Canthar

HeroTextAudio
MeI've got to go!
CantharSuit yourself.
CantharIt was very foolish of you to attack me.
Canthar(mocking) Did you think you could defeat me that easily?
CantharEither you make amends for this, or I shall see to it that you bitterly regret your deed!
MeAnd what exactly did you have in mind?
MeHere's your gold - let's forget the matter!
CantharVery reasonable of you!
MeI don't have that much!
CantharThen why are you stealing my time?
CantharWho do we have here then?
CantharYou are on your way to the city - am I not right?
MeMaybe.
CantharHm! (snorts) You look like a fugitive! All fugitives are headed for the city.
CantharYou could even be a former convict from the mining colony.
Canthar(hastily) I don't care where you come from. But I believe I have an interesting offer for you...
CantharHow goes the work, peasant?
CantharWhat can I do for you?
MeI can't complain.
CantharCan I do something for you?
MeDo I look like a farmer?
CantharJust like a farmer. But you don't talk like one!
Canthar(pondering) If I am not entirely mistaken, I have an interesting offer for you...
MeWhat do you have to offer?
CantharThe way you look, the guards will never let you into the city.
Canthar(ironic) If you are as 'convincing' with the guards at the gate as you are with me, they will never let you into the city.
CantharI can help you get into the city.
CantharI have here a small piece of paper. With the royal seal and the governor's signature. A pass.
CantharWith this scrap of paper in your pocket, you can run about as raggedly as you please, and the guards will leave you alone.
CantharInterested?
CantharI am a traveling merchant. I sell a bit of everything.
MeThere must be a catch to this ...
Canthar(exaggerated) No. No catch. You will merely owe me a favor.
MeHow will YOU get into town?
CantharThe guards know me. I will simply tell them that I have lost my pass.
MeWhat do you want for your pass?
Canthar(pleased) I KNEW you were the right man!
CantharListen. You will get the pass from me - now.
MeJust like that?
CantharJust so. BUT: If I meet you in the city, you owe me a favor.
CantharDo we have a deal?
MeSure. Give me that paper.
CantharHere. Be careful with that, it is very valuable.
CantharOne more thing: Don't even think about breaking your word!
CantharAs a merchant, I have a great deal of influence in the city - it wouldn't go well for you, believe me!
MeNo! Keep your paper!
CantharHm. I seem to have misjudged you, huh?
CantharWell. Do you want something else? Can I interest you in my wares?
MeShow me your wares!
CantharTake your pick.
CantharYou still owe me a favor. It is time to pay your debt.
CantharHey you, I have a proposition for you.
MeWhat do you want?
CantharI want my old stall in the marketplace back. Sarah snatched it away from me.
CantharBut she has had that spot long enough. I want her to give up the stall.
MeAnd what's my part in this?
CantharI will give you a letter to stick in her pocket.
CantharThen you go to Andre and tell him that Sarah is selling weapons to Onar.
CantharShe lands in prison, you pocket the bounty, and I get the stall.
CantharYou have two days to accomplish this.
MeWhat's in it for me?
CantharWhen I have the stall, you will get a weapon from me - and a damned good one.
MeWhat will happen if I refuse to do that?
CantharThat would be truly stupid of you, because you see, I know that you are an escaped convict.
CantharIf that gets around, it could do considerable harm to your situation in the city...
MeNo, I want no part of this.
CantharThat was the wrong decision, boy. We shall speak again.
MeAll right, looks like I've got no choice.
CantharYou're a clever lad. Here is the letter.
MeHow am I supposed to foist the letter on her?
CantharLet her show you her wares - and while she does, you hide the letter on her.
CantharAnd bear in mind, I am an influential man in the city, so don't try to play me for a fool.
CantharDon't you have a job to do?
CantharFirst foist the letter onto Sarah, then go to Andre and accuse her..
CantharDo that - and don't try to cheat me, you would regret it.
CantharYou are taking your own sweet time about this. Get going!
MeSarah is dead.
CantharReally? Wonderful. Then you have completed your half of our little bargain.
CantharWell done. Sarah is where she belongs.
CantharI have taken over her goods, so if you need a weapon, come to me.
MeYou were going to give me a weapon.
CantharCorrect. Here, this weapon is a masterpiece of the blacksmith's art.
CantharOh, here you are again.
MeWhy aren't you in jail?
CantharI have been released. As I already told you - I am an influential man in the city.
CantharIn the meantime, I have dealt with Sarah myself. You can forget the business with the letter.
CantharDid I not warn you? It would have been better if you had done what I told you.
CantharNow word is out among the merchants that you are a convict.
CantharA regrettable affair - now you won't be able to get even a piece of bread here in the marketplace.
CantharI could, of course, sort things out for you for, shall we say...
CantharHave you come to pay?
MeAll right, I'll pay up, you leave me no choice.
Canthar(grins) Good. Then I shall see to it that your reputation with the merchants rises once again.
MeI haven't got enough money on me ...
CantharThen get it.
MeHow much was that again?
CantharI warned you, but you wouldn't listen. We will discuss this later.
CantharNow get lost, I want to rest.
MeYou're selling illegal mining shares!
CantharYes, and? So what! If I don't do it, someone else will.
