| Brian | New in the city, huh? I'm Brian! I'm Master Harad's apprentice. | |
| Me | What's it like to be the smith's apprentice? | |
| Brian | Why do you ask? Do you want to be my successor? | |
| Me | Maybe. | |
| Brian | Why not ... I'm almost done with my apprenticeship, and then I'm going to leave the city. | |
| Brian | But not because of Harad. He is a good master - I have learned a lot from him. | |
| Me | Why do you want to leave the town? | |
| Brian | Because the people here are getting on my nerves! Above all the other masters. | |
| Brian | I still remember what a fuss it was getting accepted as an apprentice with Harad. | |
| Brian | Really, every one of those jokers had something to say about it. | |
| Brian | I want to decide for myself who I can or can't take as an apprentice. | |
| Me | Who are the other masters? | |
| Brian | Well, there's Thorben the carpenter, Bosper the bowyer, Constantino the alchemist and Matteo. | |
| Brian | He sells armor, but first of all he's a merchant. | |
| Brian | All the masters have their houses here on the street. | |
| Brian | And Constantino's shop is in the underpass to the temple. | |
| Me | Tell me more about Master Harad. | |
| Brian | He's not in a very good mood right now. | |
| Brian | A few days ago, the paladins came and ordered him to forge some swords for them. | |
| Brian | They've even forbidden him to sell swords to anyone else. | |
| Brian | Now he slaves day and night to finish the job as quickly as possible. | |
| Me | Can I buy weapons from you? | |
| Brian | Not really. I'm merely an assistant. | |
| Brian | The weapons that are made in this smithy are collected by the militia and taken to the towers, where they are stored. | |
| Brian | But if it has anything to do with forging, maybe I can help you. | |
| Me | What can I get from you? | |
| Brian | If I still have a couple of steel billets, you're welcome to them. That's all, I'm afraid. | |
| Brian | Since Harad isn't here any more, the militia is keeping an eye on me. | |
| Brian | I'm not allowed to continue running the smithy. They're afraid I'll just sell the whole thing and skedaddle. | |
| Brian | I can sell you some steel billets. | |
| Me | Can you repair jewelry? | |
| Brian | I'm just an assistant, I'm glad if I'm even allowed to make a dagger. | |
| Brian | Jewelry? You'll have to ask the master. | |
| Me | I heard that you are interested in Jack's old lighthouse. | |
| Me | Jack is considering going back to sea. But his lighthouse would be unguarded then. | |
| Brian | But it should be clear to Jack that I'll make a smithy out of his lighthouse when he isn't there. | |
| Me | Is that a problem? | |
| Brian | (laughs) Not to me. I won't get Harad's smithy anyway. I've put that thought right out of my head. | |
| Brian | Agreed. We'll meet at Jack's. | |
| Me | And, what do you say? | |
| Brian | Lawdy, what a mess. Jack won't recognize the place when I'm done with it. | |
