Hey, do you need fish? Get your fish here, fresh from the depths of the sea!
Me
Show me your fish.
Halvor
Hey, if you want to buy fish, come to my booth tomorrow, OK?
Me
Can you tell me something about those missing people?
Halvor
Missing people? This is a harbor, pal. Things like that are bound to happen.
Halvor
The sea is treacherous, and bound to claim a life now and then.
Halvor
Captains of large vessels will always sign on new sailors in large seaports such as Khorinis to complete their crews.
Halvor
And if they don't find any volunteers, some people may get dragged off against their will. And then they're gone.
Me
Do you know of anyone who's missing?
Halvor
No idea. Ask the ship builders.
Me
What ship would that have been?
Halvor
Good question. Not many ships have come into Khorinis lately, that's true.
Me
Are YOU missing someone?
Halvor
Me? No.
Me
I think this piece of paper belongs to you ...
Halvor
What...? Let me see.
Halvor
(sweating) Er... OK, let's stay calm about this - er ... listen. I have resold the goods I got from the bandits.
Halvor
(hastily) But there's no reason to take this straight to the militia, right? I'm sure we can come to an understanding, can't we?
Me
Make me an offer, then.
Halvor
All right. I'll tell you something. I can sell you more than just fish.
Halvor
If you hand me this ridiculous piece of paper and, er ... forget about the matter, you and I can become the best of trading partners.
Me
Looks like it's the slammer for you.
Halvor
No, wait, you can't do that! After all, I'm nothing but ... you know ... small fry.
Me
You should have thought of that sooner. Now I'm going to report you to Lord Andre.
Halvor
You'll regret this.
Me
Oh really? What kind of goods would those be?
Halvor
Well, I could offer you ... quite special fish, you see. Not just plain ones for eating.
Me
You mean like the one that contained your hidden message?
Halvor
You've got it. I have several of those ... fish.
Me
All right, it's a deal. I think we can keep this little matter between ourselves.
Halvor
Thank you. Just drop in the next time you happen to be in the vicinity. I'm bound to have some interesting things for you.
Halvor
I see. You haven't come just to buy fish.
Halvor
(quietly) I'll make you an offer. If you have any silver plates or chalices - I'll take them for a good price.
Halvor
For all your stuff, I'll give you ...
Halvor
You brought too much stuff. I can't give you that much gold all at once.
Halvor
Come back when you have some silver plates or chalices.
Halvor
You can get rid of your silver here tomorrow. Today's too early.
Halvor
Sorry, no more business for today. Come back tomorrow, OK?
Me
All right, sold.
Halvor
We've made some good deals today. Better not come back until tomorrow, or somebody might get suspicious, you see?
Me
I'm looking for a crew.
Halvor
But how are you planning to leave here?
Me
That's my own business.
Halvor
Suit yourself. It's none of my business, really.
Me
I'm going to appropriate a ship.
Halvor
Yeah right. Are you for real? The paladins will make short work of you, when they get hold of you.
Halvor
Suit yourself - it's not my life you're risking.
Me
Wanna come along?
Halvor
Naah, I think not. I've plenty to do here and, honestly, I have no desire to encounter a slave galley full of orcs.
Halvor
But I wish you lots of luck.
Me
Can you help me?
Halvor
I'm not the right person for that. But go talk to Jack, he should be hanging out here somewhere in the harbor. He'll know best what you need to make that journey.
