | |
Moe | There's absolutely nothing going on here. | |
Moe | Finally those puffed-up paladins are leaving the harbor. It's about time. | |
Moe | Hey, you! Lehmar says hello. | |
